| Re: when is the right age for a pup to go swimming??
Julius was in the water at 9 weeks of age. Our friends own a boarding kennel with an indoor pool for the dogs. It was a great way to introduce him to something new & he loved it. We did keep at 12 ft. leash on him for control. I didn't want him to swimming out into the deeper area & then having some problems.
He now loves the water & we make it an almost daily occurance to go swimming in the summer. It's a wonderful no-impact exercise! :)
