Dock Diving and Swim Lessons
Dock Diving
Dock diving is a thrilling sport that has gained popularity among dog owners in recent years. It involves dogs jumping off a dock into a pool of water, with the goal achieving the longest distance, fastest retrieval time, or vertical jumping ability. This activity is not only fun for dogs, but it also provides them with a great workout and helps to build their confidence. Whether you're a seasoned competitor or just starting out, dock diving is a great way to bond with your furry friend and enjoy the great outdoors. Enroll in one of our Intro to Swim classes or book a private session to get started!
Staying or Playing with us? You can add on a pool experience to any daycamp, or boarding reservation (weather permitting).
