[NAGDU] Acclimating a dog to being at the side of a pool

[Janell]

First I would just go to the pool several times but not swim.  Just sit with
her while there are others swimming and making noise... just a thought

Hi lisa, I am in the same boat with my black lab Darcy. I want to take her
to the pool with me and put her on tie down under an umbrella.

I would say maybe not jumping into the pool but just walk into the pool and
as you do it reassure her that its alright. If she starts to wine give her
the command your school has for her to be quiet. Just a suggestion.

Hi all, my name is Lisa Ison. I have a guide dog and her name is Nori.  I 
had her guide me to my apartment complexes pool today. I tied her down under

a table with an umbrella so she could have some shade. I thought she might 
enjoy being out of the apartment and being with me while I swim and had 
other people swimming as well. I thought she would like this since she would

not be stuck in the apartment all day. However when I jumped in she whined 
like someone was killing her. How do I get her used to being at the pool and

being quiet. I tried jumping in twice and she whined both times. HELP!!!  I 
want to be able to enjoy my weekends at the pool with my dog by my side. 
What can I do? What would you suggest? Any help or advice would be greatly 
appreciated and much valued.
