Teaching them the way back out is arguably the most important step that people don't even think about.

I have a dog who seems to have a fascination with our pool. He'd drop his ball in it to watch it float around, and even get in at the top step to cool off. But we could not convince him to get in to swim at all-- until I saw this video. I did this once with him and we spent the rest of the swim session with him dropping his ball in the pool then running to the steps to jump in after it! Thank you so much for this, so simple but it improved my dog's quality of life.

He presents training in 7 days. Each of 7 items are commands that he believes a dog should know. They are presented in part ii of the book kzfaq.infoUgkxK8-VQWpYThx4IC6MiIvb6VS1ebTzzdxq . The parts of the guideare divided: part i know your dog part ii the seven commands part iii cures for 7 behavior problems. Each chapter presents a topic, a dog's story, and a "what to do". It was written simply and you can jump from chapter to chapter to review anything as needed.

I really like how this pool has this entry level. Extra good for dogs/children.

As a dog trainer I can say that the reason that this man is so valuable to the dog training community is because he doesn't overcomplicate things. He did nothing here...all he did was encourage and compel the dog into the water in a safe and trustworthy way. That's it. No, "MAGIC WAY TO GET YOUR DOG TO SWIM IMMEDIATELY" bullshit. He just guided the dog into the water. That was it. Never before had this family even considered...making their dog get in the water in a safe depth. That's all it took. This simple concept, when applied in other areas, can CHANGE OWNER'S LIVES. Love it! Keep it up!

My Golden Retriever’s problem is that he won’t get out of the pool! He seriously thinks that he’s some kind of Merdog and loves to lounge in the shallow end! He drags his toys, food bowl, and doggie bed into the pool too! Yep, our beautiful Golden Retriever self-identifies as a Gold Fish and my son (those two are inseparable) has become AquaBoy! Good times😅

I can confirm this works. Truly amazing. My dog jumped in on her own in about 6 minutes. I have been trying to get her in for years! Thank you!

This just changed Sage’s whole life! And she’s gonna sleep like a rock after this. Omg. What a cool thing to watch. Love Dog Daddy ❤.

My dog was taught to swim by the most obedient Rottweiler I have ever seen. A polish woman near me had a Rottweiler trained so well Cesar Milan would ask for tips if he met the dog, the woman got the rotty to play with my dog, then kept having the Rottweiler jump in and out of the water until my dog joined her. Now Daisy loves the water to.

Sage is so beautiful and obviously adored. ❤How wonderful to see her overcome her fear!

This is wonderful. Using light pressure, but insisting on showing the dog 1 time that it is safe, encouraging it, but letting it choose, then showing the way out, then progressing through the steps of going in more independently. Subtle differences that rapidly changed everything. Beautiful work.

Hi there ! I honestly thought your videos are staged somehow... but now i see the truth. U understand their psychology. Watching you train the dogs is fascinating. U make dog's lives and people's lives happier. A blessing indeed. Sending love from Romania

I did this in the Mississippi River the exact same way. It's amazing how it builds a different level of confidence in a dog to be able to swim. Getting them to use their back legs is a hilarious transition.

I swear this young man is the best I have ever seen at training dogs. By FAR.

“I was peeing” 🤣🤣 This was great to watch, I was smiling & giggling every time Sage did her thing. Augusto you are the bestest in the worldest! 😃👍

Love love that guy. His book contains some of the easiest instructions to follow to get the best results kzfaq.infoUgkxKkYeOoCV_w2vPX0CSyVWkhew2c4FYk0d . I have two 7 month old schnoodle puppies. They will sit, down, stay, no, leave it. Walk on a leash and more. I trained them not to crowd the door and dash out. Just follow his methods and use a lot of patience. If you have watched his tv show, you get a really good idea how to do a lot of the stuff in the guide. What you don't see on tv is how much time he really spends doing those easy things. All i can say is if you put in the time and patience and hundreds of repeititons, you will enjoy a really well behaved dog.

Wow, this moved me to tears !!! THANKS for the great healing work you do !!! So much freedom and life quality for the girl !!! mmmh, my labrador girl loved swimming, too. Lots of love to everyone reading along, from Germany, Astrid Eta Anja

I taught my dog to swim similarly, it took a few days instead of minutes though. Any time she would panic I would let her go back, but if she was just a little hesitant, I would put pressure on the leash and encourage her forward. Also splashing the water seemed to distract her from the fear for some reason :D

Oh man, I bet the first time Sage jumps in the pool on a very hot day she will be so grateful to you 🤩

I was always facinated with people who have a cerain type of energy that even the most aggressive, scared, and all around bad behavior is thrarted by the person,this guy is definately one of those guys.

Remarkable! What a great trainer he is, to get Sage to overcome her fear of water.

