Together, we’ll build your confidence for amazing SUP adventures with your four-legged companion!
I am in no way a Stand-up paddleboarding expert, I work with a variety of paddle sports leaders and trainers with whom these training days are coordinated so that sessions are tailored to improve both your confidence and your dogs.
-Group sessions
These are designed for dog owners who already have some experience with Sup and would like to introduce their dog to the board.
Sup Instruction will be covered on land covering safety, terminology, and technique.
Then we will warm up your dog with some training exercises to build their confidence and relationship with your board.
Land Seals sessions cover canine conditioning training required to enjoy days on the water with your dog .
We will teach you the tips and tricks to be able to paddle safely and confidently together & cover different scenarios to help prepare you for all your future adventures together.
A short guided group paddle will be organized, tailored to the abilities of the participants, this will be relatively close to the shoreline at all times.
➤ Must have own equipment (no hire available) (Canine buoyancy aids can be provided with prior arrangement )
Sea Dawg sessions are a great progression from Land Seal sessions as more time is spent out on the water developing skills further.
