Tips for duck hunting with a dog in waste deep water?

I am struggling coming up with a way to effectively duck hunt with my dog in waste deep or so water without timber nearby.
A chair or marsh seat wouldn't be tall enough. I don't have a tree to mount something on. I will be wading, but will have to paddle in with a kayak. I could just hunt her out of the kayak, but then I would have to brush the kayak in which would be an extra hassle. Does the OB have any ideas?
I have thought about dragging something like a utility sled behind my kayak and hunting her from there but am concerned about stability when she gets in and out.
Here's a pic of a utility sled I am thinking about:

Don't hunt in sanitation plants
Edit:
Sled sounds like a solid idea. Let me know how it works. I know one guy that had a plastic poker table in a spot he used a lot.

I'm an env. consultant. Work is on the brain. That's my excuse anyway.

Stability would suck. Would not do. How about a make shift raft with a pallet on top. Wide enough to support your dog and maybe even gear. How big is your dog?

Constant height or varies?

Sounds like you're going to be the retriever, hoss!

Varies
and the dog is only 28lb boykin - she's in my sig image if that helps. Next year I'll have a 45lb labkin though, so something that could accommodate both separately would be ideal.

I know they make marsh platforms for dogs and tree platforms for dogs might want to check that out. I'm looking for a good link.

Camo the top of it.

Dog stilts, or build some kind of waist high platform.

Shouldn't be a problem with a large sled but jumping in and out might present a issue for the dog.

one of these
plus
some 1" schedule 40 pvc pipe and fittings and you should be able to build a easily transportable and easily assembled stand for the pup.
add a section or two of pool noodle foam and you can float it behind the kayak.

my dogs first year I hunted out of a yak no problem. I have a two man sit in yak I took the front seat out and made a flat platform when turned one way it fits in the boat then i can take it out and set it across the boat with cuts in the bottom rails so it wouldnt move and she would sit on top its much quieter ill try to find a pic.

Get that and build a set of PVC pipe outriggers and add a couple of those pool tubes.
