Hey youth handlers! There’s an amazing youth awards program United Dock Diving has rolled out this year, we hope you’ll come jump with us!

Did you catch the news about our Youth Awards Program for 2026?

Last fall we announced our plans for the 2026-2027 dock season, but it’s been a while so we wanted to bring it up again.

United Dock Diving is proud to launch our Youth Awards Program—an exciting new way to celebrate the next generation of dock diving handlers!

Starting with the 2026 season, one youth competitor will be chosen from each division—Varsity, JV, and Freshman—to receive recognition and rewards for their hard work, dedication, and love for the sport.

Awards:

✨ Varsity Winner – $400 in credits for the 2027 season
✨ JV Winner – $400 in credits for the 2027 season
✨ Freshman Winner – $200 in credits for the 2027 season

How to Qualify:

✔️ Compete with your dog in 2+ events during the 2026 season
✔️ Appear in the official rankings
✔️ Submit an age-appropriate essay about your experiences in dock diving

This award was made possible thanks to AlphaleaderK9Training, whose incredible fundraising efforts, raised and donated $500 to kickstart the Youth Program. 🙌 UDD is proud to match their donation—because the youth handlers of today are the future champions of tomorrow!

Stay tuned for more details on how to apply—let’s keep growing the future of our sport together! 💙

Congratulations Payton and Zeus!!

ANOTHER NEW RECORD ALERT!!

What an unforgettable weekend at the Mid-Michigan Pet Expo!

A huge congratulations to Payton Latcham and Zeus for absolutely crushing it and setting a NEW High Jump record for Giant Dogs with an incredible height of 5’10”!

Zeus showed off unbelievable power, athleticism, and heart as he soared to new heights—literally rewriting the record books!

This team set the bar (and then jump right over it!) and we couldn’t be more excited to witness such an amazing achievement.

👏 Help us celebrate this incredible accomplishment! There’s WAY MORE gas in this big guy’s tank.
