My Snickers loves swimming in our pool. When he was about 4 months old, I would take him in on short swims to help him gain strenth back in the leg he broke & had surgery on. I will admitt, he did not love it then.
BUT, last week I threw his new favorite toy in & he jumped in after it. He learned that he can touch the bottom on the first step of the pool & he is now in & out as long as I let him. He will even get in the pool & start swimming toward me if I go off the diving board. I posted pics the other day under "my yorkie". We have a lot of fun, but it is a grooming nightmare! |
