      I disagree, If the dog is properly trained it should be a pleasure to have around and not be a pain in the butt. I find most owners simply do not know what they are doing. Biggest mistake I see is people treating their dogs like humans, speaking and rationalizing with them. You must teach your dog what is acceptable and what is not and in so doing your energy level and how you communicate with your dog must be at a higher level of energy than they themselves are evoking. Most owners are far too neutral with their corrections and praise. Dogs need a clear message, that is Great or That is Bad! Your voice, tone, tenor, mannerisms need to clearly with zero gray area let the dog know where he stands. If he still does not get it you need to reliably escalate the praise and or correction. For example you tell your dog to sit (easiest command). If they do not sit it is worthless to say ‘Sit’ again with the same tone and tenor. You need to escalate to ‘SIT!’ If that does not get a response you need to escalate with the command again and a touch. If your dog learns that every time they do not listen, that you will reliably escalate, they will learn to heed very quickly

    If your propwalk pulls your stern to port you can use the momentum of the boat at the first critical seconds while gaining enough speed so that the rudder will steer when regering with gear in idle or neutral. Approach the slip from the opposite direction as in the video. Make a turn to port, just before you're in line with the slip and the stern still has momentum to starboard hit hard reverse, like 80-90%, to get the boat moving, rudder centered, towards the slip in 1,5-2,5 knots depending how your rudder steers in reverse, gear in neutral (preferable) or idle reverse, steer with rudder and keep the speed up with short bursts if needed. When half length of boat is between the slip it's time to start concentrate on braking.

    You are doing a lot of things correctly. Overall taking the time to train a dog at the start pays huge divides over time. Crate training is a must. All our dogs have loved the crate, in fact most rather sleep in the crate at night. The most important of all commands is the 'recall". No matter the situation you want Oso to come on command. We use the dog's name as the recall command. This means we try to avoid at all cost using their name, period. Each of our dogs has two names, we would use "Osa" as the recall command and the other name is a "nick" name (Little Buddy), which is used during normal interaction. If you use their main name during normal communications they get desensitized to the recall command

    Super interested in this topic when I have time to watch this evening. We live aboard with our 5 lb Yorkie. She uses the shower stall as her "cat box" when she cannot make it to land. She gets seasick in larger swell but children's ibuprofen on beef jerky eases her nausea.
    All that said, we are leaving San Diego and heading into the Caribbean. All the countries we will see allow dogs and cats.
    The places you're wanting to sail in the South Pacific, New Zealand and Australia do not take kindly to pets. Even if you can gain entry for your dog, it will cost you thousands of dollars to comply with their laws.

    Backing a full-keel boat into a slip is something you will NEVER not feel a little stressed about. You may totally master the maneuver in calm winds and no current, and the next time you come in (this time with a boat full of guests probably) the wind will be on your nose with a current pushing the bow. Then you figure that one out, and next time the wind is on the port beam and magnifies the prop-walk. It's an adventure every time.

    So glad to see that y’all are crate training him from the beginning. Dogs are great and even as small as he is he can sense things we can’t. That will come in helpful at times. It is possible to teach him to do his business in a certain area of the boat when you’re underway. The sooner you start that sort of training the better. The crate serves 2 purposes: it will end up being a comfort to him and at the same time, dogs do not like to poo or pee where they sleep. So if that happens...,(particularly as he gets a little older), then you’ve either left him too long, (couldn’t hold it), or he could be sick. I’m writing as I watch... good on you for the urine grass and socializing with the young kids as well as the other dogs. He’s looking great!
    I’m telling you all this as a former dog trainer. He’ll be a great dog for your growing family. Love you guys. Holler if your ever passing through Greenville, SC

    I know I am supposed to love pets. But it is hard to watch channels with pets since i can’t help to think about the things not shown. Pee , poop, hair and general smell of an animal. - and all that on a confined space.

      Nothing like living in a tiny space where everything smells like dog & hair everywhere. GIANT maintenance issue, scratched decks, furniture, travel issues, etc. I love dogs BUT NOT on a small cruising boat.

