Train your pet to know the safest way out of the pool. An untrained animal will often head for the nearest edge to get out. If it runs into trouble with slippery walls, the dog may panic, which can quickly lead to exhaustion. Animal behavior expert Diane Pomerance recommends repeatedly showing your pet the shallow end and the steps that lead out.
