Regarding dogs I would suggest this.
Dogs are a lot diffrent than humans and other animals, they like to do their crap in farmiliar places but not onboard a small sailboat.
This I know works. Take the fecites and wipe on a small wooven rug and put it on deck, the dog will sniff it out and except it as a place to do potty and all you have to do is rince it off. The dog will adventually know that the pad is his place to do it's stuff every time.
Works for every dog I known.

I´m absolutely aware of the responsibiliy which is taken with an animal at home. As I´m I retired and we are living in a green embiance the general situation is given to take care of the dog. However I´m not sure about how this is accordable with staying on board of theespecially if it´s not possible to land for more than one day

: Is it possible to teach a dog to sh~t in a box? Which would be the best breed of dog to take on board?
Friends of mine have a Australian Shepherd on board.
I asked them about it and they told me that in the Mediterranian Sea they were used to row the dog to an island for it´s sh~t until- all on it´s own- it started to jump into the water, swimm to the island, doing it´s job there and swimming back
