Sophie is a lucky dog. She lives near the ocean AND the newest Canine Aquatic Center facility in the San Francisco Bay Area - The Rex Center. This wonderful facility, is like a spa and healthy club for dogs, offering warm water swimming, aquatic water therapy, Reiki, massage, puppy classes and even canine freestyle classes.
Our Pal Dog Sophie had her first swimming lesson with creator Cathy Chen-Rennie, head swim coach and trained canine massage therapist and dog trainer. Cathy studied at the La Paw Spa in Colorado and has a great way of getting animals relaxed, used to the water and confident in the pool. As a 10-month old puppy, I thought it was time that Sophie learned to like the water and develop a good stroke. She had a blast!
