My dog loves to swim, but he hates the squirt bottle. When he misbehaves and barks my wife gets the squirt bottle. One look at that and he quiets down.

It took a week or so to get Rebel to swim of his own accord. This leads me to believe that perhaps it is all a matter of training and encouragement. Of course some breeds just don’t like water for good reason. My wife and I like to swim and that made things a lot easier. He wanted to swim out to us but was afraid at first. Once he got though, he would not only swim out to us, but would swim in circles.
