Extreme Air
The first time I saw Reggie jump 7 feet 3 inches at our pool, I was thrilled.  What a leap!  “Reggie” is a 3 year old black lab owned by Scott Conrad of Red Lion, PA.

Congratulations go out to Reggie who won the Extreme Air competition at the recent PawsAbilities dog event at the Farm Show complex.

We have recently installed an adjustable hurdle on our dock to help dogs get height in their dives. 

Coming Soon:  Our Extreme Air pole which will be used to train dogs to jump in Extreme Air competition.

Dock Diving Terminology
Big Air Diving:  Big Air is the long jump equivalent for canine athletes.  At speeds over 20 mph; these dogs catapult themselves off the end of a 40-foot dock into a body of water to retrieve their favorite toy.  Jump distances are measured from the end of the dock to where the base of the dogs’ tail breaks the water.  A Greyhound named “Country” holds the current world record at 28 feet, 10 inches.

Extreme Vertical Jumping Extreme vertical is a high jump contest in which the dog launches upward, nearly seven feet in the air, to quench his instinctual desire to play fetch in its most extreme form.  Rather than clearing a cross bar as in track and field, the dogs must knock down a bumper which is suspended over the water and is positioned eight feet out from the end of the dock.  The current world record is 7 feet 8 inches.
