Like other dog training a little training goes a long way. If you don't want to go sailing should this occur, I'd get to a good stable knee position before they get too excited Dogs get excited and will often jump off your board as you near shore. Go down to your knees whenever you near shore or other dogs are present. As a result, bring some water and preferably a bowl that floats. You and your dog will get thirsty and lake water isn't always something you want your dog drinking. I recommend standing on it while you paddle making it easy to release should a need arise. Remember to never tie your dog's leash to anything. If it's windy out where there's a greater chance my board would blow away should I fall, I'll use my leash. These two concepts can be at odds with one another as these leashes can get tangled causing a dangerous situation. It's also recommended that when paddling a SUP on a lake to wear an ankle or calf leash yourself to keep your board close to you should you fall off. Trim their nails before heading out so they don't scratch up your board when trying to get on.Īs previously stated many parks require dogs to be on leashes at all times.

Especially composite boards so either buy one with a good non-slip surface or install an aftermarket pad or bungie an old carpet or rubber shower mat to the surface. Make sure your board has a non-slip pad for your dog's claws and feet to grab onto. Your pup will be more likely to sit or lay on the board which makes the trip more enjoyable for you and him. Bring a water toy to play with for a few minutes before beginning your journey to get some of that restless energy out. Excited dogs on paddle boards equal you in the water. Get your dog a little tired before going paddle boarding. Attaching the leash to the lifejacket instead of their normal collar is much safer should it get caught on something. Many parks require dogs to be on leashes even while in the water.Lifejackets are typically bright colors making it easier for you and other boaters to see your pup while in the water.
When they have a lifejacket on they become more relaxed and can stay afloat should they fizzle out before reaching you. Even dogs that are excellent swimmers can occasionally tire before reaching shore or your paddle board.That large handle on the back of the jacket is a life saver. Getting your dog from the water and onto your SUP can sometimes be a challenge as SUPs can be slippery.Most dogs are great swimmers but there's a few reasons behind my recommendation: Always Make Your Dog Wear A Dog Life Jacket.Here's some tips to help shortcut finding SUP Pup zen: It wasn't always that way, but after a little bit of dog training and trail and error, it's a thing of great enjoyment for me.
Combining the two is like a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup: Better than its separate parts.
