Dog Splash

Dog Splash offers private, appointment-based swim sessions tailored to each dog’s experience level. Beginners start with a 1st Timer session or an instructor-guided swim in the smaller Topper pool. Advanced dogs use the larger Folti pool for dock diving, water agility, or air retrieve training. Puppy swim packages provide structured, gradual exposure to water. Sessions are 30 or 45 minutes, with options for half-day or full-day access. All sessions are one-on-one unless additional dogs are added for a fee. Instructors provide hands-on guidance to build confidence, improve mobility, and reduce anxiety through water-based activities.

Dog Splash is a private facility in Huntsville, AL, offering indoor, heated dog swimming, dock diving, water agility, and instructor-led swim sessions. They provide one-on-one, private pool time for dogs of all ages and energy levels, including puppies, seniors, anxious dogs, and those with arthritis. Their two custom heated pools — the Folti pool (45’x22’x4′) for dock diving and water agility, and the Topper pool (22’x10’x3′) for beginners — are reserved exclusively for each booking, ensuring a safe, distraction-free environment. First-time swimmers can book a 1st Timer session or a Swim with Instructor to build confidence, and puppy swim packages offer three 30-minute lessons. Instructors like Caleb and Summer Marks guide dogs through water-based activities with patience and positive reinforcement. The facility provides all necessary equipment including life vests, toys, towels, dryers, and changing cabanas. They also offer monthly memberships, half-day and full-day swim packages, and pool parties for up to 10 dogs.

While primarily a swimming facility, Dog Splash integrates training elements through structured swim sessions with certified instructors, making it a unique hybrid of physical therapy, confidence-building, and behavior modification through water-based activities. They emphasize safety, vaccination compliance, and individualized attention, helping dogs overcome fear of water and improve mobility and mental well-being.
