Dock diving near Springfield

Springfield dog owners are our closest big-city neighbors. Instead of fighting crowded dog parks or lakes with blue-green algae warnings, you get a clean, private pool, a turf-covered dock and a trainer who knows dogs.

Why Springfield dogs make the trip

Plenty of Springfield families book an after-work swim and are home before dark. It’s also a great way to tire out high-drive working breeds that live in town.

Everything at Leaping Legends is by appointment, so when you arrive from Springfield, MO, the dock and pool are ready for your dog. Owner and trainer Audra Sharpf coaches every lesson, and every booking request goes straight to her phone at (417) 840-9023.

Questions

Good to know

Nope! Your dog doesn’t have to know what dock diving is to come swim. If they like the water, that’s good enough for us — and if they don’t, we’ll teach them. Nervous swimmers and puppies start with a swim lesson; confident swimmers can move on to coached dock diving.

Everything is by appointment. Pick a service, date and time on our online booking calendar, or call or text Audra at (417) 840-9023. Every request goes straight to Audra’s phone and she confirms by text.

Our pool is outdoors, so swimming and dock diving are seasonal and weather-dependent. Audra closes the pool for the colder months and reopens when it warms up. Dog training is available year-round.

Bring your dog’s favorite floating toy, a leash and a towel (or two — you will get splashed). Audra will let you know anything else when she confirms your appointment.
