Too Funny ! Mack is afraid of the Ocean

I think this is his first experience with the ocean, I hope that the more we encourage the water the more he will want to enjoy it.

...... Is he scared of water too, or just the ocean. I remember Jen really didn't like the waves until she got used to them. ( Now she jumps through them with me! )

Im not sure right now, Havent tested him in a lake as of yet.
He loves to drink out of the hose, although doesnt like to get sprinkled with the water.

I honestly believe that it is simply the waves, because once the tide started backing off , he wanted to get close to the water. He still wouldnt get in it, but kept going for it.

Aww the big scaredy mush needs hugs. He'll probably warm up to it soon enough. With Autumn I had to go out a good lenght and then she came in the water because she didn't want to be left behind.

i think most dogs are scared of the water... at least at first! or at least that's been my experience. unless of course, you are talking about the water dog breeds - spaniels and such/

I think your right , If we all had gotten in the water , then I think he would have wanted to come in, but someone had to take the pics, lol

Although we took turns trying to bring him in the water. We even used treats, he wasnt fooled. Very interested, but not this time.
