Any SplashDogs in the Phoenix area?

[LOUdog]

Hi all, my name's Stacy and I was wondering if any of you live in or around Phoenix Arizona?

I'm brand new to this sport.... didn't realize it actually existed....
All i know is that my 10 month old black lab loves to jump into bodies of water....
All day long he jumps into the pool... over and over and over.... and at the lake its over and over and over off the dock.

He's not particularly good at it..... but it seems to be his favorite activity [other than raiding trash cans].... so here I am.

If any of you are in my area I would love to hear from you.... find out how/where you train..... maybe get together?

Let me know, any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hello, I have never done this sport before but am very interested in doing so. HAve you found any info yet? I am a dog trainer and am active in many other sports.

Look forward to talking with you,

Dave

Perhaps the best way to learn regarding the event is to come to an event.
Try to come to the Scottsdale event. There will be informative training sessions and one on one if needed. Please ask for Greg "The Voice Of Splashdogs" and I will be happy to help you

hi dave-

unfortunately i dont think there are any clubs in the phoenix area. however, as greg here has mentioned, there is a competition in scottsdale at the end of the month that should be a great place to learn.

in the mean time, ive continued to take my dog to the park in gilbert [cosmo] to let him practice on his own and have even met there with another member and his dog who have competed before to get some tips.

id love to set up another such meeting for the three of us and maybe start discussing the idea of starting a group for this area!

if youre interested email me at stacybird@mac.com, ill respond to that faster than a post on here.

hope to hear from you soon!

Hi guys,
My name is Frank Jones and my dog is named Maggie. Me and some other people are putting together a meeting to start a dock jumping club in Arizona in the near future. We would like anyone who is interested in this to attend. If you are interested please call me at 480-326-6167 or e-mail me at 007jones@cox.net so I can put you on the list people who are interested. You can also find me and Maggie at the Cosmo Dog Park at least 3 times a week. We are easy to spot!
Thanx
