My dog needs help, she loves being in shallow water, but flips her shit when her feet can't touch.

I don't really know the solution as all my dogs have been easy to get swimming. I would suggest maybe swimming with her and calling her to you. Either that or find a toy that she just has to have. With her condition, I wouldn't toss her in, as that might make her more afraid. It has to be her idea.

I bet swimming with her would work though. If she won't swim out to you, carry her out and hold her in the water until she relaxes, then let her swim back to shore.

Awesome Vid Mike.  Just letting her work it out.

Now bring her to the lake and we'll get her jumping full speed off the dock.

[Jimmy]

I've done both. Swimming out to me seemed to work the best, but after she swam to me and realized what she did, she freaked out, swam back to shore and cried until I came back and wouldn't do it again. When I throw a toy in the water, she just cries until it floats to her. Its a trip watching her though, she will lean out as far as she can while keeping her footing, then she'll take one step too far and her back legs just stick out to the side, her head sinks, and her tail starts flailing around.

Mike, swung by the pad yesterday afternoon, you were out. Saw the pup... got big!

[DILYSI Dave]

Jimmy - my dog is the same way.  He's half lab and is freaked out by deep water.

My schnauzer loves the water, almost too much. She likes to jump off the boat in the middle of the lake. Sometimes she heads straight towards the shore
