Default dog swimming in sea

Hello

I like to swim in the sea, is it OK for my 1 year old Colly/lurcher dog
to join me. Yesterday I took him to to the sea, I walked out to about
my middle and he swam for his second time. He seemed to love it but at
the same time he seemed unsure. When ever I went back in he followed
but saying that he would follow me in to a fire.

What's the situation with dogs in the sea, is it safe fo them?

Darren

I would be be careful to dry the dog's ears.

hi,
My dog used to be scared of water! i told a trainer i wanted to get her
used to the water and she said "oh that's easy!" then dragged my
scarred baby (by the prong collar) into a kiddie pool. she talked to
her in a confident "Im the boss" tone.
what worked was encouraging my wonderful puppy with praise to follow me
into the water for play, no force at all. (and this was while i was
still using the prong collar) now she loves, loves, loves water! (even
icky dirty water) she will find water in the woods to go jump in and if
im driving by water and tell her about it she gets up to see lol. she
gets very happy at the word "swimmin"
she is not sure about actually swimming though she only did that once
and it was by accident. she jumped off the dock thinking the water
wasn't so deep...
im like a proud mom talking about my pup, lol, oh well :-)

Given that you had trainers this horrible, it makes sense that you've
cleaved to Jerry. Just know, however, that you truly had a crap trainer. I
don't know *anyone* (including trainers who use prong collars in their
practice) who would even think of doing something like this.

hi tara ,
thats good to know , if there arent many like her thats a good thing,
however she was very highly recommended, had wonderful, "german" gsd s
, did shows and all that:-( i think alot of trainers would drag my dog
to "get her started" becasue she would never do anything on her
own........ i taught her "1 2 3 out, good girl!" just to get out of my
car! she does not go for walks except in the woods, she was probably
traumatized during the first few trainers methods to enjoy it. i once
had a humane society person stop me on the side on the road becasue
starr looked so scared! but i was doing what the trainer told me to
do:-( she was just too nervous! i thanked her for caring enough to stop
though, even though it scared starr alot....
