We absolutely loved our experience at Dip’n Dogs! I took Ginny for her first swim lesson last week. Rachel was so kind and helpful. She has an amazing, positive energy. She was patient and gracious with Ginny, and we could see improvement right away! I can’t wait to book our next lesson!

My Goldendoodle, Ruby loved the water but did not know how to swim. (She didn't kick her back legs and just splashed with her arms.) Rachel worked with her to help her learn how to use her legs properly and feel more confident in the pool. After four lessons Ruby is doing great and even swam across the pool to get a toy yesterday at a pool party. Something I swore she would have NEVER done before. Thank you Rachel for teaching my girl to swim!!
