Awesome video of LABparents trying to teach their Yellow Labrador Retriever, Jack, how to not be afraid of the water. After some coaxing and showing Jack how it needs to be done, he is one Wet and Happy Labrador.
My Chocolate did too right off a boat launch after a duck at around 3-4 months…..scared herself so badly she didn’t swim again till she was 13 months…..then only by accident after that you can’t keep her out of the water….but wet grass or rain forget it lol. Only goes to prove they maybe natural swimmers but fear can be a bad thing even for our Lab Babies!
too funny. our 4 month old jumped into a very chilly lake this past weekend (chasing a rock that was being skipped). she had no idea what she was doing, thankfully the autopilot kicked in and she was able to swim back to shore. (saving us from going in after her) 🙂
So cute! Yeah Jack.
I had to teach my Lab Kostas how to swim. He did not want to go in the water and swimming did not come naturally for him. To this day he won’t go in unless there’s a Kong floatie to go chase/retrieve.
Teach a lab to swim? Pray tell what happened here?
My lab jumps in the water after everything from balls to frisbees to humans. I can’t keep him out. Then in the ocean he dives right in – and rides the waves naturally – I’m not seeing a need to coax a lab to water ever . . . . I suppose it happens from negative experiences when young but my problem is keeping my Lab out of water! He seesa sprinkler and 30 seconds later he’s soaking wet . .
Yeah Jack ! Had to the same thing at a local lake with our black lab, Rico. Only he climbed up on DH’s head when he got out to him in the lake. He was ok after that.
My black lab Tahoe was just like that. He sunk to the bottom of our pool. My husband had to bring him. He held his breath the whole time. But he is a great swimmer now. Had to take to Lake Tahoe a couple of times
Made me lol to scroll down, reading the posts as I went I read the one above this one – it was a story on the snow we’ve been getting in the northeast and how they got over 2 ft in up state NY, very next post is yours asking “Enjoying some pool time this weekend?”…. we wish!!! OH HOW WE WISH!!
I love the video ! My chocolate lab still not swimming in the pool, I am afraid the chlorine maybe bad for her skin or eyes…. is it safe? Or do you have a salt water pool?
Fabulous video!!!! We had to teach our yellow Lab, Miss Lady, to swim also. To this day though, she won’t jump off the side, she’ll only go down the steps and then back up to get out. She’s a real “Lady”. Lol.
that is great. My yellow just dove right in
that’s a riot! You can tell that he trusts his LABparents!
soo cute !! both our yellow labs dove straight in – but red and chocolate both needed some coaxing x x
that was too cute! you’d never get our dogs out of the pool

That made me smile 🙂 My yellow lab loves swimming in dams and at the beach, but is a bit reluctant to jump into a pool for some reason.
I taught all my Labs how to get out of the pool using the ladder!!
Great video
So cute
this made me cheer and smile,, thank you.
GREAT VIDEO!!!

Made my day! so cute!
And you taught him at his pace, you didn’t force the issue, excellent teaching.
This is too cute!
that’s the way it’s works!!!
Mine needed no instruction…she has gotten very good at diving down to the bottom of the deep end, all by herself!
What a fun video
I laughed so much when he finally followed her into the water lol
I love this xxx
