I Dont Know How New This Is But Help Me Tweak It.
A Jenny Inside A Swimming Pool!on The End The Dog Is Will Be A Harness But Wont Allow The Dog To Drown.there Will Still Be Weights On One End And Whatever You Decide In The Cage.i Think It Would Greatly Increase The Dogs Workout.also There Could Be A Loading Dock Where The Harness Release And You Just Slap Another One On...i Know You Guys Got Somethin To Add, If It Is A New Idea It Might Be The Next Best Thing

Personally, I think it's not wise. Too much work or over exertion during swimming can actually do more damage than good. He'd get a safer more effective workout by just throwing something out for him to fetch and bring back, or swimming along side you.

Sounds great but not very practical unless you have and can afford those luxurys.

They do something very similiar with horses. Infact there is a company that makes a water tread mill for dogs. It really cool looking, but very expensive around $10-20,000.

I whould just find a that about up to your dog neck, and let him play in it, runnin in water= more force than regular runnin, there for doin more good but it whould be real easy to over do it
