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!!!
“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!
