Bosun11 537 Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 A bit of swimming now and then is fantastic for everyone, man & beast. It's great for both fitness & re-hab. If you have the chance of a pool then snatch it up, I would! More so in the summer months though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LolaPat 49 Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 My terrier loves to swim, if there's water about she's in there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Attack Fell Terrier 864 Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 I suppose it all depends on how often someone works there dog(s) and for how long each night? If someone takes there dog out for an hour once a week then there's plenty of room for things like swimming and other fitness regimes. But if someone has got their dog out for hours on end, 3 times a week or more, then the dog could probably do with the days it has off resting. I'm no expert on dog fitness but just a thought like?
