Teaching Our Puppy How To Get Into The Pool!

Let me know what you guys think! Spot is doing so well! What else would you like to learn?

[@kingkiller9803]

Are u ever making a new tv show. Please I love them

[@twistyrose]

haha that end shot looks like spot was trying to wag his tail at the same time lol

[@vivssword9719]

I loved it. Any chance of a video on how you are potty training him or is he even in the house?? Desperate new puppy owner here. I love the way you show how to train and explain in the videos.

A new show where you help people and their dogs would be awesome :-)

[@zotteke1991]

I love that we're raising puppies at the same time. You keep showing me all the things I'm introducing my pup to also :D. Its striking how you teach dogs to get out first. My mom can teach any kid how to cycle in no time. She doesn't hold the cycle, she teaches them how to stop safely. Put your foot down! So they have the confidence to start cycling, they're not afraid to fall.

[@Kap00rwith2os]

I wish I learned that way, it would have been a lot less traumatic.

[@zotteke1991]

@@Kap00rwith2os yeah! I tried for like a year by holding my kids saddle how to get them to cycle. My mom taught that same kid in 30 minutes. I then said she can teach all 5 of them haha. The fastest one did it in 10 minutes at 7yo.

[@queenofstitcheswarrior2668]

Well said👍🏻 That’s how my mom teaches riding a bike to, now thinking about it and it’s for a good reason indeed

[@queenofstitcheswarrior2668]

Kap00rwith2os Haha i was thinking the same! I got stuck under a matt when learning how to dive as a child, it was traumatic. It took forever to get out so it felt, like stuck under ice and you cannot find the hole😝 But in the end i was not affraid and got a, B , c and rescue diploma. The only thing i have now is i’m affraid of deep dark water, bathofobia😂🤷🏻‍♀️

[@scotttower8213]

@@CesarMillanOfficial My dog swims like a rock. He can't swim for some reason. How can i teach him to swim? I've tried everything i can think of.

[@its_Today_]

@@scotttower8213 Have you tried supporting him underneath like Cesar did in this vid, until your dog gets his water balance? Perhaps invite a dog friend or 2 who comfortably swim along would also build encouragement.. That’s how my rescue girl learnt, by watching other dogs..she was about 5 years old, terrified of everybody/everything EXCEPT others dogs.. I used other ppl’s dogs A Lot in her rehab to build her confidence.. she’s pretty fantastic now but took a lot of patience Good luck :-)

[@cathleenbaldwinmaggi2252]

I wish more people understood that you need to do this with your children too, even infants can learn.

[@Kristene.L]

That is such a smart thing to do. If he knows how to get out he can be safe. Love you Cesar

[@Dana-e2d]

That was so cool! He remembered after only going to the tile ONCE that he could get out of the pool entirely! Loved it! Now he is SAFE if he ever falls in accidently!

[@missclimpson]

One of the most impressive things about Cesar’s teaching is his patience. Most people would quit because the puppy seemed scared of the water or they would get anxious. Cesar understands the need for repetition and patience until the dog can become calm and learn something new.

[@lisha2504]

You’re inspiring Cesar. Great job spot. He’s so adorable ♥️

[@TheMarnaiz]

When I was teaching my children how to swim, the first thing they learned was how to turn around and hold onto the edge of the pool so that if they ever fell into the water, they would automatically turn around and cling on to the side. Cesar, I really love your techniques. You're a beautiful human being and those dogs are so lucky to have you in their lives.

[@Drotord]

My dog loves to swim, but he drinks water while doing so. To the point where he throws up and then continues swimming. I cant let him swim on the beach because then he gets really sick. How can i teach him to no drink water while swimming

[@paulblaser4146]

Dan R as soon as he’s starts to drink it, remove him from it. Allow him to calm down and try again. When he doesn’t drink it, let him swim or provide praise and rewards. This will take a hell of a lot of patience, but you must remain calm and never over react in times of frustration. This would be the first thing I’d try, but realise you will have to do it often and repeatedly for him to learn and make it a natural behaviour.

[@catjustine10]

Dan R Maybe try to redirect his attention to a food/ treat while he swims in the pool so that he'll keep his head up. Try to say "head up" as he tries to understand what your trying to do until he associates "head up" with the food/treat that your holding up in front of him as he swims. When he follows through, feed him the food/treat and give praise such as good boy as a positive reinforcement. Try a couple of times with food/treat along with "head up" command, then try without food/ treat but still speak the "head up" command with your hand gesture going up. Make this a way for him to exercise his mind and body everyday. If you notice his not being attentive the first time, try doing this at a much shallow part of the pool and let him sit while you're training him to follow your hand gesture "head up" with food/treat. Then try bringing him back to the water and see if he'll remember the command. Do a back and forth between shallow part of the pool and while he's swimming until he gets it. I hope you both have a successful training and bonding :)

[@haileywhite9588]

I’m definitely not a dog trainer but if you took him away from the water when he does that and gave him water from his own bowl then he might eventually learn that is where he drinks

[@AnnainAwe]

I think I would try an inflatable innertube that could serve as an inflated collar. Depending on the size of your dog perhaps an innertube intended for a garden wagon wheel. I envision the inner tube being so buoyant that he cannot dip his mouth into the water for lapped. I don’t imagine it would be necessary forever, i’m thinking it would only be necessary long enough for him to enjoy swimming without vomiting a few times. THAN I think I would try some of the other suggestions offered above.

