Tintin can SWIM!

Today I took Tintin and Butter over to Izzy’s mom’s house so Butter could swim which as a Labrador Retriever is her most favorite thing to do in the whole world!  I know this because she has told me ;-)

The rescue Tintin came from specifically said that he was afraid of water.  I’ve had him in a couple of creeks, he jumps in my baby pool and I’ve given him a bath but I did not intend for him to do any more than get on the steps of the pool to keep cool.  I was throwing biscuits in the pool for Butter to dive in and get and boom, next thing I know, Tintin is in the pool and swimming like, well, like a Labrador Retriever!!!!


Rescue said he is afraid of h2o lol! on 12seconds.tv

I just barely had enough time to grab my cell phone and click the camera on to catch his (as far as I know) very first swim!  We had only one second of frantic pawing at the side before I managed to get on the steps and encourage him to keep swimming to me :-)

Fun with Dogs
by Creature Comforts
Since 1992, through my pet sitting business Creature Comforts, I have been providing pet care solutions tailored to individual animal needs in Lexington, Kentucky including vacation care, daily dog exercise options and specialized care for flighted parrots.

My emphasis is on using positive reinforcement and non-corrective based techniques to solve the basic problems people have with their dogs. Or rather, the problems dogs have with their people ;-)
