Yes, it's why they took the railings down - to allow dogs to swim. Too far to go at the moment (may have to get an electric scooter with the dogs tied to the handlebars - on second thoughts maybe not, I could be at Chiswick House in about two minutes when walking would take 30....) but I have to keep one of mine on a long lead in the lake as he is prey driven and will spend hours at any time of the year attempting to get the ducks. He never does but after knowing if he is loose it will take at least two hours of waiting for him to come out he is always now on the lead even in water. The other paddles a bit but doesn't chase wildfowl. I think they should just have an area near the waterfall for dogs and put railings across the lake that they can't get over to protect wildfowl further up the lake.
