Took my foster dog Pickles to her first Hydrotherapy session today!
I'm lucky to have a pool just one block away.
It was the first time Pickles was in water so today it was mostly about getting her used to the water, the floating and teaching her how to swim. Making sure she's relaxed and happy and not panicky.
She did really well! A bit scared and nervous for sure but there were also many moments where she was completely relaxed and swam like a pro!
We're going back again on Sunday. And then again on Wednesday. After that she should be comfortable in the water to really start therapy.
