Buddy would like to say a HUGE thank you to everyone who contacted us with messages of support, offers of new sites and advice on our planning plight.
Our battle has appeared in the East Anglian Daily Times, Bury Free Press, Radio West Suffolk and on Tuesday, we are doing a live Interview on GenX Radio.
We now have a number of potential new homes if the council don't change their mind so the panic is over for now.
Thank you from me, Jo and Buddy. You guys are amazing 🥰🐾💦

Our Dip and Dive Story

Canine Dip and Dive is our 32ft, outdoor dog swimming pool, set in the beautiful Suffolk countryside. We are Andy and Jo Brownlie and we wanted to create something especially for dogs and their owners in a safe environment where the main focus was to have FUN!! From Puppy Classes to Senior Moments, Group Classes to Solo Sessions, there is something for all.

We moved to Suffolk a number of years ago to escape the rat race of London for the slower pace of country life. Andy and Buddy, our spaniel and face of Canine Dip and Dive, had previously entered a TV game show called Superstar dogs. They made the semi finals and had great fun with the host John Barrowman. One event included dogs jumping in a pool to retrieve a ball or toy in the quickest time and from this, Andy ended up working as a trainer for dogs, travelling the country at Country shows and dog events such as All About Dogs Shows and DogFest, teaching dogs to dock dive and swim. In doing this he noticed that dogs were regularly nervous of the water and wanted to set up a pool where he could nurture and help dogs to realise that water is fun, plus allowing owners to swim with their dogs.

We decided to set up a pool in the open air to see what response they would get and it has been a rollercoaster ride since! What was expected to be a weekend bit of fun, turned into the business it is today.

We’re now very excited to be venturing into franchising so that more of your furbabies can enjoy the fun of the pool, so watch this space for a Canine Dip and Dive pool opening near you!!
