It's no secret that Westies aren't usually fans of water. But what does life look like with a Westie who is scared of (and angry at) water, while his humans are water fanatics?

Watch and find out! πŸ˜… (Warning: there will be some barking)

Let me know in the comments: is your dog a water lover or a water hater? ❀️

    My westie hated taking a bath as well. It helped if I made sure the water temperature was always comfortable. Westes love to be praised. I would tell my westie a 100 times during his bath that "You are such a good boy, such a good boy." It helped alot. You sure have a beautiful dog. The universe has greatly blessed you.

    Westies will drown if they flip over onto their back in a pool. It happens alot with westies. They are not made to swim.

    we took our westie puppy to kayak down the river. While swimming, she often walked along the edge of the side of the inflatable kayak and fell overboard 5 times. She saw green algae on the water and stood on it thinking it was just grass. Our dog was not tethered and without a life jacket. every time she fell overboard, I grabbed her with my hands and threw her onto the kayak. She does not like to swim, but she can go into the water to the level of her stomach to cool off.😊

    My westie loves water more than anything on the planet!!!
  • Aww Poor Sami 😞 Maybe Sami knows something about water that humans don't. My late Westie hated the water, too. I have a new Westie puppy and I was told by the people we got him from that he "froze" when he got his first bath. When I gave him a bath, I rolled up my pant legs and got in there with him and gave him treats while he was in there. Maybe do that with Sami? Pair it with something good so that he associates it with something good? But if that doesn't work, I wouldn't force it. It's stressful for him. Poor little guy. I know it's disappointing when they don't love something we love because we want to take him with us and all have fun together. β™₯

    My Westie Jack Russell cross loves water. He is a very good swimmer. Hello to Sami from Milo ❀
  • Both of my dogs love water. I have a trauma, German Rottweiler and a rescue mix. Love love the water good thing in a bad thing.
  • @user-gk9vf7de9v
    That's going to cause him to always be anxious and stressed being around water.
  • @juliejordan8083
    Sami you are just the cutest thing ever , our boy loves going to the lake , loves the boat and really loves the paddleboard , oops I mean his paddleboard . He will swim but doesn't choose jumping in all by himself. Keep up the good life guarding Sami
  • @iteedewanify
    This was so wholesome to watch! Our westie does the same ❀
  • @TRoseTheArtist
    LOLOLOLOL! @ Sami!! So precious! My 3 Westies loved to get in the water and got frustrated if they could not go swimming. But! One of my Westies did dive in the water to go after a snapping turtle in the river! I could not believe it! I had to watch mine to prevent them from getting into trouble. They are just hilarious dogs! πŸ˜‚

    My Westie actually loved the water, but she didn't like going into water deep enough where her paws were not touching the bottom. Occasionally, she would go into deeper water, but would turn around pretty quick. Actually I think she enjoyed the sensation of swimming and always felt pretty proud of herself, if only for that brief 10 seconds or so.

    My Westie liked the water. Baths and lake water mostly. I took her to Maine for her first swim. I went into the water and she followed me. She swam very well right away. I was so proud! I had everyone clap for her to encourage her. She was proud of her self and walked out to the shore with her head held high. Normally in walks she would wade into the water but wouldn’t swim unless I was in the water. I was amazed how she knew how to turn around in the water instinctively. I loved that dog. Just like kids I just think with lots of encouragement and praise they will swim. If you aren’t afraid they usually aren’t either. I say keep trying with Sami he’ll get it. ❀️He’s so cute! Mine. Didn’t really like the ocean, the waves are just too forcefully coming towards her. But it was ok when it was calmer water. Have his nails smoothed out after cutting. ❀ Also mine doesn’t have any hip or leg problems that may bother some swimming dogs?? Don’t give up!

    My Westie Winston understands the disdain Sami has for water. He’s been like this since he was a baby, I’m Thankful he won’t jump into our pool so I don’t have to worry about him.
