This is the cutest thing I have ever heard! I would search for a trainer who may help acclimate your pup to water. Once they aren’t terrified of water, I think their little puppy instincts will kick in.

My dog hated water too. But after a little training will swim for a ball, perfectly fine in a kayak and will walk on the shore like a little people. Still not a water dog, but pretty good.

Exactly. I just want her to get acclimated to water in a safe environment. So that if she comes on a kayak with me, I don’t have to worry about her freaking out.

Dogs know how to swim...some simply cannot. Either way a dog life jacket in the proper size is a good idea.
