Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted September 20, 2016 Report Share Posted September 20, 2016 Yeh they don't like being chucked in. Lol. Softly softly catch a monkey and they will take to it eventually. Then get them retrieving a ball from the shallows and gradually throw it further out. Soon have him swimming of his own accord. 2 Quote Link to post
