I guess there could also be problems with sea sickness. And how can you work out your dog if you can’t take him for a walk? Interesting. I’d like to read this book about sea dogs.

In reply to Lauranne. What a lucky collie! I take Honey kayaking pretty regularly and we both love it! It's wonderful to see all the amazing scents she picks up on.

In reply to Shannon Barnard. If I were you, I'd put a big road trip with Rogue on your to do list. Sounds like it could be an awful lot of fun.

In reply to Dawn.

I’ve heard of people who planned to cross oceans who decided to coastal cruise or island hop instead once their dog refused to potty on the boat.

As for exercising, most dogs seem to do well swimming, climbing up steep companionway steps, and hopping in and out of dinghys. The smells at sea seem to be pretty interesting to a dog so they get plenty of stimulation. But, as you can imagine, most dogs get some serious zoomies when they hit dry land.

Good luck in the contest to win the book. I think you’d enjoy it.

In reply to Sam. I'm not big on driving and highways. But I have to admit that Mary of Roxy the Traveling Dog and Amy of Go Pet Friendly have gotten me envious of seeing lots of beautiful places in an RV with Honey.

I took my collie onto a Canadian canoe for the first time this summer while we were on holiday in France. He loved it and spent his time trying to catch the water or get out of the boat to catch the (plastic) ducks. It is a memory I shall treasure forever!

I would love to do a road trip around the US with my Rogue, but think sailing would be a bit beyond his comfort level!

Other than making sure my dogs stay on the boat, I never thought about the poop complications of boat traveling with a dog. I guess there could also be issues with sea sickness. And how can you exercise your dog if you can’t take him for a walk? Interesting. I’d like to read this book about sea dogs.

I’d love nothing more than to have an adventure with my pups! I’m not sure I could be on a boat for that long, but I wouldn’t mind either a long camping/hiking/driving adventure!
