What is Dock Diving?

Dock Diving is a fun, exciting, but easy-to-do sport with simple rules: You throw your dog’s favorite toy into a pond/pool while he waits on the dock. On your command, he runs down the dock, flings himself off the end to grab or catch his toy. The goal? To have fun and see how far your pup can jump!

We work with all shapes, sizes, and breeds including mixed dogs. We can help you learn the sport of dock diving or just teach your dog to swim. We also work with seasoned dogs and handlers that would like to improve their skills. Our teaching methods are positive to give you and your dog(s) a very pleasant and successful experience.
