Summertime Dog Tip
If you have a backyard pool, it is essential that you spend some time teaching your dog how
to rescue themselves.  Dogs fall or jump into swimming pools and can panic if they are not
familiar with how to exit the pool.   Hundreds of dogs' lives are cut short due to an accidental
drowning every summer.  Even if your dog doesn't like to swim, teach them where the steps
are.  Here's how:
  1. Carry your dog into the pool and place them on the top step.  Allow them to jump out
    on their own.  Praise!!
  2. Carry your dog into the pool and gently lower them into the water which should
    encourage them to paddle.  Hold them about a foot away from the step and guide them
    to the step.  Allow them to get out on their own.  Praise!!
  3. Carry your dog into the pool again, this time releasing them a little further from the
    step, but be ready to assist them toward the step if needed.  Allow them to get out of
    the pool and praise!!
  4. Continue increasing the distance from the step until you have covered all areas of your
    pool.
Your dog may not see the thrill of swimming, however you will have the peace of mind that if
they ever accidentally end up in the pool, they can save themselves without panic - even if
you aren't there to help them.
