Thanks guys I appreciate the nice comments. I am very computer challenged so I was happy to finally get help doing it.
Y S1 we live on a lake and when playing in the yard the first summer we had Lola she ran down the steps and jumped in, she liked standing on the bottom step to the lake and dropping her toy and then going in to get it. It's pretty shallow and little by little she kept going further out. She is extremely toy driven and will do just about anything to get to her toy so we started tossing it off the dock, and sure enough she started jumping in after it, LOL after my husband gave her the first nudge.
My sister Dale is the one with the pool, she lives in NY so we don't get there allot, the first time I brought Lola there, Dale was doing something by the pool and I just finished saying don't be surprized if she jumps in and sure enough she did. My sister has Lucy who is the yorkie in the video, she will not go in. Most small dogs do not seem to like swimming, I don't think it something you teach they seem to either like it or not. Oddly enough Lola HATES getting a bath or a shower
