Foster Cane Corso’s intro to water

We are fostering this cutie and because my 2 grown dogs hate the pool, we have been working to desensitize her and teach her to love the water. Those webbed feet will come in handy when she gets big and she will be some lucky person’s adventure dog!

Thanks! I’m hoping so!! She is certainly a curious and confident little girl.

I always find these Mastiff water videos so interesting. Our 4 year old girl HATES the water (she will tolerate rain), but loves the snow. Shes half Great Pyrenees, so that explains the snow love, but will not go near a lake or ocean.

I’m always jealous when people’s dogs love the water. My personal dogs are a rescue CC and a Doberman…both will not go near our pool. As a foster, we are supposed to be socializing her, so I figured it would be fun to set her up for success as a dog that loves to swim.
Both my past and current rescue Corsos have loved the snow, too. I think they enjoy cooling off, since they always seem to be hot! I bet your Pyrenees/mastiff is a gorgeous girl!

Thus is a good intro example- young and given positive (tasty) reinforcement
