I've raised two Guide Dogs of America puppies and have owned dogs all my life. I am very patient with the dogs and calm. I can help you train them if you'd like...basic skills...sit, down, come, heel. If they like to swim, I'll take them in our pool and rinse them off afterwards. I would never force a dog in the water, though, unless you'd like me to help them get over the fear. I will take them for walks around the neighborhood. I like to groom the dogs and play fetch...and tag and hide and seek is always fun for them. I have a two year old lab puppy who would love to play with them also. Then, of course, there is always snack time...:)
