We have a new pool that was completed a month ago. We've swam just a couple of times and are looking forward to the warmer weather soon! So we have a three year-old Golden... she has not yet gone in the water, although our kids would love for her to do so! She's a bit timid and as the pool is unfamiliar to her, she has not yet ventured in, but seems very curious and gets a bit whiny when she's seen us swimming and splashing around.
So, do all dogs instinctively know how to swim? I'm wondering if I need to be cautious of her being in the backyard on her own and not ever having been in a pool before...
If she ends up loving the water and swimming a lot, what are some pool chemistry/equipment related things that I should be aware of? She is quite a shedder!
Thanks!!
