Corgis on boats
Hi there,
I know its not completely the same, but we take our corgi, Colby out on our boat and hes still a baby too.
He is just 6 months and we started at about 5 months.
We have a power boat, a 16ft Ranger Bass Boat that we take on various lakes in our area.
We purchased a life preserver from Petsmart. It is made by Outward Hound. Not really a plug, just that I tried another brand in 2 diff. sizes and didnt find it to be made nearly as well.
We let the dog hang out in the boat in the yard for a few days before his maiden voyage. Scoping it out, sniffing etc. We ran the motor and played with all the controls and noise makers.
The first day out was a riot...he spend most of the time barking at everything and listening to his own echo....
And one thing I learned was if he wants to jump in...let him!!
We just made sure to keep a leash on him too as now it became a game of water chase me!!!
I almost had a heart attack when he first went in, but he surfaced fine and after that every time got easier....he seems to like it alot...although some of his pics tell another story....
Best of luck and I hope this was helpful??
Julie