The first time i took my rescue gsd to a pool fot hydrotherapy, she thought we were trying to drown her. On the 3rd session, i let her go in and watch my other gsd swim. When she saw how much he enjoyed it, something clicked in her brain, she realised it was fun, and from then on she loved swimming ❤

What other dog trainer gets in someone’s pool. This guy is so practical, shows her the way out and that it’s safe. He doesn’t just throw her in the deep end like the owners were trying.

your the absolute best! i’m so shocked she went in and mom was shocked too! thank you for helping us bestie😘

Just amazing. So nice to see that black lab get over its fears and realize how much fun the water is!

Lol my dog is the opposite, when he realizes we are on a path that leads to any body of water he's seen before, he gets super excited and starts pulling hard on the leash to get to river/pond/lake. Letting the leash go he just sprints at max speed towards the water and does like a 9 foot jump into it. It's really hard to get him back out actually.

Thank you Dog Daddy for all you do for our canines. You're amazing and we are very grateful for people like you in the world.

Omg this worked! After months of trying and giving up when my dog pulled away I finally persevered and she swam! Twice! Thankyou!!

So wonderful! Thank you! Training and patience. No yelling or shaming! It works!❤

It's so nice to see how much love this baby is getting

Awesome. You helped her overcome her fear and showed her how to get out. Perfect and fun!

I have a black lab and he’s learned so much from just using encouragement and praise for his attempt! He’s so much less fearful by just cheering him on♥️ he’s also obsessed with his ball

The laughter behind the camera just adds to the goodness here! ❤

Just found your channel, I love your work! I hope ppl understand how much better you just made that dogs life!! I've owned rescues all my life, it has taken little more than time, patience, attention and direction for both my dogs and I to become our best selves, together. EVERYONE should know that kind of love! Cheers to you, mate!

I just tried 30 minutes ago this tactic and he came to the first step and first step only. He refused to go to the second step, and I didn’t want to force him. Going to try again tomorrow: wish me luck! 😁✊🏻 Edit: The second day he came to the first step much quicker. He still didn’t want to go down to the second, so my method now is to let him launch into the water from the first step. Edit: He went to the first step without the leash guiding him!! He still didn’t want to go in any farther but my dad picked him up and bobbed him up and down like a baby 😂 I’ve decided to be done with him swimming this year, but next year we will try again!

This makes so much sense! My dog used to hate water but we went to the beach and she followed me in a few times and now she just loves the beech and going into the water! This video is amazing. Sage is such a good girl.

What a grace of God on you for training the dogs!! God bless you!

I've watched so many but this one wow DD just made all the fear go away and made it all fun and no scares ❤️

❤️❤️❤️it!!! Plus the pool is wonderfully made so when pets fall in accidentally they can get out. Kudos to the designers and who made that pool👍

Dog Daddy is the best dog trainer I’ve ever seen! He really understands how dogs think. Amazing video!

I usually end up crying when I watch your videos. You stir so many powerful memories and emotions. Thanks for all you do for dog lovers.

I think humans and dogs have so much in common. xD We are also afraid to jump for the first time, but once we learn its safe and fun and we get to experience it, we have no problems jumping again.

So happy making. I love how Sage is wagging her tail after the first try. Dogs are soooooo smart. So are you Dog Daddy.

This man is truly gifted!

I no longer have a dog but I love to learn simple methods like this for dog training.Absolutely golden advice right here.I will pass forward this knowledge to all my dog family friends.thanks brother

This video expresses your more intimate side, more than any video I've seen. Your such a sweet soul.

Lots of smiles watching this lesson! Thanks ❤🎉😊

Omgosh..I’m watching cheering Sage along as Dog Daddy teaching her his amazing training. Can you imagine that first moment Sage thought “I love the pool!!!!” When Dog Daddy went under the water first time, Sage was circling the pool already looking concern for him. The bonding and trust between them happen so quickly. Boy, this exactly shows how much Dog Daddy’s training techniques are so effective! “Success!!!!” Thank you Dog Daddy for helping dogs and families around the world! 🥹😎👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I know I know I’m two years late but yesss this is what I needed!!! We go to our vacation home that has a pool and my dog isn’t too scared of it but she still won’t go past the second step. I will use this knowledge!

I don’t even have a dog but I support this dude. I’ve had many and worked at a vet. This dude is the truth

This was fantastic 👏 like watching a baby for the first time going into the water 💧 😀 God bless you dog daddy 👨 ❤️

Вот, что значит специалист, чувствует животное с кем работает. И как быстро между ними происходит коннект. Браво мастеру. 😅

I don't have a dog but I always watch your videos and I'm delighted to see how you help them overcome their barriers of fear!! Someone else? 🐩💕

Again, I cry. You have given the family and their baby a new world of fun.

