Teach it to sit and stay first. When I first took my lab canoeing, he tried
jumping from the boat to the shore and flipped us both. While I was empting
the boat, he was rolling in poison oak.. He now is an experienced boater and
well aware of canoe balance and is a good boating partner.

Does anyone have experience introducing a dog to canoeing?

I have a new 3-year old female German shepherd that I'd like to take
on short canoe trips.
