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
"I'm just gonna sleep out here two nights or so until he calms down" - which really means: "He'll be sleeping in our bunk for the rest of his life".... :)
Congrats guys!!! 🐕 We got a Kitty on our 31 ft boat and it was the best decision we ever made. Endless joy, they are work but the amount of love and happiness you get from them is beyond words 🥰 soon you will not be able to imagine how life was without him!
Dogs: Best home security system on the planet. Another benefit is raising one will teach one an encyclopedia worth of parenting tips. If your pup turns out happy, healthy and "part of the family" your future kids will most likely follow. Honestly you will learn much from raising a puppy. congrats
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.
I love this episode! I have a Cairn Terrier/Poodle mix as well, his name is Cooper. He will be 10 in August and is the most loving puppy on the planet! Prepare for a lot of kisses, these dogs love to give affection to their Mom and Dad!!
You guys just keep ticking all the boxes for me and my wife. She had a Cairn Terrier before I met her. You have just made her day! That look when he pops his head up...just makes me cry with joy. He is one relaxed dude. keep up these awesome posts, have been with you for years and always respected your work ethics from day one, the fact that you would go back to your previous employment temporarily for the greater good really sold me on your true commitment and determination. I have mentioned my circumstances before and would love to support you financially but just not able to but would love to and hopefully can in the future. You two are the best and now with your new boy just makes you even more perfect!! Love you guys.
To all the naysayers today, I think I have met you before. 36 years ago when I decided to get married you said mistake. When she got pregnant you said kids are a mistake. From housed to pets, cars, careers and many other things you said mistake, mistake, mistake. So glad I made all those mistakes. Yes sometimes it will be a pain to have a dog, just like with my two dogs two cats and 34 year old African gray parrot but it’s part of a full life. Congrats on the new family member, have fun, he’s awesome👍
You guys are going to love having a little companion on the boat. Desiree really needed that little guy. I just realized that I’ve been smiling the whole time I’ve been watching this video. 😃
The puppy needs a warm blanket to cover him and a warm hot water bottle to comfort him. Hello from South Africa. Sometimes the ticking of an alarm clock helps.
Omg guys, he is such a bundle of joy and unconditional love. Great idea, nothing better than having a little dude around. I have two dudes and they keep me company. Andy UK
The timing of this is perfect. Today I needed inspiration, I ride my horse for the first time in 3 months after a bad hand accident and watching y'all do something for Love...reminds me why I ride now and how much I miss my partner. Cute puppie, but you got photo bombed by a dog on the dock. Fantastic timing :-)
It is a big commitment to have a dog on a boat. Absolutely worth it for the joy and love they give. Congrats on the new addition- can't wait to hear about a baby!
Jordan nails it. There’s always a “reason” not to do something you have been wanting to do... whether it’s time, money, or practicality (whatever that means...) but if it is important to you, you go ahead and do it and figure out the details along the way. My (unasked for) advice? Get Little Dude used to being groomed, nails cut, teeth brushed etc... because you’ll be doing a lot of that. We have a Cocker Spaniel and she’s not a fan of having her nails cut or her ears cleaned but it HAS to be done!
I cried through this entire episode. Your new puppy is amazing. I just lost my little ninja and he looked and acted exactly like your new captain. He’s amazing and if you love him half as much as i loved my ninja you guys will be amazing puppy parents. I can’t wait to watch all three of you in your new adventures. Good luck and God bless.
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!
I love Jordan's comment about there being lots of reasons not to have kids or pets cruising. It may alter some of the places you'll go (But so did having the bulkhead fail in Atticus 1) I hope and pray that your growing family brings you joy and enriches your life like you have enriched ours.
I love when Jordan drops those Pearls!! He has a wiser Soul than he knows... it is not a good idea “at all” to have an animal on a boat!! Especially if your going into other countries!!! It’s also not a good idea to own a boat!!! It’s also a crazy thought to sail with your spouse for more than a week off shore!!! It also crazy to even have kids, let alone have them live with you in a 100-200 square foot home! But!!!! With all that said... I really, really, really, LOVE Crazy People!!!
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
I tell you what, swing by the Philippines first and leave Oso with us while you cruise NZ and Australia, because I can't see how you're going to be getting him in there since they are so strict with their animal quarantine rules, you can pick him up again on your way back through. ;)
No don’t leave him in the P.I.s I’ll meet you outside the Great Barrier Reef and shove him under my shirt and you can visit him when you get to Queensland
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.
