Лабрадор Люи: почему пес обожает природные водоемы, но ненавидит ванну

Labrador Retriever Thinks Every Body of Water Is Paradise Until It’s Bath Time Labrador Retrievers are known for being big fans of the water. They’re built to play in the water, and they love pools, puddles, lakes, and just about any other body of water. While that’s not a hard rule for all Labrador Retrievers, water tends to be one of their favorite places on the planet. But apparently, there is one very important exception to one pup’s love affair with getting wet. In this video, we meet a Labrador Retriever with a clear love for the water, and when he’s in it, he’s living his best life. But as long as the water is nowhere near the bathtub. Take a look! On August 20, TikTok user @louiethelab3 shared a video of a really cute Black Labrador having the absolute time of his life out by the water. We see him zooming in and out, splashing, and full of pure joy. His tail is wagging fast and hard, then the video cuts to another scene.

The vibes are very different, despite both being bodies of water; he loves the freedom of being outside and clearly would rather be there than in the tub. In the comments, people understood why Louie hates bath time while loving the outdoors. One comment read, “That little face is everything,” while others left very fitting, cute emojis.

But apparently, the love for outside water while hating the bath isn’t too uncommon for dogs. According to Lancaster Puppies, Labrador Retrievers, like other dog breeds, were bred for swimming and retrieving, so they really do feel at home in the water. And we can see that with Louie, but hating the bath tracks, too, according to the site. They explain that bath time is different for pups like Louie than playing outside because they have less control in the situation, and they can’t run off their zoomies like they tend to do in the water. The site explains that running water, new smells, and feeling restrained can make them feel more anxious than free. To them, while both places have water, they’re not at all the same. If your dog is stressed during bath time, Lancaster Puppies suggests creating a nonslip, safe environment in the bath, keeping them short and efficient, making them positive, and using gentle shampoos. Another option is an outdoor bath, when the weather permits, which might help them feel more at ease.
