I would like some advice from you guys who boat regularly with your dogs, how did you train them to use the back deck to go to the washroom? I have read about using a piece of carpet, getting the smell of urine on it to entice the dog to eliminate on it. I just wonder if that at all correlates into the dog going on any form of carpet when they are back home and in the house. I am wondering if anyone has used anything other than carpet and if so what?
We will be boating and doing some cruising for a few days straight with our new dog this year. We never boated with our previous dog – he was an English Bulldog and was already quite senior when we really got into spending a lot of time on the boat and we knew he wouldn’t appreciate boating life at that stage of his life. He passed away at 12 years old and have now just adopted a young adult Cairn Terrier who we will be bringing with us all the time. So, Piper and I would appreciate any help any of you can offer! Thanks
