Well, Zack fell into the pool not once but twice in excitement so we taught him how to jump in and how to find his way out.
The point is, we turned it into a positive training process and he LOVES the pool. He is an excellent swimmer too. Though Kat went - hmm I WAS the center of attention - as Kat had been in and now I have competition. heh
Any ooops that you have, if you think about it can lead to a training session that ends positive.
How did we do it? We stayed upbeat - positive and then showed him how to get out over and over and then when he wanted to jump in, we showed him how.
We never just let the dogs out so we are not afraid of them falling in accidentally but we will spend the rest of the week showing him that he doesn't go in unless invited.
We will fill you in as that occurs.
Right now Abs and Zack are playing up a storm and after a good brush out - well he is air drying. More tomorrow....