[@veraopdebeek9183]

@@AnnainAwe they exist for babies. Floating collars.

[@jamedraa8472]

This lesson is so important. My friend's sister was awakened by 3 (of her 4) rottweilers barking under her bedroom window. The 4th was in her pool, in the deep end, tired from trying to keep his head above water. She ran outside & was able to get him out.

[@nomadiavan6560]

Love you Cesar.. You’re an animal hero ❤️

[@tinad.5752]

Yes I’m just seeing this for first time. Lol Absolutely loved this! Cesar you’ve helped me train all my dogs! Finally got a ESS(Springer) pup that actually didn’t become a pool monkey on its own so came here for help. I didn’t want to do anything that might traumatize my girl. As always brilliant! P.S. I’m not a huge social media person. During Covid I gave in a bit and was shocked how many haters you have. I’ve been with and researched dog trainers/dog psychologists. And you have never steered me wrong. Biggest most asinine things ppl say about you is you’re mean and dominance in a pack is not a thing.🤯 These ppl make me lose faith in humanity at times. Anyhoo I can’t afford you, my mom considered it 😅 but have been able to with your help and sometimes with trainers like you have 3 amazing dogs. Also I dogsit with confidence multiple dogs at a time because of you! You won’t see this especially cuz of how long this is but that’s okay. I just wanted to TY! I will always recommend you!❤

I have had Chihuahuas almost my whole life (50 now) They are quick learners! It doesn't hurt that they have Cesar for a coach.

[@curly.e]

Honestly this is very helpful puppy series so far, especially for someone who’s thinking on getting a first time puppy :)

[@ROTTK9]

many years ago ( 7+) when I was teaching my dog to get over the fear of water, I watched a discovery channel video to see if there was a better way and figured out I was the problem and the solution. the crazy idea of not being frustrated with the dog or myself and just let the dog want to be in the water because her favorite toy was there, I got a 25 foot lead left the dog at the shore and just walked in and had a good time with her ball within a few minutes she was in to get her ball and before she could get back to shore I just called her to bring the ball back to me and tossed it back towards the shore a few times. she got over her fears that day and never needed a leash to go in. soon I watching the whole series and learned a lot, thanks Cesar

[@Skafiskafnjak51]

So simple yet so powerful. Beautiful, he got it straight away ! so cute

[@Helen-us1ly]

That was so marvelous to see how you did that.Sophia was the lifeguard. She wasn't there for her benefit she was there if she was needed.

[@TrailBaby]

You also see that as she causally walks away as he gets out of the pool. At first I kinda thought she was a distraction and wanted to play with him. Best to just be patient, Personally I would have jumped too quick on her interrupting the training session without realizing her intent.

[@marciahenry3893]

You are amazing, Cesar . 😊 all your energy is a marvel. ❤

[@kathyclark8274]

That was great, Cesar, so foresighted of U to teach them how to get out safely FIRST!

this is awesome! question for you cesar: how do you know if you've exercised your dog enough? you touched on it here (with spot's chest breathing and panting), but i would love to watch a video on some signs of exhaustion/too much exercise vs. too little exercise - i'm a runner/hiker/biker and want to make sure i condition my future dog appropriately!!

[@noellebrown1665]

I watched this and the video about the GSD you did a few years ago. I just tried a combo of the 2 videos today with my 7 month old Aussie and a half hour later she was jumping into the pool after me and swimming all around on her own. Thanks for the good tips!!!

This is so great to show. I always remember a show a few years back on adopting a dog. A dog was chosen for the person. On that episode, they chose a boxer. He had never been around a pool before. And they wanted to see if he’d be ok. Well the boxer jumped in while they were talking. And he didn’t know what to do. He sank to the bottom like a rock. And this was on the deep end. The host had to jump in after the dog. After that the swimming lessons started. 🤪

[@christrinder1255]

I love this! My son in Florida has a great dog, but Olive, that’s her name, is around 10 now and never got in their pool! She also always barks initially when someone gets in the water, as though worried about us being in the pool. There are shallow steps into the pool, and Olive is a big, very bright dog, if she got in she’d definitely be able to exit the pool easily. I’m sorry he never really tried to get Olive in the pool . Lots of dogs love to swim and cool off.
