Hobbies and activities that involve your dog can enrich both your lives! Dogs needs both physical and mental stimulation and there’s nothing like a kayak or paddleboard excursion to meet those needs!

 

At Aqua Adventures, our paddle with your pup lesson will walk you through everything from determining if your pup is ready to paddle, to the appropriate gear required before hitting the water.

 

On our one-hour lesson we’ll talk about appropriate vessels for you and your dog, show you how to keep everyone safe and comfortable and learn the basics of paddling. We'll spend about 20 minutes on a land demo from our dock and then we'll move to the water and onto your vessel of choice for a brief outing. 

 

You may also elect to take the lesson without your pup and learn how to make your dog’s first outing awesome!

Aside from the fun and bonding experience, there are several benefits to paddling with your dog. It provides exercise for both you and your dog, and it's a great way to improve your balance and coordination. Paddling can also be a calming and stress-reducing activity for both you and your pup, as you soak up the sun and enjoy the peaceful surroundings of the water. It's also a great opportunity to socialize your dog, as they'll have the chance to interact with other dogs and people on the water. Overall, stand up paddleboarding and kayaking with your dog is a unique and rewarding activity that can enhance your bond and provide numerous physical and mental benefits.
