Dogs can make wonderful boating companions, but it may take time for yours to adjust to a day on deck. Before taking your dog boating, make sure you—and your dog—are prepared. Get him used to wearing a dog life jacket before attempting an outing, and have a rescue plan in case he goes overboard. A dog may panic during a rescue attempt, potentially pulling the rescuer underwater. A life jacket with a handle can aid in getting a dog back into the boat. (The dog in this video has a life jacket, but sometimes doesn't wear it on hot days when the water is calm.)
Evaluate your dog’s readiness before setting out. Skittish dogs aren’t ideal boating companions, and even the most easygoing canines may feel anxious when faced with the unfamiliar sound of a motor or the rocking of a boat. Signs of anxiety include whining, lip-licking, drooling, the “shake off,” yawning, or a tucked tail. If your dog shows these signs, he may prefer solid ground.
