10/10! Jaiden was a great instructor for our first dock diving lesson! Although I know a lot about dogs and dog training, this was my first experience with Dock diving, and could not be happier with the instruction. Our year old Basset Fauve de Bretagne (Inspector Stubbs) has never swam, been around more water than a hose, but enjoyed the session, especially at the end of the visit. Jaiden's gentle patience and encouragement was a success. Thank you!

Dande Loves The Dog Tank!! Every lesson we have taken has been beneficial with several different instructors. We have introduced speed retrieve, vertical and big air. It is a great location, building and set up. Kind staff. Plenty of area for walks outside. Lovely, highly recommended place.

Had never been there before and didn't know what to expect. It was the first barn hunt private lesson my dog and I have ever had. Waited in lobby area to be greeted by trainer, but was let into training area by another trainer. Am chemically sensitive and was hit by the smell of chlorine/bleach from the dog tank, which made me sick the rest of the day. My dog learns quickly and gets distracted quite easily, so after awhile, he wasn't interested in the rat's tube. He wanted to know what was going on with the dog being trained in the pool. After a couple attempts with him to sniff and paw at the tube and receive positive reinforcement, he went up to the hay enclosure and was curious about it, but that was not part of the first training, so again I could tell he was bored. And then the half hour lesson was over. I probably will not schedule another appointment because of my reaction to the smells from the pool.
