OUR GAMES
SPLASH" Ultimate Air (Distance jumping) is the main feature of our events. Dogs run down a dock and fly into a pool - the distance is judged from the end of the dock nearest the waters' edge, to the base of the dog’s tail. It is showcased in different rounds called “SPLASHES”. At a typical event, we usually host anywhere from 2 to 15 Splashes - culminating at the end of the event with our Divisional Finals.
FETCH-IT” a bumper is suspended 4ft off the water, and starting at a minimum distance of 10ft out... the dog must knock the bumper out of it’s hold within 2 attempts in order to move to the next distance. The bumper is moved out at 1ft increments and the dogs take turns going for the FETCH! A dog stays in the competition until he misses 3 times. The dog that knocks the bumper off at the furthest distance with the least amount of misses wins. It is not only a sport of endurance and skill, it also helps your dog to jump further in our regular Splashes as it trains his or her muscle memory and improves speed on the dock... and it is only found at Ultimate Air Dogs, and now as seen on TV at the ProPlan Incredible Dog Challenge!!! ( 4 CHANCES ( Make them your best 4 ) TWO CONSECUTIVE MISSES YOUR OUT !! )
“CHASE-IT” - is a timed swimming race that ultimately proves which dog is the FASTEST DOG!!!
The dog starts at the waters edge end of the dock, so that the game is played fairly... because it’s about the fastest swimmer, and not about the dog who jumps the furthest. Chase-It is another Ultimate Air Dogs exclusive, that really gets the crowds cheering for the dogs!
“CATCH-IT” is new twist on the Ultimate Distance game (Splash). The winning team is so connected, that if the dog was a person, they would finish each others sentences! Catch-It was invented by our founder Milt Wilcox, and is only played at Ultimate Air Dogs!!! It runs the same way as a SPLASH, where two jumps for each dog are judged by 2 distance points, however the dog MUST catch the object thrown for the jump to count, as opposed to SPLASHES, where only the best jump is the score. The distance is recorded where the dog makes the catch, as well as where the dogs tail lands in the water. Each dog gets 2 back-to-back chances to make their best catch. Then, the jump distances are added together for the score. Not only is it an added challenge for the dog to catch the throw object while in mid-air, it also requires intense concentration, spot-on timing, and strategy from the handler. Catch-It is played by the most highly skilled teams. It is extremely fun to watch, and highly addicting!!!All of our sports have been a huge success for both the dogs and their handlers, as well as the fans that cheer on the dogs!
