Dock Jumping Classes
Dock jumping is a performance sport where dogs jump off a dock into a pool during hosted events. Dock Jumping lessons are offered in the categories of Distance Jumping, Catch-It (catching a toy or bumper in the air during the distance jump) and Fetch-It which is taking down a bumper suspended 4 feet over the water at a distance of 12’ to 30’ away from the dock.
Our training is geared for the beginning dog learning how to swim and jump off the dock up to the sport dog competing in National Championship venues such as UAD-Ultimate Air Dogs, PPPIDC=Purina Pro Plan© Incredible Dog Challenge, SRS=Super Retriever Series and the like.
Students should bring a buckle collar and cotton or nylon leash plus a floatable toy. Wear clothing that you won’t mind getting wet. Come prepared to get in the pool if your dog needs to learn to swim. (A changing room is available to go from street clothes to swimsuit).
Our next session of group dock jumping classes will begin in June 2024. Watch for posted dates and times in the future.
Beginner dog class starts at 6:00 pm and advanced jump class (for dogs already jumping off the dock) begins at 7:30 pm. These classes will meet every Tuesday for 4 weeks at the cost of $200.
