A surfer has turned his water talents in to helping dogs surf with their owners.
Dogs enjoy surfing
Chris De Aboitiz, nicknamed the Australian dog whisperer, has been teaching those to surf for 15 years but has made his job more interesting by allowing pet parents to bring their pooches on board with them so he can combine his talents.
He said: ''It's combining what we love to do; we love dogs, we love the water and we love to teach.
''We teach people to better understand their dog and their dog behaviour through having fun.''
He also insisted that his new method is organic and helps dogs to bond with their owners, as he teaches the pets discipline at the same time.
He told ABC.net : ''Educating people to better understand their dogs and have a happy balance with them (is the goal).''
