I WISH!
Our shelter mutt is kind of at the point of enjoying going in the water to retrieve sticks/his toys, but only if he can still touch the ground. I'm not really surprised, he is quite insecure and still afraid of a lot of things. He only swam once, probably couple of months after we got him. We went into the river and he got super scared of being left alone and kind of slipped/half-jumped off the rock and got REALLY scared. No luck getting him to swim after that. It doesn't even help if we swim, because now he knows we are not just gonna leave him and he just sniffs on the shore and waits for us to come back.
Our shelter mutt girl has been with us for three months now, and she doesn't seem to really enjoy water. She is super courageous though and very food-obsessed and velcro so maybe we are going to be able to encourage her to go in. We'll see.
My future dog, owned exclusively by me, better enjoy water! I am dying to try dock-diving! Water obsessed dogs are just soooo cool!
If anyone has any secret tips on how to get dogs to enjoy water, please do share!
