check out the video in my original post and you will see what they do! you can also check out www.dockdogs.com and learn about the sport. i've been wanting to get finn into it ever since i first got him! it's gaining in popularity, so hopefully events will be more frequent in the next couple years. but, basically, it's like when humans compete in the long jump event in track and field, only the dogs land in water. the dog can be placed anywhere on a forty-foot dock and the object is for your dog to jump the furthest. they measure from the end of the dock to where the dog's tail meets his body. the world record is 28'10" and it's held by a greyhound/coonhound mix.
