Neither one of my boys liked the pool at first...but I cuddled them really close to me and held them tight to make them feel secure. I talked really sweet to them and floated them around in the pool just as if I was training a baby to get used to the water. After I got them used to the water, I held their front paws and floated them around like they were babies. Then I taught them how to find the steps so they could get out. Now anytime I call them to the edge of the pool they willingly come to me to get in. They have a boogie board that they float around on and I pull them. They seem to like being in there now. You have to teach them to like the water. |
