What You Will Need to Paddle Board With Your Dog
The right board
The best paddle boards for dogs are wider and longer boards because they are more stable. When you’re choosing a paddle board for you & your dog, it’s best khổng lồ look at a board that is least ten feet long and 32 inches wide. Boards over ten feet long are the most stable, which makes them a good choice when you’re taking your dog along for the ride.
When choosing a board, make sure you consider your weight, as well as the weight of your dog. The larger the dog in comparison lớn the board, the more unstable it will be. Paddle boarding with large or multiple dogs is no problem as long as you have the right board. Part of making sure your board is pup ready is to lớn select a board with a full deck pad for traction, lượt thích a Betty, Blend, Kona Wood, or Wahine Wood board.
Good surface grip
Many paddle boards may not provide much grip for your dog"s paws. Get a paddle board with dog appropriate grip to make sure your buddy doesn’t go sliding off when you hit a wave. The best SUPs for dogs are boards that have a full deck pad, or at least an extended deck pad. Inflatable boards typically come with extended deck pads. If your board does not have a large enough deck pad, there are other options. Old yoga mats or bath mats with suction cups are great alternatives.
PFD (Pooch Flotation Device)
Many dogs are good swimmers, but since the paddle board adds an element that your pooch isn’t familiar with, it’s a good idea lớn get a life jacket. A dog jumping off a tipping paddle board could get disoriented. Put the PFD on at trang chủ to make sure it fits & so he can get used to it before going in the water.

Don’t forget your dog!
Introducing Your Dog khổng lồ the Board
Paddle boarding can be an overwhelming experience for your dog. Things as simple as wearing a life jacket or standing on the board can increase fear if these experiences are new to him. To make the transition as smooth as possible, use these tips to lớn introduce your dog khổng lồ the thể thao before getting on the water.
1. Teach your dog basic commands
Before you and your dog get out on the water, make sure he has mastered basic obedience commands like “sit” and “stay”.
2. Master your paddle board
Don’t get on a SUP with your dog until you’re confident using one by yourself. You should be comfortable standing up, paddling, và turning. Make sure you can also fall và get back on from the water. Dogs will mirror your căng thẳng if you are not comfortable, & being on a stand up paddle board with a dog in tow will only make things more difficult for beginners.
3. Introduce your dog và board
Before hitting the water, introduce your dog lớn the board on solid ground. Put the board in an area of the house where your dog is comfortable. Allow him lớn sniff it, look at it, và explore it on his own terms. It’s not a problem if he doesn’t jump right on at first - it’s just there for him khổng lồ get used to.
4. Put treats on and around the board
Once the board has been in the house awhile, put a treat on it khổng lồ encourage your dog khổng lồ walk on. Tell him to sit và give another treat. After repeating this, he should be somewhat comfortable with the board. Take it slow và don’t force him. The board should be fun for the dog. He shouldn’t feel afraid or pressured.
5. Do a dry run
When he’s comfortable, put on his life jacket và get him on the board again. If you vì chưng this several times, standing on the board with his life jacket will feel more natural. The only difference when you are out on the water will be the surroundings.
6. Practice commands for getting off the board
Before you get out on the water, practice a special command for getting off the board, and only reward him when he jumps off on command. If he gets off without the command, lead him back on the board and try again. After a while, he should get the hang of it.
7. Reward good behavior
Teach your pup to jump off the board only when commanded, & reward him with a treat or praise when he does. A lot of the time dogs get excited và jump off the board when you’re getting close khổng lồ shore. This can throw you off balance and into the water, which can be more dangerous near the shore.
Preparing khổng lồ SUP With Your Dog
MAKE SURE YOUR DOG CAN SWIMBefore paddle boarding with your dog, ensure he is comfortable swimming. If he is a weak swimmer or afraid of water, the experience will not be enjoyable. Allowing your pooch to swim on his own several times should be enough to lớn help him get over any fears. If he just can"t get used khổng lồ the water on his own, consult a dog trainer for advice.TRIM SHARP NAILSAnyone who has ever swum near a dog knows that shorter nails are better than long, sharp ones. By keeping your dog"s nails short và dull, you will minimize the chance of the finish of your board getting scratched, or your deck pad torn.BRING A POCKET FULL OF TREATSBring treats out on your adventure to lớn continue rewarding good behavior. That way, if your dog likes lớn jump off into the water when he’s not supposed to, you can train him to be a better passenger over time.TIRE OUT ENERGETIC PUPSPlay a game of fetch or go for a swim together before getting on the board khổng lồ tire your dog out. Energetic dogs bởi not lượt thích to sit still on SUPs, which makes it hard to lớn keep your balance. A tired dog is less likely to throw both of you into the drink.Encore Series Ski Goggles All Encore Ski Goggles Cub (Ages 3-6) Punk (Ages 5-10) 8Track (Ages 9-13) replay (Adult Small) Big Punk (Adult Universal) Prop (Adult Universal)
