Omg... can you believe it? rofl

Why would anyone like to teach their pet to freedive? I'm sure they can keep an eye on you when you do your statics and dynamics - the perfect dive buddy!

I taught my border collie to tap me at 4 minutes, 4 and a half and every 15 seconds after that..... though if I ask for different taps that screws around with him a bit.

And he still has a long way to go on his Constant Weight No Paws.

This STINKS. I've sent this to my old boyfrend who worx at the PETA so he can make an arrangement for demonstration against this company. Why they have to exploit and torchur poor animals?

I'm getting a rabbit when I move to Cornwall

Do you think a lop eared one would have trouble equalising?

 

[wet]

Do they have a class for pet goldfish?

Woah, that's a lot of ear to equalise...

[Marwan]

wow, they could also have spearfishing classes, a grizzly bear could be your best budy when hunting for salmon..

I have some goldfish and they are quite keen on giving it a try.

Some breeds of goldfish don't look too happy about the idea, judging by their facial expression...
Lionhead Goldfish

These forgot to equalise their mask...
Globe Eye Goldfish

And I hope these ones don't ever try packing...
Pearlscale Goldfish

And this one, which apparently doesn't like a strong overhead light... (Warning - not a pretty sight unless you like all fancy goldfish!)

Imagine a DOG CO2 TABLE:

1. Secure the dog's paws
2. Strap the mouth shut
3. Place the dog's face in the apnea device
4. Secure in place
5. Press the start button
6. Come back in 5 hours

....in the meantime.....

the apnea device pinches the dogs nose shut for 1.5 minutes, then releases it for 30 seconds, then pinches it shut for 1.5 minutes, then releases it for 30 seconds.... minute after minute, hour after hour...

....now imagine a room filled with 100 such dogs attached to 100 such machines.... pinch.... hold.... release ....pinch.... hold.... release.... mmmm.... good dog.

 

[BennyB]

And think of all the trees you'd need in that room with the canine immersion diuresus...

 

[Rogert]

wow, they could also have spearfishing classes, a grizzly bear could be your best budy when hunting for salmon..

Hey my dog Sue loves to come diving with me. When I say diving With me I mean I do the diving and she just swims out with me. She has no trouble swimming 500m off shore and then she just heads for the beach when she is ready. She keeps an eye on me but I don't think she would be much good for a rescue.
As for going under the water she shows no inclination whatsoever to join me and I am not about to make her. I think these people are nuts. They sure are funny though.rofl

Pearlscale Goldfish

Imagine the potential for new world records though. We could have a WR classifiaction for every different pet breed and of course for tandem records with every breed. Imagine the allure, not only will we teach your collie to freedive, you can set the world record in tandem static with in the human/collie classification.

Cheers Wes