Well, I watch a lot of sailing videos and it seems people who's pet dies or leaves the boat, makes their life a little easier. But I get it that you want some more action in your life to break up the monotony. Good luck
Awwwwwwww so cute. So happy for you THREE....Funny Jordan keeps calling him Buddy because he looks right now like our little dog who we named Buddy. Enjoy the love that only a puppy can bring us. Puppy love. Nothing like it.
I'm shocked at the negative comments about y'all getting a dog. Good for you and the puppy, y'all are doing a great job with training. Boat dogs are the best, we know, we have 2! Congratulations.
I wonder what the world would be like without all these rules. There once was a time when that wasn't the case. Is this really a better world? I consider things at the limits...a world with no rules; a world with rules for absolutely everything. I'll take the zero rule world.
All very nice, but I live in Oz, and they say they intend to the sail the Pacific, and animal quarantine for NZ & Oz is expensive and an enormous hassle, just watch Sailing Nandji, also, no dog permitted in marine parks.
@@Sailspirit99 I wonder what's the rationale? A human can get by with certifications of immunizations. Why can't a canine? Would a certified service dog have exemptions? This seems excessively onerous.
No negative comments It’s opinion I’ve been on a long cruise with a dog It’s not fun especially on the boat it's stressful at times bad weather you are constantly worrying about the dog. Never mind the urine poop and sickness To each his own. I say beautiful dog for 13 years,
@@beachwalker2574 Not every pup is cut out to be a sea dog. I suspect that if the pup is trained that the pitching of vessel in a seaway is the norm he'll do fine, but I have no personal experience. Critters aboard are both a joy and an awesome resposibility. I hope all goes well for all aboard Atticus II.
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.
I just love the newest addition to the family! Great to see you guys are doing so well! Thank you for sharing your lives with us! Blessings from your friend in Oregon, Trina
Our pup looks just like yours... And he sails with us too. Congrats on the new addition to your family. Oso is shaping up to be a great boat dog already ⛵
Good idea I might try ! Sas goinfre to go for artificial grass….. Checked, itwork ‘s great on a balcony , soaking it behind the boat was also the idear
After watching sailing nandji i wouldn't personally have a pup on board, you have to ship them and leave them in quarantine for months sometimes, my heart would break
You can take a dog that size anywhere if you are determined to, and if not you make choices/plan in a way where you don’t have to leave the dog. You can choose to not stop at places and countries that do not allow dogs. This is totally doable
Yeah, I also thought of sailing nandji when I saw this video. Moving country to country with a dog is super tough and unfortunately it is the dog who gets left behind.
The poodle side of Oso should make him an excellent water dog; easily adaptable to swimming and loves to do it. That terrier side of him may make him a little rambunctious so he may unintentionally end up in the water more often than you expect. Looks like you got one smart, capable dog in Oso! Congratulations. Love each other well, all of you.
If crate training the ‘lil’dude’ it is a must to take them from the crate straight out to where they are meant to eliminate and then praise like crazy when they do.
Congratulations!! Love all the positive reinforcement training!! He is so stinking cute! You guys need the netting to go along the rails like sv Delos has! Can't wait to see more of Oso!!
Awwwww.....such a cute little dude.....you made the absolutely right choice....perfect addition to your boat...and he will love Maine when you get here....it is our home and we have been sailing the coastline for over 16 years.
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
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 love dogs and sailed with our 60lb Lab, Gracie, until she became too old to get around the boat in comfort. Some considerations - you'll need to vacuum twice a day or face a potential clogged bilge pump at the worst possible moment. You'll also want to get something to protect your cabin sole from his claws. We used yoga mats and rug runners in the high traffic areas. Good Luck!
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.
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.
Hey you two......Don the dog loving sailor here....greetings from Vancouver Island, BC....love the new addition to your life and I’m quite impressed at how quickly he’s learned the « ropes » so to speak. Quite a challenge to get my Australian Shepherd to void on the boat....she never took to it...so well done!
We cruised with a cocker/poodle mix throughout the US, Caribbean and Mexico - never an issue. The addition of a “third” crew member was a welcome distraction! We used the same grass pad as you. We did add a whelping pad underneath the grass (Amazon). This soaked up the pee so it didn’t slosh around and could be easily rinsed out and dried while the 2nd one was in place. Never a problem with smells. Enjoy your trip north!
