The pool can be a training environment too.
New surfaces, moving water, toys, excitement, people nearby… there’s a lot for a dog to process.
That makes it a great place to practice simple skills like:
🐾 Recall
🐾 Waiting before jumping in
🐾 Checking in with the handler
🐾 Coming back down after excitement
Training doesn’t have to stop when the fun starts. In fact, that’s often where the most useful practice happens.
Need help taking your dog’s skills outside of the usual training setting? That’s something we love working on. DM us to get started.💙
