We are the Minnesota Affiliate Club of Worldwide DockDogs® Inc. We were formed in 2003 and are the first Dockdogs affiliate club.
You are reading this because you have probably seen this sport on ESPN, the Outdoor Channel, or been to one of our events and thought, “I would like to get involved,” – but how?!
Congratulations! We welcome you to this fun sport that we all enjoy and love so much!
People “get involved” in dock jumping for many reasons, first and foremost as a way to have fun with their best friend. Others like the competitiveness of the sport, while others are enjoying the friends they are making across the country as they travel.
National Events and Club Affiliate Events
DockDogs® offers two types of events. Our National Organization hosts events across the country in what we call “National Events.” The ranking and titles are earned for your dog if you compete in any of the three disciplines described below. Here in Minnesota, like other Affiliate Clubs across the country, we host events referred to as “Regional Events.” Separate rankings and titles are offered to dogs that compete in these types of events. Our club Big Air & Speed Retrieve are manually judged by certified DockDogs judges. For a complete detailed explanation of all the rules and policies, visit
Rules & Policies on the DockDogs® website.
The DockDog team consists of one handler and their dog. Handlers need to be at least seven years old.
Any dog, of any breed over 6 months old can try their “paw” at this sport.
