How to get a dog to sit in a boat?
Your dog must know key commands before you hit the water. They should quickly respond to sit, stay, and leave it so you retain control during boating. It also helps to teach boat-specific commands like load up for boarding and place to direct them to their spot. Drop treats between their paws, she says. That prevents an excited dog from getting in the way and can help anxious dogs feel like this is a safe spot. The goal is teaching that calm, settled behavior and slowly building them up to the boat moving and more noises while always keeping it short and fun for them.