Bloody hell! Reading some of these comments makes it seem that Americans are more soppy about dogs than the British! Dog on a, relatively, small boat? Madness! Totally unfair on the poor bloody animal. However, it would seem that the question, asked in the post, is redundant - the dog is on board. I wish you, and the dog, all the best. For all those who disagree, the question was asked, I gave my honest answer.
Big decision, Big responsibility, Big change, Big hearts. Little puppy, Little poops. From what we seen in the video, little Cap'n Oso will be well taken care of and loved. Such a lucky dog! Oso seems to be a quick learner and very smart. Also nice to see the new boat is working out great for the new addition. Looking forward to the next vid. Cheerz!!!!
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.
Congratulations with your new roommate. What a nice dog. And he is already getting used to you and life on the boat. Very nice to follow this new family member in his development. 🤗😉
I am crying happy tears for you guys, this is so sweet! You’re doing everything right, introducing new experiences and making them happy and making sure he’s comfortable. I have two 15 year olds aboard and they are my world, one of them is an Oso as well :)) cheers to boat dogs living their best lives!
Dog love is something no-one should be without..You did good with this one, what a super puppy!!! You two are now official second fiddlers no doubt : ) Great size as well. 👁❤️🦅
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.
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.
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. Best to make sure Jordans Dad loves the dog. It's probably going to be living with him once you leave Panama.
You: We are working to make this boat ready to sail around the world. Also you: Lets compound the stress with a barking shit machine. I did the same thing, no regrets. Puppers are wonderful.
can you believe it ...being jealous at that little dog😀😀... thats how i am feeling...good luck guy’s..give that little creature the time of its life .. enjoy it.. .😘
Sure it's cool for you to have a dog on the boat. But I don't think it's cool for him, did you EVER think about that without your own enjoyment in mind?
If dogs have food and love the usually adopt. Some dogs can handle boats…. one guy taught his dog to go on a coiled rope when at sea and then he would just put the rope in the ocean and it would be clean hours later when he pulled it out
Well that was wholesome! Sadly I'm getting close to having to say goodbye to my 15 year old girl, Lucy....a beagle/pitbull. Absolute sweetheart. Watching this got me all choked up thinking about my first days/weeks with her....that fat puppy belly, puppy breath, the non stop cuteness. They bring so much joy...but dang is it tough when they reach the end. I'll enjoy watching Oso grow into a real salty dog! Congratulations!
You two are going to love that puppy and he is going love you as well. I would not have done it but you two are great people who will provide him with a good life.
We like dogs and we don't like people who don't like dogs. We have two that live aboard and in spite of the extra work would never give them up. You will have joy every day, well done!
I find that a dog is a huge pain in the butt that you can’t live without.
Best description of having a dog ever.

Oh my gosh, cuteness overload! 8,000 plus people just turned into big 'ol mushbutts over little Oso!
"I'm just gonna sleep out here two nights or so until he calms down" - which really means: "He'll be sleeping in our bunk for the rest of his life".... :)
That was wonderful!!💓

Add a piece of clothing with your smell as his comfort item. Many reasons for this but loyalty, and bonding. But he's probably bonding fine.

I'm shocked at the negative comments about y'all getting a dog. Good for you and the puppy, y'all are doing a great job with training. Boat dogs are the best, we know, we have 2! Congratulations.
I wonder what the world would be like without all these rules. There once was a time when that wasn't the case. Is this really a better world? I consider things at the limits...a world with no rules; a world with rules for absolutely everything. I'll take the zero rule world.
All very nice, but I live in Oz, and they say they intend to the sail the Pacific, and animal quarantine for NZ & Oz is expensive and an enormous hassle, just watch Sailing Nandji, also, no dog permitted in marine parks.
@@Sailspirit99 I wonder what's the rationale? A human can get by with certifications of immunizations. Why can't a canine? Would a certified service dog have exemptions? This seems excessively onerous.
No negative comments
It’s opinion I’ve been on a long cruise with a dog
It’s not fun especially on the boat it's stressful at times bad weather you are constantly worrying about the dog. Never mind the urine poop and sickness
To each his own. I say beautiful dog for 13 years,
@@beachwalker2574 Not every pup is cut out to be a sea dog. I suspect that if the pup is trained that the pitching of vessel in a seaway is the norm he'll do fine, but I have no personal experience. Critters aboard are both a joy and an awesome resposibility. I hope all goes well for all aboard Atticus II.
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.
Congratulations on the new member of the family
So happy for you and so happy for Captain Oso! Live your life the way you want too.
