[nagdu] let's get sweaty!

[Tami Jarvis]

Dan,

I think a lot depends on how much you trust the folks who would be 
watching your dog to follow your instructions. While you're in the 
sauna, you won't really be able to hear much if anything of what is 
going on outside where your dog is, and you wouldn't be able to respond 
quickly even if you did. So if it were me, I would want to be really 
sure of whoever was around the dog during that time.

My acupuncturist has an infrared sauna I want to get back to using, so I 
kinda went through the same considerations. She is okay with having 
Mitzi around while I'm cooking, and I would trust her with the dog. But 
I decided I would just leave the poodle home when I'm going to use the 
sauna, since I do that in winter and have a ride to my appointments. 
There's not really a good place to put her out of the flow, and she 
would be unattended much of the time. I don't think there would be a 
problem with that, but if she decided to be a nuisance or something, I 
wouldn't be able to deal with it. I do the sauna in winter, where 
working the dog up there just for the walk isn't too tempting. /lol/ If 
I have a sauna appointment on one of our rare nice winter days, I may 
consider taking advantage of it for the working walk with Mitzi and 
leave her on tie-down.

But that's a different situation than the gym, so I'm not suggesting you 
make the same decision. Just kinda thinking through my considerations.

Have fun sweating it out!

Tami
