Does anybody let their dogs swim in the pool? Does it still work when you have a water loving dog?

It works great no matter what. The only issue is if you have any metal on your pool it will corrode it horribly due to galvanic corrosion.

I have a siberian husky and both my sisters have small dogs. Jack loves his fountain and drinks from the top. When my sisters bring their dogs to my apt. they drink from the water fall on the side. Everyone is happy. I think your dogs will love it as much as ours do.

No. I have a 68 lb Australian Shepard and wash all four paws without changing the water.

My dog fell in the pool earlier this summer and after fishing him out, I immediately removed the collar, dried it off and we had no problems. He also loves to play in dirt, roll in wet grass, etc. and we've had no issues. But that is the extent that we have tested out the "waterproof" feature. :)

I have replaced the batteries in mine with less expensive ones and they work great. I haven't seen a problem with water because of rain, but I don't think I would trust any collar of this type being submersed in water for swimming. I can't believe that the manufacturer would suggest such a thing either. I would be afraid that if enough water got inside, it would cause the dog to get shocked unexpectedly. I think the cost of replacing the collar would also keep me from risking it.

Get the taetronics one, completely waterproof. My dog swims 5-10 times daily

We had it for our grand-dog (a boxer). We would bring her up to the faucet and toggle with our finger to get the water running to show her how it worked. Once she started licking it, we would let go and she realized she could work it. We used our first one years ago for the dog, but bought this new one for the grand-kids to play with and not waste water (for their hands, not as a faucet :) ).

The Big Dog Pet Fountain puts out a good bit of water, the stream of water is pretty good. Our dog loves it. Have you moved the the flipper located on the right side(which is in front of the motor) if you are facing the fountain. Move it to the right to increase flow. We have used this fountain for a long time, both our cat and dog love drinking from the stream so guess it enough for them

Absolutely! My dogs are in the water a lot, splashing and shallow immersion of the collars, no problems. Good product.

I have to be honest here...I've thought about buying another one just for the dog, but I think it would be a complete nightmare! It might hold enough water for both. But, thinking about my dog, I change her water regularly and even more in the summer or just needs changing because she's a dog! My newer puppy is about 60 pounds, but I've seen her with her doggie daycare buddies, and it's a mess. I can't imagine unhooking it, cleaning it, plugging it back in, etc., multiple times during the day. And, cleaning and changing the filter(and that could get expensive), I wouln't. Sorry, I hope that helps! Good luck! I have to be honest here...I've thought about buying another one just for the dog, but I think it would be a complete nightmare!

I don't know if this would help, really, because it wouldn't hold much water at all and absolutely not enough in summer months. You might try one of these instead:http://amzn.to/1gBpCcLhttp://amzn.to/1oMJOgDGood luck finding something that works for you and your pup. I know it can be difficult. The first link has over 4 stars so most people seem to feel it works well.

I think it is fine. While dense, your dog's hair is short. I have a Portuguesee Water Dog and there is just too much hair.

We go to the dog park once a week. Huskies in southern California get hot fast. They love water so we spray them down quite a bit. After I think 1.5 years there is no indication that there is anything wrong. Our last trip was today. Both unit still a little wet. I tried it on my leg at setting 85 of 120 and got the jolt. These are solid. Very happy with the quality and durability. If one or both needed to be replaced I would be the same ones again. NOTE: Water resistant and waterproof are not the same thing. I have not tried fully submerging either unut but both have been hit with significant water pressure. My personal opinion is that they would likely be ok with a short "dip". Take what you will from that. We go to the dog park once a week. Huskies in southern California get hot fast. They love water so we spray them down quite a bit.

The tag gave us no trouble, but I have read that others have had some. We positioned the height of the bowl so that it stayed outside the bowl while our dog was eating. I would think that the tag would have to come off the collar to swim, but have not had any experience with that. Love the bowl. It keeps our "swiper" dog out of our other dog's bowl and has saved us a lot of monitoring and refilling food bowls.

I bought mine just about the same time and had the same problem...mine got wet and quit working, they are water resistant not proof. I switched over to a more expensive brand that says, "water proof" Petsafe 1000. The dogs swim in very deep water and they ARE water proof and still working great. They only beep and or shock. I did like the vibration part of those collars. Cheap is cheap...... Mona @ Grammas Doggy Daycare

They are waterproof up to a point. My dogs are outside only dogs so they get pretty wet and the collars work fine. I would imagine if they swim a lot that the chemicals in the pool water might impact the effectiveness not to mention being submersed for any length of time.
