How to teach my puppy to swim?
I have a lab mix puppy who is 6 months old. She loves the water. But yesterday we went swimming for the first time and she jumped in the water with no problem. But as she was trying to swim she looked like she was having trouble. She was swallowing a bunch of water and her front paws were out of the water trying to paddle. How can I train her to swim better? Should I invest in a dog life jacket?
admin answers:
Ignore any prescriptive advice. Your puppy will learn to swim when in the proximity of water at its own pace. If she’s already happy to jump in, (mine wasn’t) then she’s doing well, and is probably held back only by an intrinsic lack of coordination. Buying a life jacket will, more likely than not, slow down your puppies learning, although it may be a crucial investment if you’re not willing to dive in an fish her out if she starts sinking.
I found the best motivator to teach my half lab half golden retriever to swim was ducks. Okay, its not ethical to teach your dog to chase ducks, but they fly away and she’ll never catch one unless its injured. Once the dog sees ducks, it will try very very hard to get to them, figuring out swimming in the process.
To conclude, wait for her to grow a little older, and the coordination will come.
