We took our two dogs to the Dog Tank for the first time and had a session with Jaiden and it was fantastic! Jaiden was great at giving us tips on getting our dogs (and us!) used to the setup. We have one confident swimmer and one pup who isn’t as excited by the water and he did great with both. Our enthusiastic swimmer threw a fit when we had to leave he was having so much fun. We left with two tired pups and we can’t wait to come back. The water was lightly chlorinated and didn’t irritate either of our dogs’ skin, and both have pretty sensitive skin. Highly recommend.

We brought our three British Labs for some swim time and Dock Diving. It was the first time for our 12mo. old and the trainer was very helpful in getting her started and her confidence built up to go off the ramp. Next time she will move to the low platform and then on to the big dog platform with the other girls. Our dogs get so excited once hit the parking lot -- over the top - and will drag you into the building. It is the the best time of their lives.

Steve was very helpful and had great advice for us to help our dog excel. We look forward to utilizing the facility for more training in the future!

This is a great place to take your dog, swimming to burn some fast, energy, healthy on their joints and they have a great staff there I would highly recommend this place. Very good experience.

I've had my 4 year old Golden to the Dog Tank on a few occasions. She LOVES it. I had a trainer, Jaiden, to introduce my 2 year old Golden to the pool. He was excellent and very patient with her even though she didn't have a lot of interest in retrieving (she likes to retrieve her sister). WIth that said, they both had a wonderful time! I will be back soon
