Pehea e maa ai i ka ilio i ka wai a me ka auau

I ke kauwela, nui nā ʻīlio e leʻaleʻa i ka ʻauʻau ʻana ma kahakai, e pāʻani ana i loko o nā loko o nā keiki, a i ʻole e leʻaleʻa a puni ka sprinkler. Inā manaʻo ka mea nona ka makaʻu o kāna pipi i ka wai, ʻaʻole ʻo ia wale nō. 

I kekahi manawa he mea paʻakikī ke ʻauʻau i ka hoa ʻehā wāwae, ʻaʻole hoʻi e hoʻowalewale iā ia e ʻauʻau. Inā makaʻu ka ʻīlio i ka wai, he aha kaʻu e hana ai?

No ke aha i makau ai kekahi mau ilio i ka wai?

Nui nā kumu e makaʻu ai nā hoa wāwae ʻehā i ka wai. Malia paha he ʻike hou kēia no ka ʻīlio, a he ʻano ʻē ka manaʻo o ka wai ma nā wāwae a me ka hulu hipa. Ua pilikia paha kāu pipi me ka wai, a i ʻole ua pulu loa i ka wā ʻaʻole lākou i mākaukau no ia mea. 

Inā manaʻo ka mea nona ka makaʻu o ka ʻīlio i ka wai, ʻo ka hana mua e hoʻāʻo e wean iā ia mai nā hui maikaʻi ʻole me ka wai. Hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻolauna mālie iā ia i ka wai a hiki i kona manaʻo palekana e ʻauʻau a ʻauʻau paha ma kāna ʻōlelo ponoʻī.

Pehea e aʻo ai i ka ʻīlio e ʻauʻau

ʻO ke kūpono, pono e hoʻomaka nā kaʻina hana wai i ka wā he ʻīlio mau ka ʻīlio. ʻO ka mua, hiki iā ʻoe ke holoi iā ia me kahi lole pulu, a laila ʻauʻau i loko o ka lumi ʻauʻau a i ʻole i loko o kahi kīʻaha ma waho. Eia naʻe, inā ua ulu ka pipi a makaʻu i ka ʻauʻau, pono ʻoe e hoʻolilo i ka manawa ma ke aʻo ʻana e wean iā ia mai ka makaʻu, a laila hoʻomaka ʻoe e ʻauʻau. No ka hoʻomaka ʻana, pono ʻoe e hana i kēia:

1. E nānā ka ʻīlio a ʻimi i ka lumi ʻauʻau.
2. E lawe mai iā ia i ka lumi ʻauʻau a pāʻani pū me ia ma laila, e pani ana i ka puka.
3. I ka manawa e maʻa ai ka ʻīlio i loko o ka lumi ʻauʻau me ka makaʻu ʻole, pono ʻoe e kono iā ia e piʻi i loko o ka ʻauʻau a noho ma luna o kahi moena paheʻe. ʻAʻole pono e hoʻohuli i ka wai, akā e hōʻoia e uku i kāu pipi no kona koa!
4. Ma hope o ke komo ʻana o ka ʻīlio i loko o ka lumi ʻauʻau i nā manawa he nui, hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻohuli i ka wai i ka ʻauʻau. I kēia manawa, pono ʻoe e pāʻani me ka ʻīlio ma ka papahele i maʻa ʻo ia i ka walaʻau.
5. ʻO ka hope, pono ʻoe e kau i ka pipi i loko o kahi ʻauʻau i hoʻopiha ʻia me kahi liʻiliʻi o ka wai.

He manawa lōʻihi paha e hoʻopau ai i kēia kaʻina hana, akā pono ia, no ka mea, ʻo ka hoʻopau ʻana i ka makaʻu a me ka loaʻa ʻana o ka hilinaʻi.

Pehea e aʻo ai i ka ʻīlio e ʻauʻau

I ka manawa e ʻike ai kou hoa ʻehā wāwae i ka palekana i ka ʻauʻau wai, hiki iā ʻoe ke noʻonoʻo e hoʻomaʻamaʻa iā ia i nā wai nui, e like me ka loko a i ʻole ka moana. Akā, no kēia ʻanuʻu, pono ʻoe e aʻo i kāu hoa ʻehā wāwae i ka ʻauʻau palekana. 

He mea nui e hoʻomanaʻo ua hana ʻia kekahi mau ʻano no ka wai, aʻo nā mea ʻē aʻe he mea ʻauʻau pono ʻole. No ka laʻana, loaʻa i ka Labrador Retriever, Irish Water Spaniel, a me Portuguese Water Dog nā hiʻohiʻona e kūpono ai lākou i ka wai. Ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe, pono i nā ʻīlio wāwae pōkole e like me ka Chihuahua a me nā ʻano brachycephalic e like me ka Boxer ke kōkua hou aku. ʻIke paha ka mea nona ka ʻīlio makemake ʻole i ka ʻauʻau a makemake ʻo ia i ke "ola ma ka ʻāina".

Pono mua ʻoe e kūʻai i kahi mea kōkua e hōʻoia i ka palekana o kāu pipi ma ka wai. Wahi a ka American Kennel Club, pono nā ʻīlio a pau, me ka nānā ʻole i ke ʻano o ke ʻano, e ʻaʻahu i nā lole ola ke aʻo lākou i ka ʻauʻau. 

Pono ʻoe e ʻimi i kahi ʻaʻahu me kahi lima a inā pono e hiki iā ʻoe ke huki koke i kāu pipi mai ka wai. E like me ka wai o nā keiki, pili ka nui no ka palekana, no laila he mea nui e hōʻoia i ke kūpono o ka lole ola no ke kaumaha a me ka lōʻihi o kāu hoa wāwae ʻehā.

Hiki iā ʻoe ke aʻo i kāu ʻīlio i ka wai ma ke ʻano penei:

1. E hoʻomaka mālie a mai hoʻolei i ka ʻīlio i ka wai.
2. E hele pū me kāu pipi ma kahakai a e hoʻomaʻemaʻe i kona mau wāwae.
3. A laila e hele mālie a hohonu iki, akā noho i ka wai pāpaʻu.
4. E hoʻomaikaʻi i kāu pipi me kahi meaʻai olakino.
5. Ke ʻoluʻolu ka ʻīlio i loko o ka wai pāpaʻu, hiki iā ʻoe ke hele hohonu iki i mea e pono ai ʻo ia e ʻau i kahi mamao.

Pono e lawe mālie ʻia kēlā me kēia mau ʻanuʻu, a ma hope o ka manawa e lilo ka ʻīlio i mea ʻauʻau hilinaʻi. E like me ka ʻauʻau ʻana i ka ʻauʻau, ʻo ke aʻo ʻana i ka ʻauʻau ʻaʻole ia he lā hoʻokahi. Pono kēia i nā hola he nui o ka hana palekana a ʻoluʻolu o kēia mākaukau.
