What: 2026 Bayshore Bash
When: August 8 - 9, 2026
Where: Tail Waggin Events - Robbinsville, NJ

Join us for two days of celebrating Bayshore Companion Dog Club, its members, and, especially, its pups! Hosted by Tail Waggin’ Events and ZingZingK9 Sports, this fun-filled, dock-centered event will be a chance to kick back in the sunshine with friends and dogs, eat snacks, bond with friends, and watch some dogs have a splashing good time!

Each day will feature two Splashes (regular Distance Jumps). On Saturday, we will interrupt regular jumps with a rousing game of Catch It! Catch It! is a game popularized by Ultimate Air Dogs wherein the handler/dog team MUST make a catch for their score to be counted. We will have two judges - one to judge where the dog lands and one to judge where the dog makes the catch. Those two numbers are added together to make the score. Each team gets two attempts at achieving a score. The biggest score wins! This is a super fun test of handler-dog teamwork and makes for great competitive FUN!

On Sunday, after the two Splashes, there will be Finals with ribbons and prizes for our Top 3 in each division. To qualify for Finals, you must have scores in a minimum of 2 Splashes.

For distance jumping, we will follow the United Dock Diving (UDD) regulations to guide the rules of play. For a looksee on UDD, go to: www.UnitedDockDiving.com. Cost is $20 per splash/game.

Schedule:

Splash #1 - 11am

Registration is now OPEN for 2 Fitness Seminars taught by me!

June 28th at Bayshore Companion Dog Club

Each seminar will kick off with a presentation on the benefits of fitness for the canine athlete, covering the “Whys” and “Whens” of working out, then move into the “Hows” with the dogs. We will also cover warm-up and cool-down exercises by doing warm-ups
at the start and cool-downs at the end. Participants will learn a variety of fitness exercises that cover all aspects of the canine athlete’s form and function, and by the end, should have a good handle on how to implement these exercises into their regular training program.

Handler/Dog teams with marker skills are encouraged to bring along their clickers, if they use them. Please bring treats your dog loves as well, keep the value high! No other equipment is needed as the club has plenty to use.

Pre-Requisites:
Dogs must be over 6 months of age, healthy, and cleared for fitness exercises.
This is not rehabilitation work, and neither injured nor post-op dogs may participate.

Seminar #1 is from 9a - 1p and
Seminar #2 is from 2p - 6p - these are identical seminars.

Cost: $130 for BCDC members,
$160 for non-members.

To register, go to: BayshoreDogClub.org

Cost is $45 per Handler/Dog team - you will receive a minimum of three turns on the dock.

Seminar Alert!
The rig has arrived at the Tail Waggin' Pool, and we can't wait to get started! To kick it off, I am hosting some seminars to get everyone rockin'!
If you want a spot - send me an email at: [email protected]

July 20th & August 3rd
Let’s Get That Bumper!
9am — $150
Space is limited to ensure quality dock time for all teams

Join us for a beginner seminar to learn how to play the game known as Fetch It! or Air Retrieve. It has many names but is all one simple concept: the bumper is hung 4’ above the water, and the dogs jump off the dock to sn**ch it off the strings. With each successful grab, the bumper is moved out in 1’ increments.
This is one of the most fun games to play in dock diving and also one of the most challenging!
It involves brains and brawn, and with a good foundation, it will help your dog’s distance jumping as well.

Though this is a beginner seminar for the game, it is NOT for beginner dock divers. This seminar is only for dogs who are confidently jumping off the dock without hesitation. If you are unsure whether your dog is ready for it, please reach out, and we can discuss it.

To register, send an email to: [email protected]. Once your spot has been approved, an invoice for payment will be sent.

** Rain Date: August 10 **

Sunday, August 3rd
Let’s Practice Getting That Bumper!
1130am - 2pm
$60

This is an open practice for dogs who already play Fetch It! / Air Retrieve and is an opportunity to practice your team skills, get some coaching and learn from other teams as we troubleshoot and perfect your steps playing this super fun game!
When you register, you will give your starting distance and we will work the practice time in a round robin manner while still allowing each team a chance to hone their skills as needed. We will be using either the NADD approved AR bumpers or double string foamies - you can choose which you’d like to use.

Space will be limited to allow for concentrated work for each team. Working spots only, no audits, no guests. To register, send an email to: [email protected]. Once your spot has been approved, an invoice for payment will be sent.

** Rain Date: August 10th **
