gonna see how he likes the boat this weekend weather permitting. I'm guessing hes going to be pretty scared at first... Any tips on getting him used to it?
Any of my dogs that I trained for duck hunting, we always start out with the boat on dry land. It lets them used to the new surroundings before it starts moving under his feet. Plenty of praise and no force. If you have to drag him into the boat - don't do it or it will be a problem forever. Good luck -

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day ...
show him where to fish and ... you'll be sorry
