Dock jumping also known as dock diving is a dog sport in which dogs compete in jumping for distance or height from a dock into a body of water.



The dock is usually 35 to 40 ft (11 to 12 m) long by 8 ft (2.4 m) wide and 2 ft (0.6 m) above the water surface, but may differ depending on the sanctioning organization. Any body of water or pool that is at least 4 ft (1.2 m) deep can be used.
The dock is covered in artificial turf, carpet, or a rubber mat for better traction and safety for the competitors.

The handler may use any amount of the dock and they may start their dog from any point on the dock when competing.
