swimming

Any of you guys ever brought a swimming/ paddling pool for your dogs to teach them to swim?, if so how did you get on?

I thought my pup would love it but she would just get straight out when I'd put her in! She's just starting to go into the very shallow water at the beach so hopefully one day she'll learn to love the water!

Daisy won't go near water but my sister bough a paddling pool last summers and her dogs love it!

billie is to bad with water the other 2 hates it, my old sam used to swim and drive under the water

she will paddle her feet in the water but i havent yet tried her with swimming, i think i will give it ago when the weather warms up enough. Thanks for the replies guys

Snoop would stay clear of it and did not seem impressed with getting wet at all.
Not tried with Lula

Bought a little one last year just so Vin could cool off, certainly not big enough for swimming. He does like water though   

Thistle learn't to swim, she fell in the canal.

I bought Ron Dog a paddling pool last summer - he loves to play in it but didnt learn to swim in it. He loves a little shallow stream near to home and found his swimming legs by playing in there.

I got Ronnie the chad valley shell shaped ones that are hard based (think argos do them as sandpit/swimming pools) when I was looking I was told their claws go through traditional pools too easy.

He loves the shower and has even jumped in the bath with me (without invitation!!!!)

Thanks for the replies i think i will give it ago

Darcy doesn't like the bath, but will paddle at the beach

We wouldn't have room in our garden for much more than a paddling pool which I have often considered getting for Rocky during the summer, just need some summer now though
