Sheltie Puppy getting used to water

Please S U B S C R I B E to watch Precious grow : D

My 6 month old sheltie puppy named Precious never liked water or the sound of running water from the faucet when trying to give her a bath - everything about the experience of water made her tremble a little. We decided to go to the basics and let her play and grow more confident in the waters, to hopefully allow her experiences become only better from here on out. It always takes tedious hours with Precious, as she's reactive to a lot of things because of her small size, I try to do everything to make her as comfortable and happy as can be! Even if it means spending hours in the tub before hand (getting her to walk around in it was a great accomplishment, she use to stand frozen still!)

Though no swimming was involved on the first day, hopefully with time she'll feel more and more confident to walk and play around in water! Maybe by the time we hit the beach, she'd love the idea to try and get her feet a little wet there! Thanks for watching!

for some reason my sheltie loves drinking out of the faucet when i fill up her tub

@TheMonsters20 Hahaha may be she was thirsty :P Precious tries to drink, though not directly from the tap, the water in the tub lol! I have to remind her "no!", especially if we started the wash and there's soap in the water!

Great job for patience and calmness for it to like the water. It's so nice to know that there aren't people who would just "trow" them to a bucket of water without even taking small steps of it to get used to water :)
