Me too!  I'd like to turn it off on our Toyota but only the dealer can do it....at least it is just a piezo beep instead of the actual horn, like the moron's car who was camped near us in the California Redwoods.

Have an etiquette point  to add-   if you need to access your car a dozen times overnight use the KEY!
Not the remote that makes your HORN BEEP every freakin' time......Angry

My camp-  means just that- my camp.  10 acres, privately owned by the wife and I.  Only one neighbor within 1/2 mile and darn few within 2 miles.

Out in public we carry the little doggy poop sack dispensers...unpleasant as it is to pick up a warm squishy dog poop with the bag we do it without fail.Dead  and our dogs are NEVER off leash unless in our fenced in 2 acres at home or the pen at our camp.

It is possible he cleans up on a daily basis, or at the end of the camping trip.

At my camp in the mountains of NC we notice all poop left by our two dogs is always gone the next day-  I assume it is coyotes but don't know.
Been meaning to put one of my trail cams surveilling a poop pile to get pics of what eats it overnightSmile


I hope when you say "my camp" it is your own personal property.  Responsible campers with dogs clean up after them.  If it is your property you do what you want. If shared property clean it up.

  Agreed!  This method seems a whole lot like a waiter spitting in your food because someone else stiffed him on a tip.  Even if he spits on your food because you stiffed him, it is, at the very least, inappropriate behavior.

  Campground etiquette involves communication about the annoyances of others and even tolerance sometimes, not reciprocity. 

  I go to a certain place in the Smokies regularly and for over a year there has been a hand-painted sign (outside the park) along the way to this isolated corner of the park that says "Cowards Poison Dogs".  No explanation.  I imagine it's there because the owner of the property probably had a dog that got into his neighbor's trash can, or committed some other capital offense.  Rather than simply confront the dog owner, the guy with the trash can put a poisoned hot dog in the trash can, and now the dog owner now wants to embarrass the trash can owner every time he drives by.  It's a sad commentary on modern life, but I agree with the sign owner.

This attack on dogs increases the biohazard to all of us with dogs. Please find another way to deal with your justifiable anger. I walk my 80 pound greyhound with a swinging, full baggie. There are terrible consequences of living with diseased animals. If you encourage stool ingestion by a species, you spread diseases your dog could catch as easily as licking his own paws. Then you get it. We campers must live cleanly and courtessy to stay healthy and live long. As a military officer in the Army Nurse Corps, I preached hygiene. I cover other scat as I hike.
