Jackson loves the water!! It is a fantastic form of exercise too. I would start by gradually introducing him so you don't scare him/force him into something, allow him to learn to enjoy it! Use fav treats/toys etc to encourage him. Do you have a step etc? You can slowly put him on the step and give him his fav treat and then take him back out. Don't just put him in the pool. I think a lot of folks do that and then scare the dog from liking water. Some will just not like it, no matter what. But I feel the younger you start the better.
Very important to teach them to get out of the pool in case of emergencies. Lifejackets are amazing, I find it gives dogs confidence as well in the water. |
