Are your babies scared of water? I was wondering how normal/abnormal it was for a yorkie to be afraid of water. So here it is, how many babies are afraid of water? |
neither of mine much like the sea but Dixie seems to like splashing about in it -- but not too deep. We regularly go walking by a river and in the height of summer Dougal slowly got more and more confident about swimming in it to fetch sticks and things. I even bought him a special floating toy which he loves me to throw in. He'll only go in to chase things though. Dixie just goes in to her little knees and has a drink then sits on the shore looking distainfully at Dougal. (she's very good at that.) But if you mean bath water. Neither of mine particularly like it but they tolerate it. I got a little hose attachment thingy for my bath taps and that works well because I can regulate the temperature, they prefer it just warm, and the water flow and direction. It is much easier to wash them with the hose I find. Hope that helps :) |
HAHA - I have a Water FREAK - go see Chanel flying thru the air soaking wet LOL http://www.yorkietalk.com/gallery/sh...ry.php?cat=549 Cheri tried when she was a baby but it really wasn't her thing |
3 Water Babies We live right next door to the Dog Park, that has a small Lake with a small island in the middle of it......I have had to train all of my dogs and puppies (3 @ one time) not to go diving off the banks and not to drink it either! We are also right across the street from the Beach, I have also had to train them not to go in too deep, they will chase the waves and try to eat the sea foam which I think is gross but they have alot of fun? I only take them on a Bath Day. Artie will go floating on an air mattress, swimming and surfing with me, but I think he only does it because I do? I get worried about him drowning since he is the only one with a long coat! I have had a friend that had his 16 yr. old Yorkie drown in a Pond behind their own house! I always watch them like a hawk anyway......I could never afford to replace any of them, the 2 were Birthday Gift's and Tiffany was a by product of Artie & Abigail, technically "Free", not including the Vet. costs. They're never truly "Free", you still pay for them in the long run. |
cody is scared to death of water- bath water, pool water.... I'm assuming beach water, but we don't have access to a private beach and the public ones around here don't allow pets, but since he has a hard time walking through the grass after a sprinkler ran, I don't think he'd be very happy at the beach (we're hoping to get him used to it though) |
My girls both love the water. They love to go swimming in our backyard pool. They will get on the float and float for awhile and then dive off and swim in the water. Everytime we go swimming they have to be right there with us. Bath water is another thing. Alyssa loves to get a bath in the sink. Emmy still is not so sure of the water. She tries to climb right out. Both girls love the ocean and will chase the waves and run endlessly along the beach feeling the wind in their faces. Alyssa loves to dig up the shells that are in the sand on the beach. She does not bother the ones that are just lying in the sand. She goes for the ones she has to dig. |
I voted no...but he's never been to a beach or even a pool for that matter...but he loves the garden hose, I guess that's water????!!!! |

Max goes beserk if I go outside and turn the hose on if he can't get to it. It's the funniest thing and I wasn't really sure exactly what he was doing, but I think he's mainly trying to drink the water. He'll sometimes run out when the sprinklers go on and put his face right into the sprinkler at it's origin and get soaking wet. He yips really loud if I have the hose on and won't let him get to the water (b/c he then, runs thru sand and gets it all over everything, plus he keeps doing it and it makes him choke)......silly dog! Go figure though....when I give him a bath, rinsing his face is like the worst thing:rolleyes: |
Bella's not but my lab Bridget is ;) Bridget slipped off the dock at the lake where my inlaws live when she was probably 4 months old. She hates the bath, won't go swimming but loves her kiddie pool to lay in. |

They all HATE it when it is their bath time, but boy, they all come running everytime I get out of the shower! It is fascinating when the water is on mama! ;) |
my muffie is so bad. everytime my daugher is in the pool (3ft) she will jump in. and yes she can jump that high. i would have never thought but she does. then she jumps in the water, goes to the bottom, swims up and then throws up all night b/c she has gotten water in her lungs. what a mess. she has been to the er three times due to this. so "no" she is not afriad of water but i wish she were. i have to keep her in the house when we are in the pool so that she will not jump in |

:) Uma hates bath water, but loves to paddle with her paws in the water dish and track wet spots all over my floor. I guess she loves water...but only on her paws! |
Bunny LOVES taking showers or baths. Bella on the other hand is not afraid of water... she just dose not like any one splashing her or the shower head when its on. She rather get the soap of her, her self. She is such a miss priss lol :p |
Mine doesn't really like a bath but will stand there calmly and let me bathe him. |
Cody doesn't like getting a bath... But he drinks his water out of bowl. and he doesn't mind getting wet by the rain. |
Bella doesn't like getting a bath, but after someone in my family has taken a shower, she likes to go in there and walk around in the wet shower. :p |
not exactly thrilled but i wouldn't say afraid:) |
Riley hasn't experienced water except for the bath. He isn't really scared of it, but when I give him a bath, he always tries to jump out. I think he just does it because he knows it gets mommy wet. :p |
Cash loves water. He licks me when I get out of the shower or the pool, doesn't mind his baths and swims readily in our swimming pool. He also gets on the floats and likes to race with us - swimming from one side to another. He is so much fun.:D |
My Carlos likes the water once he is in it but if you pick him up and put him in he is like no no no! |
Sal hates water everytime we turn on the water or try to give him a bath, he complete losses it and it takes awhile to calm him down. |
Tatum? Afraid of water? HAH!!! She LOVES water. Heck, she will try and go out in the rain! And she falls asleep in her bath! :D Stedman on the other hand, hates it :p |
scrappydoo loves to get in the swimming pool. |
Rocky & Sunnie love the lake. They both have spent alot of time at Lk Michigan since they were young & we live so close. If I'm out in the water, Rock will come out to where I'm at & swim with me. Sunnie just runs through the surf chasing the waves. Maggie came to us when she was 1 1/2 yrs old and had never seen a lake. She loved it the first time that she could run free in the sand and play in the water then a couple of summer's ago she tried to jump from our boat to the dock and fell in the water. Now she just runs in the sand...well above the waterline.... |
she doesnt mind baths but she gets a little scared in the pool |
