Indoor pool for dogs

[anglodrkns]

Does anyone know of anywhere with an indoor pool you can take a puppy swimming. I will be picking up my new bird dog in January and am looking for somewhere I can do some water introduction during the colder months

The 404 Emergency Vet Clinic in Newmarket has an indoor pool, however no idea if they offer puppy swimming classes or rent the pool out.

Gilmore Road vet clinic in Aberfoyle south of Guelph. Has both a pool for swimming and a water tread mill for rehab therapy

Thanks, those are both a little far for me to drive but I will keep in mind

I spoke with red barn event center, a dog training facility in Barrie where I am located, and they have said that they are actually in the process of putting in a indoor pool into there facility for water conditioning. It is supposed to be ready in the spring next year

In all reality water intro can be done anytime. Personally wouldn't be in a rush to get a pup into water. Start with splashing in spring time puddles and let the dog get use to getting wet in deeper and deeper water naturally.

I just wanted to make sure the first real intro (swimming) would be in warmer water. I fully intend to fill a shallow storage container in the house for it to play in if I get the chance. I just want to make sure it has as many chances and good experiences with water possible.
