We are dog people dedicated to offering canines swim sessions for pleasure, canine hydrotherapy and dock diving!
Canine Hydrotherapy is offered in our pool or in our new Hydrotherapy Water Treadmill!
Within our retail section we offer enrichment toys/products as well as natural treats!
Laurie opened the doors to The Doggie Paddle in 2020, seeking to provide needed services to the canines of Northern-Illinois and Southern-Wisconsin.
Her experience in Animal Massage/Bodywork and Canine Water Therapy allows her to target the needs of your pet and help them live their most fulfilling life.
She is both the owner and primary operator of The Doggie Paddle, with additional staff members trained to help navigate all your pet's water therapy needs.
We look forward to meeting your dog soon!
Assisted Swim
Assisted swim sessions are for ONE dog.
These swims are for dogs that need to learn to swim or are swimming for therapeutic reasons.
Unassisted Swim
Your dog must be able to get in and out of the pool without assistance.
You may stand on the deck and throw toys to engage with your dog while they are swimming.
An additional dog may be permitted. We reserve the right to determine if this is appropriate based on the needs of all dogs. Additional fees apply.
Dock Diving Lessons
We have a 20-foot dock diving ramp for our
13' x 25' pool.
This is for practice, exercise or for fun!
If your dog is already dock diving and in the elite or master category you would need to shorten the run.
Please mention if you wish to dock dive upon making an appointment.
Hydrotherapy Treadmill
Hydrotherapy treadmill is great for post-surgery, weight loss, cardio health, muscle strengthening and improved range of motion.
The treadmills allows for resistance, buoyancy and reduced stress on joints.
No one is allowed in the pool to swim with their dog.
Services include access to the use of our life jackets during appointment time.
You have an additional 10 minutes to dry off after swimming. Please bring your own towels.
DISCOUNTED SWIMMING PACKAGES

It is our priority to maintain a safe and healthy environment to continue services we provide for your family. This decision was not made lightly and is a result of the cost to keep our facility operational.
