Here Are Some Frequently Asked Questions

• Q. Where is your outdoor dog pool located? 
  
  A. Our outdoor dog pool is located in Flamborough, Ontario, just minutes from Waterdown. We serve dog owners across Halton, Hamilton, Burlington, Guelph, Oakville, Brantford, Guelph, Kitchener etc.
• Q. Can I rent the dog pool for private use?
  
  A. Yes! Your rental is private so your dog can swim, play, or practice dock diving in a safe, clean outdoor space. Perfect for solo swims or social swim time with friends. Bring up to 3 of your dogs for your rental time!
• Q. Is the pool suitable for puppies and senior dogs?
  
  A. Yes, pool sessions work well at both ends of the age spectrum. Young pups get early water exposure in a low-pressure setting, while seniors often move more freely in the water than they have in years, the buoyancy doing the work their joints can't anymore. The one thing worth considering is the entry and exit steps, so if mobility is a question mark for your dog, just reach out before you book.
• Q. Is an evaluation or assessment needed before renting?
  
  A. Just up-to-date vaccination records. No assessment, no hoops to jump through. That said, if you're not sure whether your dog is ready to take the plunge, a private lesson beforehand is always an option.
• Q. Do you offer swimming lessons for dogs?
  
  A. Absolutely! Our experienced instructors will help build your dog's confidence in the water and teach essential swim skills. We welcome dogs of all experience levels.
• Q. What is dock diving and can my dog try it?
  
  A. Dock diving is an exciting sport where dogs jump from a dock into the pool. We offer beginner-friendly dock diving lessons to introduce your dog to the sport in a safe, supportive environment.
• Q. What should I bring to my dog’s swim session?
  
  A. Bring a towel, your dog’s favourite toy, and couple different kinds of your dog's favourite treats. People are allowed to go in the pool as well, so bring your swim suit. We provide life jackets and ensure a clean, secure environment for your dog to enjoy the water.
• Q. Is your dog pool open to non-students or visitors?
