Our Top Tips for doggy water confidence
💙 Engagement is crucial. This starts before either of you step in the water.... If you're dog wants to be with you and thinks you're the most fun ever then you're already halfway there
💙 DON'T FORCE THEM. EVER.
💙 Build up slowly... Think about taking them to a flat lake that's quiet rather than a busy beach with big waves
💙 Get in the water with them, practice recall, use treats and make it a positive experience while you're in there together
💙 Some breeds are not natural swimmers so really make sure you know they can swim before you ever take them out of their depth
💙 Make sure YOU are confident in the water..... If you're scared, they will be too!
