A non-competitive opportunity to see if your dog is a good fit for the sport of DockDogs

• Thursday, June 25th 5:00pm - 8:00pm

• Czech Village: 208 12th Ave SE, Cedar Rapids, IA 52401

“Let’s Try DockDogs” (pre-registration required!) is back! If you've ever wondered about unleashing the untapped potential of your canine companion, here's your golden opportunity! We invite you to join us in the thrilling world of DockDogs before the seasoned professionals take the docks.

A team is made up of a handler and a canine, and you are a TEAM, you each have a role to play. Because of this, the registration is for a single team, not one person, many dogs, many persons of the same family and their many dogs; just one DockDogs team.

The Let’s Try group of handlers who will be working with your dog are comprised of competitors from around the Midwest who have many years and many championships under their belts in a variety of dog sports and DockDogs. Listen to them, the advice they give is because they have seen what works and what doesn’t. Never competed before? No problem! Try DockDogs is designed for that very reason.

Following Try Docks, join us for three consecutive days of DockDogs! DockDogs is a series of competitive dog jumping events held around the world each year. DockDogs consists of three main aquatic events: big air, extreme vertical, and speed retrieval.

DockDogs is the perfect event for both human and canine! As seen on ESPN, ABC, and Outdoor Channel, DockDogs has evolved to the fastest growing sport for our four legged friends.

DockDogs is a rain or shine event, but if there is lightning, we will delay competitions. If you would like to compete, register here!
