[NAGDU] Acclimating a dog to being at the side of a pool

Sun Jul 9 13:25:17 UTC 2017

When I go to the gym, or to ballroom dancing class, I leash-tie Krokus
somewhere in the room where he's out of the way, but can still see me.  If
we go out to a dinner dance, I leave him home.  There's not much free space
between tables, and he's not very trustworthy around food.

There's an outdoor pool nearby, but I've never taken him with me.  I worry
about finding a shady spot for him, and what he might eat when I'm not
there, and who might mess with him.

Hi when you go to the gym can you tell me what you do with her? Do you put
her on tie down some where or do you just have her on a down and stay
command?

I am asking because I am trying to decide what is the best thing to do with
Darcy when I go to the pool or to say line dancing at our club house.

Thanks,

Ricky Joe & Darcy

Hi there. You're a little of her little ideas. To help you. When you go to
the pool. Maybe. You would like to take one of her favorite blankets. For
her to lay on. That might help her feel secure. And another thing. You might
want to take one of her favorite bones. Or one of her favorite toys. I know.

When I take these things to the gym. For my dog cadence. That helps her feel
very secure. Hope this helps
