SPECIAL NOTES REGARDING THIS EVENT:

This event includes UAD exclusive games: Fetch-It, Chase-It, Catch-It, and Catch-It Pro. If time permits, our team will hold a demonstration of each game, followed by a hands-on practice session for those who are signed up (or are interested in signing up) before the actual event starts. Please note: Fetch-It, Catch-It, and Catch-It Pro are $25 if you pre-register online, and $30 on-site registration.

“FETCH-IT” is a sport that was developed by Milt Wilcox & Bill Richardson in 2008, and is only found at Ultimate Air Dogs. It is the horizontal version of a sport called "vertical”.  The rigs look very similar, but the outcome is completely opposite, whereby the dogs jump out, and not up... In other words, a very safe alternative, as well as an excellent training tool for distance jumping. Unlike the other "vertical" sports, dogs will not hit the bottom of the pool (risking serious injury) in the game of Fetch-It. UAD has done "vertical" in the past, but when we saw the horrifying footage taken from the underwater camera that we placed at the bottom of the pool specifically out of curiosity to view how the dogs were landing, we immediately cancelled the sport indefinitely, and developed Fetch-It.

“CHASE-IT” - is a timed swimming race that ultimately proves which dog is the FASTEST DOG!!!  The dog starts at the waters edge end of the dock, so that the game is played fairly... because it’s about the fastest swimmer, and not about the dog who jumps the furthest. Chase-It is another Ultimate Air Dogs exclusive, that really gets the crowds cheering for the dogs!

“CATCH-IT” is new twist on the Ultimate Distance game (Splash). The winning team is so connected, that if the dog was a person, they would finish each others sentences! Catch-It was invented by our founder Milt Wilcox, and is only played at Ultimate Air Dogs!!! It runs the same way as a SPLASH, where two jumps for each dog are judged by 2 distance points, however the dog MUST catch the object thrown for the jump to count, as opposed to SPLASHES, where only the best jump is the score. The distance is recorded where the dog makes the catch, as well as where the dogs tail lands in the water. Catch-It is played by the most highly skilled teams. It is extremely fun to watch, and highly addicting!!!All of our sports have been a huge success for both the dogs and their handlers, as well as the fans that cheer on the dogs!

“CATCH-IT PRO” is NOT for the faint at heart! This new game was adopted from Catch-It by Cathi Wilcox, where unlike Catch-It, there is no Jump score… Catch-It Pro is only about… you guessed it… THE CATCH!! Catch-It Pro separates the veterans from the rookies... This is PURE COMPETITION!
