Remarkable experiences shared during the Rasdorfer Fell gathering, as participants enjoyed canoeing expeditions alongside their cherished companions
Canine Canoeing: A New Adventure Awaits at the Rasdorfer Felltreff
Dog owners looking for a unique way to bond with their pets can now explore the waterways together, thanks to the Rasdorfer Felltreff. This organisation, based in Germany, offers land and water trainings for humans and their dogs, with a focus on canoeing.
The Rasdorfer Felltreff's water trainings are part of their mission to inspire humans and their dogs to take up canoeing together. They've even acquired canoes specifically for these water adventures. By signing up on their official website, www.rasdorfer-felltreff.de, you can join Myriam and Sandra, the founders of the Rasdorfer Felltreff, for an unforgettable canoeing experience with your dog.
For those who may have doubts about the feasibility of canoeing with their dogs, the Rasdorfer Felltreff provides guidance. They encourage shared aquatic adventures between humans and their dogs, and their water trainings are a way for dog owners to engage in a new hobby with their pets.
So, how can you prepare for a canoeing trip with your dog? Here are some key steps and safety precautions:
- Gradually prepare your dog for the canoe. Introduce them to the canoe on land first, letting them explore and become comfortable around it without pressure. Begin with short paddles on calm, shallow water to build confidence.
- Use proper safety gear. Equip your dog with a well-fitting dog life jacket (personal flotation device) that has a handle for easy rescue if needed. Make sure you also wear your life jacket.
- Check the environment. Choose calm water areas with minimal boat traffic and avoid sharp objects in the water that could hurt your dog’s paws. Bring plenty of fresh water and snacks to keep your dog hydrated and energized.
- Trim your dog’s nails. This reduces the risk of claws snagging on canoe surfaces or gear.
- Keep an eye on your dog. Always monitor your dog closely during the trip and be prepared to help if they become stressed or unsteady.
