[NAGDU] Taking my guide dog into an indoor pool area when I go for water aerobics.

[sblanjones11 at sbcglobal.net]

I prefer to leave my dog home in his crate.  I get a ride there anyway, so
don't mind just going with my cane.
He's a water-lover, and I don't want to have to think about what he's doing
while I'm working out in the pool.

Kind regards,
Susan & Topher

Hi Annette.  I swim twice a week in an indoor pool.  Until this last dog I
was able to attach my dogs to a solid post in the pool area.  They didn't
seem unduly stressed or over heated.  I took the harness off for the dog's
comfort and also to keep the harness from getting wet while the dog was
lying in the pool area. However, this last dog gets so excited that he
continually barks when I'm in the pool.  I suspect he would like to join me,
but no thanks to that.  Therefore, I purchased a collapsible crate in leave
him crated in and air conditioned office.  That works fine for us. Knowing
and observing your dog  is the key.  
God bless!
Paula and the pups

Hi all,     

I signed up for a water aerobics class at an indoor pool in a rec center.
The class lasts an hour.  I am wondering if it would be too hot and humid
for the dog. The aquatic supervisor said she could lie down on the pool
deck, and there was no other air conditioned place I could leave her.  Do
folks take your dogs into pool areas safely?
