TerryB, starting with short sessions near the water before gradually introducing your lab to a stationary boat might help. Always ensure these experiences are positive with plenty of treats and praise.

Do you use life vests on your dogs? Been thinking about it but not sure if they’re comfy.

Absolutely agree, DogMom77! Swimming is the best. Just got to keep an eye on them to make sure they’re safe.

We always take our dogs for a swim to cool off. They absolutely love it, and it’s a great way for them to exercise.

Tried a bunch of these tips and nothing. Maybe some dogs just aint cut out for the water life.

We’ve set up a little shaded spot with a continuous water dispenser for our dogs, and it works wonders. Great suggestion, Paul!

Dont they need their fur to protect against the sun? Sounds kinda iffy to me.
