Invest in a Dog Car Seat Cover &#8211; Trust Us!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1200\" height=\"687\" src=\"https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/2_Hammock.jpg\" alt=\"car hammock\" class=\"wp-image-15283\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on their breed your dog\u2019s coat might hold a LOT of water and sand, and they\u2019re bringing all that fun home from the beach with them! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Leather seats in your vehicle are a good idea too, but if you don\u2019t have them, you really need a car seat cover for a beach trip with your dog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h3>5. Rinse Your Dog\u2019s Coat After Getting Wet And Wild<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Saltwater can dry out your dog\u2019s skin, especially if it clings to their coat. Freshwater lakes, ponds, or rivers can contain algae or bacteria that you don\u2019t want your pup carrying around. Give a quick rinse in the outdoor shower or with the garden hose to keep your dog\u2019s coat clean and healthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>The 8 Commands Your Dog Needs For the Beach<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Outward-Hound_Granby-Life-Jacket-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"dog on the beach with a ball\" class=\"wp-image-20197\" srcset=\"https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Outward-Hound_Granby-Life-Jacket-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Outward-Hound_Granby-Life-Jacket-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Outward-Hound_Granby-Life-Jacket-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Outward-Hound_Granby-Life-Jacket.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3>1. Wait<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWait\u201d is a good command to have down to have your dog stay put for a brief moment until you tell them what\u2019s next. It comes in handy when getting your dog out of the car, putting on their leash or life vest, or <a href=\"https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/water-safety\/dog-kayak-tips-for-smooth-sailing\">getting on and off the boat.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>2. Leave It<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLeave It\u201d is essential for any time you bring your dog around things that are tempting, like other people\u2019s toys or lunches. Keep your pup from sniffing around anyone\u2019s lunch or getting curious about what\u2019s in their beach bag by making sure they know when to leave something alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>3. With Me<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWith me\u201d is the perfect transition command and signal for your dog to walk close to you. It\u2019s good for going from one place to the next with your dog off-leash, or even if you just want to keep them focused and walking alongside you without getting distracted while on-leash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>4. Sit<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSit\u201d is an important command for when you reach your beach spot and are ready to relax. Ideally, when you give this command your dog won\u2019t move from the sitting position, and won\u2019t engage in behaviors like jumping or going after anything exciting\u2014like toys, food, or other pups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>5. Stay<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cStay\u201d is a command that takes consistent practice, even on a daily basis for really energetic dogs. Telling your dog to stay indicates that they need to remain in place for a longer period of time. The more you repeat the command and reward the expected behavior for \u201cstay,\u201d the better self-control your dog will have at the beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>6. Come (or another recall cue)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCome\u201d also takes some special consideration to master, and should always be rewarded with positive reinforcement. You want your dog to <em>want<\/em> to come to you! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This command is useful in bringing your dog back in all kinds of situations but important for keeping your dog safe in the sand and waves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>7. Place or Bed<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPlace\u201d makes it clear to your dog that they\u2019d better get comfortable. If you\u2019re going to use this command away from home or their regular place, try to use a consistent item like a blanket or dog bed you can take with you. Your dog will know their smell and feel comfortable posting up in their designated spot for a beach day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>8. No<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNo\u201d is a universal command and fast, clear way of letting your dog know to stop what they\u2019re doing. It\u2019s also a good cue to cut it out before behavior becomes an issue, like if you notice your dog taking an interest in wildlife or someone else\u2019s beach snacks. Be sure to also pair the word \u201cyes\u201d with positive affection when your pup does a good job!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-100\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-text-color\" href=\"https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/dogs\/do-dogs-need-sunscreen\">Related reading: Do Dogs Need Sunscreen?
