Summary
Dock Diving is a fun, exciting, and easy sport – especially if your dog can jump fearlessly into water after their favorite toy! You throw your dog’s favorite toy into a pool while he waits on a dog about 40 ft long. On your command he chases after the toy by jumping off of the platform, landing in the water and grabbing his toy. The dog with the furthest jump wins!
This sport is ideal for water loving dogs, and toy retrievers!
