i could be wrong so anyone correct me please if i am..but from the people i talked to all say you just go..some said weight training and such to make the dogs stronger, but for the "dock dogs" it is actually the event only..not a build of training for i was like you..where do i go..what do i do!!!! i think this is perfect for Vic! so far that is all i have had for reply..you dont'..you just go when they set it up. I am anxiously awaiting spring!!! i missed cabella's annual event last year.
you will have to let me know how it turns out for you..and i will post when we try too! in the meantime i will keep looking..the lakes that are public around here you wouldn't put your dog in..fish hooks, broken bottles all are so bad..people throw the bottles in without thinking and they fish off of docks..i had a labrador that ran a three prong hook in his leg while retreiving a duck. He required 80 stitches that he chewed out twice before it finally healed so i am not going to try just any old dock here. There has to be a place! i wish they would make one at the off leash park one side of the dog beach. That is the only water i will put Vic in. I so wish you could have seen him the day the fish (and it must have been a big one too) kept biting his tail. He would swim out his hind end would sink a little..he would whip around in the water like what the heck...then try to swim out to his ball..i laughed until i had tears it was so funny..wonder what that fish thought it was!
tat is the problem using retention pond to practise with.. but so far over here we hardly can get a dog pool, once russell play in an abandon pond, there is something half float out the water and u can see the bubbles follow him behind, i m so scare just shout and keep throw stones to that creature, luckily turn out everybody safe, i still no idea what s that, probably just a turtle, but i never return there again.. btw, is a pond surrounded by jogging trek so dont think is crocodile.. 
hey smkie,
been away quite some times, here my update..
finally i hv my very first try on the 'dock' for russell, but it is not really a dock just a plank. after few try i try to raise the plank and he actually getting confident.
i think i hv to put a jump in front of the plank so that he will jump further into the water.. anyway its so much fun!
