I don’t think netting is needed if the dog is well behaved. I have not seen a issue with dogs accidentally falling overboard. I have personal experience however with dogs jumping off the boat on purpose. Our Golden Retriever jumps from the boat anytime she thinks it would be fun. Speed is irrelevant to her jumping habit. She tucks and rolls like a navy seal! She also retrieves anything going overboard including children!
Ha ha agreed. Mine have never fallen but they will certainly jump (and swim a long way to shore if they feel like it). They are now confined to the cockpit when underway and in the salon/galley if left on the boat.
