Asking Eric: How Do I Tell My Good Friend We Don’t Want Her Dog in Our Pool Anymore

Asking Eric: My friend lets her dog jump in my pool without any heed to the damage it could do

Dear Eric: Can you offer any advice about a good friend who lets her dog jump in my pool? I have an inground vinyl liner pool so one concern is the dog could damage the liner with its nails or teeth. And my friend does not have the funds to replace the liner if it were damaged, nor would she probably offer.
