Would you take your dog to a public pool day?

Question

I’m weary of dog parks and have never taken my 40 lb mini Bernese to one. She’s about 2.5 years old and her recall is non existent. The pool is enclosed and I imagine there will be at least 100 dogs there. The dogs have to be vaccinated and non reactive.

From my own experience I know owners are either in denial of their aggressive dogs or just don’t care (as my little girl was attacked by a corgi when she was a puppy on a walk and the owner kept saying… oh my dog is never like this! 🙄).

I really would love to take her. She LOVES animals and all people and hasn’t been to doggy daycare in awhile.

I’ll be there the entire time. But I’m so torn. Would you take your dog? Thanks so much in advance!
