When we first got BUttercup, we let him in the swimming pool with us and he just started swimming. We don't let him swim with us any more because I'm afraid that he'll drown so we now put him in the hot tub (with the heater off) right next to the swimming pool which is only 3 feet deep and about 4 feet wide with my son. I think it's natural for dogs to know how to swim |
