Andy and Jo 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, their spaniel and face of Canine Dip and Dive, had previously entered a TV game show called Superstar dogs, for dogs and their owners. 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. In 2017 Jo and Andy 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.
