i was teaching my dog to swim today (vid)
 

it was hot weather in the uk today.

Not that good a swimmer but one hell of a vertical leaper :1orglaugh:thumbsup

I been doing the same took my dog out twice and I'm still freaked out my dog will go under. My Black Lab mix is not scared of the water but swims like an amature, I want to train him to do dock diving and jump like 20 feet.

smart dog.She learn fast:) Not same thing can we say about MrMaxwell for example who is a retarded one

Great clips and a happy and smart dog!

Sorry for the threadjack, but I just had to post these pics of my dog:

I'm not sure that's really teaching your dog to swim. Clearly the dog knows how to swim and can't be bothered unless you tell it too :) Cute dog though :)

great pics

thats what i was trying her to do.

Since J. Falcon started it ....... (love the expression in Falcon's second photo)


Here's mine when she was younger.

She is a hell of a frog catcher.

Well, you don't really need to teach him. He knows.

Getting him into the water might be something he needs to learn. I can't keep my Lab out of the water.

Dogs are so cool.

thought all the dogs can swimm ....I mean is there any dog which actualy can't swim?

It's true. The hardest part is to help the dog become unafraid of the water and for that you usually have to take him to the beach/river/lake from an early age. Swimming comes naturally to them, as it does to all animals.
