Even though school has started for many of the Western states, the temperatures outside still say that it's summer. August is typically a humid and hot month in most regions of the country, and nothing beats escaping that kind of weather like a dip in the pool, a splash in the lake, or a swim in the ocean. Why not bring your dogs along to cool off? Just make sure that they know how to swim.
In a community survey, leading pet-sitting community DogVacay found that 40 percent of dogs don't like going in the water. Some heavier breeds don't even know how to swim, a dangerous fact that many pet owners do not know. Even if your dogs were able to swim when they were younger, that does not mean that they still know how; many breeds lose their swimming skills as they age. These facts have led to thousands of pets losing their lives by drowning each year.
Alleviating anxiety
Although many dogs have anxiety about going in the water, there are many things you can do to help them cope with this fear. Safety, of course, is your number one priority. If you own a heavier breed that cannot swim, do not try to force the activity on them. You may only end up hurting them in the end. Pit bulls, for example, are not water-friendly dogs. Without a flotation device, they will sink to the bottom of a pool or lake instead of floating on top of it.
If your dogs simply have an aversion to water, there are other ways of making them come around to the idea of swimming. First, make sure that you get life vests for them. This will allow them to float, which can be a good first step in alleviating their fears. Start off in a shallow area that is nice and quiet. This will help your pets focus on the activity.
If your dogs panic when in the water, one thing they may do is inadvertently run out into deeper areas. To keep them from doing this, keep a leash on them so you maintain a semblance of control. Once they are able to swim to you when called, and they are confident in the water, then you can go without it. Older dogs may have trouble with knowing where to go because of poor eyesight. Stay close to them and help guide them if they lose their way. Be sure to never leave your dogs unattended when they are in the water.
When performing any kind of physical activity, like swimming, it is always important to keep your dogs hydrated. Bring fresh water with you so that they don't drink lake or seawater and become sick. Also, if there is a hose or rinsing station nearby, be sure to rinse your dogs off after swimming. This will clean them of any algae or residue that stuck onto their fur.
It's a good idea to teach your dogs to jump out of the boat and come back to you when called. Providing positive praise when they do something right and giving them a treat will help them associate good behaviors with something positive. It also allows them to learn more quickly. As long as everyone stays safe, you all can enjoy cooling off in the final leg of the summer season.

Tottenham defender Steven Caulker has completed his move to Cardiff for a fee in the region of £9m that has broken the club's previous transfer record, set when they signed Andreas Cornelius earlier this summer.
Caulker has emerged as a young talent at Spurs in the last couple of seasons, but it seems that Spurs were willing to let him go in the search for regular first team action, putting pen to paper on a four-year-deal with the Bluebirds.
The 21-year-old made 29 appearances last season, and has been tipped as a future England regular having made his debut in the friendly defeat to Sweden last November.
Caulker has been linked with a move to Manchester City and Liverpool in the past, after he showed promise early in his career having made 21 appearances for England at youth level as well as featuring in last year's Olympic tournament.
Caulker told Cardiff City Player: "First and foremost I want to say how happy I am to have signed with Cardiff City Football Club. I'm delighted to be here and excited for this fresh challenge.
"I spoke to the gaffer (Malky Mackay) yesterday, liked what he had to say and am excited about the plans he has for the football club.
"You get the sense of excitement from everybody at the club in the build-up to the season's kick-off at West Ham and I'm really looking forward to being part of it."
Tottenham have been seen to be running light in the centre-back department, having released William Gallas at the end of last season and having Jan Vertonghen carried off on a stretcher with an ankle injury during their Barclays Asia Trophy match in Hong Kong, although the injury isn't as bad as first feared.
Manager Andre Villas-Boas also has concerns over the long-term fitness of Younes Kaboul, who suffered an injury hit campaign last season despite remaining in is manager's plans.
The sale of Caulker suggests that Spurs are close to sealing the purchase of either Steaua Bucharest defender Vlad Chiriches of Sporting Lisbon's Tiago Ilori, who have been increasingly linked with a move over the last few days.
They had put a £12m price tag on Caulker, but it seems they lowered their asking price to allow him to move away from White Hart Lane, with Cardiff attempting to strengthen their squad ahead of their bid for Premier League survival.
They had previously made an offer for Espanyol defender Hector Moreno, but saw their bid rejected rejected before moving for Caulker.

Lamar Odom's dad, Joe Odom told The National Enquirer in a recent interview that Khloe Kardashian is controlling his son and destroying his relationship with him.
The worried father claims that he's unable to speak to his son because the Khloe is controlling his life.
He said, "(Khloé) is answering his phone and checking his texts, too. I can't get through to him anymore!"
Lamar's dad also said Khloe is currently looking after Lamar's money 'even though he's recovering'.
The worried old man also claimed that he was concerned that cutting vulnerable Lamar off from some of his family and friends could see the two-time NBA championship winner suffer a relapse in his recovery.
"I am praying that doesn't happen," Joe said.

