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.

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.

Bologna...no more than when you house train a dog. Responsible owners =

them to eat twice a day and not on a continuous basis. =20

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.

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.
