I'm having an unexpected problem with my dog. He'll stay on the boat when I'm free diving and come right back up. He won't stay when I scuba. We've been taking him out on the inflatables and trying to teach him to stay put and its not working at all. He'll wait a few minutes for me to come back up and then he bails even he's being held back by force in an attempt to teach him that he needs to wait. He gets really spooked and anxious.
Is anyone else taking along a dog that they've taught not to panic when you don't surface right away? If so, how did you teach him to wait? I'd really hate to have to leave him home whenever I go diving.
(I wouldn't tie him to the boat and leave him any more than I would roll up the windows on the truck and leave him so don't even suggest that)
Any other ideas?
