Titan loves baths..but...w
hen it comes to ponds and oceans he doesn't like it....we have had two bad experiences, the first he was 5 months old and he fell through ice - luckily i had his leash...but he wouldn't listen to me and i couldn't pull him fast enough, it was one step and in he went...the second time was over this summer. He was heeling and so focused on me he went right into the water and didn't seem to realize it. He did GREAT!!! I was so proud of him, his first swimming and he did with flying colors..BUT...
then he saw a rock with the water bobbing over it, just as he saw the rock, a super loud boat took off behind him...and he associated the rock with noise..and that was the end of that. To this day he will not look at rocks...he turns his head, licks his nose, and will even run backwards. After that day, he gets sketched out by leaves, seaweed, and trash too....i just don't get it, we work with him all the time with it!!! We have huge rocks in our yard and he is fine...just not 'stranger' rocks lol
But with waves...yeah he is definily not keen on water choosing to get him wet....(although i can not get him out of the tub ever! In all hotel rooms, that is where he stays, he loves tubs for some reason! lol
