Went Kayaking with My Pup - Took the Jeep of Course

  • We hit 84 degrees here in PA on Saturday (Only 42 yesterday) so I decided to hit the lake with the pup. I normally put my kayak on my VW Golf TDI as I have a kayak rack. But, it was so nice yesterday I figured I'd just mount it to the sport bars. Worked great! This was also the first time using the Versa-Brella. I highly recommend it if you have a snow dog who enjoys being outside in warm weather. It does somewhat act as a sail/resistance trainer, so that's fun too.

  • Looks like he's enjoying it. He doesn't move around too much for the Kayak?

    Thanks! When we first started last year she would walk to the front, turn around, walk back to me, then stay in my face and whine. We have been out maybe 10 or so times since then. The more we go, the less she whines and the more she learns. This time, she just tried to get into the water right at launch. Then she was fine. As you can see from the photos, she still wanders the kayak depending on who/what is around us. *knock on wood* no close calls with capsizing thus far. She understands if she moves too much things get wobbly and she doesn't like that.
