We also have an above ground pool. Just like with my kids I have trained all of the dogs (5) to jump into the pool and swim to a lounge float that stays in the pool. Some dogs do not swim well at first,so we have swim time/lessons for the dogs everytime I get in the pool. When one of my poodles was younger he would run up the steps when it wasnt swim time. I was so afraid that he would jump in when he wasn't suppposed to that I wanted to make sure that he knew what to do if he landed in the pool when noone was there. |
