Dog shaking off water after dog swim

[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]Oh yes, oh yes! I, Pompe, CAN learn how to swim as well as Totte! Look at me go in this video!

I swim with ease through the water, no splashing, just smooth swimming out to the stick. A skillful turn-around in the water and then smooth paddling back to land.

I’m so proud of myself! It took a lot of practice to get to this point. In the beginning of the summer, I couldn’t swim at all! In the video on the post where Totte showed me how to swim, I didn’t dare to go into the water, and look at me now![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_video link=”https://youtu.be/gFXvQwze8Y0″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”1152″ img_size=”full” css=”.vc_custom_1517153388752{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]How many practice-sessions do you think it took me to become this good at swimming? Please leave your guess in the comment section. When there are 20 guesses, mama will post the answer in the same comment section.

Mama had thought that I would just know how to swim without practicing because I’m a Poodle and we are bread to be swimming water-retrievers, but oh was she wrong! Learning how to swim was a long time coming, I practiced a lot! My first step was to watch another dog swim, which you can see in the video in the post. The second step was to practiced swimming many times in Sweden and also in Finland, when we were there visiting friends in Rauma.

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Note from mama: Sweden is a great place to travel with your dog, especially in the summer. There is a lot of easily accessible nature and dogs are allowed in most types of public transport. Read more about traveling with a dog on the page Plan a Trip – Sweden.
