Hi there ! Love finding your channel xx I'm a 76 year old solo caravaning lady, didn't want to give up after my husband passed away 10 years ago, I go with my collie BILLY and love visiting company but very happy on my own. Going home today leaving Whitby after 11 days so time to get hitched up xxxx look forward to more of your vlogs when better WiFi available xxx
You are doing everything right with Bonnie. I have been watching for quite a while, and she has become such a beautiful spirit because of your patience and guidance. You are an awesome Mom to her!! ❤😊
She is wonderful and knows so many tricks now …. She just gets so very stressed when there are lots of dogs about …. It’s heartbreaking as she winds herself up so much she ends up in a right state
@@TheNarrowboatPirate Rescue Remedy works well for most dogs & cats. It is a good homeopathic 'aid' for anxiety. You add it to their water. I hope it helps.
@@TheNarrowboatPirate Hello Heidi New to your channel love the videos I’ve got a question when you change to your van is there like a ship yard were you can leave your boat for safety…..? I’ve always wondered that
Bonny seemed a bit spooked during the Gray Lady walk, I’m thinking she saw a lot more than you did, as you know, dogs have much keener senses than we do… 👻
respect how responsible and sweet you are with your little Bonnie and well done guy's on having 60 patrons ;D that's an amazing achievement ;D)))) your vids are so comforting and relaxing , thank you from Cornwall, UK , gentle kiss for little Bonbon ; )
The owl hooting reminded me of a night when June and I heard an owl out in the middle of nowhere. June got her camera set up and we sat on the roof of the boat waiting to see if she could get a photo of the owl. After a couple of hours sitting under the stars listening to the owl and aurora appeared in the sky so June took a long exposure photo of that. We never actually saw the owl but it was a lovely romantic night.
Heidi, you are one heck of a narrowboat pilot. I cannot imagine squeezing that boat into some of those tight spots you get into. Experience, makes all the difference. Have a wonderful week.
Your a shining light in the Darkness Heidi. I can always count on your Vlogs to cheer me up. And As for Bonny ,I am sure she couldn't ask for a better Captain.
Aww you are lovely. I've recently bought myself a small 22ft sailboat to cruise & live in, I will eventually get a bigger sailboat. It's called Mischief which is a perfect name for me haha. Can't wait to start the boating lifestyle, just working to gather some funds. Bonnie is so cute by the way.
We are the same as you, we even rent private fields to allow our rescue boy time to run free. He literally hates other dogs and is soooo reactive. We have tried everything but think he was traumatised by kennels. He had no voice when we first had him. 7 years on and hes still anti other dogs lol but we love and support his special needs xxx keep going Heidi x
Heidi it’s called obedience. Sit stay,drop,leave it alone, lie down, come, my blue healer now has manners we did 2 years of obedience and I used to cook up some snags they work well on food
Yes I know it’s called obedience 😂😂 we just making them into games now to get her to try focus on me when outside with lots of distractions about but the minute there is a dog she is fixed and they don’t work 😂 we are sticking with it as she has improved so much since I got her but even wafting a sausage in front of her nose doesn’t work a lot of the time 😂😂
@@TheNarrowboatPirate Awwww you are doing a grand job , I enjoy watching Cesar Milans videos regards dogs and their families , he is fascinating to watch ;D enjoy your day guys x
Frenchies seem to be the dog to have on a boat. I understand Bonny’s anxiety around a lot of dogs, I feel the same way about some people🤣🤣 What a beautiful place Lyme is. I think Bonny sensed the ghost that’s why she was looking scared😆. Take care see you next week. Linda
Been watching your adventures for a while now. Just want to say a big thank you for keeping us entertained. Bonnie has come such a long way with your love patience and understanding.
Hello Heidi and Bonny .. what a fun video today. Based on the looks on Bonny's face, she may have seen the Grey Lady even if you didn't .. animals are very perceptive that way. Putting along the canals with the two of you happens to be one of my very favorite things to do. I appreciate that you show people that for all the joy living on a narrowboat brings that there are things that must be done ... just like living in a house. Some vloggers make everything look totally perfect and wonderful and life doesn't work that way. Please save my spot for me ,,, I will be here next week ... with love to you both from Gramma Lainee
Miss the pubs and great food. I loved the dog friendly atmosphere everywhere, it's not like that here. You are a treasure, your positive attitude is great. I do enjoy your videos.
