Amazing announcement

Finally coming around the corner will be two indoor heated pools for your dock diving fun. We will be open 7 days a week from 11 am - 9 pm with two pools to ensure every enthusiast has an opportunity to get some pool time. Missed appointments, we will be reaching out to everyone that has had canceled appointments, all of these will take priority bookings. We will do our best to ensure that any appointments that have been canceled and not refunded will get rescheduled at a time that suits each of you.

While we don't have an exact opening date yet we wanted to ensure that you mark your calendars for some events we will have coming up for this season.


We are very excited to announce an amazing partnership with K9 Pool School.

Mary Young would like to formally welcome Lorraine Jurovich. Lorraine and Mary started training together in 1992 where they both shared a passion for dog training and canine sports. It was evident right from the start that we would be lifelong friends. Lorraine became passionate about dock diving in 2019 where her Australian Kelpie, Whim, found a true love for the sport and Lorraine's assistance to help run events was a blessing.

Her passion was evident from the start and she continued to thrive in helping guide new people into the sport, together we traveled to Oregon many times for competitions, as well as attending the Canadian Regionals in 2020. Lorraine spent countless hours at the pool learning, assisting, and coaching, enjoying every minute of it

I am very excited to have a partner that is as passionate about this sport as I am. I know it goes without saying that we are both very excited to see everyone again and welcome all the new faces and new dogs.

This has been a long tough journey and while we aren't quite at the finish line yet, it is finally in sight.

Mary was awesome with both of my dogs and took the training very slow to let them build their confidence, it was so much fun!

What are Diving Dogs?

Diving dogs is a canine sport in which dogs are enticed to run the length of a dock and leap as far out into the water as possible to compete for height or distance. They’re motivated to fly with a prized toy, which is thrown just out of reach in order to help them keep their momentum and get the best launch angle possible.

Dock Diving is one of the fastest-growing sports for your dog.

Diving Dogs titles are recognized by the Canadian & American Kennel Club (CKC/AKC) through the CKC/AKC’s Title Recognition Program. Your dog DOES NOT have to be a CKC/AKC registered dog to participate in the Diving Dogs trial. Dogs without a CKC/AKC Pedigree may join the CKC/AKC’s Canine Partners program for CKC/AKC Titling recognition.

If you are new to the sport, most of the dock diving facilities have training programs for you and your dog to learn about dock diving. Diving Dogs is open for all breeds and mixes.
