Questions

Good to know

Nope! Your dog doesn’t have to know what dock diving is to come swim. If they like the water, that’s good enough for us — and if they don’t, we’ll teach them. Nervous swimmers and puppies start with a swim lesson; confident swimmers can move on to coached dock diving.

Everything is by appointment. Pick a service, date and time on our online booking calendar, or call or text Audra at (417) 840-9023. Every request goes straight to Audra’s phone and she confirms by text.

Our pool is outdoors, so swimming and dock diving are seasonal and weather-dependent. Audra closes the pool for the colder months and reopens when it warms up. Dog training is available year-round.

Bring your dog’s favorite floating toy, a leash and a towel (or two — you will get splashed). Audra will let you know anything else when she confirms your appointment.