Such a quick transformation! ...incredible.

As usual - bloody brilliant! And as you said, make sure they know how to get in and out of the pool. ❤

The reason I see that this is a thing is because she isn't afraid of the water, it's because they've accidentally taught her to show fear of the water, and their reinforcement and gullibility of that behaviour is why they could never get her in the water. Dog daddy understands dogs past their taught behaviour and can coax out natural dog behaviour and obedience. This is such a relief to watch!

This man needs cloning. Can you imagine how many different kinds of people he meets and helps. I truly appreciate you so much for helping so many dogs and people around the world

I was very impressed with your work in this video! Great job Sage 👏

Esse menino não existe!!! Vou pedir pra ele tirar meu trauma de entrar numa piscina!!!! Amei😮😮😮😮😊😊😊😊😊

I love how they did that pool with the table so you can set your drink on it while swimming. Happy for the pupper to be able to enjoy it and cool off with the family.

Thank you for helping humans to better understand the psychology of dogs ❤

This was absolutely amazing!!! Great job. Good dog! So happy for everyone here. ❤❤❤

Wow! That is awesome! I am going to try to get my dog in the pool. She is scared just like this dog!

I love how the family loves their pup.

Seen your shorts, but this was just great. A Lab now swimming is pure gold.

Yah! I was cheering for Sage from my sofa in the UK🇬🇧

Training also takes empathy. You got it, dude. Nice work.

you're absolutely right. At the very point most would give up is when she jumped in. Brilliant 💖💖

Truly god sent to help with these animals ....dog daddy your very much loved and appreciated back sweetie🙏🙏🙏🙏💕💕💕💕

❤he’s the dog daddy. He is constantly explaining everything but you’ll need to record it and play it back slowly and transcribe it by hand, and even then, you’ll never do what he does because he is magic.

Teaching her safely is so important! Your family ricks, as does dog daddy!

Wow great work👏. All the dogs I’ve seen u work with just seem to love and trust your presence. U have a fantastic aura. I Only found your channel yesterday but I can’t get enough. It’s like u dissolve their fears as soon as they see you.

You can also put a chair near the steps so that they see it when they’re at the water level that works. Also great job bravo my dog went in with other dogs and then from there forward there was no problem.

This is a great video. You did a great job helping sage overcome her fear.

It was good seeing you having fun. I know you truly love your job.

I got so much joy from this. Wonderful to see and Sage will so benefit.

I like how she goes all the way around to her step off she wants to go on she does it every time that's great she knows where it's at too

This was incredible. So adorable both of you.

Notice Saige always enters the pool at the same point... She exits at the exact same point as well. Creature of habit.

This makes me cry like a baby.... this family loves this dog and has a beautiful pool, which the dog, sadly, is afraid of ----and within minutes she has discovered a fantastic new thrill, THE POOL!!! Hooray! (Although, now, the family's problem will be keeping her OUT of the pool.)

In almost every instance, people unwittingly transmit their tension to the dog. This causes the reluctance in the dog, or exacerbates it. As we saw at the beginning when the guy tried to get her to go into the water. He was already nervous because previous attempts had failed. And as soon as the dog tried to back away, he let her. But you don't. You exude confidence, and the dogs pickup on it. It's what makes them feel safe. Training the owners not to transmit their fear, or their tension when the dog shows fear, is really what allows this to work. As you have shown us hundreds of times. This particular dog is now going o be leading its best life. Able to enjoy the pool without being afraid. Well done. Very well done.

But it’s so cute how she always uses the step!

You are an incredible young man! Keep up the great work!!

That was such a joy to watch. I have never seen a lab that did not like water. You taught him the pleasure . Well done

Omg how amazing you are Dog Daddy!! I have no idea how anyone can question your type of training and say it's anything but AWESOME!!

Don’t know why this guy gets so much hate on tiktok. When you see this, you see how loving this guy is. You really can’t judge someone off of a min video.

Dog Daddy he’s so good . Good bless him . x

That was fun to see. This is how I taught my poodle to swim, and now I can’t keep him out. I so enjoy watching you teach the dogs confidence.

YOU are so amazing DD.

That was awesome 👏🏻 great job Dog Daddy ❤

I love watching Dog Daddy work, sometimes it takes a while, not this time, it was only seconds. So nice to watch!

You’re so likable. I’m learning so much, thanks for making these videos.

Cute. I get in first too to encourage my pup to come in. It works well.

They'll never keep her out of that pool now! 😁

This is great! When you take into account that Labs are water dogs-they actually have webbed feet-this is fantastic to getting Sage over that fear!

This guy is full of so much joy! Love it!

You are such a Gifted young man💕

Awesome job! I’d like to see this done in a regular pool. One without the large shallow area. Cuz that’s what I have to work with lol
