Clover doesn't like water :(

Don't worry! My lab mix who is 3 now, wouldn't swim for the longest time. HATED water, couldn't do ANYTHING to get her in.

For some reason, starting last year, we can't get her OUT of the water!! She will literally swim until she passes out... she loves it!

I suggest just giving her time. We praised Sydney when she would go in, and we didn't push the issue. I think what Karen said is right - she's a pup, has a lot to learn yet. I'm sure she'll come around! It might not be this year, but maybe next year? Don't worry

Thanks, I haven't really been making a big deal of it. I take her down by the beach every now and then and let her sniff around but she won't go in really. I'm hoping maybe next year!

Lots of dogs like carrots. Let her try them as treats. Get the baby carrots. Then you can put some in the little pool and maybe she'll like trying to get them out of the pool.
