Champ is almost 2 and had yet to be in water. The boys beg to have him come into the pool, but that's a definite NO! First who wants to deal with dog hair and a filter in addition the pool has a liner and Champ isn't a small dog. I'm not sure that will make for a good combination. We came up with a happy compromise....A trip to Jacobsurg Park. Being a retriever, he was a natural. The boys hiked with him up the creek about a mile and they found a few spots where Champ couldn't stand. We kept him on leash, since squirrels are his favorite thing to chase. He's becoming a good dog, just not sure how obedient he'd be with that many temptations around. The boys had a great time with him. Next time we'll bring a ball for him to retrieve and we'll give off leash a brief try.
