Hey guys, Hopefully everyone's having a killer season so far....or for those who season never ended. Anyway im looking for some tips on fishing with a dog. I've got a lab pup on the way and I wanna trainer her to be a fishing buddy. Any tips would be great? Whens the best time to start taking them out? how do you keep them from swimming out to you? anything at all. Thanks!
I have a chocolate lab that is just over a year and I brought him with me since I got him at 8 weeks. He is a great fishing buddy, while I am doing my thing he is usually sniffing around on the bank looking for something to eat ( he loves to eat). He also likes to come over and check the fish out once you have one in the net. I have never had a problem with him swimming out to me he is usually occupied by his nose. I would just bring him or her out when ever you get a chance. Good luck let us know how it works out.....another thing is if you plan on putting your dog in a boat do it right off. I had ours in my boat on the river very early and he is great in the boat. Just lies there and sleeps. Have fun.
