I’m moving into a house with a pool in a couple of months. I have a 20# dog who is blind and I’m trying to think of ways to keep her safe. The area from the back door/patio to the pool is all concrete, so installing fencing would require drilling holes. Looking for something temporary that could be removed during parties. I suggested wooden planters spaced every 8+10 feet with a bracket to hold a board. Husband didn’t like that. I’m still leaning towards that, but looking for other ideas. Thoughts?
We have several things that could support something like that - spa, stair rail, and 4 holes that hold an umbrella or volley ball net. I suggested putting low stretchy net around that but husband didn’t like that. He suggests ‘we’ take her on the leash every day and train her to use one area of the yard. She’s 12, has lived in the same house for 10 years (9 and a half with sight) , and still loses the back door despite having a rug trail to it. She’s happy and sweet, but i don’t think that’s going to work.
I suppose another option could be to attach a retractable lead outside the door. If you could set the length so she could reach the grass but not the pool, you could just clip her onto it when she is outside