I just love the newest addition to the family! Great to see you guys are doing so well! Thank you for sharing your lives with us! Blessings from your friend in Oregon, Trina
Our pup looks just like yours... And he sails with us too. Congrats on the new addition to your family. Oso is shaping up to be a great boat dog already ⛵
Some countries allow you to take your pets. Some you have to quarantine them. Some don't allow them at all.
Wow. You guys are going to be great parents. You need to make many little dudes, the world needs more people like you.
Some sailors use a designated coil of line for their dog to do his business on. Dragging it off the stern for a few miles cleans it right up.
Good idea I might try ! Sas goinfre to go for artificial grass….. Checked, itwork ‘s great on a balcony , soaking it behind the boat was also the idear
Man I tell you dogs bring so much pleasure to any household ( boathold) . Companionship, and devotion is endless. Congrats..
Captain Osso made my day ,have 2 cairn terriers who love sailing and now watch Osso
Big Congrats! Osso is spectacular. A puppy is almost always a good idea. Let this be your new mantra... "it's his world; we're just here to serve."
After watching sailing nandji i wouldn't personally have a pup on board, you have to ship them and leave them in quarantine for months sometimes, my heart would break
Depends on where you go but yes certainly adds a whole new difficulty
You can take a dog that size anywhere if you are determined to, and if not you make choices/plan in a way where you don’t have to leave the dog. You can choose to not stop at places and countries that do not allow dogs. This is totally doable
Yeah, I also thought of sailing nandji when I saw this video. Moving country to country with a dog is super tough and unfortunately it is the dog who gets left behind.
I see a lot of problems ahead, with the new puppy and problems he will cause between the crew
@@wordupninja And get in serious trouble if not done legally.
The poodle side of Oso should make him an excellent water dog; easily adaptable to swimming and loves to do it. That terrier side of him may make him a little rambunctious so he may unintentionally end up in the water more often than you expect. Looks like you got one smart, capable dog in Oso! Congratulations. Love each other well, all of you.
If crate training the ‘lil’dude’ it is a must to take them from the crate straight out to where they are meant to eliminate and then praise like crazy when they do.
Congratulations!! Love all the positive reinforcement training!! He is so stinking cute! You guys need the netting to go along the rails like sv Delos has! Can't wait to see more of Oso!!
Congratulations on OSO! A great addition to the team!
Awwwww.....such a cute little dude.....you made the absolutely right choice....perfect addition to your boat...and he will love Maine when you get here....it is our home and we have been sailing the coastline for over 16 years.
Perfect again. Thanks for the adventure. Be safe and have fun. Also not a mistake,
Cute puppy!! I drive an 18 wheeler around the country with my 70 lb German shorthair pointer, cant imagine life without him.
I only have two rules on my boat. First is “Don’t fall overboard”. Second is “ No animals allowed aboard that you can’t eat”
guess they will have to be careful when they visit Korea 😎🤤😆
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
2:18 that other dog checking you all out is hilarious
😆
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 love dogs and sailed with our 60lb Lab, Gracie, until she became too old to get around the boat in comfort. Some considerations - you'll need to vacuum twice a day or face a potential clogged bilge pump at the worst possible moment. You'll also want to get something to protect your cabin sole from his claws. We used yoga mats and rug runners in the high traffic areas. Good Luck!
Good points!
Poodle mix breeds don't shed. Labs shed a lot! I've had both.
@@spray3716 what you mean to say is poodle mix breeds shed less. There is no such thing as a dog that doesn’t shed.
You guys are great to watch. You can make watching paint dry enjoyable. Go lil dude!
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.
Omygosh! Congratulations!!! What a Beautiful little guy. Welcome aboard Captain Oso.
PeaceAndLove

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.
ok. only the cutest blooming thing on the planet. loving sharing the journey with you.
I guess Australia is out of the question.
Hey you two......Don the dog loving sailor here....greetings from Vancouver Island, BC....love the new addition to your life and I’m quite impressed at how quickly he’s learned the « ropes » so to speak. Quite a challenge to get my Australian Shepherd to void on the boat....she never took to it...so well done!
Congrats on the new fur baby he's adorable and the boat is stellar.
Best video yet!!!! So happy for you guys & what an increase to our viewing pleasure! What a sweetheart!
