Not really a 'training' issue, but... How do you get a Yorkie used to (or started in) swimming? I just picked up a very small inflatable ring pool about 3' across and maybe 8" deep. I don't want to toss Mac in (he's 5 months old) as that could be rather stressful. Do I toss in a toy? I think he'd be way to scared to go after it. (He doesn't care for his baths much although he does like licking the water from the sprayer in the sink.) So how do I introduce Mac to his little wading pool so he'll LOVE it? How did you get your Yorkie to LOVE swimming? I've seen the great pics / avatars and even videos of Yorkies swimming and would love to be able to have Mac do the same someday. Thanks for any hint and tips!! :animal36 |
I think if you get in with your yorkie will do and make him comfortable, I think it will help if is a warm day too, sorry I couldn't be more help:( |
If you're in the water would he not want to be in with you? Hugs Shirl x x |
Thanks for the thoughts. I'd love to get in with him but jeesh - this kiddie pool is only 3 feet across and maybe 8 inches deep. It's tiny and though I'm not big, if I did get in, all the water would go out! :p And I can't sit cross-legged either (never could do that). :( I did place him in the pool on the weekend and he just stood there - which is GOOD. Then about 10 seconds later he had enough. :rolleyes: So I praised him for that short time. I'll try when the weather gets hot again in a day or so. Maybe I'll put a toy in with him. Any other ideas? |
