Our 2025 holiday theme/décor was joy to the world. I’d like to thank all clients, past and present, for giving me the opportunity to share in the joy of working with you and your dogs.

I’m happy to include video 1 of this year's holiday headband photos. It is grouped by dog family first, with additional dogs alphabetically. Participation is always optional, and appreciated. We would like to thank all clients, 2 legged and 4 legged who participated.

We hope all client dogs enjoyed their holiday toys and once again their stinky tripe chew. We have a few photos of client dogs and/or their housemates playing with their new toys. We will add those photos in the comments. Please feel free to send more our way and we will continue to post them.

Meet Margot: Last summer Margot came to us for swimming lessons. She had limited water experience, and we needed to help build her water confidence.

Margot was nervous at first but was a very quick study. Initially, Margot swam with a life vest and after some laps was willing to retrieve a disc toy. Since she was doing so well, we replaced the vest with a float collar. Again, after a few laps she continued to retrieve the toy. Then we progressed to her swimming on her own with no floatation. She did well and continued to retrieve. Her first lesson was a great success!

Margot has had a couple more lessons and continues to visit for tune ups. She is now happy and confident when she arrives for her swims.

When not enjoying her swimming sessions, lake swims and paddle boarding, Margot participates in NASDA, Barn Hunt, Rally and Agility.

Many thanks to Madi (Margot’s mom), for trusting me to teach sweet Margot to swim, and for her continued support of my swimming services business.

Meet Eddie & Goose: Eddie is a performance dog who came to us for swim lessons and swim therapy for tune ups and prevention. Eddie had limited, to no, water experience. Initially, he swam with a life vest and was pretty nervous. Like others, after a few sessions, he decided he enjoyed the massage portion of his sessions enough to tolerate swimming. As his skills improved, and he built more confidence, it increased his desire to retrieve toys and play in the pool.

Goose joined the family last year and initially tagged along to Eddie’s sessions. He also had limited water experience and needed his own swimming lessons and exercise swims. Since he is also a performance dog, unfortunately he experienced a tendon injury. In addition to getting formal rehab, he receives swim therapy. He is doing well and is back at training and competing. He is still a little nervous in the pool, and we are working on his confidence.

When not enjoying their swim therapy sessions, and playing in the river, Eddie and Goose participate in NASDA and UKC Scent work and agility trials.

Many thanks to Tori, (Eddie and Goose’s mom), for including me as part of Goose’s recovery team, as well as Eddie and Goose for their continued support of my swim therapy services.

This week we’re featuring success stories to celebrate our swim lesson and swim therapy clients, as some clients start their swim therapy journey needing swimming lessons.

Many have gone on to enjoy activities like dock diving, paddle boarding, and water play in rivers and lakes, and most are now confident swimmers.

If we helped your dog learn how to swim and you would like to share photos and/or videos of them utilizing their swimming skills beyond our Canine Therapy Pool, please send them our way.

We love seeing our swim lesson and swim therapy dogs thrive and can't wait to see your amazing swimmers!

Since the dogs will be featured alphabetically, we start off with Adira.

Meet Adira: Last year, Adira came to us for swim therapy for a soft tissue injury but only had limited water experience. This is very common for new swim therapy dogs.

Initially, she swam with a life vest and was pretty nervous. After a few sessions, she decided she enjoyed the massage portion of her sessions enough to tolerate the swimming. As her skills improved, she only needed a float collar but still had little interest in retrieving toys.

Enter her “brother” Groot, (who will be featured in a future post), who also had limited water experience. Once his swim skills improved, and since he loves toys, he found the joy of retrieving the rubber chicken toys. Since Adira was not going to be out done it was “game on!”. She soon developed a love for retrieving chicken toys too, so much so she started to jump off the platform while doing so. As you can see from the videos, it led to expanding her skills to include Dock Diving.

When not enjoying her swim therapy sessions, Adira participates in Flyball tournaments and competes in NASDA and NACSW Scent work. To support her Dock Diving goal, we are working on Adira’s interest in retrieving bumpers and other toys besides her beloved pink chicken!

Many thanks to Lauren, (Adira’s mom), for including me as part of Adira’s recovery team, as well as Adira and her brother Groot for their continued support of my swim therapy services.

This is a fun take on our boy Teddy and his cousin Larson wearing pro-collars, but there are benefits for some dogs to wear a pro collar/float collar during swimming.

When dogs wear pro or float collars while swimming, it helps keep their heads afloat and their ears dry. Here's how:

Head Support and Buoyancy: Some dogs may struggle to keep their heads above water, especially if they are older or swimming for long periods. A pro collar, which is inflatable or padded, can help provide buoyancy and ensure that the dog's head stays above the water level, making swimming easier and safer. This is particularly helpful for dogs that are older, not strong swimmers or have difficulty staying afloat.

Ear Protection: Many dogs, especially those with floppy ears (like Cocker Spaniels or Basset Hounds), are prone to ear infections or irritation when water enters their ears. A pro collar helps keep their ears dry by preventing the water from entering their ear canals while they swim. Moisture in the ears can lead to bacterial or fungal infections, so keeping them dry is important for maintaining their health, especially during swimming.

In these cases, the collar acts as both a buoyancy aid and a protection mechanism to ensure the dog can swim safely while also safeguarding their sensitive ears.
