2. Water excursions

Several places around Montreal offer canoe or kayak rentals where dogs are welcome. The Mille Îles River, for example, offers peaceful and beautiful excursions.
More original: the paddle board! Sup Shop in Chateauguay offers them for rent or at the Oka National Park. Ask the SUP rental companies, not all of them accept dogs on their boards.
Make sure your dog is comfortable in the water and put a life jacket on him for added safety.
