Some dogs have to be taught to swim. I took mine in the pool with me. I had them paddle to me, from hubby a tiny distance. Over a week or so they were jumping in on their own, to get on the raft with me. I have four Yorkies and two love water play and 2 prefer staying dry. They all can swim. I taught them how to swim to the steps. Here in Fl. I would never let my dog swim in any lake, pond, or stream. I am afraid of alligators. |
