Welcome to Northequest

Laura’s passion for animals and competition began at age 9 as an equestrian, leading her to successfully own, train, coach, and manage the full-service competitive hunter/jumper facility, Northequest Equestrian, in Uxbridge for 21 years. Her love of dogs—especially Labrador Retrievers—led her to her first Lab, {Chai}, who adored water, and eventually to the exciting world of CKC/AKC Dock Diving. Laura is dedicated to creating a fun, safe, and educational environment for both dogs and their handlers, combining her experience in high-level competition with a love of animals in a beautiful, functional setting.

Coming from a nursing and hospital administration background Lisa has been a constant ‘sunny face’ in our admin building since the very beginning of our Dock Diving journey in 2017.  From client registration and poolside support for any and all events to being a competitive Dock Diving handler with her many labradors. Lisa and her whole family have been integral to the continued growth of Northequest Canine-the dog pool. Lisa has been an active competitor in NADD DOCK DIVING FOR 9 years with many accolades and titles over the years. You can always find her in our ‘pool house office’ making sure that clients have the best poolside experience. Don’t forget to pop in and say hi to Lisa and Ruebbix!

 As a proud Corgi and Chihuahua dog owner and an active equestrian Dorothy joined our DOG POOL team as our official photographer at the very begin of this journey in 2017. 

Dorothy has the unique and qualified ability to take the ‘magic of the moment’ and capture it in one snap of her high powered camera. Anyone would be hard-pressed to rival her love of commemorating the essence of a dog and their handler on the dock and it shows in her photos. Dorothy in addition to her photography at the dock, loves to do pet portraits and on occasion compete herself! Check out her website!

 Coming from a lifelong love of dogs, Taylor is in her second year working with the Northequest Canine team, in her second year as a NADD judge and third year competing. Taylor is actively involved in a variety of dog sports and brings both experience and enthusiasm to the poolside. When not judging, Taylor can be found behind the scenes helping set up each event to ensure everything runs smoothly. With a background in graphic design, Taylor has also enjoyed bringing creativity to the website and marketing behind the scenes. When not at events or supporting clients, Taylor can usually be found poolside with her chocolate lab, Euro and Athena, her four-legged assistant who helps with registration in the pool house. Athena is always on duty to help make every pool visit a great one—don’t forget to say hi!
