Our dog, a standard poodle named Chopper, has been sailing with us since
puppyhood. He has an exceptionally strong bladder and incentive to hold
on what he's got (which comes from decent training). We dinghy him
in...sometimes we drive the boat up to the docks, I leap off with the
dog, mr. sails takes a turn around the mooring field, and voila! we're
back and on board....Choppie jumps from the back of the transom into the
dinghy and jumps off the dock into the dinghy on command. Some people
don't want to do all the dinghying stuff, so they either teach the dog
to go down the scuppers or put astro-turf on the bow, which to me, is
very gross and disgusting. Little dogs can be trained to use litter
boxes just like cats...at least then it's contained somewhere and not
out in the open and offensive.


Hello Katy,

Here in Maui I've meet a couple from Holland that have a dog called a
Schipperky, thats German for little Captain. He's a small all black
dog that is awesome on a boat, No tail, they love to swim, the do not
smell like a wet dog when they are wet. He's been 3/4 the way around
the earth via sail and has never lived ashore. They put a small 2'X 2'
piece of canvas on the deck near the stern that the dog uses every
time. They just toss it overboard and rinse it and put it back on
deck. You can not row up to their boat without that dog barking. The
dog also barks every time the bilge pump cuts on. He told me the dogs
where raised in Antwerp to guard barges on the canals in Europe. They
are also used to De-rat the barges and boats. Hes excellent at eating
crabs, he catches his own and does a great job killing and eating
them. He's the coolest dog I've ever seen and the perfect size for a
boat, and he sure aint no sissy poodle. Everwhere Jergen goes on or
off that boat his dog is by his side. I'm getting a puppy ASAP.

Doing that increases the risk of bladder cancer, colon cancer or a prolapsed
colon. It's also cruel.
If the dog has to go, let it go. You can bag it up with a baggie or just
toss it into the head. If you are really anal about it, put diapers on the
dog.

A pet monkey is much more useful.

It can climb the rigging, alert you to newcomers, perform menial tasks and,
in your case, give you a competitive chess game.

How many of you take your dogs on board. How do you go on with them
needing to "use the loo", both ways g, if you are sailing say,
overnight?

This guy named Bobsprit takes dogs aboard his boat all the time
and never has trouble training them not to poop. Here are some
pictures of them.

You Yanks are really geographically challenged.... it's a Belgian Barge
Dog. I hate it when they crop tails and dock ears. Nice little dog though.
Good Luck...

Bologna...no more than when you house train a dog. Responsible owners =
make sure the dog is allowed to do its' duty when it has to...when dog's =
are pups, you train them to defecate only after they eat and you train =
them to eat twice a day and not on a continuous basis. =20

So do you feed you dog only when ashore?

Do you go only on short excursions?

Holding a dump can lead to an impacted stool. Give the animal plenty of
water and let it go when it has to. You can control where, but not when. No
dog has a twelve or six hour bowel cycle.

Yes, they do....My grandmother raised and showed dogs, as did my mother, =
