Dog Splash Days 2011

This incredibly popular event returns for its 5th year to the Central Coast. We all know that dogs love to swim so we have again reserved the Templeton Community pool to give our pooches a chance to hit the water and have some fun. We’ll have beach balls, retrieval toys, and experienced dog handlers in the water to make this a truly memorable event.

Dogs only are allowed in the pool. Dog handlers and trainers will be in the water to ensure the safety of dogs. Dog life vests and ramps will be available. Dogs with reservations will be admitted before walk-ins.

This year has a revised and expanded schedule:
