Hi, guys!
Okay so, I got a dog after a long time of really wanting one. I hit the damn jackpot and could go on gushing about how wonderful and amazing and hows shes so sweet. Anyway, I have a problem
The dog park by our house has a lake attached to it with a kind of boat ramp, really wide and goes out about 15 feet into the lake, only gets about a foot and a half deep on the ramp but when it ends its a sharp drop. My dog is an amstaff, shes just tons of muscle, and she LOVES playing and romping in the water.
The first time we went to the park she chased a lab off the edge of the ramp and went under and she panicked. She floats like lead zepplin. She panicked really bad, I had to go in and get her out she couldn't find the ramp again she was crying and shaking. its been about 7 months, and while she still loves the water, spends ALL the time were at the park playing on the ramp in the water, she won't go past her chest while sitting down. She will chase other dogs out as fast as she can but when she hits that point she just sits down and waits for them to come back. Its like there is a line 10 feet out that she is incapable of crossing. 

I think if she learned how to swim she would love the water again, so I got her a life jacket, I have a pool, I'm just wondering whats the best way to get her in the pool with out scaring her? She likes to drink from it, she likes to play with the sprinklers on it, but she won't get in it.
<bot>: My dog likes the water, but almost drowned one time and now is gun shy around water. I want to teach her to swim, i got a life jacket, i gots a pool, how do it?
