Hi

I have just found this thread and very interesting. I am a dog trainer and worked for Hearing Dogs in the UK for many many years until recently. I do cruise a lot and have been in discussions with them about access for dogs on UK cruise lines, as most of the trainers have little experience of cruising.

Some problems obviously arise, toileting being the main one, although our dogs are trained to toilet on command, it was interesting to see your tub with the grass - has got me thinking a bit really.

A meeting has taken place with one of the large cruise companies strangely enough by coincidence, I got chatting to one of the senior managers about my job when I was on holiday with this company and she was picking my brains about the implications of assistance dogs on a ship on an informal basis. Wish I had seen your photos then!.

Very interesting to see and the boots thing - we hadn't even thought about that!!!!

I loved reading about Shadow and about your trip.

Here's a question: Are dogs other than service animals allowed on the ship?

When we cruised, there was a young couple with a Weenie-Dog on board. I'm assuming Daushaunds are not generally used as service animals, although I am admittedly ignorant in thei regard. It was the cutest little thing, and we really enjoyed seeing his costumes on Pirate Night, etc., but I was suprised Disney allowed a dog on the cruise that was not a service animal.

Answering my own question: Daschaunds can and are used as service animals!

I'm a trainer of Service Dogs. I see many "types of SDs" Disney doesn't let "pet dogs" on there. When i was on my Eastern Caribbean Cruise, A little dog was on there too. When I saw it, the dog was with a different person every time i saw it. I was MAD

. I called Disney to tell them about it. ...Shadow has a Pirate Night costume,

you're doing the WBTA????? I'm thinking of booking that one!!! Maybe I'll get to travel with you and Shadow!!!

HappyontheLake · 10-20-2010, 07:44 AM

Ah darn, you are getting on the Dream as we are getting off.

My oldest and youngest daughters had to be convinced that their peanut allergies were not severe enough for them to qualify for one of the specially trained service dogs that are trained just north of ushttp://www.peanutdog.com/index.html (which I think are absolutely amazing and further proof of how smart dogs are BTW). I think my oldest daughter just wanted to be able to take a dog with her 24/7.

karentan · 10-20-2010, 11:10 AM

we're also on the 2011 TA and i've been keeping a list of whos on the WBTA next year, and didnt put two and two together that you're on it too! i've read your TR before and shadow looks like a great dog! we both love dogs, and to be honest, the hardest thing about going away is leaving our german shepherd! gary (DH) says if he needs a walk or another cuddle, he'd be more than happy to help!