Good call Jordan. That puppy bought you at 2 year delay on the baby
Lmao
We cruised with a cocker/poodle mix throughout the US, Caribbean and Mexico - never an issue. The addition of a “third” crew member was a welcome distraction! We used the same grass pad as you. We did add a whelping pad underneath the grass (Amazon). This soaked up the pee so it didn’t slosh around and could be easily rinsed out and dried while the 2nd one was in place. Never a problem with smells. Enjoy your trip north!
Bloody hell! Reading some of these comments makes it seem that Americans are more soppy about dogs than the British! Dog on a, relatively, small boat? Madness! Totally unfair on the poor bloody animal. However, it would seem that the question, asked in the post, is redundant - the dog is on board. I wish you, and the dog, all the best. For all those who disagree, the question was asked, I gave my honest answer.
Big decision, Big responsibility, Big change, Big hearts. Little puppy, Little poops. From what we seen in the video, little Cap'n Oso will be well taken care of and loved. Such a lucky dog! Oso seems to be a quick learner and very smart. Also nice to see the new boat is working out great for the new addition. Looking forward to the next vid.
Cheerz!!!!
Great question: BEST idea ever or BIG MISTAKE? The only people that will be able to answer that question is you two. Let us know.
Honestly they are no longer capable of honestly answering. Any Dog on any boat is a terrible if not cruel addition
There's nothing better than a dog BUT only if you train him properly. If you dont...things could get dicey! Congratulations and good luck!
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.
Congratulations with your new roommate. What a nice dog. And he is already getting used to you and life on the boat.
Very nice to follow this new family member in his development. 🤗😉
Quote of the video: "Okay, I've got to get this poop to the lab." Just drop that in from time to time as a transition statement, hilarious!
Puppy !!! I heard put a clicking clock under a blanket in his cage. He will settle thinking it's his mother's heartbeat 💓
The BEST Idea!!!! Congrats you guys I hope Jetty gets to meet him! :-)
Ooooo! I hope so too!!
Love the new family addition. He is so cute. Thanks for sharing.😎
I am crying happy tears for you guys, this is so sweet! You’re doing everything right, introducing new experiences and making them happy and making sure he’s comfortable. I have two 15 year olds aboard and they are my world, one of them is an Oso as well :)) cheers to boat dogs living their best lives!
Adorable pup, and so smart already. You lucked out, the new Captain will be a great addition. Great video!
Good training for having a child. Get plenty of puppy pads. They gotta go somewhere. Hide your shoes and other chewy stuff 🤓
Dog love is something no-one should be without..You did good with this one, what a super puppy!!! You two are now official second fiddlers no doubt : ) Great size as well. 👁❤️🦅
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.
This is the response i was hoping not to see (as i really want to travel with a dog) but kinda expected. Thankyou
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.
Test baby! ;)
What a sweet natured pup! So very happy for your growing family.
They peed on the dude’s rug!
Man, that rug really tied the boat together.
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.
Best to make sure Jordans Dad loves the dog. It's probably going to be living with him once you leave Panama.
You: We are working to make this boat ready to sail around the world. Also you: Lets compound the stress with a barking shit machine. I did the same thing, no regrets. Puppers are wonderful.
can you believe it ...being jealous at that little dog😀😀... thats how i am feeling...good luck guy’s..give that little creature the time of its life .. enjoy it.. .😘
Sure it's cool for you to have a dog on the boat. But I don't think it's cool for him, did you EVER think about that without your own enjoyment in mind?
If dogs have food and love the usually adopt. Some dogs can handle boats…. one guy taught his dog to go on a coiled rope when at sea and then he would just put the rope in the ocean and it would be clean hours later when he pulled it out
Well that was wholesome! Sadly I'm getting close to having to say goodbye to my 15 year old girl, Lucy....a beagle/pitbull. Absolute sweetheart.
Watching this got me all choked up thinking about my first days/weeks with her....that fat puppy belly, puppy breath, the non stop cuteness. They bring so much joy...but dang is it tough when they reach the end.
I'll enjoy watching Oso grow into a real salty dog! Congratulations!
Getting a pet is common with young couples starting a family. Congratulations. South Pacific will be problematic.
You two are going to love that puppy and he is going love you as well. I would not have done it but you two are great people who will provide him with a good life.
Desiree at 2:19 : "I can't believe we got a dog".
Dog in background: "Who, me?"
@@69lure this is all probably true but don't be a debbie downer.
We like dogs and we don't like people who don't like dogs. We have two that live aboard and in spite of the extra work would never give them up. You will have joy every day, well done!
