N.I.F. = Non intimidation factor... Yeah that's right... our goal is to get as many new dogs introduced to these new sports as we possibly can... so if you're new, you're gonna feel special, not intimidated!!!
Born out of pure boredom during the CoVid-19 pandemic, the Titan Dog Games is the brainchild of accomplished dock jumping event producer & owner of Ultimate Air Dogs, as well as former Major League Baseball Starting Pitcher, Milt Wilcox, and his wife Cathi.
We've been so used to being on the road, doing events, meeting people and playing with their dogs... and then CoVid came and put us on pause... so we knew we had to pivot.
Meanwhile, because we've been "grounded" from doing our own events, we started attending Protection and Detection training at Foundation First K9 in Jacksonville, FL, which made us realize that these are 2 sports that people that typically come to our events, would probably never try with their dogs... not knowing that their dogs would and could actually do them. So we decided to create something new that we could introduce more dogs to...
Titan Dog Games currently has 4 sports which are sports that can be trained to most any dog. Right now it's Dock Jumping, 40-Yard Dog Dash, Protection, and Detection, but we plan to add Tactical Agility in the future.
We picked these 4 sports to start with mainly because we produce 2 of them (Dock Jumping and the 40-Yard Dog Dash), and we now have a built-in new family within Protection and Detection with some of our Dock Jumping clubs, but especially where we attend at Foundation First K9.
Some of the FFK9 people were interested in Dock Jumping, and started coming to our place for lessons, so we started by reaching out to our Dock Jumping & Dog Dash family, knowing that by taking away the intimidation factor that comes with starting new dogs sports, we could see a crossover that would make TDG work!
