Hates Water

I was wondering if there was a way to get your rottie to like playing in water?


It is a fight just to give Dally a bath. We love to swim in the summer. There is a big lake that everyone goes to. I would love to take Dally, but she will not swim with us. I have even tryed walking her to the edge just to get her feet wet.
She is not will not get close. I get those looks like I know you are not going to try to get me in there. Or The look that I have just lost my mind for thinking she might like to play in it.


I know Dally would do anything I do 99.9 % of the time. But not when it come to water.


PLEASE HELP. Shell

I started Ariel as a puppy with a little kiddy pool. I bought one of those little electric swimmers. Ariels watched it for a few seconds and started putting her paws in. Within a few minutes she was standing in the kiddy pool. She never felt we were pressuring her and now she loves the water. Every puddle is an invitation to play.


Always start small and praise for even getting her toes wet.
