I am planning on training my dog, 4 yo cattle dog mix, to sit on a SUP with me. I was wondering if I should tether him to the board by a bungee leash, similar to the ankle leash humans wear?

We will both have life vests on.

He doesn't really like to swim, but doesn't have the best depth perception so I could see him walking off the board into the lake at the beginning, especially if he sees a gull or duck he wants to chase.

Looking forward to advice and success stories!
