Splash Dog is a facility specializing in canine hydrotherapy and wellness, offering warm water swimming and water treadmill sessions to improve dogs’ health, mobility, and fitness. While not a traditional dog training business, they provide therapeutic exercise services that support behavior modification, rehabilitation, and physical conditioning—often complementary to training goals. Their services are ideal for dogs recovering from surgery, managing arthritis, overcoming obesity, or needing low-impact exercise. All sessions are conducted by trained assistants in a controlled, safe environment with life vests, heated pools (88–92°F), and a water treadmill. They encourage owner presence during sessions to build confidence and reinforce positive associations. Additional services include basic baths, nail trimming, ear cleaning, and special medicated or skunk odor baths. They serve dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors, and welcome all breeds, including reactive, anxious, or shelter dogs. Their staff is noted for compassion, patience, and professionalism.

Although they do not offer obedience training, behavior modification classes, or formal instruction in commands, their hydrotherapy program supports dogs with reactivity, fearfulness, mobility issues, and post-injury recovery—conditions often addressed in conjunction with professional training. They require veterinary consent before starting therapy and enforce strict safety policies, including leashed arrivals, no feeding two hours before sessions, and vaccination requirements.
