What to Expect at Your Dog's Session -
Some dogs will jump right in to the water and other dogs take a while to get used to it. They may be scared, so we'll need to be patient. Your dog is in an unfamiliar place with new people, and not sure what is expected of him. As your dog becomes more familiar with the pool, me, the surroundings and understands the focus is on him, he will relax and enjoy the swim session.
How to Prepare Your Dog for their Session -
Sometimes dogs are insecure in a new body of water and panic, splashing with their front paws and causing their back legs and hips to drop down in the water. A life jacket helps to keep your dog’s back and hips in good alignment, and teaches them how to swim correctly. If your dog has had surgery or an injury, the life jacket will also give them more confidence in the water.
