Will dogs damage vinyl liners??

Hey jim What we did with our golden was took him to the top of the steps and used his favorite toy.We just put it in a few feet and walk down the steps with him,out to the toy and back up the steps. You know how smart they are and just a couple of times and they got it. One nice thing about teaching them to use the steps is when the pool is under shock treatment and I don't want dozer in the pool we just put a lounge chair in front of the steps. He gets so confused it's a riot!!!! steve
