[NAGDU] Have a question

[Aleeha Dudley]

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.
