About North America Diving Dogs

Dock Diving is one of the fastest growing sports for your dog.  North America Diving Dogs is an organization that has enhanced the sport by working with dock diving facilities & competitors across North America.

North America Diving Dogs titles are recognized by the American Kennel Club (AKC) though the AKC’s Title Recognition Program.  Your dog DOES NOT have to be an AKC registered dog to participate in a North America Diving Dogs trial.  

If you are new to the sport, most of the dock diving facilities have training programs for you and your dog to learn about dock diving.

North America Diving Dogs is open for all breeds and mixes.  We have created divisions so any size and age of dog can achieve excellence.  The Open class is for all size dogs.  The Lap Class is for all dogs under 16″ at the withers.  If you have a Lap Class dog it can achieve the same titles as the Open Class but does not have to jump the same distance.  We also offer a Veterans division.

North America Diving Dogs recognizes every Qualifying jump that your dog earns toward a Title no matter what division it is earned in.  Qualifying jumps add up to Titles throughout your dog’s entire career. Your NADD titles will be recognized by both AKC & CKC.

North America Diving Dogs is staffed by individuals passionate about the sport and the competitors (the dogs) both new & experienced, so we want both the events and competitors to be successful in the sport of dock diving. All facilities are independently owned. NADD has 7 portable docks that brings dock diving to the AKC shows, as a special attraction, to introduce more dogs to the sport.
