We found Tonopaws through Sniffspot and I’m so glad we did. This facility was amazing, clean and a blast for our pup (and us). Dwayne was so helpful and you can tell he is passionate about dogs and diving. He was patient with us and our dog (who can be a handful) and answered all of our questions. Tobias was in the water swimming in no time. We can’t wait to go back and start working toward off the dock jumps. I definitely recommend Tonopaws to anyone that has a pup that has energy to burn and loves the water.

Tonopaws is a premier Dog Dock Diving Facility!! Dwayne Garrett is extremely helpful and the pool and grounds are immaculate! It’s a pleasure to take the pups there and they absolutely LOVE it. If you want to get your pups into a healthy crazy fun activity, you have to try this! So much fun! Dogs any size and any ability can’t help but be successful here! Excellent training and helpful suggestions always!

Me and my dog had so much fun with our assisted swim and dock diving lessons! First lesson we worked on getting my dog used to the water, second lesson we got her leaping off the dock!!! Dwayne provided so many good tips and guidance for the both of us! Scheduling was easy and if I had questions they had a great response time and helped me adjust my lesson to what I needed. We are learning so much and super excited for our next lessons, we love Tonopaws!

Tonopaws has been a fantastic experience for me and my dog! My dog loves the water but was a terrible swimmer, but we were able to get him in shape with some assisted swims. We became really interested in Dock Diving as well, and Dwayne was so helpful with getting my dog to jump off the dock. Dwayne is super nice and is always willing to help! Tonopaws has become something I look forward to every week!

We had our first dock diving lesson with Dwayne a few days ago and it was such an amazing experience! I hesitated starting dock diving since the world of dog sports can be intimidating but I really can’t wait to be back soon. Phoebe (my dog) wasted zero time jumping into the water and I truly appreciate Dwayne for his encouragement and making it not only an informative but a super fun lesson for both of us! 🙌

Esmé finished her Dock Master Excellent title today with 17’5” and 17’7” jumps. It was a beautiful day and Tonopaws is a wonderful facility. They even presented our beautiful ribbon to us on the dock. I highly recommend this facility if you want to take a trip out west. Thank you Tonopaws for your wonderful hospitality.

Tonopaws is our happy place! We love coming for practices with Dwayne and competitions alike. The pool and grounds are clean and staff is always welcoming. My dogs are obsessed with the pool and always have a blast! I can’t say enough good things about Tonopaws. We will continue going to Tonopaws for many years to come.

My two dogs come to Tonopaws to practice and compete in the sport of Dock Diving. Dwayne is an amazing Trainer to get your dog swimming and having fun. He is an intricate part of their success on the Dock. Spritz has 11 NADD Titles and Lola our young Lab has 5 NADD Titles. Both train at Tonopaws. Dwayne was a huge help in getting Lola trained for Hydrodash( a timed swim event) In her first Hydrodash competition she came in 2nd in her division. Not bad for a 15 month old Lab. Tonopaws is a first class facility for beginner and competitive dogs that love the water and want to just swim or practice for a competition. I highly recommend them.

We love this place. We have been coming for years. We take all 3 dogs, 2 of ours just swim and play and the 3rd dock dives. The pool is always super clean and the people who organize the events are great! Can only recommend!

My dog and I were looking for a new hobby to pick up and decided on Dock Diving. While researching on Google for a place to allow us to practice, we stumbled upon Tonopaws. This facility is very clean and very well maintained. Our first lesson was led by Dwayne and he was very knowledgeable about dock diving. We decided on taking another lesson and I could definitely see an improvement on how well my dog was swimming/leaping after her water toy. I would highly recommend this facility to learn this sport with your dog! Definitely take a lesson or two with Dwayne as well!

Just finished with my first ever dock diving lesson with my one year old Labrador. We did the assisted swim and coach Allana was absolutely amazing! She answered all my questions and gave great tips that allow both myself and my dog to go farther in the sport. The facility was also extremely clean, organized, and overall our experience was great. Most importantly, my dog had a blast jumping and I can’t wait to book our next swim. He slept the whole ride home (:

My second time out here. The first time was for a diving event. A LOT of FUN. Now we are using the location to train our pups with private lessons on diving. Dwayne is a great guy. Can definitely be trusted and knows his stuff. Puts a smile on people's faces.

We took our 9 mo old lab to Tonopaws for his first swim lesson. Dwayne was so patient with him and the facility is clean and great for exercising the pups. We will definitely be back as the weather heats up.

Amazing facility! Dwayne is so knowledgeable and professional! He has been fantastic to work with as we teach our Malinois how to retrieve his toy from the pool and now going off the dock. The facility is the best, and Dwayne continues to make improvements to add to this!

My little Border Collie Hawks and I love Tonopaws, owners Allana and Dwayne are very helpful, kind, and easygoing! They treat client dogs with the same compassion and love as their own dogs. Allana is an amazing coach for Hawks and I with lots of knowledge on the sport, we've made tremendous progress since coming to this facility. Not to mention others who also go to train at Tonopaws - everyone is very supportive of one another, like a big family. The BEST dock diving facility in Arizona and I look forward to many more years of training and competing at Tonopaws!!

A heartfelt rave review for Tonopaws!!Stepping outside of one’s comfort zone can be difficult and challenging at times; include your doggo in the mix and it can seem downright intimidating.That was definitely not the case today for our doggo’s Day 1 of Dock Diving.From the moment we got there we were invited in and welcomed. Dwayne and Eric knew it was our doggo’s first time participating and they shared a wealth of knowledge and experience with us to make his first jump a positive one.Other Tonopaws Team members encouraged us as well and while practicing they gave tips and techniques of the trade.If you are thinking of engaging in this amazing activity with your doggo, Look no further!Tonopaws is the place to go!Reach out to them and ask questions. Their guidance and passion for this sport is positive and contagious!Thank You To The Tonopaws Team!Let’s see what Day 2 brings!Sincerely,Laurie, Juli, and Neko

Awesome! Everyone needs to take their dog here, excellent affordable training and tons of fun!! My dog loves water but refused to swim and would never leave the shoreline. Allana had her swimming and jumping off the dock several times on the first lesson, I couldn't believe how comfortable and happy my pup was. She didn't want to leave when it was time to go! We'll definitely be back for more, this place is worth the drive.

What an amazing facility. Lots of space and amenities. Very helpful owner and fellow competitors. I am very glad we finally traveled from Montana to see for ourselves just how great this facility is.

Recently saw TonoPaws on a news story. It looked like a fun place for our year old red heeler and it didn't disappoint! Allana was great, very informative and so good with our pup. The grounds are clean as well as the giant pool. Great facility if you're looking for a place to exercise your dog or learn the fun sport of dock diving. We will be back!!

Tonopaws runs excellent NADD competition events. They also provide individual pool/dock training sessions. Duane is a great instructor and had our dog completing his first successful hydrodash within the first few minutes of our training session.

I’m so happy to have found this place. One of my dogs was terrified of water after she had a bad experience at the beach. I would’ve never thought that she’d go back in, definitely not have fun. Allana got her to go in and swim during our first lesson and by lesson three she was loving it. We go once a week now to build more confidence and she’s having the time of her life! Finally, she can swim together with her sister!
