    I have been kayaking with my collie for a few years now and it was really trial and error once I got my kayak. Its actually a pelican like the blue one, my mom has a more open one which is an ascend. I’ve tried other kayak types and brands (we actually found a rental place that was dog friendly one day when out with my friends) but both of my dog and I are most comfortable with our pelican. It’s nice to see other people enjoying this activity. I’m watching this to see other people’s tips as my mom got a new dog who is interested in the water.

This didn’t bother Loki at all. Thanks again for watching!

He jumped in the kayak the first boat trip right onto my lap, he’s enjoyed the hot rides ever since. I’d say ease into it with your pup if they’re not loving it like Loki did. You’ll get there!
