5 years old maltese, Crazy Snowy, enjoys jumping into the pool and swimming; either for fun or to pull out any toy he finds in there. I turned his craze of jumping to swim into a trick with the command “Rescue”! I started to use the word “Rescue” and praise him for jumping in and getting what ever in there, out of the pool. I started to only reward him when he does that after *only* hearing me say “Rescue” .. this sure helps in reducing the chances that he will jump into the pool whenever he wishes to do so (even after hearing me say no or try to stop him)

This video shows you Snowy performing his “Rescue” trick by pulling out the TOY turtle.

I present you Snowy, the little life guard maltese lol – He is always alert, keeps his eyes open at the pool,jumps in to save and rescue and just enjoys his job

In the second part of the video, you will see Bubble, our pet turtle, and the toy one – side by side for comparison. The reason for that is because I received tones of not so nice messages about my video of Snowy learning how to pull out a turtle from the pool:

writing in their messages that I am bad for throwing a turtle in the pool (thinking that it is real), allowing Snowy to grab it and bite it out of the pool and that Snowy is a bad dog. Some believed my response to them saying that the turtle in that video is not real; others still insist on thinking that it is real.

Well, this video shows the difference between a real and a toy turtle. There is no way I would throw Bubble, my pet turtle, in the pool for Snowy to catch!!

Anyways, I hope you all enjoy this video :) and for the ones who still have doubts about the other video, I hope you get convinced when watching this vid.

Bubble the turtle can also be seen in this video:
