loki loves to swim and play in water , my girls though really dislaike it and prefer to stay on dry land. introduce him on leash , I know lokis 1st time out the minute he went past where he could reach he sank and it really shook him up, if its nice go in with him and pick him up so he cant touch so he learns how to actually swim. Its a misconception that all dogs know how to swim naturally , my moms dobi couldnt he would sink and not come up she had to go in after him the 1st time he fell off a dock. she had to get him a life vest for dogs and eventually she was able to teach him to swim lol , I found this hilarious that she had to give doggy swim lessons.
once he is used to it play fetch , throw a stick or tennis ball just dont go overboard they can get tired so keep the throws shorter for the first while.
we have indoor doggy pools here but i havent taken mine there , might be something to do if the weather isnt great and you want to try it out ?
and take pictures lol ,I love doggy shots in the water
