Do any of you take your pups kayaking? We put Waldo in ours when he was pretty young -- maybe 3 months -- With a life vest (I'll dig out a photo it's hysterical). He does okay if there is only one of us on the water, but if both my husband and I are out it's a battle keeping him in the kayak. We now just let him fall off and swim to the other person, but as soon as he is in the kayak he throws a fit and wants to be back in the original boat.
I'm wondering if anyone has done training for this sort of thing? We have recreational kayaks, 10 ft, so it's not an option to have him sit in a front hatch, he needs to either be in the cockpit with us, or (in the future) standing on the front.
