Awesome!!! It looks GREAT!!! I hope he takes to it since he isn't a FULL bully breed
That looks like fun!!!
I wish I could do that!!
How do I get him to go in that direction though, because he isnt much of a tugger/ puller, and I dont want to build one and him not even bother with it
I guess I never really tried to get him to do it, pull or tug, so now I will start, with a rolled up towel maybe put some meat inside it.
Is that a good way to start heading that way?

Thats great because I want to desperatley take them off the filler kibble and looking in to getting them Wellness Core, Orijen, Innova Evo, or Artemis Maximal Dog. Which ever one has a reatailer nearest me
ALSO, I have a 6mo old pugg and Brooklyn, whos 13 mo. I should get 2 different kinds right? One small breed puppy formula and the other an adult medium/or large breed formula,
because right now I have them both on the same puppy kibbles and bits one
As to how much to feed.
For Example:
The instructions of Artemis Maximal Dog (
http://www.dogfoodanalysis.com/dog_food ... 1730&cat=8) read 2.5 cups for a 50lb dog, so I did the math and thats .05 cups per pund so my Brooklyn whos 43 should get 2 1/4 cups
and for Billy, whos the Pug is 15lbs, Im thinking of nnova EVO Red Meat (Small bites) (
http://www.dogfoodanalysis.com/dog_food ... 1605&cat=8) and their instructions read one cup for a 15lbs dog. So thats easy
Now are these totals on a per day feeding or 2ice a day, as I already am feeding them?

I understand that,
.. But I meant that most places that allow people wont allow dogs in the water, since I dont live near the beach. I wanted to find a lake or something, its going to take some research

I thought that and that is why I am so concerned on putting them on a better diet
Billy being a pug, and Brooklyn being a mix, I have no idea where or what his history is, being as he was rescued. I will walk them more and play with them, as to streneous excersise... I dont think I will reach that. But I will be getting more active with them..
THANKS TO EVERY ONE FOR THE FEEDBACK!!!

if you love your dogs and want to learn and do better for them
