Kiddie pool. Sprinklers. Not going outside at all and just napping on the couch (she likes that one but she needs to spend some time outside)

Or Sashas favorite outside keeping cool activity that always results in a bath:

Rolling around and laying in the dirt/mud in the shade!

Any ideas for getting a dog used to a kiddie pool? Mine doesn't like water much.

If you have kids it won't take long. LOL She hated the kiddie pool last year so we got rid of it. I had my daughter sitting in her kiddie pool this year (not Sashas) and Sasha decided to dive right in. She wants to be with my daughter all the time. Now granted I was in the kiddie pool too my daughter isn't sitting up on her own yet. Didn't expect Sash to jump in. But she did. My daughter didn't like the kiddie pool so its now Sashas. My daughter does better in the big pool.

Seriously though I think the big thing is not to force the pool on the dog. Some dogs like to be in water and some don't. Your dog will get in when he/she is ready. You can coax with yummy treats, but never force it.
