yea i pushed the little pup in and he came right out , but he really wanted to go in seeing the other one in , and yea my black lab was showing off for the little one cause normally when i take her by her self to the lake she does good but sometimes she hesitates , today she was in one after another an kept wanting me to throw it like she was begging , she never used to beg and another thing she was jumping off the bank before she was runing in or walking in it was awsome i was really happy with her today
