They are very good at training and helping your dog to swim. When I first went my Rottweiler puppy was afraid to get in the water and swim but after 4 sessions he is not afraid anymore. He gets in the pool by himself and loves swimming. They were very patient with him. Thank you so much for helping Teddy swim

Tom & Kristina are knowledgeable, professional, friendly & caring. When I first brought “Athena” to them for therapy for her arthritis, she had never been swimming & she was 9yrs old. But the pool set-up w/a gently sloping ramp, a life jacket & some urging w/treats, soon had her in the salt water pool. At first she was tense & anxious. It showed. But Kristina sweet-talked her into relaxing & once up on the ledge, a massage & gentle stretches for those poor old joints. That part isn’t so bad. 😊 After many returns, she still isn’t fond of the water, but she likes Tom, Kristina & their assistants. The treats & rub downs are always good. If they can get a non-water-loving, 80lb Mastiff mix to swim, they can help anyone. See pix on their Facebook page of dogs literally leaping into the pool. They are also amazing w/amputee dogs. My vet says swimming is great for Athena as it allows her to use her muscles w/o the strain of her body weight. The other best part is the totally, absolutely reasonable pricing. I definitely feel I get my money’s worth & Athena gets some awesome treatment for her stiff, old bones 🦴 🦴 I cannot recommend them highly enough. 🥰

The water therapists were amazing with Meeka 4 year pomsky and Ali 1 year goberian. They were very hands on, knowledgeable and caring. Communication with our dogs were gentle, kind and effective. Each time our dogs accomplished a goal, the instructors celebrated with them. Positive reinforcement was used according to what motivates our dogs such as food or toys. Ali in the beginning was very timid. The instructors worked with her anxiety so it greatly decreased. The facilities are clean and the dog walk area is separated from the pool. They are always excited to see our dogs and are timely in getting back with you to answer your questions. I highly recommend them for water therapy, swim lessons or to just have fun in the pool.

My 8 month old Doberman, Dream Katcher had a great first swim yesterday. The trainers were wonderful and handled Kattcher with such positive reinforcement! He is no Labrador yet, but there is hope he will eventually swim like one !

My poodle LOVES to swim and play with other dogs. But because we live in Florida, I can't let him swim in just any pond or lake 🐊 I'm so glad I found this puppy pool for him! After a one on one session, he was able to join the open swim sessions on Sundays. He has such a great time and I can't wait for this to become a Sunday tradition for us!!
