Never had a dog chit on the front of my boat, but I do have a heckuva time keepin him outta the cockpit and off the blind. He's stays in his place when I'm in the boat but when I get out for any reason at all, especially setting or picking up decoys he thinks he gets free run of the boat so he's in and out of it till every thing is soaked and the boat full of water. Yeah I can train it out of him....just another thing on my list of screwups that need fixin with this dog.....
