Dogs on boats!

[harstonwood]

After watching a dog have a wazz on a marina berth powerpoint this morning!
I really am struggling to understand the whole dogs on boat thing!

Don't get me wrong......I like dogs, but do dogs like boats?

Any way good news....the dogs danglies are still intact

Ours dont seem to mind ,

Keeping them cool out of the sun is more of a problem on the boat .

I wouldn't want to take my boat into a marina, never mind the dog.

...and marina berth powerpoints don't get rained on, or splashed, or live in a salt water environment??

My 3 love the boat and marinas, although they do have trouble understanding the whole humans on boat thing - as I said to someone rafted alongside when he said "Oh, I don't like dogs..." "It's alright, my dogs don't like some people..."

Dogs on boats are no different than dogs in houses or cars.

Best not leave it laying across the pontoon then, 2 of them are female and don't cock their legs. You'll have your work cut out chasing away the shitehawks and the pissed up boaties too.

I only see one dog there and two rather large rats!

Never underestimate a Yorkie - if my breeding programme is successful and I get them as big as Great Danes, world domination will be mine...

I like dogs.

What i don't like are the inconsiderate <insert range of unpleasant names and swear words> owners that some of them have.

Why do some owners think it's OK for the dog to roam around crapping and pissing anywhere it chooses ? Or to run around the deck yapping all day/night ? Or to sit in the backyard next to mine yapping all day to be let into the house ?

etc, etc, etc.

I think the owners should all be put to sleep and good homes be found for the dogs

This one is always first on board.

I have a confession. Gosport Marina. Another forumites dog (Cocker Spaniel) was following me. We passed a boat and crew who were in the middle of unloading their boat.
The pillow on the pontoon was too much for the dog to just walk on by. White turned to yellow.

Bout to take our dog onto our new boat this weekend for first time.had her riding in a kayak last week, she loved it. No such thing as a badly behaved dog only badly behaved owners. Responsible dog owners hate the actions of irresponsible ones too.

I completely agree, we are teaching our dog to enjoy our new boat with us. He is quite nervous still, but definately prefers being with us than staying with mum and dad. I am very strict about not letting him even think about peeing on the pontoons, he will soon work out that he has to wait to get to dry land before he goes.

Our dogs have been raised on our boat since they were pups. The Silky seems to have a taste for mahogony. Luckily the pup part is passed. Now it's a pleasure having them aboard. The going ashore for a walk becomes more of an adventure than dog walk. They both want to leap off the dingy and play. Just like having kids aboard you neeed to find a way for them to burn off that excess energy or they will find ways to get in trouble. By the way the silky (the one that looks like a wet rat) is a yorkie on steroids. One step closer to the great dane size. The Portuguese water dog is happiest when she has the whole family together and is sopping wet. Since everyone else was posting pictures of their mutts all nice and groomed...i thought I'd post a wet pic.

Having seen your tag line I shan't argue with you. But as a word of advice, maybe your attitude is partly to blame for the problem?
