" love it, it's great exercise, he sleeps all nightStarted in 2000, Dock Diving has rapidly become a favorite competitive dog sport."

" Known as the 'long jump' for dogs, the goal is simple: the dog that jumps the furthest wins. Here's how it works: The Handler throws a toy into a body of water. Then, the dog runs down a 40-foot dock and jumps as far and high has he can into water. The distance of the jump is measured by where the base of the tail lands, making it fair for dogs of every size to compete. Each dog gets at least two attempts to jump and their score is based on their longest jump. Dogs must be 6 months to compete. Although it has been dominated by sporting dogs, like Labrador Retrievers, a greyhound holds the current world record jump of 28'10".Bite: any dog can do this. It doesn't have to be a pure-bred, it doesn't have to be anything inparticular, just any dog that wants to get in the water and have their toyDock diving is a big draw for many pet owners because it's an easy sport to learn, it doesn't require a lot of training and it offers dogs a low-impact exercise. Many participants find that dock diving is a great outlet for high energy dogs and can help with behavioral issues. Bite: Dogs just have so much fun. That's what's its supposed to be all about, having fun with the dog."
