The short version

Great water dogs start with great foundations

Leaping Legends is located at Audra’s home, which is also the home of Absolute Dog Training, her obedience and behavioral modification business. The same skills that make a confident dock diver — focus, trust and clear communication — make a better companion at home.

Audra has trained for AKC obedience competition since 2013 under a mentor who graduated from and taught at Triple Crown Academy (now Starmark Academy). She has attended many seminars on training methods and worked alongside a long list of trainers.

We’ve started to interview our customers. “Ma’am, we heard you regularly use Leaping Legends Dock Diving Pool. How would you review this location?” That’s a ten out of ten if you ask me.

We’re at 907 E 477th Road in Bolivar, Missouri 65613 — just north of Springfield, about 39 minutes up MO-13. Dogs and their people visit from all over Missouri, including Kansas City, Joplin, Branson, the Lake of the Ozarks, Columbia and St. Louis.
