For 4 years I had a chocolate lab on the boat with me 5 days a week without fail. I wish I could give you words of wisdom but I have none. He was just a pup when I started but I never had any issues with him. He loved being in the boat. But he hated it when I would open it up. From day one if I was fishing standing timber or stumps he would constantly bark at the wood. Never did understand why he did that. I attribute my luck to the dog. I think I just had one that was exceptionally smart. I kept him in the house and he trained his self. I would say just take him out and see. I think you’ll find out pretty quick if the dog takes to it. Best of luck.
