About Our Dock Diving Dogs

Australian Shepherds, by nature, are highly intelligent and energetic dogs. They are natural retrievers and have an affinity for water. Dock diving is a sport that allows Aussies to tap into these innate senses.

The object is for the dog to run and jump off the end of a dock into a body of water and suspend in air as long as possible. It is the job of a handler to throw a toy as a directional to get the dog to jump.

Competitive dock diving was established in 1997, and today, there are several dock diving associations and competitions.
