We found out that one of the YMCA's near Dayton was hosting a swim with your dog afternoon. Well, being on vacation this week Gary and I decided to take our girls. We really had a good time. Most of the dogs there were small dogs or labs. You should have seen the faces of the staff when we walked in with our troop!! They had it fixed up real nice so the dogs would get in and out of the pool easily. Sam and Panda were the hit of the day. They demonstrated many of their WD training techniques and even tried to save a few people and dogs. This was a great training enviroment because of all the people and dogs. Sam and Panda really had to focus on what they were doing. Many people commented on how graceful and steady they were in the water instead of splashing everywhere. I cannot count how many times I said "They were bred to swim...." Of course, Sara just observed. Everyone got a free Iams bananna and treats.
I thought I should add. I talked to the staff and once a year they drain and power wash the pool. So this will be an annual event on the day they plan to drain the pool.
