This Web Story will teach you how to teach your dog to swim. We'll cover everything from getting your dog comfortable in the water to teaching them basic swimming strokes.
The first step is to get your dog comfortable in the water. Start by letting them wade in shallow water and gradually introduce them to deeper water.
Once your dog is comfortable in the water, you can start teaching them to float. To do this, hold your dog in the water with their head above water
Once your dog can float, you can start teaching them to move forward. To do this, gently push your dog's head in the direction you want them to go.
Once your dog can move forward, you can start teaching them to turn. To do this, gently turn your dog's head in the direction you want them to turn.
Once your dog can turn, you can start teaching them to back up. To do this, gently push your dog's head in the direction you want them to go.
Once your dog can back up, you can start teaching them to dive. To do this, hold your dog in the water and gently lower their head underwater.
