Don't want to sound cruel, but if he did it again, I'd take my time about loading him back up in the boat. Let him get tired of swimming, maybe real tired.
A dogs reasoning is pretty simple. If it's enjoyable they'll keep doing it.
if it's an unpleasant experience, they won't. Kind of like us I guess.
My bro-in-law had a Jack Russell that jumped out of a V20 going across Tampa Bay years ago. We don't know how long he was swimming because no one saw him jump but when we back-tracked and finally found him he was luvin that boat. I mean luvin it. He never jumped out again.
