Teams compete regionally around the world on the same day; with over 250 chapters spread across the world – that’s a lot of discs and dogs!

“We are so excited to be able to host this national championship right here in Central Virginia,” said Erika Proctor, founder and director of GDU. She hopes audience members will be inspired to participate in the sport – and that watching some of the hearing or vision-impaired dogs competing will help people understand that special needs dogs can live full, joyful lives. “This sport is not only incredibly fun, but it helps create unbreakable bonds between humans and their canine companions,” Proctor said.
