Our lab has had a tough time getting in and out of our boat. Part of
this is due to a high dock -- or low water, depending on your perspective. The critical thing is getting out of the water We went swimming off the back, but she had a tough time getting on the swim platform afterwards. I'm sure it wasn't pleasant for her to be pulled and pushed, and I'm thinking that, since many people hunt with labs from boats, there's a good way to get her on board. |

He walks the gunwales around the windshield and hangs 10 off the bow whenever he gets the chance. It's interesting when he sees a beaver, but luckily is pretty obedient. DJ |

Beaver? Where do you boat? The only beaver I see around here is 15 year old
girls on Jet Skis, and who wants an airhead on a Jet Ski? We have a serious shortage of decent boat beaver. |

Can a dog be trained to be very selective about the beaver it detects?
Weight, age, lack of morals, that sort of thing? I normally consider dogs to be nothing but pistol targets, but if I had one that was truly useful....who knows? "CCred68046" wrote in message ... Yea, what kind of beaver did you think I was talking about? 8-) DJ Hey, you want to sell that dog? :) |

Here's what I did with my dog Chancey:
1. At home, near stern of the trailered boat, I set up an ordinary step ladder. Any height ladder will do. 2. I began training Chancey to "Climb" by placing one paw at a time on step ladder steps, while using the command "CLIMB"(use same command, be consistent, don't use a bunch of words). I only got him to the first two steps of the step ladder, bcz he was quite resistant to that particular training. But I repeated the training! 3. When Chancey and I finally got to the lake a week or two later, he ended up in the water unexpectedly. I called him toward the swim ladder, grabbed him by scruff of his neck, and issued the command "CLIMB"! He climbed up the swim ladder with just a little help from me. As there is no way I could lift this 90 LBS dog (dry) out of the water while bending over the stern, by back would snap and then dog and I would both need rescue.

Based on AKC registrations, the Lab is the most popular dog (154,616 registered in 2002) in the US. Second place is the Golden (56,124). These are huge numbers compared to most other breeds. Numbers like that lead to sloppy breeding. You offer good advice about checking lineage. For problems like hip dysplasia, you can't really tell if a puppy has a problem, even with xrays. You need to look the parents and grandparents. Respectable breeders will have there breeding dogs evaluated and graded by the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA). You're rollng the dice if you are not seeing OFA good or excellent. You should also research the breeder's standing with the local or national breed organizations - make sure you are not buying from a puppy mill. |

Now... how do we get her on the boat? (Actually, she's getting on the boat well. One step, then to the bow, then in the bow hatch, through the cabin to the stern where she takes up all the room with her wiggly body waiting for everyone else to load up). The problem now is getting her off, and in/out of the water. It looks like she'll be OK with some practice. |

My dog used to whine when he had to go for a walk. I would open the transom
door, he would swim ashore, go the bathroom and then swim back to the boat. The only problem is would then whine and scratch at the hatch, because I would not let him go down below until he had dried off I know many boaters use a piece of astro turf to allow them to go the bathroom on the Astroturf and then wash the Astroturf off in the water.

The pet stores sell those "wee wee" pads for training puppies. They are pretty large. Our dogs would use the "wee-wee" pads. Scotch, being a decent sized male that pee'd without squatting, would sometimes miss the pad. However he seldom ended up in that situation - both of our dogs could go several hours between "bio breaks". There were times we would force him outside because he would go so long without "asking". When the weather was bad he would look out the door and retreat as if to say, "I can hold it until it stops raining." We would order him out sometimes... "Look! You've been in the house for 10 hours! That can't be healthy! Now go OUTSIDE and pee on something!" We dinghyed the dogs to shore four or five times a day when we were out on the hook or something. Sounds like a lot, but over a 24 hour period, it isn't that bad. First thing in the morning, a couple of times during the day, and then a trip before bedtime. That doesn't work, of course, if you are too far from shore or conditions make going in the dinghy a little risky (under those conditions - there wouldn't likely be people swimming around the boat so I wouldn't be too concered about washing anything overboard). I don't have any heartache with picking up the solid waste and putting it down the head. I don't think dog crap has any detrimental effect on my lectra-san. Peggy will probably pipe up now and ruin my day - there's probably something in dog crap that will make my lectra san run backward or something.... with my luck. :-) If you are not willing to deal with this, don't take your dog boating. In fact, if you are not willing to deal with cleaning up after you dog, please don't take it anywhere. Parks, sidewalks, highway reststops, wherever - you should be cleaning up after you dog no matter where you take it. Why should it be any different on your boat. Heck! we have a baby on the way. Starting in January, cleaning up after a dog is going to seem like a pretty light chore. We are dogless right now. We lost our 14 year old keeshond on February, and our briard in June at 12 years. I have told my wife that I really don't miss cleaning up the yard every other day. That doesn't keep us from wanting another dog - but I think I will lobby for only having one. "Near this spot are deposited the remains of one who possessed Beauty without Vanity, Strength without Insolence, Courage without Ferocity, and all the Virtues of Man without his Vices. This praise, which would be unmeaning Flattery, if inscribed over human ashes, is but just a Tribute to the Memory of BOTSWAIN, a dog." – John Cam Hobhouse "Wildest Dream" wrote in message . net... where doe's the dog go to the bathroom on the boat?
