How To Kayak With Your Dog top tips

[@TravelingGranny]

I have been watching videos all day & then I came across yours! I wish I had found you first thing! Lol.. Loki is so sweet! I had to laugh when I saw Loki sprawled out & legs hanging over the side!😂🤣 My husky & I will be heading out on the water in a couple of months! Thank you for sharing! 👍🤗🐾🐾

[@TheComebackKid]

Hi Traveling granny. Loki absolutely loves anything involving the water, glad he made you laugh, he’s a goofball. Thanks for watching!

[@Wborchard83]

Excellent! As long as your dog listens to you then you can do anything.

Beautiful! I kayak with my dog and we both love it!

I have been kayaking with my collie for a few years now and it was really trial and error once I got my kayak. Its actually a pelican like the blue one, my mom has a more open one which is an ascend. I’ve tried other kayak types and brands (we actually found a rental place that was dog friendly one day when out with my friends) but both of my dog and I are most comfortable with our pelican. It’s nice to see other people enjoying this activity. I’m watching this to see other people’s tips as my mom got a new dog who is interested in the water.

*You did well with Loki* *I taught my Akita/Husky cross named Scout to ride on the back seat of my Gold Wing.* *I've found that most large dogs just chill and relax during new experiences ... when they trust you.* *Great video guys. Can't wait to get our kayaks and get on the water again.*

[@TheComebackKid]

Hi no nonsense! Thanks for watching! Also thanks for sharing about your pup on your gold wing, that’s awesome! Keep an eye out for a video I’ll post soon, as a primer, we went on vacation recently, went kayaking, brought Loki and saw wild dolphins within only a few feet of us an Loki. Thanks again for watching!

Love it!! He's so well behaved. My husband purchased me a Perception tandem for me and my Great Dane service dog. I've yet to go on the water with her. I'm just praying she won't pitch us overboard. She's kinda hefty.

[@TheComebackKid]

Hi freelayncer thanks for watching and the feedback! You’ll have to post a video of you setting sail with your Great Dane! 😀

I just covered my aft deck with neoprene for my dog to have a decent amount of traction to stay on the boat. She goes everywhere I go so I do expect it will be a good experience and she will find it enjoyable

@@TheComebackKid He did good this weekend. It definitely helped to have him when it dropped in the 40s. He was a good warmer. Im gonna make a video soon. I had to walk around 2 rapid sections cuz i wasnt about to risk it with him. I bought a neoprine vest and put noodles on it cuz i couldnt find doggie vest. Next time it will only be for small trips

[@Bobsterz61]

Yes you were possibly thinking of a thunder jacket "comfort Jacket☺️

[@sharonhamilton9496]

Where can I find such streams?? I long to have a kayak. I’ve had my heart set on a big Hobie... hope the name is right. -Its been two years since I’ve seen it.😃. They aren’t getting any cheaper! Ebay maybe!!? Loki is an awesome puppy! What a beauty!!!! Why did he cry when he saw your wife? Worried about her? Loki wanted to jump ship! The leash is important in case he sees a buck or a cougar or black bear 🐻

[@shanavickers778]

Love this video! Sweet boy! What are you recording with-it’s a great video-nice pic and sound. Just curious. Thanks

[@TheComebackKid]

Hi Shana! I filmed the video on my GoPro hero 5 black. Thanks for watching, Loki says hi!

[@heatherproctor5691]

This is awesome! I have a blue heeler who loves the water and would love this. I am looking into the tandem sit on top kayaks or the fishing sit on top kayaks. Glad to see it can be done in a single kayak! Did he try and jump out at all at fish? I'm worried about my pup trying to jump on gators as we live in FL and spot them on every kayak trip.

[@TheComebackKid]

Hi Heather! First off thanks for watching. Loki does great every time we go kayaking, just lays there and enjoys the ride. For further proof of this, check out my video titled “puppy kayaks with dolphins”. In that video we were kayaking with Loki and two wild dolphins swam around our kayaks for hours. This didn’t bother Loki at all. Thanks again for watching!

[@heatherproctor5691]

PAHHKtheCAHHR thanks! I'll check it out now :)

[@kayla-ashleyehring3185]

I might have missed it, but do you make a little cushion for him or was that part of the kayak? how did you make him more comfortable ? Thank you for the video !!

