Team water here, too. Several years ago, when we were designing our landscape, we debated long and hard about putting a pond in....knowing that we'd have trouble keeping our golden retriever OUT of the pond. We finally decided to go ahead, but worked with the designer to make it dog friendly. Best choice we ever made.....the birds love the pond (as do the dogs). It's right off of our patio, so we can see and hear the water easily.
