I decided to take Buddy to check out Tonopaws today and he had a blast. We learned a lot in our first session with Dwayne. Clean and professional facility. We will be back again.

My dog and I were looking for a new hobby to pick up and decided on Dock Diving. While researching on Google for a place to allow us to practice, we stumbled upon Tonopaws. This facility is very clean and very well maintained. Our first lesson was led by Dwayne and he was very knowledgeable about dock diving. We decided on taking another lesson and I could definitely see an improvement on how well my dog was swimming/leaping after her water toy. I would highly recommend this facility to learn this sport with your dog! Definitely take a lesson or two with Dwayne as well!

My two dogs come to Tonopaws to practice and compete in the sport of Dock Diving. Dwayne is an amazing Trainer to get your dog swimming and having fun. He is an intricate part of their success on the Dock. Spritz has 11 NADD Titles and Lola our young Lab has 5 NADD Titles. Both train at Tonopaws. Dwayne was a huge help in getting Lola trained for Hydrodash( a timed swim event) In her first Hydrodash competition she came in 2nd in her division. Not bad for a 15 month old Lab. Tonopaws is a first class facility for beginner and competitive dogs that love the water and want to just swim or practice for a competition. I highly recommend them.
We found Tonopaws through Sniffspot and I’m so glad we did. This facility was amazing, clean and a blast for our pup (and us).

We found Tonopaws through Sniffspot and I’m so glad we did. This facility was amazing, clean and a blast for our pup (and us). Dwayne was so helpful and you can tell he is passionate about dogs and diving. He was patient with us and our dog (who can be a handful) and answered all of our questions. Tobias was in the water swimming in no time. We can’t wait to go back and start working toward off the dock jumps. I definitely recommend Tonopaws to anyone that has a pup that has energy to burn and loves the water.
Dwayne is awesome- very welcoming & down to earth. Our dog absolutely loved the pool area, we can’t wait to go back!
