Topic Dog Boards / General / Hydrotherapy

Ok here is the story. I am going to uni in september which leaves my dogs with my parents which is fine. Apart from my dad working full time and my mum 3 times a week. We have found a dog walker for the mongrel who is easy to look after but the problem is finding someone to take Ziggi who is very scared of dogs and comes out in agression.
You are probably all thinking why is this thread called hydrotherapy then. Well I thought perhaps instead of a mid day walk with a dog walker (mum and dad will give morning and evening walks) maybe a fun session of hydrotherapy would do instead to keep her activity up.
So my question is a) do you think this would work?
b) any one know of hydrotherapy pools that pick  up the dogs and are in/around london?
c) if you don't think this would work does anyone know of dog walkers who are experienced enought to walk a fearful dog and cope with her problems and not make them worse (she is actually starting to play with strange dogs since being on the BARF diet (coming up to a month since i started :) ))?

Thankyou in advance
Best Wishes

Can't help with any of your questions apart from saying that I think the hydro pool is a great idea, your dog would certainly get the exercise, but what of the cost??? Can't imagine what it would be to pick up and collect and use the pool :eek: but I bet it wouldn't be cheap, Also would they warrant a dog just going there for fun?? (forever pesamistic) I'm sure if you ring around you may find a dog walker who is very apt to dealing with dog aggression, hopefully someone in your area will come along soon.

But to be honest, if your mum and dad are going to do morning and evening walks that may well be sufficient anyway, your mum is only away for 3 days a week, so could the dog walker for your other dog, not just let your Viz out in the garden and stay in the home for a while.
