Swimming & Dock Diving Seminars
We offer a variety of themed seminars each month, on an array of topics. Group seminars are great for learning - for both the human and the dogs. One dog is in the pool area at a time, while the others have a chance to rest and process the information they just acquired. The human learners get to observe other teams and cheer them on during their turns.
Seminars are ideal for dogs that are:
comfortable being crated quietly in our lobby between turns, or benched out of a vehicle
confident trying new things while there are other humans in the room
Seminars are open to members and non-members.
