  • Curtiss Park 61 Tariffville Road Simsbury, CT, 06070 United States (map)

Have you every wanted to take your dog paddling with you? And maybe weren't sure how to get started... this Introduction to Paddling with your Dog is a class designed specifically for you and your dog to learn together.

Our 90 minute adventure, will begin on land, teaching our dogs to be comfortable with our equipment and showing them skills you'll need out on the water. We will then take it to the river, incorporating what we've learned. Each dog responds differently to paddling and you will be give instructions and suggestions, so you can support your dog and grow together as you adventure more together on the water. Dogs should be social or neutral with people and other dogs.

This class is BYOG (Bring Your Own Gear). You will need a paddleboard or kayak, paddle, a life jacket for yourself and a life jacket for your dog. You will want to have treats, your dog's collar, a 6ft leash and a 15-20 ft leash.
