Therapeutic Swim Pool

We have found a wonderful location to take the dogs for swim practice . . . . . CWC in Toronto. Tara is awesome . . .so friendly & helpful. The water is warm & the dogs always smell sooooo good afterwards. Their coats are oh so soft as well! The dogs love going here - helps to keep them in shape for DockDogs season! The first time the kids went in the pool (these pics), they had to wear life-jackets - for safety sake - in case they had trouble swimming {not likely :) } and it also gives Tara a means to hold onto them & keep control.
Here is Lenny his first time at the pool. First he gets on the treadmill to be lowered into the water:








Now, it's Chic's turrn:



This is soooo much fun! We have been a few times now - we usually go about every 3 weeks. It is a wonderful place . . . .this is actually a therapeutic pool for dogs to do re-hab from injury or surgery.

Holy crow! This place looks amazing! I sure wish we had a therapy pool up here! Sometimes dogs get injuries when running (like any athlete) & haveing access to something like this place would be a real bonus!

Some mushers train in the water...I recall hearing about training pools, but they'd be in Alaska...the mushing meca of the world! There is SO much money in the Alaska mushing community...we are the MUCH poorer Yukon mushing cousins
