See full version: Boat Dogs 101
Puppies are usually very adaptable and readily take to boat life or a combination of boat and land life. An agile, surefooted dog usually takes to the boat more easily than one that isn’t. They don’t have to be a super-athlete to be a boat dog though. A lot of this also depends on boat design and how much they have to clamber over on deck, etc.
Small dogs on boats are easier than large dogs. Now, plenty of people do live onboard and cruise with larger dogs. And if you have a large dog, you can find ways to make it work (read this article by my VA, Pamela Webster, who cruises with a golden retriever). But the reality is that smaller dogs are easier:
Training your dog to “go” on the boat is well worth the time and effort. Being able to make longer passages and not having to make middle-of-the-nights trips to shore are priceless benefits. In many places, it’s a good idea to hoist and lock your dinghy at night, which makes trips to the beach just that much harder. You can read my tips on teaching a dog to use a piece of Astroturf here. here

He made all of my rigging and several sails while he still had a brick and mortar store. [links]
