If you take your dog type child camping with you remember one thing. Dogs tend to bark when left alone. Not all do but a lot of them do. If you want a bunch of upset campers leave a dog at the camp site and then leave. If while camping you can't take your dog with you on side trips maybe it would be better to leave the dog at home in the care of someone. A lot of campgrounds now restrict the size of a dog in an effort to keep vicious dogs out. Others have a list of the types of dogs that they do not allow in the campground. If you travel with your dog it would be a good idea to check the rules before pulling in.

One reason we liked about camping was campgrounds are pet friendly, unlike hotels. I'm sorry to hear that some are not allowing pets. Y IZ IT some have to spoil it for others!!!

I agree 100%. Taking the family dog along is part of the fun of camping. The dog will get more attention then than any other time. Terry ------------- RP-175 W/Lift Kit 2011 Ford F-150 4X4 Saint Augustine, FL: The first permanent European settlement in the USA: 1565 |

We have a little Maltese and she is happy just to get to be with us. She has her own little carrier...I take her to the bath house with me and she sits patiently in it while I shower. She has become a real "camper dog" all 8 pounds of her! ------------- Happy Trails! Jerry & Sandy and an 8 lb Maltese dog |

Sounds pretty good! I used to keep a water dish at the edge of our lot when camping. Dogs get thirsty when walking the campground!  Terry ------------- RP-175 W/Lift Kit 2011 Ford F-150 4X4 Saint Augustine, FL: The first permanent European settlement in the USA: 1565 |

After 12 wonderful years with our Sheltie " Monty " we had to put him to sleep 12 days ago. They do bark but they make great companions for camping. We are now thinking about another dog but none will replace the one you had.

Sorry for your loss. We had our 12 year old sheltie, Angel, put to sleep two years ago and said we would never have another dog as it was too painful to let them go. Didn't last long. We now have two shelties in our Pod, one is a barker and the other quiet as a mouse. Camping was just not the same without a Sheltie. Our motto is "Shelties are like a potato chip.........you can never have just one". ------------- 2010 R-Pod 177 / 2009 GMC Canyon 4X4 Gerald, Lydia and The Boys (2 Shelties)......Canuck Podders |

... and let me add, if you're one of those people reading this right now saying "Oh, they're not talking about us. We know our dog is good/quiet when we leave him/her in the camper when we'll take a stroll".................. YOU'RE WRONG. Your dog is in fact barking and whimpering most of the time your're gone. It only shuts up when it senses you're approaching the camper on the return trip.

Just please be considerate of the fact that not everyone enjoys your dog(s) or the mess he makes or the barking he does or the times the inconsiderate owners feel that "they" don't need to leach their dog.

| There are these little gadgets called bark-collars. Why don't people use them? A good one (and I wouldn't recommend the cheap ones you get at PetCo) are very safe and effective. They are also programmable with a wide range of intensities. It's so stupid to make public policy (not allowing dogs in camp-grounds) based upon pet owning idiots. Why not tell the offenders to leave? |

We travel with two Yorkies.
We recently purchased a Petsafe no bark unit. It operates off a 9 volt battery and has a 25 foot range. Nothing for the dogs to wear, but it emits a high pitched tone only they can hear if they bark. Our dogs DO NOT like the tone and it took a short amount of time for them to learn that barking = annoying tone. The best $25 investment I have made.

Almost every campground l have been to prohibits leaving dogs unattended in the camper for that reason (barking ) . lt is in fortunate that a lot of dog owners ignore this regulation and then wonder why campground refuse to allow dogs. I am a former dog owner and always took my dog with me when l left the campground. I missed out on a lot of hikes because the dog could not go on a trail but l would find other things to do with the pet were he could accompany me or not do it. That's what a responsible pet owner does. Now days many attractions offer pet care while you are doing their activities (such as whale watching at Bar Harbor,Maine). It was not available a few years ago. No longer have a pet at the moment but annoyed by others lack of responsible pet ownership. ------------- J. - 2011 rpod 171 |

Be a neighbor. Go over and calmly point out the dog and your complaint, and remind them that you are not involving animal control or the police at this time - you want to work this out as neighbors. Most of the time they are not even aware of the problem, especially if they are at work all day. This approach has worked for me here in rural Nevada, good luck! And at least when you do involve the cops, you can honestly tell them you tried other ways before calling them. ------------- You give peace a chance.

Just remember at most private and especially federal campgrounds pets are not allowed in any facility ( including bathrooms) unless they are services animals. ------------- J. - 2011 rpod 171 |

Our cat Fender doesn't know it yet but he is about to become a camping cat! He doesn't like the car! Any suggestions on how to make him ease into camping? Thanks, Ginger ------------- Wahlswheels |