I think the main thing that is messing with my head regarding this story is that 2007 was EIGHT years ago. What the f*ck.
Anyway, back in 2007, which was a whopping eight years ago (I still can't get my head around that) pretty much everyone watched Britain's Got Talent. It was the first ever series and already in its peak.
So when tiny six-year-old singing sensation Connie Talbot hit the stage, she was always going to take the country by storm. And that's exactly what she did. The Birmingham schoolgirl ended up coming second to Paul Potts on the show and her original audition video has since racked up almost 150 million views on YouTube. Her debut album also went on to sell over 250,000 copies, going gold in the UK. Which wasn't bad for a six-year-old!
But what is Connie doing nowadays? Well, still singing and looking completely different. Because, you know, age and stuff. Eight years of it, in fact, if I haven't already mentioned that…
With a new album reportedly coming in September, Connie is pipped to re-enter the British music scene, and after teaching herself to play the piano and guitar, she's much better equipped this time.
She's also managed by her mum and dad, who are making sure she keeps her head down in school. Which is fair enough.
We wish her the best of luck!

Good thing they have more strict handgun laws in canada :rolleyes:

Good thing they have more strict handgun laws in canada :rolleyes:
Whistler RCMP Cpl. Dave Ritchie says the matter is being treated very seriously.
"It's obviously very dangerous to have a loaded gun in your possession," he told CTV Edmonton. :blink:
What the :banned: ??????
Thats ok, they will just blame the United States. I have all ready been told by a friend in B.C. that we are the big bad guys because we have such large open gun markets where anyone can buy a weapon.
Canada's claim is that our guns are illegally smuggled into Canada and then used to commit crime. So obviously, it is our fault for this happening. :rolleyes:
Canada is a chilly loft apartment over a really good party.
Obviously this story is a hoax. Handguns are prohibited in Canada:banned: , so the boy couldn't have had one.:hu:
Ouch!!! :gah:
good one though...:smilez:
That bus must have driven past my place on the way to Whistler, I find it odd that not only would a 12 year kid have a pistol, but a prohibited one as well. (Most pistols here are in the restricted class, 4+ barrels and not in .25 or .32 cal)
Would not surprise me that the gun turned out to be a fake or airsoft .
We call the Toronto Star, the CommieStar and it is very anti-gun
It seams like one of those mind twisting questions like:
If a tree falls in the forest does it make a noise?
or to paraphrase:
If a country has gun control do firearms really exist?
Obviously laws against gun possession work. That's why there have been no more murders since laws against killing someone were passed.
Not from Canada if I recall, they mostly entered directly from Europe. By the way the Vancover Police report that 94% of the crime guns they sieze are smuggled in, most from the US, but also a growing portion from Eastern Europe. Organized crime trades pot grown here to US gangs for crack and guns to be used up here. I guess that must be covered under a sub section of NAFTA.
Canadians are pansies. Their Border Patrol don't even carry guns. I went up to Canada one time to go on a canoe trip. Our entry point was actually across the Minnesota border via the BWCA, but I had to go up to the border crossing in a different area to pick up my permit first. I had a gun in my car, and when I went to the crossing they started asking me all the usual questions about declaring stuff. I told them right off the bat I just needed to enter the station to get my canoe permit, but he still needed to ask me the questions, even though I wasn't technically visiting Canada at the time. When he got to the part about guns in the car, I said, Yes I have a gun in my car. He stopped and started at me and said "what?" and got this weird look on his face like I had just told him a very personal detail about my sex life. I repeated that I had a gun in my car and he stared at me for a long minute and then asked me again why I was at the border crossing. When I finally made him understand I wasn't going into Canada, just visiting the border station for some paperwork, he finally seemed to calm down a bit and scribbled some stuff down on the paperwork and let me park. The piece of paper had 'handgun' under the section where you declare stuff, which I had to give to this receptionist lady inside. When she read the paper she said "You have a gun in your car??". I said 'Yeah but I'm not entering Canada, just visiting this station for my canoe entry permit'. She was really rude and said something about "You realize you can't take that into Quetico (the canadian canoe wilderness)" in a manner and tone that clearly conveyed she thought the Gun Nut American would try to do just that. During the rest of my contact with her she was incredibly rude. While I sat in a chair and waited for my paperwork I watched all the other Border Patrol officers and noticed that none of them had any firearms. Batons and mace, maybe some tasers. I thought it was pretty stupid that Canadian LEOs didn't have any guns.
