Sit Means Sit Dog Training is the largest and most successful U.S. based dog training company in the United States. Sit Means Sit is now both national and international, specializing in producing happy and confident dogs both off-leash and under total control.
Aqua Dogs was founded on two very simple premises. The first, is to provide a year round practice facility for all dock diving, better known as dock jumping, clubs. With three locations coming to Ohio by 2012, our indoor and outdoor facility will allow you to keep your dogs tuned up year round. Our second premise is to enhance the sport of dock diving, by providing training to those who are interested in the sport, but just don’t know how to get started. Once you have completed your training, and are now ready to compete, there are several competition clubs across the U.S. where you will be able to compete with your furry friend. Aqua Dogs encourages everyone to compete with multiple organizations, and does not promote one over the other. It is all about having fun with your dogs, and improving the quality of their lives, one dog at a time.
Splash Dogs is a national sporting event company. Splash Dogs hosts competitions where competitors earn points towards national and world championships. They will be holding a dock diving competition during the Paws in the Pool event. Register to compete soon at www.splashdogs.com.
