Puppy Swimming Lessons // The BEST way to teach a young dog to swim

Getting your dog comfortable around the water is going to be important for so many reasons. Having a water-anxious dog makes bath-time almost unbearable!
So, take the time and do it right. Make sure that you puppy gets to figure things out at her own speed. As she does, swimming will actually just become a natural next step.
Trust me, you trips to the beach or river will be so much better if you just follow these simple steps to introducing your dog to water. Also, it works great for older dogs too!

Cat's are the same way. Teach them to like the water and let them get used to it on their own

I think a lot of situational things can be socialized with animals - like water, noises, new people, etc.

Awesome idea. Where do we find shallow water?

[@DogFocusTraining]

Where are you located? We have a lake that is perfect near us. In this video I took advantage of a slow, wide river with shallow edges
