Bath time with dad. Oh, the head goes back. And he knows what he’s doing. Still swimming, buddy?

COMM: At Dark Dynasty K9s, world-famous giant

pit bull Hulk has just fathered another litter of puppies. And at just four and a half weeks

old, it’s time for these future protection dogs to be introduced to the water by their

owners, Marlon and Lisa Grennan. First they break the puppies in gently.

MARLON GRENNAN: Oh the head goes back. Oh my God!

COMM: Then it’s time to take to the bath.

MARLON GRENNAN: So, we are doing now as we

are teaching the puppy actually how to swim, teaching him about water. So, I’ll just

put him in there and you see, he picks up his feet. You can see how he starts to kick his feet,

starts to kick, and that’s what I want. And later he learns how to swim. He has figured it out.

When I will actually put him down. Now don’t drink the water, bud. Alright! Good job.

COMM: Marlon wants his dogs to be comfortable

in any environment, and he expects all of them to be strong swimmers by the age of 3

months.

MARLON GRENNAN: Here I am, right with him.

Come on! Good job, pal!

MARLON GRENNAN: So it’s really important

that puppies understand water at this age and they are not afraid of water. So I like

to introduce my puppies to the water. These puppies are about, he is just about four and

a half weeks old right now, and this is how I let them float and I, you know, I will see

him and let him go but I am right here. So he is balanced, he’s steady, he knows what

he’s doing. He’s done a nice good powerful stokes. And he gets out, he is little bit

hyped up when he’s out. He is still kicking. He still thinks he is swimming. But he’s

learning. It’s a little Hulk baby right here. Little Hulk baby.

COMM: With swimming lessons over, it’s time

to dry off, and even though he is not been the one exerting himself, Hulk seems the most

worn out.
