  • Make sure your dog likes water before the adventure (otherwise, he might let you down when you leave 😅).
  • Keep your dog on a leash upon arrival and before boarding. We'll avoid any small scent markings 😉
  • On the shuttle: leash required and no dogs on the seats or laps.

Other animals on site

🐶Laya: Beauceron Greyhound, 12 years old, medium size: guardian of the place, kayaker and professional sunbather. No need for a bell, she's the one who signals the arrival of customers to Cyrielle. She will come and say hello to you at the reception, but her training as a hostess is not yet up to scratch and your reassuring gestures will do her the world of good. Don't worry, she is friendly under her grumpy exterior. As for dogs, she has mastered the codes perfectly and will get to know yours up close or from afar, then will go back to take her nap. She willingly shares her water bowl with the others. A bit of a VIP (it must be said), Laya is the only one who doesn't wear a leash or a collar, because the bond between her and Cyrielle is enough. 🐕Other dogs:  It may happen that other dogs come with their humans at the same time as you. Cyrielle makes sure to inform you so that everyone can make arrangements if necessary. Cyrielle never interferes in meetings between dogs because you are the best placed to adopt the best attitude towards your dog. The only rule is that your dog's behavior must be controlled and not endanger other people or animals present. 🐿️🐸🐦Wildlife:  Squirrels, frogs, ducks, American mink, herons, and kingfishers are the main animals you'll encounter on land or water. If your dog has a hunting instinct, take precautions to prevent him from chasing them during your canoe trip.

    Great experience with Jacy, meeting Jack who jumped out of the kayak at the first opportunity! Luckily Cyrielle was watching and rescued him! We were able to experience a wonderful descent down the cool river, discovering dragonflies, birds... Jacy, who behaved well throughout, loved it as much as we did!
