That's a plus with an above ground pool. You can decide when they can get in. We had a real scare this fall with our puppy Abbie. My son and I were getting fall leaves out of the pool and we had Reesie (1yr old) and Abbie (I think she was only a couple of months). They were right beside us playing when my son saw that Abbie had fallen in. She was swimming like a maniac THANK GOD!! I was so worried because we had just had a cold front move in and water was very cold. Everything turned out fine. She's a tough little stinker. She's not allowed in the pool area anymore until she gets bigger. We even put mess netting along the bottom of our iron fence because I thought she might be able to squeeze through the bars.
