Ramp and Dock System

Dock

Our dock was designed after visiting facilities all over the country. There is one entry ramp that is a gradual incline. One dog on the system at a time. Dogs exit to the opposite side and is visable to the incoming handler so there is no delay in bringing in the next team.

State of the Art cushioned athletic turf

Our dock is 9' x 40' sitting 2 ft above the water surface. It is covered in Professional Quality athletic turf that is not slippery when wet. The dock is securely fence to 4 feet with partitions extending over the pool to prevent dogs from jumping toward the ramp. Our ramp is a solid , textured aluminum with a gradual incline ,safe for people and older dogs and puppies but enjoyed by all. The ramp has a stainless steel safety hand rail for additional safety.

Cleanliness

We run 2 oversized pumps with cartridge filters to maintain great filtration of our 26,000 gallons. Our pool is vacuumed 2/3 times weekly. As an extra layer of safety we have installer a UV sanitizer to make extra sure that our water is a clean as it can be. We use UNIQUE* a non chemical, bio activated spray to clean up any accidents that occur on the turf and dock. Our property is treated with a non-toxic outdoor insect Control PCO CHOICE that is composed of Cedar oil manufactured by Cedarcide.com
