"We're glad to work with you if you have a dog," says Jim Wood. "We will take the time and work with you and if the dog likes the water at all we can get them in the water and get them jumping."

Eric Carstensen and his dog are first time competitors, he hopes that his dog can break a new personal record and competing is something he has always wanted to do.

"I've just kind of been hooked, I've always been around activities like this," says Carstensen.
