They should be kept calm for an hour after eating - if you are potting training, take them out on a leash, and then back inside for relaxing time, to give their food time to digest. You don't need to restrain them, just keep it calm after they eat. Make it into a habit, and it will service them well for life. This is true of many breeds that are large dogs with deep chests.

Oh, goodness, most Saints I have met or known LOVE the water - unless it is b-a-t-h-t-i-m-e.
