Today we took Tuvuk out to Big Lake and he was able to swim for the first time. The temperature was about 25 degrees, which is really cold for introducing a dog to water. As I have mentioned before, we do not have a choice, due to not having open water until June in Nome. He was a little leery at first but toward the end of the video you will see that he was all about it. I did not concentrate on obedience because I wanted him just to have fun and enjoy getting in the water. I used the glasses again and it turned out pretty well. If you have any questions or comments don't forget about the Q&A section I have posted to the blog.
Love it! However, he needs a doggy wet suit when it is 25 outside!
