BTW...my wife DID NOT approve of this "training" method.

Thats how I learned how to swim too. Were you and my grandfather friends?

Thanks James. He's a big baby. Most people are afraid of him till they see he just want's to play.

Reminds me of out German Shepard/Black lab mix. When he would get out into the front yard he would go crazy running around everywhere. You've never seen so many terrified people in all your life.

He'd make a beeline for a person with the intention of playing but he just ended up chasing them instead.

He's still scared of it... He's 3..

Mine jumped off the dock to get a duck. She was able to jump out of the water and back onto the dock. Now we can only wade in with her, and only up to her chest.

The SO's boxer likes to take a quick swim around the pool after a long walk. Boxers are circus clowns....

my boxer will walk in until the water almost hits her chest. then she's on her way out.
the little poodle on the other hand, can't keep her out of the water.

There's a lady at the dog park who has a life vest for her boxer.

Its hilarious because he just floats around until his rear legs touch, then he pushes off, and repeat..

I can see Bobbi (the so's boxer) doing that. I'm afraid we'd have to drag her out of the pool. Funny dog will chase me around the pool all day if I could do it...

She trains super easy too. It seems her entire goal in life is to do whatever we want her to do. If we don't give her something.. she finds a slipper....

Right now I'd pay almost anything.

I'm dog sitting for my parents (two shih tzus that are very well trained) and my sister in law who has a stupid pug/terrier/beagle/who knows cross. This little guy is a piddler. He piddles when he gets excited and his weiner keeps popping out. I keep yelling "put that thing away!" but it keeps coming out. ARGH!!! This is why I'll always have a girl dog. No weiners.
