Will dogs damage vinyl liners??

Hi Jim, We have three German Shepherds and an a/g pool. One of the dogs habitually stands on his hind legs when trying to catch a Frisbee. No damaga to the liner so far. We keep their nails trimmed and we taught them where the exit is. Dogs tend to get out of a body of water at the same place they went in, and since Pax almost always dives in off the edge he had to be shown how to get out at the steps. It took two lessons for him to learn how to exit. Occasionally, a dog will push off the side after he's retrieved his toy. We have no tears or scratches in the liner. IS there more fun than swimming with dogs????

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
