Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit or any restrictions for the dogs joining the Paddle with Pups experience?

A: There's no strict age limit for dogs, but it's best that they are comfortable in water and can sit still for a bit. If your pup is nervous, a calmer, older dog might do better. Just check with the provider if you're unsure about any specific breeds or sizes—you want to make sure your pup has a good time!

Q: What should we wear to the Paddle with Pups experience? Any tips?

A: Wear something comfy and waterproof! Quick-dry clothing is your best bet since you might get splashed by your pup. Don't forget to bring a hat and sunscreen, even if it looks cloudy. And if you're bringing your dog, maybe pack a towel for them too!

Q: How easy is it for beginners? I’m really worried I’ll tip over with my pup!

A: The experience is designed for beginners, so don’t stress! The calm waters at Lake Ivanhoe mean there's minimal risk of tipping over. Plus, the guides are super helpful and will give you pointers on balance. Just take your time and focus on your pup—it's all about having fun together!

Thinking of gifting the Paddle with Pups experience - would my dog like it?

I’m considering this experience for my best friend who has a super friendly golden retriever. They both love the outdoors, but I’m not sure if her dog will actually enjoy kayaking or paddleboarding. Has anyone done this experience with a big dog? How did it go?

Just did Paddle with Pups - the best day ever!

Okay, just got back from Paddle with Pups at Lake Ivanhoe and seriously, it was AMAZING! The water was so calm, and my pup felt completely safe. The life vest fit perfectly, and our guide was super chill. Definitely taking my friends back with their pups soon!
