Scottish Terrier loves to swim. I didn't teach him to swim he just ran up the ramp and jumped in. What I did do was teach him how to get out. That's the first thing you need to teach a dog. The second thing is that I keep a life vest on him till he's done swimming. He's never left unattended and when they're done swimming, I take the ramp down. That goes for my Airedale as well. Although he's much larger and can stand in the pool he's never left unattended as well. Oh and they're indoor dogs. Don't get a dog if you're going to leave him in the yard or tie him up. They love being with their humans.
