A pool area is like any other terrain. It’s about training. Metuka settles in when I swim. I just clip her leash to a chair or object, put a towel down for her, and down she goes. Enjoy yourself!

Bogart didn't have problems being left with nice women. if they had any issues they knew where I was. I'd then use my came to navigate the change rooms and get out to the pool. I don't think Bogart would have suffered being on a tie down by the pool while his master was obviously close to drowning. :)

> Hi all,
> I agree with Jordan. It?s much too hot here in Louisiana for a dog to be on tie down at an outdoor pool. The only issue I have with taking a dog to a pool is that the law does say that the dog must be under the direct control of the handler at all times, which may not apply to a tie down or crate, since you cannot immediately reach your dog in a situation that might arise. That is one consideration I would make before taking my dog. Someone with enough knowledge of the law could argue that the dog is not under direct control.
