Thanks for the replies. Our GSD has been on the boat on the weekends since last year however due to my installing a
diesel, we have not had the chance to get out. She has no problems on the boat when at the
dock and eats, sleeps as normal. She walks the decks as she feels like it and regularly gaurds the dock from the bow of the boat. She did not appear to be stressed out or nervous at first, of course once she started getting sick, she was not a happy camper. Eventually she figured it out that the best place for her was on the bottom of the
cockpit sole where she was safe and occasionally would look up over the rail to catch a view. Not sure if it was first time jitters or what have you. We were out for about 3 hours in total. I will definitely try it again before drugging her, but I wanted to seek some
advice first.
On another, same note, is there such a thing as a sailing harness for
dogs, I am sure it would have helped releive our stress of her going
overboard.
