We took our 6-1/2 month Vizsla for a swim lesson today and she loved it - so did we. She had started at home, but needed to build her confidence to jump in the water and now she does with ease!

09 Jul 2021
Our first time here. Took two of our biggest beasties to swim and see how they would take to dock diving. Lexie the Lab did great! Bailey the Doodle needs more confidence so we will be getting training from Joel next time. It was pouring down rain when we got there but went on in for the fun! I brought their favorite toys! We played fetch for almost an hour. They will sleep sound tonight! Thank you Joel for creating an place to swim with our furz. We will be going back with the little ones next go round!

This place is a hidden gem and Joel is a fantastic host! The hour experience was better than what I expected. He coaxed our anxious lab/pit mix to get all four in the water in a mere 30 minutes and allowed us some privacy to enjoy the remaining hour of swim time. Joel’s calm manner, gentleness with training, and willing to try various things to win the pup over was very appreciated. The restroom/changing room off to the left is well maintained, air conditioned. The pool is saltwater, area around the pool is safe but of course, wet. We will definitely bring Franco and Post again very soon!

Great experience. My pup and I are first timers! She was extremely afraid of the water! In 1 hour, Mr. Joel had her more confident and closer to jumping right in! We will definitely return! Thank you for your knowledge and patience! We both appreciated it so much!! ������

this place is great!! Joel was extremely helpful & I cant wait to go back!! My pup, Scamp, was distracted a bit by the goats he has but Joel allowed Scamp to go to the fence and check them out! He even put them in his barn deal so we could contour our lesson, super nice of him. Defiantly recommend going!
