I was very excited when Ranger and I were invited to join a friend for a day of fishing and hanging out at a pond and hunting camp. I spent most of the morning trying my best to get Ranger to swim. I thought I would break the ice and throw him in off the dock. He didn't like this AT ALL. He would tease me by putting one or two paws in the water or even sitting in the water just off the bank, but NO swimming.
A new dog friend Bo joined us later that afternoon. Bo loved to swim and was fetching after every stick I threw out into the middle of the pond. I guess a few of them got away from him because as I turned my back, there was Ranger swimming out to get a twig Bo had left behind. I was so proud of him!
Now Ranger's resume includes...Sit, Shake, Speak and SWIMMING!
Ranger Swimming!
