Personable very competent instructors

We had a fun time bringing our little golden doodle to the dog tank! He did not have the courage to get all the way in but our instructor did a great job of making him comfortable and giving us some great tips. It’s to the kiddie pool for us but I will definitely be back to check his progress!

My pup loves to swim here! But when he got sick and had to go to the vet suddenly, they were not willing to refund me or let me reschedule for another time. I understand not being able to refund, but you’d think a place made for dogs would have the best interest of the dogs and let you reschedule for a time when you’re not at an emergency vet visit. But that’s just me. :) I called several hours before I was scheduled to go too. 🤷‍♀️

We decided to see how our dogs would do in a doggy pool, mainly to give them a new experience and see if they'd enjoy it. We have brought the two of them (both English Cream golden retrievers) twice now, and it's been amazing! Our instructor, Jen, is really knowledgeable and patient. She works at the dogs' levels and doesn't push them, but she also has a great sense of when to see if they're interested in doing more. By the end of the first session both dogs were swimming off the ramp and returning. And after just two sessions, one of our dogs has started jumping off both the lower and higher docks! The younger dog has preferred to just do a little swimming or stay on the ramp--he is not interested in diving. Both dogs have had an amazing time, and we definitely plan to keep going back. I highly recommend this place!

Alysha is fantastic. I had both my pup that is brand new to barn hunt and my older dog that has stalled in his performance. She was able to help me with both dogs and had great and creative ideas to help. She is so upbeat, supportive, and kind. I HIGHLY recommend her!
