In this video, Michael’s dog, Hudson, gets a swim lesson from Julie. Hudson had too much fun playing and started to limp. His vet said the best exercise for him would be in the water.

In the video, Julie gives lots of fun dog facts for children about dogs swimming. Only about 20% of the dogs she works with know right away how to swim. Many of them swim with two legs–not four.

Hudson was a fast learner, as you will see. He swam with four legs immediately and looked like he was having a lot of fun. He swam better once his “mom” (Michael’s mom) got in the water with him and even jumped off the ramp to swim to her. This surprised Julie a lot!
