A better experience for dogs who need more than a walk

After a couple visits, my dog actually started pulling toward the door when we arrived. She used to be nervous around water, and now she can't wait to get in.

He comes home completely tired out and sleeps like a rock. It's the best exercise he gets all week, and I can see how much stronger he's gotten.

Old Town

The staff was patient and capable from the start. They didn't rush him, and they kept me updated the whole time. I felt like my dog was in good hands.
