1. Single most useful word to have on your dog’s tag if it travels on your boat?
Not the dog’s name, it’s the name of the boat.
2. Single most useful piece of safety equipment on your dog?
Not a collar; it’s a harness. Easier to grip a harness with a boat hook if your dog a over, and you’ll never break your dog’s neck in rough seas hauling it out with its harness.
3. Single most important decision to make before you leave shore?
Decide not tot take a dog if you can’t pull it out of the water and get it onto the boat deck.
4. Safest way to feed on board?
Canned food. The kibble will mold, and the freezer might stop working and you’d lose the fresh frozen food.
5. Best way to teach your dog to go to the bathroom on board your boat? Train it on land. Use a large sweater box with low sides into which you’ve put a piece of artificial turf. Place soil that has been urinated on in the box until your dog realizes, where its new toilet is.
6. How to keep your dog from driving you nuts on the boat?
Play mind games. Hide it’s toys or treats. Play tug of war. Play hide and seek. Offer the slowly releasing food dish and treat ball. Don’t throw the ball from deck into the cabin and have it run up and down the stairs to the cabin as this is hard on the knees.
