When we think of "dog activities," we often imagine walks, ball games, or agility... But have you ever considered offering them an activity in the water?
At 1 Vie 2 Chiens , nestled in the magical setting of the Verdon Gorges , I invite you to discover how water activities can transform your dog: physically, mentally, emotionally… and relationally .
Why offer a water activity to your dog?
Water is a natural element , often underestimated, but greatly enriches the daily life for dogs.
When practiced gently and methodically, water activities allow you to:
-
develop self-confidence ,
-
enhance proprioception and coordination ,
-
work deeply on muscles, without joint impact,
-
mentally stimulate the dog in a playful environment,
-
ease physical or emotional tensions ,
-
and strengthen the bond with their human during a shared moment.
What if my dog doesn't like water?
This is exactly where my approach comes into play . Over the years, I have specialized in canine water activities : desensitization to canine paddle, floating courses, dog diving, recreational water rescue, swimming desensitization… Each activity is tailored to the dog's level , and always taught with respect for their emotions and pace .
Many fearful, sensitive, or shy dogs leave our sessions more confident, more open, more serene . And you can't imagine the joy of seeing a dog having fun, jumping, or simply placing a paw on a floating mat… with confidence.
The concrete benefits of water activities
-
Reduction of stress and tension
-
Improvement of motor skills, balance, and breath
-
Gentle muscle strengthening
-
Mental stimulation (decision-making, adaptation, concentration)
-
Emotional revaluation (initiative, success)
-
And above all… a moment of joy shared with you!
Give your dog a new way to thrive
At 1 Vie 2 Chiens , I offer you much more than an activity. I propose to reveal what your dog has within , to create a bond , to reduce unwanted behaviors , and to share a meaningful moment in an unforgettable setting .
