Cute beagle's first time swimming

We took Oliver to a swimming pool for the very first time! Watch as he decides whether he wants to go into the water or not...

[@marcelorosa1973]

I liked the balloons with “Oliver’s thoughts”.

[@marysheeran519]

They are cute, but the second time I watched the video, I tried not to read them - perhaps too many? - and just look at Oliver. Although the "sinking feeling" quip is hilarious! I'm wondering if Oliver might take to the water better a second time? Now that he's been? Although I'm sure his dads don't want to push Oliver into doing something he really doesn't want to do - this time, it was just trying to help him like the water, and the raft was a thoughtful insight. I thought Oliver was brave and thoughtful, too...and glad to be back on land with his ball. But another time, maybe? I understand that beagles don't naturally take to water, which is surprising. Our dog loved water (although hated baths) and would leap into streams nearby on a hot summer day. It was hard to get her to come home.

[@TheSoftballstar1261]

I love that too 🤣. Way too hilarious 🤣

[@barrya.6212]

Yeah, like the "No way"! as he trots away from the pool edge... and "mayday mayday" once he's out too far !

[@deew7014]

[@OlivertheBeagle]

lol this is too funny 😂

[@sirynx]

:D

[@gogosylvia293]

Having a beagle myself, I was skeptical about this. "No way" is right! My guy doesn't care one bit if treats are involved, he is not going in or on the water. Kudos to brave Oliver! 👏 👏👏

[@OlivertheBeagle]

I was surprised that Oliver was even willing to get his paws wet! Beagles definitely aren't sea creatures!!

[@skiidahonorthsouth]

My 2 year old Beagle loves the small lakes and streams. Me: "No, do NOT jump in the lake! Beagle: Ker-splash!😊 Tolerates baths but goes full blown zoom-Beagle when done.

[@pamelaz.7659]

My 2 yr. old beagle must be a diva. If it's too hot, too cold, or too wet outside you'll find her under a comforter sound asleep. But kudo's to Oliver for his great sense of adventure.

[@simonorourke4465]

My parents have a 12 year old female Beagle Dachshund cross and she absolutely loves being bathed she loves getting wet. They also used to have a female Beagle saint bernard cross who passed away aged 16 and you couldnt get her near water she absolutely hated it.

Oliver always listens, 'thinks' and observes everything very carefully, especially, if something is new for him, but he is always extremely patient - awesome.

[@robertacolarette1594]

Oliver is so cute. He was trusting enough to step onto the float completely even if it was for a treat. Then he stood there for some floating and gliding, even though he looked frozen. His temperament is exceptional considering he didn’t really want to get out there and was happy to get off. Maybe he will enjoy the water someday with such gentleness and patience from his owner. I love watching him.

[@yourboikermit5074]

Oliver probably thought “Water you doing?”

[@OlivertheBeagle]

[@ivelissediaz9583]

[@johnfauvergue707]

I love how Oliver's tail is poised like a sword when he is thinking. My lab mix tail forms the curved part of a question mark by his rump when he is contemplating something.

[@OlivertheBeagle]

That's a great observation! I love how Oliver's tail registers his mood in this video--it's up when he's hopeful and expecting a treat, and it's down when he's on the float/raft and thinking "oh, no, what is happening to me now!"

[@jamiecrawford8133]

Be patient Dad.....a few more treats and perhaps a solid raft instead of the spongy inflatable one. We started that way with Rufus and he grew to love the water. Once I filled the tub and had to answer the land-line...Rufus wasn't in the tub yet. After the call I went looking for him and found him sitting in the tub with a squeaky toy.

Amazing, Oliver always brings beautiful memories back. The last Cocker Spaniel usually didn't like water too much - in a pool, a lake or even in the bath tube. ... But then, in Italy at the beach, I just went deeper into the sea. After a moment, he just followed me, first very carefully, but then he had a lot of fun. He probably discovered the first time that he can swim. ... Suddenly water was no problem any more, and he was not scared at all. And now - I miss him, but Oliver always makes that easier - thank you, 'CS' from Germany. 😉🙋‍♀️
