About Four Star Dogs

Overview

Four Star (presented as Four Star Wellness / Four Star Dogs) is a canine wellness business in Valparaiso, Indiana, owned by Miranda Saldana. Its primary service is canine swimming in an indoor salt-water pool heated to 92 degrees year-round for muscle relaxation; swims are by appointment, with or without a swim instructor in the pool, and the dog is the only one in the pool room during a scheduled session.

Services

Alongside swimming, the site lists dog training classes: puppy classes focused on socialization and basics; an obedience class for adolescent dogs covering commands such as sit, down, off, greeting guests, recall, leave-it, and loose-lead walking; and a therapy-dog preparation class. Each meets for five consecutive weekly one-hour sessions. The business also offers "DOGA" dog-yoga sessions on Wednesday nights (45 minutes) and private consultations customized to an individual dog, addressing house manners and common commands. Additional listed areas include animal-assisted therapy and adoptable dogs.

What to Expect

The business is wellness-primary, centered on its heated swim pool, while also offering group and private training. Pool sessions provide toys, life vests, towels, and added drying time; training classes run on multi-week schedules, and private consultations begin with a needs assessment before scheduling.
