We love the Float Coat Life Jacket as does our European Golden Retriever 14 week puppy.
We have a pool and we will be taking him to the beach so water safety is essential.
The instructions included were rather lacking, but we found great videos on Internet.
After my wife fitted him, we allowed him to acclimate to the vest in the house and yard with numerous treats until he was confortable wearing it… we then spent two days teaching him were the steps were for access and egress. My wife was always in the pool with him while I initially lowered him to the top step. The third day he began swimming two feet distances always returning to the top step. Water safety and love of swimming is our goal, thus building our puppy’s confidence is essential.
