Steps to train a dog to swim:

1. Choose an appropriate place. When you first start taking your dog to swim, you should choose a shallow water place to facilitate teaching.

2. Safety is the most important thing. Before letting the dog into the water, the dog should be tied on a leash.

3. Use toys to lure the dog to practice in shallow water. When swimming for the first time, the owner should accompany the dog to the shallow water to let it get used to activities in the water.

4. The owner can put his hands on the dog’s abdomen to support it and give it enough support. The dog will soon calm down.

5. When the dog can stay calmly in the water, the owner can hold the toy and induce the dog to swim forward step by step, so that it can slowly adapt.

6. When the dog is used to swimming in the water, you can take it to swim in deep water.

Things to note when training:

1. Train your dog when it is quiet, because it is difficult to get involved when it is excited.

2. Be sure to buy food or toys that the dog likes to lure the dog.

3. The best time to train a dog is when it is very young.

4. When you first start training, make sure there are no other big dogs or small dogs around, because your dog may attack them.
