Axal’s Hydrotherapy Introduction 🐾💦
Although Axal is only 17 weeks old and doesn’t currently have any issues that need addressing, I always like to introduce my dogs to hydrotherapy early on.
If they ever develop joint or mobility issues later in life, they’re already familiar with the environment, equipment, and process, making it much less stressful for them.
It certainly doesn’t do any harm while they’re growing either. Swimming is a fantastic form of low-impact exercise and has so many benefits, including building confidence, body awareness, fitness, and muscle strength without putting excessive strain on developing joints.
As you can see, Axal wasn’t phased in the slightest. He took it all in his stride and turned out to be a very confident little swimmer. Of course, he also had Radar there to supervise and make sure everything was being done properly 😆
A huge thank you to Leeann, who made the whole experience fun and positive for him.
The only part Axal wasn’t too sure about was the blaster at the end for drying him off… so I guess we know what we’ll be adding to his confidence-building homework over the next few weeks! 😂🐾💨
