I'm considering getting a life-jacket for Siri to see if it will make her more confident with swimming. She hasn't been around water yet this summer (other than at the Purina Farms pool, which she wasn't into, literally or figuratively), so I want to see if she will go in a lake before I buy one. I would like experiences with them though.
Previously she would run into the water, and stop when it got high. Or she would stand on her back legs and wade out until that got too high. She's never actually gone past where she can touch.
Did they help? Hinder?
Did you make the dogs go in the water? Did you let them figure it out on their own?
Frodo will swim, but he HATED the lifejacket, and refused to move with it on...
