Proud first time dog owner here.
Rescued this 1-1/2 year old pittie mix at the end of March this year. Been working on "in", "out" of the canoe in the backyard the last few weeks. Saturday we got on the water for the first time. Did a quick 15 minute paddle close to shore, then let her get out and play in the water. Then got back in and another 45 minute paddle around a small lake.
Shes a natural!
Next test will be catching a fish with her in the canoe....baby steps :)
