Doggieland Play Park Aquatics — Attraction in Madison

Amazing staff and great facilities!

My dog has been with me for just over a year, he was with my Mom for about six years before that and hadn’t ever been swimming in those 7-8 years of his life. (He was around two years old when she got him from the Humane Society - so maybe he had been in water 8 years ago.)

He was hesistant to get into the water, and I was ready to let him dislike the idea and leave. But… his instructor was kind and patient and got my buddy swimming within minutes and showed us all that my buddy can swim and loves it!

After we passed our “evaluation” to show that he can swim safely, which took maybe five minutes with staff coaxing Tucker into the water… we got to have “free swim” with just me and my dog alone with the entire pool and can have “free swim” anytime we want in the future!

My only regret is that I paid for a one time pass, when it’s more economical to buy the multi-passes, but I wasn’t sure if we’d want to go more than once. Now I know that...

Finally, a place in the Madison area where dogs can swim year-round! Whether it’s for therapy, learning new skills -- dock diving, or just burning off energy, this Olympic-sized indoor pool is perfect! The owner/trainer is super attentive and makes sure every dog is comfortable and safe, taking time to help them get familiar with the pool’s entry and exit while evaluating their swimming skills. You can tell they really care about each pup’s experience. ❤️ After waiting so long for something like this, we now have a clean, warm spot to escape the cold, avoid muddy lakes, and let our pups have fun and build confidence indoors. All about happy, tired pups! Go check...

I'm so happy that Madison has a local dog pool! The swim lessons were fantastic, and the owner was incredibly patient with my dog. While my dog loves the water, he was a bit unsure about the pool at first. It was such a positive experience for him, and I’m looking forward to...
