T&T: Dogs on boats

[Bob England]

I can teach your dog to crap on your boat in one day, but you can go back to
the archives to find out how to do it yourself. Most people really can't
"teach" a dog to do anything, the dog just picks up on what makes them (the
owner) respond in a positive or negative way. When they get conflicting input
they go into safe mode (won't do there business on the boat). My neighbor has
a little mini pinser (I hate that dog) that she absolutey cannot teach not to
bark incestantly, it is maniacal. I have 8 English Setter bird dogs that if
not controlled, would bark nonstop and very loudly, bothering all my
neighbors. My dogs don't bark, it's just not allowed. They love to load into
my truck to go hunting but befor I let them jump in they gotta take care of
business. As soon as they leave the kennell they are lookin for that special
place so they can get in the truck. From what I've seen, dogs are much better
at training people than the other way around.
