Better keep an eye on him. It could mean trouble!

Pools & Dogs Not Used to Pools?
Q
Comments (10)
We have two dogs, one that is 11 years old and one that is one year old. Both are labs. The older dog used to swim in the Chesapeake bay all the time, but will not swim on the pool. He likes to stand on the steps though. The young dog spent the winter running on the cover. When I opened the pool, we showed him where the steps are and he took it from there. There is a swim out at the deep end and he figured that out on his own too. He also has realized that he can stand on his hind legs in the shallow end and put his front paws on the coping or in the skimmer! I would never leave both dogs unattended outside for more than a few minutes. On a side note, our neighbors, who are great friends, also have a lab that fell ill with bone cancer last year. One of his front legs was amputated (very sad). But that sucker still swims like a champ!

O.T. Does your dog match your decor?

The color of my new dining room is 'French Bulldog' black, the runner for the stairs was chosen specifically because the dogs like to guard (I use that term very loosely) from the landing and we have coordinating beds scattered throughout the house. My pimped out minivan is black with a personalized Frogdog plate and Harley is the poster child for the labels on our homemade wine. So I guess the answer is a resounding yes. I'm the neighborhood dog freak - love these pictures, but always, always have a soft spot for the short noses - especially that little black pug!

Three years ago I posted pictures of my first (English) Bulldog litter of eight in this thread. 1998 Litter. Here's a picture of my current dog - Willow came to me from the Dog Track In Tampa, Florida, 1 8 months ago.

Do any of you have to deceive your dogs?
Q

On occasion it happens that my dogs get tricked. To me which would be harder on the dog, not getting a treat when I need to bring them in. OR me picking up a 80 lb plus dog or pulling and dragging him in I have done both. (this is not the norm occasionally my lab gets it in his head that he wants to stay out all night) Trust me the fake out is way better especially at midnight. Also works turning out the light and closing the door wait for 5 minuets then go get him. ( that trick I learned from my dad and me not getting home on time ) As for those who think resorting to a trick as poor training I say forget you. There is a lady at work likes to compare her oh so trained border collie which she got as a 3 month old pup to my big lab that I adopted when he was over a year old and had no socialization. When I share stories about my dohinkuses which are intended to be funny glimpses into the trials and tribulations of my dogs she always has a comment about how her dog always listens etc. In my own defense there have been many behaviors that I have resolved so I understand the need for training for safety of the dog and humans, and their of course needs to be rules but I would never ever ever want one of those overly trained dogs who have no free will cause their owners have replaced it with theirs. So yeah I have and will continue to trick my dogs if I need to if it means they get to be themselves. Oh yeah and did I mention the well trained border collie never gets walked cause she pulls on the lead.... hmmm :) Love my doggies

That is hilarous. What a clever dog. I thought for sure he'd get it in with the water still in. Thanks for the laugh.

No,Gus, no. She really sounded like she meant business didn't she? ha. I think she wanted to see if he could actually get it through the door, sans water that is.

That is too funny.....One of my sons has 2 English bulldogs and he will get a good laugh from that.....He did have to get the dogs their pool, only because he has a big pool and, Wrinkles, kept jumping in...There are only 2 or 3 breeds of dogs that can't swim and bulldogs happen to be one of them so they needed their own pool...He was going to try to fashion a life preserver but she's so big around and heavy, it would have never worked....

He didn't want the other dog to get in so he tried to get it away from him. Still hilarious!

I saw this on the news tonight. Too funny. I picked up a kiddie pool for my dogs last fall and they won't use it.
