Does your Yorkie like to go swimming? Mine hides at bath time. I'm out here at the pool and when he gets hot, he steps on the top step to let me know he wants to go swim and cool off. |
Mine absolutely adores it. Dogs are smart they know baths are well baths - but swimming is pure fun:_) |
Lol He knows he can make me drop what I'm doing to put him in the water. He does a circle and climbs back out afterwards |
1 Attachment(s) ZoE will swim, but I wouldn't say she likes it. She loves her little paddling pool that she can jump in and out of on hot days, but doesn't seem to like the one where she can't touch the bottom. Here she is swimming in my floaty pool. |
1 Attachment(s) i have to say Cody likes his kiddie pool, last year we had a pool invite from a friend of mine, I had Cody on a retractable leash, Cody had never seen a pool before this event, my friend was in the pool, Cody saw my friends LEGS below the water and went into Cujo mode lol, attacking the water, trying to kill the monster (he was 3 1/2 y/o) see pic,he jumped in the pool, his eyes were as big as saucers when he realized there was no ground beneath him lol, I guided him back to the steps. Still holding his leash I got in the water, again he jumped in, swam to me with his saucer eyes lol, again I led him to the steps. I just got him a life jacket, now I am waiting for a pool invite lol, I think with the life vest he will have more confidence. But that water is so dang cold. When I fill his kiddie pool he will hop in and out, after a few hours and the water gets warmer he'll stay in, he digs at the water like a crazy boy and bites the bubbles he makes lol. Now he is use to water in a pool, I think as long as I am in the pool he will like to swim. (keeping fingers crossed lol) |

Are there vests or floats for Yorkies ? My profile pic. He jumped on me floating in the water last year. Guess, I wasn't paying enough attention |
Jackson lovessss to swim. I always encouraged it though and made it a fun and positive experience, then he started jumping in: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YMV2VrK2Q7k |
How cool |

Yes, they make life vests for dogs. Here is ZoE in a life jacket, swimming in my other pool. She's since outgrown the life jacket, so I just gave it to my daughter to use for her puppy that she gets this week. |
We bought a life vest at Petsmart |
How much were they ? I don't have a pet smart close by here. Might check amazon . My lil guy I don't think will get in the water unless, I put him in off the step |

I was just informed that it was Amazon not Petsmart, Here is the link. ![]() It says only 1 XXS left and more XS left. |
Hannah likes it as long as I'm right there with her. My Silky, Rocket loves water regardless of where it comes from pool, pond, mud hole, hot tub or hose. I can't keep him out of the hot tub when we turn the bubbles on. It makes him crazy and he does not stop barking or jumping in until I turn them off. |
Sunni loves the little kiddie pool I got for her. Its way more fun watching her chase the hose as I fill the little pool with water, lol...she goes nuts putting her head in it andd trying to lick the water...She jumps in and out of the pool and really does have fun...I throw some toys in it and she plays just like a toddler would, lol. |
