This was our very first time trying anything like this and we had a great time! Rachel and her co-instructor are very responsive, punctual, gentle, and sweet. My Silver Lab, Sage, would NOT get into the water, as it was his first time and suffers from anxiety but these girls were patient and gentle with getting Sage in and guiding him while in the pool. He never even tried to get out and run away! We had a great first experience and are hoping for many more. We've also discussed bringing in my senior Bichon Frise for Hydrotherapy as well. They even managed to grab a GREAT photo of Sage, when he got out of the pool! Would definitely recommend to others!

Rachel is AMAZING, kind, patient, professional, knowledgeable, and persistent. Everything I wanted and more for my dog's first swimming class. I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking into swim lessons for your dog. I can guarantee you that you will not find someone better than her.

I am SO glad I found Dip’n’Dogs!! My sweet dog, Ted, was struggling with his weight, and he didn’t have any interest in long walks or running (it’s hot outside, who can blame him!). I found Dip’n’Dogs and figured swimming lessons would work great for him! Rachel is such a delight, and she was so gentle and careful with Ted. She gets down in the pool with your dog, and holds onto them until they are ready to swim alone. She also made sure to give Ted rests throughout his lessons! Each session was so relaxing, even for me! We had a few sessions with her, and I just know Ted got a great workout in! We’d come home and he’d go RIGHT to sleep hahaha
Also, it should be noted that Ted went from being 15lbs to 10lbs, and I just know Rachel and Dip’n’Dogs played a big role in that!

I can't begin to explain how happy and appreciative I am to have Rachel as a partner in the well being and happiness of my dogs. She is absolutely the best and always makes us feel welcome. My dogs are my life and I trust Rachel every step of the way.
