FirstBarkWe love coming here. I never would have expected that 25 mins of swimming would wear my puppers out but it does. After this cold streak of weather we’re having, it was nice to be able to get our dog out of the house and get some exercise. I need to be better about getting my puppers out there for swimming and barn hunting. He loves both.

We feel incredibly fortunate to have found Sara for our dogs' swim classes. Her loving, encouraging, and supportive teaching style worked wonders with our sensitive dogs, helping them build trust and confidence in the water. She has a genuine passion for working with dogs that shines through in every lesson. Yesterday, we celebrated a huge milestone when our dog Domi learned how to swim! Sara's patient approach and expertise made this achievement possible. If you're looking for a skilled and caring dog swim instructor, I couldn't recommend her more highly.
My dogs had so much fun! The staff was very supportive of my dogs and offered helpful tips since we’re new at dock diving. I just wish it more affordable so we could visit often!
I can’t say enough about our experience with For the Love of Dogs. Our most recent private lesson with Kristin was fabulous and so very worthwhile.
Very welcoming place for dogs. We will be coming back.
