I have three dogs, and only one of them (the smallest and oldest one) likes the pool. But he rarely even ventures beyond the steps. He is only a foot tall.

The others like to sun-bath on the deck, and will occationally drink from the pool, but never go into it. I suppose the time that one of them walked accross my pool with the winter cover on it, and squished around alot put him off the pool for life.

Oddly enough, the other two LOVE to frolick in streams when we are camping. I suppose its the smell of "living water" and the creatures that draw them to the streams.
