Our dogs dock dived for the first time and loved it! They had their own trainer working with them which was great!
My dog is still very hesitant to go in the pool. Steve did a nice job of breaking it down to help her feel more comfortable. I was happy to see some progress and he left us with some good tips for the future to work with her with water. Thank you.
This was one of the best outings we have had here in MN. Our Golden Retriever didn't want to leave. It is clean, comfortable, and has a great staff. Steve was so informative and genuinely enjoyed his job. We will be back!!!

AVOID THIS PLACE, THE OWNER (KRISTIN) WILL STEAL YOUR MONEY! We signed up for a class that was set to start on 6/19 but unfortunately could not make it. Per the cancellation policy, we notified the owner via email (and call/text, but she did not answer either of those) and said we were open to registering for the same class later in the season. She gave us one option in September but by the time we were able to get back to her, the class was full and there were no more classes on the schedule, so we requested a refund instead. Her cancellation policy states that as long as we notify her at least 1 week before the start of the class, we would receive a refund. We notified her over 1 week before the start of the class. She wrote back saying that because SHE couldn’t fill our spot in the class in time, that we would not be receiving a refund. She is now avoiding our calls, emails, and texts and refuses to refund our money even though we adhered to her cancellation policy by giving her appropriate notice. Very embarrassing and shady way for a business owner to act.
