STAND UP PADDLING WITH YOUR DOG
By Jelien Lammers (www.jelien.nu)
Stand Up Paddling together with your dog can be great fun, but it is also quite possible that your four-legged friend has a completely different opinion.
Give your dog the choice whether or not to come along and build it up step by step, so that you have the greatest chance that your dog will experience this as a fun outing!
Realize that the dog has no control over the water or the SUP itself. The SUP is often a new object for the dog, feels unstable and goes into the water, where your dog has probably never been.
That’s why some general tips for relaxing supping with your dog.
Do not go one step further until your dog shows relaxation in the previous step.
Show your dog tension, try it a little longer, or stop your activity for your dog and try again at a later time. Have someone else hold the dog on the side and paddle across the lake yourself!
Your dog is at least 1.5 years old and has no physical ailments or limitations. This is because of the instability, balance and muscle strength that supping requires from your four-legged friend.
Let the dog first get acquainted with the sup on dry land. Watch the sup together, let the dog sniff it. Reward each attempt to step on the plank.
- Sprinkle some food on the mat so that your dog gets used to the fact that the sup can wobble a bit.
- If this goes well and the dog wants to go again, try to let the dog walk over the sup with a biscuit.
- Let the dog sit on the mat and reward quite a few times. This is the place where your dog should eventually sit while supping.
- Stand behind the dog so that you are already in the correct positions. Grab the paddle and gently move it back and forth behind the dog. Reward your dog for staying put.
- Place the board in the water and ask your dog on the board, by the mat. Hold the plank so that it moves little.
- Walk next to the dog in the water and gently move the board back and forth
- Climb up the board and stay in a crouch.
- Changing paddles can seem impressive or your dog can be frightened by the waterdrops. So keep moving the paddle slowly behind your dog.
- Stay close to the side until you notice your dog is relaxing.
- Switch with speeds, sometimes it helps to go a little faster for relaxation, sometimes this is counterproductive.
- Keep a close eye on your dog and respect his or her opinion on this outing!
