Thread: Teaching a dog to swim

If you are close to the sea estuaries are good places to go as usually the water gradually deepens. messing about here with them on usually helps just make sure the currents are not too strong!

Some dogs get it and others not so much.
Our departed male pointer was a water "thrasher" his whole life but he did love the water as long as it was not flat. My old girl loved swimming in the surf at Delaware bay where as our current young dog is part "seal" in anything bigger than a puddle.
