Hey there
I have been watching you tube and searching internet for some ideas as we have a problem with water.
I would like Portia to swim as it would be a perfect way (and gentle on the pup) to get rid off that mad energy, but I feel like I am losing the battle here.
I am trying now for 3 weeks to get her in (v v gently), either swimming pool or a pond with easy access - no interest at all.
I have even tried other dogs to 'help' with playing in water - hoping she would join in but noooo - she is just watching from the dry side.
Bribery with treats and toys doesn't work with her either.
So, does your dobie swim/ like water? Any advice? Cheers everyone!
