POV… Beatrice the 6-month-old Rottie 🩷🐾
Beatrice has been coming to us since she was a tiny puppy to build her confidence in the water, as she’s soon going to be living on a narrowboat with her dad! 🚤
As you can see, she’s taken to it SO well! 🥹
We use toys as motivation and then hand the toy to the dog, rather than encouraging repetitive fetching from the water line. This is a much safer way to use toys around the pool and helps us keep their swimming sessions controlled and purposeful. 🐾
Hopefully, she won’t be mistaking canals for a hydrotherapy pool anytime soon! 😂🚤🩷