    Getting a pet is a bad idea when your traveling the world. Just check out sailing Nanji and their dog problems. It's costing them $10,000 dollars to get it back home to australia. They listed off all the countries you CANNOT GO too, lots of the pacific and well Aus too and most of the indian ocean countries don't allow as well. Really think hard about this, and be prepared to leave it with someone else when you cannot take it to the next country. CHEERS Steve h.

    Aww, little dude O'so is a darling. I've been watching you two since you bought Atticus. I love your videos.
    My husband and I sail an S2 9m on Lake Michigan. We dream of bluewater sailing. Not sure if it will happen but we can dream, right? . I really enjoy your videos and have learned a lot from you. I especially enjoyed your educational videos while you were on the hunt for Atticus ll.
    I'm a professional groomer of 23 years plus professional dog trainer. I own my own small grooming business and employ 5 people. I want to offer you help with the grooming and training of your new little guy if you'd like it. Congratulations on your new family member! And congratulations as you begin your journey on your beautiful new boat.

    We have been watching you two (now three) for a few months and just love you all. I am a retired Air Force fighter pilot and my wife is a retired pastor (the drinking kind). We travel a lot and have found using a crate for our pooches is by far the best way to boat/travel. Get him use to the crate as soon as possible and make sure you cover the crate at night. There may be some sleepiness nights at first but the crate and covering it will work best for and him. Dee and Betty

    We sailed with Jet, our 50lb. Dutch Shepherd. We traveled to Cuba, Isla (where we met you guys), Mexico, Belize, and Guatemala. While it was a bitch to deal with in bad weather, we had amazing experiences with him. We called him our Ambassador. He was an immediate conversation starter. Oso is smaller and easily managed. Good luck with him. He's so damn cute. Wishing you guys all the best.

    cute puppy. I will say backing into your slip is a lot easier if you go past your slip then put the boat in reverse to get some momentum, prop walk under control and gain rudder authority... sort of a running start. trying to pivot in front of your slip is much harder. wind tide and current will always be different.

  • @Sailspirit99
    @Sailspirit99 3 роки тому +10

    Gorgeous puppy, and such a wonderful addition to your yacht. However, a huge mistake for Pacific sailing, especially NZ & Oz, many marine parks don't allow dogs, horrendous quarantine, costs, shots, etc, good luck, you're much braver than me. I want a dog so much but there's so many places I couldn't go here in Oz so will wait for the time I can do the right thing by the dog.

  • @richardroth8087
    @richardroth8087 3 роки тому +1

    When docking I like to keep the boat parallel to the wind or current set as long as possible so I can use the engine in forward or reverse to counter those forces. If you perpendicular, then you are at the mercy of the wind or current. In your situation, I would have driven past the slip in forward, then backed in, giving her some strong reverse throttle and aiming at the far pylon and waiting to turn to port as long as possible.

    • @peternelson9259
      @peternelson9259 9 місяців тому

      Exactly my thoughts! The tidal current over the rudder would have actually helped with steerage in reverse, and he would have had prop-walk to help pull the stern to port. I groaned when he said, "I have the theory down, I just need practice." Nope, sorry, wrong theory, bud. That was two years ago; I expect he'd do a lot better nowadays.

    Kudos to you guys!! You have now stepped across the threshold to the top notch !!! Most of the most popular channels, sailing or otherwise, all have...or have had pets! It shows your acceptance, as well as character! Look at the top channels! Zatara (cat) Tula (dog) Wynns (cats)
    Shawn James (dog)...Many! I could go on and on! Even Steven Crowder! It shows so much compassion for something other than themselves!
    Reilly (Wrollee & Ah..lan ..ah) & Allanah)...notice the drowl? Good for you guys!! Even better for the little guy that you just adopted! You will have no regrets! He's part of the family! Correction...he is the family! He will run your life! And that's okay! PS....I've been following "y'all" for years!