[@TheComebackKid]

Hi Kayla. We serve in flight kayak drinks to make my german shepherd more comfortable and gently sing him christmas songs. Thanks for watching.

[@sharonhamilton9496]

[@MyEnemy]

How close are you and Loki to the weight capacity on the kayak? I wanna try this with my boston terrier.

[@paingoret6]

I wish I was able to simply lift my 108 lb long bodied and freaks-out-easily lab x into a kayak. I just bought my first one and we're going to have to take the long route of taking time to desensitize and get him comfortable in and around it starting in the house.

[@TheComebackKid]

Hi paing! You can do it, just might take some training but once you get your pup comfortable in the kayak you and your pup will love it! Thanks for watching!

[@reyrolando86]

Lovely dog, I too have a GSD and just purchased a kayak. Did he take a while to get used to getting in the kayak and in the water? Mines doesn't seem to like the kayak.

[@TheComebackKid]

Hi Rolando! Thanks for watching and commenting! To answer your question, I started him young like maybe a couple months old and honestly he enjoyed it from the very first day. He jumped in the kayak the first boat trip right onto my lap, he’s enjoyed the hot rides ever since. I’d say ease into it with your pup if they’re not loving it like Loki did. You’ll get there!

[@alekwithak5853]

Good boy confirmed!

[@6870boardman]

[@tayleeu9143]

Why does your dog need a life jacket? No hate just curious

[@eddiestansel1457]

Much easier to start when they are pups. Just took my 4 month old black lab/golden retriever mix and he did fine jumped in a few times but what would you expect from a water dog

[@TheComebackKid]

Hi Eddie! Agreed, that’s why we started Loki at a young age, it’d be tough getting a couple year old 100lb german shepherd into a kayak without having ever done it before. Good luck with your pup!

[@justrelaxinginmn]

What size kayak and anything special? I don't have kayak and would like to get one. Also have a 80 lb lab/retriever and has never been in a kayak

[@TheComebackKid]

Hi Leroy. My kayak in the video is one I bought at dicks sporting goods for $179, its a pelican brand kayak.

[@xavierdiaz1829]

Hi how big is the kayak ? I have a Shepard as well

[@TheComebackKid]

Hi Xavier. I believe my kayak is like 8 or 9 feet long. Let me know how your kayaking trip goes with your pal your Shepherd!

[@catniptrips7783]

How long was this ride? Also is Loki leaning onto a pillow or backpack?

[@TheComebackKid]

Hi catniptrips! First off thanks for watching. This trip was a little over 2 hours. Loki is resting on my Goruck GR1 backpack, I had clothes and a towel in it so it was nice and soft. He loves riding in the kayak with us!

[@whitneylee3460]

Such a cute puppers! Wanting to take my large senior golden retriever yakking in my new 10.5 ft kayak. He loves to swim. Anyone have any tips for kayaking with a large dog that likes to swim? I don’t know how they get back in after exiting the boat into the water! Hoping this is possible because I know he’d love it if I can figure it out! Thanks.

[@TheComebackKid]

Hi Whitney! My tip would be to get your pup use to the boat/kayak ride. Loki loves swimming as well and is known to “abandon ship” every now and again 😀Thanks for watching.

[@whitneylee3460]

What do you mean by boat/ kayak ride? And it’s a great video loved watching bc I stumbled on it after watching ur vid of him in the boat! My dog is about the same size and kinda heavy lol I’m afraid I won’t be able to pull him back into the yak!

Why does your dog need a life vest

[@cassiebrodeur4256]

Awesome video but it's not very safe to have him leashed up to the boat. I would hate for the kayak to flip and the poor pup get hurt. Maybe just keeping the leash within your reach but not connected would be a safer idea

[@nunyabusiness780]

It wasn't tied

[@TheComebackKid]

Thank you safety police, please schedule an eye exam as soon as possible, the leash was not tied to anything, it never is.

[@vonnierung4688]

Still could get tangled on something underwater, especially if you were to tip by submerged branches. Personally, I just keep the leash handy next to me and clip it on as we are approaching shore.

Why does your dog need a life vest

[@gvn2fly101]

What if the dog jumps or falls off, panics and swims away from the kayak? What if kayak flips/sinks? Dogs are good swimmers but they can’t tread water for ever.
