If you take your dog or a friend ’ s dog , you must know the dog that you are taking out
and whether you need to take extra precautions for them . For example , Percy hates waves , so when a boat passes by and causes waves , I now tend to get on my knees to gently hold Percy or sometimes he will sit between my knees . We remain like this until the waves pass ; I think this makes him feel safe . We then resume our normal position . Think about whether anything startles your dog , and then think about the location and suitability for you and your dog .
Check the weather conditions The key point is to check the weather conditions . Percy hates having spray from waves in his face , and I imagine most dogs would feel the same . This will make it unpleasant for them , making it uncomfortable for the paddler . One time I got caught out with wind and swell , and I allowed Percy to sit behind me for the first time , keeping him dry . This worked and was OK , but I feared he would fall off and I wouldn ’ t notice hence why I like him to always be in my view .
