you could try that, maybe it's different than (noisy) hose to them. as long as you don't force them anything. bring treats with you!! praise extra extra.

good luck, I'd like to know how it went.

I tried that with Molli and she hates water even more. She was good at swimming, but she doesn't like it. I would try letting them get in the water themselves, don't force them. Some dogs just don't like water and never will.
