The Pup Plank actually seems like a good idea to have in your pool (especially above ground pools) if you have dogs that like to swim. Could probably save a life.

@boatus 10 месяцев назад

What a fantastic idea, Mark! It's a super cool product and very easy to inflate, deflate, and store. Mike said it's even sturdy enough that his preteen daughter can sit on it. It's basically designed like a standup paddleboard, so it's very stable and durable.

If only it was this easy always :P

@boatus Месяц назад

Right?! Thankfully Bodhi enjoys the boat and was a great model for us. Some pups might not be as happy to hang out on the water. Best to leave them at home.

@chrissterba501 10 месяцев назад

This was super helpful information for me! I keep focusing on getting my new / old sailboat ready, that I forgot prepping for my best buddy to finally come aboard. You wouldn't happen to offer doggie training classes? Somehow yours sure behaves way better than Zumi (my lil beagle boy) :-)

@boatus 10 месяцев назад

You are very welcome, Chris! Our BoatUS Foundation only offers human on-water training, but maybe there's a business idea for you! Bodhi was an absolute star for our video shoot, though he wasn't overly fond of swimming that day. Cheese did help ... A LOT! I'm guessing Zumi is very food-motivated (otherwise he may lose his Beagle card!), so try some yummy treats. You might find this article from BoatUS Magazine helpful, and there is a trainer we spoke to who might be able to provide additional assistance if you need it: www.boatus.com/expert-advice/expert-advice-archive/2021/june/keep-your-canine-crew-happy Good luck with your sailboat prep! And give Zumi some belly rubs for us.

Thanks! Didn't know about the pup-rafts to get in and out of the water!

@boatus 10 месяцев назад

It's a wonderful game-changer! Thanks for watching!

@@boatus My pleasure! If you happen to stumble upon a Silent 62 Open or Closed, it'd be greatly appreciated! I've got my eye on it. In terms of eCats, I think this one might be the one to beat

@boatus 10 месяцев назад

@@SirAdamMeek Will do! Dang -- it's probably twice or three times the size of my last apartment! That's probably going to be tough to find, especially one in the US (if that's where you're looking). Good luck in your search! I see one for sale in Great Britain and I believe another in Canada, but the import taxes would be a killer.

@SirAdamMeek 10 месяцев назад

@@boatus Yes, they were bought by the broker on spec, I'm sure. I'm planning on headed to the Ft Lauderdale Yacht Show in October, so hopefully one will be able to view there 🤞

@barryatkins3009 10 месяцев назад

I learned a lot of this through trial and error. My dog leapt out of the moving boat the grab a crab pot buoy. She is a super strong swimmer but it scared me. I was able to grab her vest and bring her in.

@boatus 10 месяцев назад

Yikes, Barry! That's a scary thought. What is it about some dogs and crab pot buoys?! I guess they look like fun toys. Glad your pup was OK and that she was wearing a vest with a handle. Hopefully this video will help others not have to go through the trial-and-error method that you did. Thanks for watching!

@vedderadder7890 6 месяцев назад

Good video, but I was looking for more on how to train the dog to pee and poop onboard. This is what I find most difficult. When we are offshore overnight there is no taking the dog to shore.

@boatus 5 месяцев назад

Ooh, that's a good one, Vedder. I would think it's similar to basic housetraining. You can buy a mat for this purpose. It's basically a piece of astroturf that sits in a tray. But I suspect it will depend on whether your dog is willing to use it. It's probably easier to train them to use that (and easier to clean up) than to go directly on the deck.

@Robert-Siciliano 9 месяцев назад

WTH is the animal all freaked out at 2:28?! Am I the only one who sees this alien creature?

@boatus 9 месяцев назад

😂😂😂😂 I had to watch it a few times to see what you were referring to, Robert. Just so you can sleep soundly at night, that's a concrete or resin statue in the bushes. I want to say it is a fox but I'm not sure. We were at a community dock, and someone clearly has a sense of humor!

@capnrik6397 Месяц назад

How can I i order one of these?

@boatus Месяц назад

Hey, Capt. Rik! I'm guessing you're referring to the Pup Plank? If so, they're available online through West Marine or other retailers: www.westmarine.com/solstice-solstice-inflatable-pup-plank-P020116885.html. The life jacket shown is also available through West Marine. I've seen some other manufacturers making a similar product if you want options. One is dogwaterramp.com

@Captdal 10 месяцев назад

nope

@MarkDiSciullo 10 месяцев назад

Yes.

@spschwartz 9 месяцев назад

Why must you have that stupid background music? It adds nothing to the content and only distracts and annoys and makes the voice harder to understand. At 79 my hearing isn’t the best.

@boatus 9 месяцев назад

Thanks for the feedback, Steve. Sorry you find it distracting. We'll keep that in mind for the future.
