Dog's First Swimming Lesson Leads Him Back To Shore
You might think that all dogs are just natural born swimmer, but we would beg to differ. Take big ol’ Taiyo as an example. His owner, the maker of this video, TaiTiJi, says that the big Bernese Mountain Dog has been learning to swim for two years up to this point.
Taiyo seems a bit uncertain, as he walks in the water, but his owner is in the deep end and Taiyo really wants to be with him. After a brief consideration, the fluffy pooch gives in to temptation and starts...slapping the water?
What does he think he is doing? Does he think he should dig his way through to his favorite human? Or does he think that slapping the surface of the <a href="https://rumble.com/v5c90f-rescued-wild-dog-tries-to-bite-water.html" target="_blank">water</a> is the best way to cross the pond from one side to the other? Either way, it is both hilarious and frankly motivating to watch the big black dog overcome his fears.
Well, Taiyo might not be much of a swimmer, but he sure loves the great outdoors! Like, check out what he did when his owner took him out for a hike! When he sees the open field, Taiyo is so beside himself with happiness, that <a href="https://rumble.com/v30kxe-happy-bernese-mountain-dog.html" target="_blank">all he could do is zoom around and run in circles</a>! That is one happy dog right there.
Not all dogs love water. For this reason, many pet owners, instead of going dipping with their beloved pooch, are forced to dwell near the pond encouraging their four-legged friend to even move towards the water, one paw at least! To save the animal from stress, and the owner from getting an unwanted tan from waiting under the sun, it is necessary to gradually instill your dog with the love of swimming.
There is a belief almost set in stone that all dogs can swim instinctively. In fact, few people think that the statement was born long before the "fashion" for "unusual" toy dogs, and some breeds were just not made for swimming. From the point of view of evolution, yes, all animals can swim. As the joke goes:
- "What about hippos?
- “They just run down the bottom."
While most dogs really like to frolic in the water, others would bypass the reservoir in a large circle, coming perhaps from the same breed as the later.
But Taiyo is not one of them: not a scaredy-cat and definitely not a miniature lap dog breed. He is a strong brave dog who loves his owner so much he would mindlessly jump into the water just to get to him, despite the obvious dislike of swimming. So do not hold a grudge against this beautiful creature for changing his mind halfway. At least it really made us laugh!
Pets are love and pets are life. Whether you like them or not, you can’t deny the fact that they put some rainbow sprinkles on your day, figuratively speaking. All pets are wonderful, but if there is one species that is able to turn up the party, then it’s definitely our canine friends.
If you love dogs as much as we do, share this video on social media or tell us a story of your beloved four-legged pal in the comment section below. And remember: dogs rule!

Super Talkative Chihuahua Annoys Her Sister
This is how Umi asks her sister Sola to play, but obviously Sola is annoyed by the irritating high-pitched voice. Too funny!
The Chihuahua dog may be a tiny, noisy, annoying little creature for some, but for others it is a graceful, charming, and sassy little doggy. Worshiped by many women across the globe, the Chihuahua is a lapdog that can easily by carried around in a purse. Both Paris Hilton and Elle Woods in Legally Blonde made the breed super popular, by carrying their tiny companions in their pink purses everywhere they went.
Paris Hilton's Chihuahua Tinkerbell made tiny doggy accessories super popular (damn you unicorn horn!) and even wrote a book about her life tailing the famous Hilton celebutante.
Besides being affectionate housemates, Chihuahuas are intelligent and fast learners. They can compete in agility and obedience trials with just as much enthusiasm and success as larger dogs. That said, they're willful little dogs. You'll be most successful if you can persuade them that competing — or simply doing as you ask — is fun.
Use positive reinforcement in the form of praise and food rewards when training your Chihuahua, because they won't respond to harsh treatment.

Dog literally can't contain excitement for the outdoors
Every dog loves the great outdoors. Especially if you keep your dog in an apartment or a house with a small yard, when that dog sees a vast acreage, the wild in it wakes up and makes it wanna zoom around and spin in circles. And why wouldn’t it - every pup needs some good quality exercise.
When this adorable dog is brought to his favorite place, he totally loses it. Taiyo, the Bernese Mountain dog loves the outdoors - the clean air, the open space, all the meadows he can run through, it makes him feel free and alive!
Watch him run and zoom around the place in all his 98 pound glory! That is one happy dog and we can’t help but be happy for him! We only wish we could be there with him, to soak up all that positive energy.
Taiyo isn’t just a fan of the outdoors, he is a <a href="https://rumble.com/v30kyw-what-an-improvement.html" target="_blank">very good swimmer as well</a>! He used to be terrible at it, according to his owner, but he is improving greatly and now swims almost like a pro. Another thing he seems to love a lot is snow as well. When the first snow hit the ground where Taiyo lives, he did the that <a href="https://rumble.com/v30iw9-crazy-happy-snow-dance.html" target="_blank">same happy maneuver</a> you see in this video!
It is like watching a little kid with a new toy, it is so adorable!
