hi all,
I bought a little pool for Murphy (3 month mini poodle). Well, its really not a pool but a under the bed plastic bin that i put water in so he can climb in if he wants to.
but he hasnt climbed in. he has drinking from it, but has not climbed in.
should i just pick him up and put him in or do i wait till he goes in by himself?
or maybe I should just bring him to the little lake by my house where he can get his little feet wet. Im just worried if he will drink the lake water...he still hasnt gotten all his shots yet so i dont want him to drink the dirty lake water yet.
I really want him to like swimming.
any ideas on how i should introduce him to this?
FYI...the water in the bin isn't deep at all im just thinking maybe i should pick him up, put him in, cool him down, and he might like it....
or of course he may get PTSD or from it.:dont-know::dont-know:
