Dog ashore to check out all those great smells and a squat. Then we can
get supper. One more turn on the shore before we turn in.

That is why I carry a inflated Dink on the stern pulpit.

You're right Kate, easier to row than fool with an OB

You should train your dog to go on the bow - a lot easier than rowing ashore,
especially in foul weather. Fortunately, our dog needed little encouragement,
plus we have a trampoline and a washdown hose. I just have to make sure the
forward hatches are closed before we let her out in the morning!

And for going ashore, a float works better than a dink, assuming the water is
warm!

Jeff,
Does Loki go up and down the stern ladder without prodding or do you have to
use an incentive? Chopper will go up fine, but the down trip usually
involves a leap at the last minute, which can be quite unsettling (65 lbs of
dog into the middle of a tippy dinghy...).

Loki is the boat; Molly is the dog.

Molly will try to go where we lead, but she does hesitate. We found the
lifejacket, which has a big handle on it, makes things easy - when she feels you
lift with the handle she knows she's going.

For swimming, we started using the float to give her easy access both up and
down. Its funny, even though she's a Portuguese Water Dog, she prefers the
float to actually swimming. Maybe this year she'll do better - we're told it
really takes a few years to learn how to swim efficiently.

We keep the life hacket on Choppie in the water, roo and wwhile in the
donghy...he has the same "water dog" problem...goes in willingly but won't
swim a lick without the life jacket..prefers to stand on his hind legs
walking out until he's shoulder height standing upright...really
weird....the labs and goldens don't seem to have these
proclivities....haven't tried him on a float, yet...maybe that would
work....