Hi Captain, Thanks for sharing. Beautiful countryside. Great photography. Thanks, also for showing the map as you go along. It helps us not living in the UK to see where you are in England. have an awesome day. Dave
Keep on doing what you are doing with Bonny Heidi, she has come on sooo much and is absolutely thriving in her happy place with you and it’s all down to your patience, understanding and positive training, a perfect mum to Bonny, you are a great team! Just keep doing what your doing for sure! Ps … Couldn’t stop giggling at Rosie n Jims shenanigans going on in the background, whilst listening to this weeks ditties 🤭… Enjoy your weekend you two! Cheers 🥃🦴😊
Well, seeing as she has gone from being scared of every noise and even the wind blowing to now just not liking big dogs then I am hoping after this last hurdle is crossed she will not get stressed anymore 😃🏴☠️
So nice to see the sun hope Bonnie keeping cool she so good on your boat now enjoy your week you must see some beautiful scenery.have a fun week so look forward to next Thursday 😊
Thanks for another scenic interesting vlog❤ Had to view the beginning again yep it was Gin & Tonic! No rum punch😂?? I like the vibrant colours of the decorative panels you put on (often seen background)😊 And to hear the steps are a success. Finally did I see a ghostly lady👻 with a ghostly grey hound at her side late at night walking the towpath. The legend may be truth not myth😈 Jan Adelaide
@@TheNarrowboatPirate Dogs are amazing animals, some years ago my dog was in a panic, and this was a dog who was scared of nothing and nobody, she was a big dog to have on your lap but there she was shaking, not just on my lap but stuck to me like glue was bonding us, obviously frightened but I didn't know why. So, I'm trying to pacify her, next thing there was an earth tremor and I'll never forget the way she looked at me, like, see, I told you. Us humans had no clue but she picked it up, something was going to happen .. Lesson learned, listen to your doggie, they know more than we do. although how you prepare for a threat when you don't know what it is is another thing 🙂
Swans definitely have a desire to be near you where ever you are. Beautiful trip. Seeing Miss Bonnie with the Frenchies was so adorable. Love you two ❤
Another great video Heidi. The water in that canal is so dark - it must be the rock or soil there. It’s actually quite attractive as a backdrop for the Rum Wench! I’m glad you and Bonny didn’t find the Grey Lady…I’m not sure Bonny would have enjoyed the experience!! 🏴☠️👻
Beautiful episode as always Heidi really entertaining and fun! I think l saw the Gray lady behind your boat you know?? Then too much Rum can have the effect! CHEERS 🍻😊 Luv the Cornish crew James and Shelly xx
The idea of Bonny in a bikini, (the shot was hilarious),an absolute hoot. And talking of hooting, the tawny owl, she calls "too wit", and he answers "hoo hoo hoo whoooooer"
Just keep doing what you're doing with Bonny & whenever possible distance her from anything she finds stressful. Quick fixes rarely work long term & patience is the key. You know from your teaching days that learning isn't a strictly linear process. Take a look back and see how far you've both come, congratulate yourself with a rum & give Bonny a treat 🙂
Love Friday mornings, Heidi and Bonny starting my weekend. Yes give me peace and quiet against hustle and bustle. At last some warm weather =-) Take care as always =-)
Hi Heidi, a little tip, passed to me by a dog behaviourist from Dogs Trust, if you want to hold your dogs attention use a tube of Primula ham and cheese spread, most dogs find it irresistible. Just squeeze a little out of the tube, or onto your hand or fingers for them to lick off, they won't usually leave you alone after that!
Time and love with dogs.sadly no quick fix.Its been 2 years since my little dog was attacked, she has never been the same since outside. Keep doing what your doing doll x
Hi Heidi lovely to see you and Bonny again this week lovely village you visited it’s the high light of the week when Thursday comes round have a lovely weekend stay safe and happy boating 😊😊
Awsome parallel parking ! 😎Bonnie is such a sweethear and learned so much in the last months. 💕 I love all your videos but you were definitely my late wifes favorite! Godspeed and keep them coming Heidi.
We always used to moor up just along from where you were - opposite the marina. The Sexton used to make the most divine grilled cheese on toast (in the world) we would have this and then buy ies to take back on board. A lovely place to moor and a lovely little town to top up on food supplies. Lymm was a big favourite
How wonderful, all of it. And the new music. 🙂 You did that mooring like a pro, which you are. Whoa! great setup for the "phantom of the grey lady" ... cool stuff. 🙂 Cute ditty.
It was so lovely to meet you today. X Thank you for the training tips with Lili x. You have done amazing with Bonnie it was a pleasure to meet you both ❤ Safe travels 🏴☠️☠️
Your videos are among the best that I subscribe to, the presenting and way you talk to us all is so professional, informative and fun, I do love the odd swear too! Also the camera angles are amazing too. Always look forward to getting home on a Thursday for another pirate video 🥰
I agree with other comments about Bonnie. I have a border terrier who is possibly a little more " killer" than Bonnie . Mind you it is the breed. But my dog sits and watches your videos and pays attention to everything you say. So just keep up the way you are working with her ( and my dog too)😊 N.S
I love that you release these videos on Thursdays. I'm off work every Friday and your videos are the best way to start my weekend. Get out of bed, grab a cup of coffee or tea, and watch Heidi and Bonny cruise the canals and explore towns. Lovely!
What a way to live, I would love to live and travel on a canal boat. This is my first time seeing you and I have now subscribed. You’re doing the right thing with Bonnie, so don’t fret.
Thank you so much for another great video. It's going to take some time before I get a boat so your vids are priceless to me. Looking forward to the next!!!
Thank you Heidi for another feel good vlog, not much to add that hasn’t already been said , apart from awesome boating skills.😊...... and Rosie and Jim🫣🤭🤣. Take great care and roll on next weeks adventures. 😁
Canine Prozac can be great for overly anxious dogs. Just a thought. But you're doing awesome without actually. Love Bonnie's bikini 😅. Heat wave....2 days of sun. That's so funny Heidi.
I'm so enjoying your videos! Bonnie's a real boat dog! You asked if anyone has any tips for reactivity... so try this: once Bonnie sees another dog approaching, get her attention then scatter treats/food into the far side of the path, away from the water and as close to the hedge so she can be busy 'finding' as the other dog passes. This gives her a job and builds a positive association with other dogs. She can learn to stop fixing on them as she relaxes into her game. Good socialising comes when dogs learn to ignore each other unless they both want to engage. (I'm a behaviourist working with rescue and trauma dogs!) Keep up the awesome work! I'll be following as hoping to be a liveaboard soon, but down south xxx
