Hey Facebook fans after filling the pool on Tuesday Binx couldn't wait any longer and had to try it out on Wednesday. Our water isn't clear but more of a cloudy color and the pool is full (especially since it rained), but we have decided to open. Just like the water isn't perfect the ground aren't perfect we still have some mowing/weeding to do, but the dogs don't care (Binx certainly didn't notice). We will be open Saturday 6/6, Closed Sunday 6/7, Open Monday - Friday 6/12 and closed 6/13-6/20. Please text 319-560-1673. To reserve your time. We do have a slight price increase this year to help off set the rising costs but we will have some fun "cheaper days" planned too. 30 minutes is $30 and 60 minutes is $50. Most dogs 30 minutes is more than enough time.

Oh Me, Oh My, Where did May go? I fully planned to be open before the end of May but 2026 is teaching me plans are only an idea. Here are some pictures of our progress. The robots and I have been working hard since school got out and should hopefully be open before the end of the week. We may not be perfect as we are balancing time between the pool itself and the grounds, but we should be safe and ready. Watch for the official update as we are also trying to figure out where we are losing water from.

Success Saturday: Try something new!

This one is for Binx and I ---

Yesterday we went to Lucky Dog Acres LLC to try out a new bumper, practice and introduce hydrodash and air retrieve. Two new games in one night definitely hurt his brain but as long as Sarah had the bumper he was okay with it magically reappearing at the end of the pool or above it. Go out try something new and share it with us!

Success Saturday! One of the greatest joys I never realized as a trainer is the joy I get from my students' successes. I've decided to start success Saturday. Where I will showcase a success story from a student. You are welcome to share your success for the week on the post or send them to us to be featured on an upcoming Saturday. These success can be anything from getting a dog to down for the first time to earning titles.

First Up Kim and Barkley. Back in February they passed three ORTs (odor recognition tests) birch, anise, and clove. Congratulations
