$10. Walmart large size kiddie pool, put enough water in to cover the top of her paws, then throw is a couple of rubber squeak toys, then you go to kiddie pool, put your hands in the water and splash your hands in it, tease her with the toys, let her enter the pool on her own, even if she just jumps in then out, don't force her in, coax her, make it fun. Cody is adopted, I got him when he was 2 .5 y/o, last year I got him the kiddie pool not knowing if he would like it or not. My passed 4 girls LOVED the water, I had avery big pool for them, donated that and all dog things when my last girl had to leave me, boy can I kick myself now. I can't find another pool like the one I donated. So Cody got this little kiddie pool but the larger one. I put just a few inches in it, tossed in his fav. toys, then made a big fuss telling him to go get the chicken or go get Ducky, the water was VERY cold as I had just filled the pool, he jumped in, grabbed his Ducky and hoped out. I kept throwing the toy back in the pool, he kept jumping in, every time he would jump in the pool I made a big fuss, clapped my hands, told him he's a good boy, my neighbors must have thought I was a nut case,fussing over a dog and a kiddie pool lol, who cared lol. By mid summer I had the pool pretty filled, no prob. he would jump in dig, dig, dig at the water, snapping at the bubbles he was making with his digging lol, he had a blast. Now this summer I am again starting with just a few inches of water and will add more each day. I would give it a try, $10. if she won't use it donate it to your local shelter, they use kiddie pools for the dogs.....good luck.
