When a man relocated his dog from the city to the beach, things didn’t go according to plan. Initially, the experience wasn’t what he expected, but now he appreciates it.
Skippy’s beach debut started off well but quickly took a turn when a wave headed towards him. Skippy bolted away from the water to stay dry.
Dogs can get anxious around water, especially if they’re not used to it. Dogs might fear water due to past unpleasant experiences. Scriv, for instance, gradually introduced his dog to water to build comfort.
Known as @matthewscriv on TikTok, Scriv could tell Skippy was nervous. He comforted Skippy, gently easing him into the water. The moment Skippy’s feet touched the water and the first wave hit, he took off joyfully. Scriv was convinced that the move to the coast was worthwhile.
Skippy couldn’t resist the water and started zooming around, chasing after his owner.
