Dock Dogs is Back

Join us for Ruff Mountain, a weekend of dock-jumping dogs, live music, great food, and plenty of fun for the whole family.

Watch as dogs of all sizes launch off the dock in different agility competitions, showing off serious hang time and big energy. From seasoned pros to first-time jumpers, these pups know how to put on a show.

It’s fun, it’s outdoors, and yes—your dog can even give it a try!
