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 grabs 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.

Private Lessons
Private lessons are 45 minutes and can be scheduled Tuesday thru Friday from 10:00AM to 7:00PM and Saturday 10:00AM to 2:00 PM. It is highly recommended that beginners/new dock diving dogs schedule a private lesson because they need more one on one time. To schedule a private lesson:
Cost – $45.00 per lesson per family, maximum of two dogs, add $10.00 per dog per visit over the maximum.
To schedule a lesson: email, our preferred method of contact, info@crosscreekdogs.com or you can call or text 513-404-3453. When contacting us to schedule a lesson please include a date or two and a 1 -2 hour time frame you would like to schedule your lesson.
