www.bighoneydog.com / Honey the Great Dane is officially a water-baby at last! She finally gains the confidence to enter the water and swim by herself, with the help of a favourite tug toy and lots of encouragement...not bad for the only the 3rd session (especially if you watched the video of her 1st swimming lesson!!)

  • can i ask why you take her swimming? Just wondering if there is a reason other than just for fun? I'm thinking of getting a Great Dane as soon as I have a big enough home and wanted to know if its something tats important for them ? (the swimming)

  • @BlodwenFach - We were doing it just for fun & 'coz Honey was always scared fo swimming in the sea but warm water hydrotherapy is considered good for dogs with arthritis or injuries or just old/lazy/fat dogs who need low impact exercise & rehab. It is very intense: 20mins swimming = 1hr running for the dog. But I know lots of ppl who take their dogs for fun coz water is warm & calm & more inviting than sea for scaredy dog + few places you can get in & swim with your dog. Sea is too cold in NZ!

  • hey i'm looking for swimmin gclasses sucks in london i cant find any but is that a floaty thing that honey has on her you guys?

  • @catXboy - She's wearing a dog life jacket - it was provided by the hydrotherapy centre for dogs that aren't very experienced swimmers. I think you can buy them online - I know a company called 'Outward Hound' does some.

  • man u guys push this dog ive seen the vids of her doing agility

  • I was owner of 5 greath dane mantel and total black and 2 were very scared from water also rain!..but 2...my god they falling in love so much for the water that they destroyed 2 big swimming pool to dive in!

  • my dog didn't know if she could swim or not, i found out by throwing her in the dugout. Thought i was going to have to save her, but she loved it. She's a purebred border collie. Was a city dog for her first year, but adapted to the farm very well.

  • thank you :-) not many people in England have Great danes it's a shame :-) i'd love my Hamlet to have more Dane friends

  • THERE YOU GO GIRL!!! LOVE HER!

  • nicee:)
