Now I must first qualify by saying I love dogs. I wish I had one. They can be members of our family. Just like our kids. Why would we not take them camping with us? Here I am sitting at beautiful Destin West RV park and for 2 straight days the camper behind us has had their dog locked up while they are gone while their little member of the family is barking his little head off continuously nonstop for 2 straight days. Really? Not fair to the dog or anyone else in this campground. There, I said it. Thanks for listening. ------------- 2017 R-pod 179 |

campground managers are there for a reason.

I talked to the manager already. He wasn't very helpful. Too bad. This is one of those times that I am glad my Ac sounds like a freight train. 😀 ------------- 2017 R-pod 179 |

I have been fortunate in that campground managers have been very helpful when we have encountered this problem, and it happens more than I wish. If this is a public campground I would send a text or letter to the powers that be who are the owners/managers of the campground. At least I would feel like I am letting them know how unsympathetic the camp mgr. was to my dilemma and that they have lost any future potential income from me as well as others whom I will tell this story to.

I brought my dog camping with us memorial day weekend. It was his first time. He is a pit bull mix. He can be protective especially of "mom". He behaved extremely well, with almost no barking. I of course acted like a responsible dog owner and didnt go places, or do things that required me to leave my buddy locked up in a trailer while i went and had fun. ------------- 2017.5 Rp-172 2020 R-pod 195 2015 Frontier sv 4.0L 6cyl I'll be rpodding |

We take our Bostons with us and when we are not with them we put them in their kennel boxes. They are happy and safe as well as quiet. We are not gone long and it works well.

We travel with our English Bulldog. He doesn't bark, he doesn't chew, he doesn't dig, he doesn't bite, he sleeps. Only time I have to be concerned is when he is outside, if you walk by he expects to be petted. Which can be disconcerting if you are walking by and a 80 lb dog approaches you. We keep him tethered, he always has a fan base when we walk him. He's a sweetheart. When camping we will leave and go fishing, he is satisfied to sleep, not a sound. ------------- Mike Carter 2015 178 " I had the right to remain silent, I just didn't have the ability." |

mcarter, your English Bulldog sounds just like our Henry! "He doesn't bark, he doesn't chew, he doesn't dig, he doesn't bite, he sleeps." Yep! That's Henry. He will frighten you with the occasional hairball though. Henry is our camping cat.  fred ------------- 2014 RPod 178 => https://goo.gl/CV446f - MyMods and Buying Habits 2008 4Runner Limited 4.0-liter V6 Yes, those are wild ponies dining on grass while dumping tanks! |

| I have approached my neighbors when they return with something like "I'm sure your doggie will be glad you're home. I think you'd like to know that he barked ALL the while you were gone. If you're not here, how could you know unless someone tells you?" Friends have had success with keeping their dog inside, shades drawn, air on and radio on. |

Try sleeping at a dog show. I was parked next to a big motor home this weekend with a gazillion little,yappy Tibetan Terriers. Obnoxious! However,I know I’m not always perfect although my dogs are usually quiet. I would only complain if they were putting dogs out all night to bark. Most people at dog shows don’t get going until 6:00or later and tend to keep a pretty normal schedule so it’s ok.

Some friends of ours took their dog camping, and left it in the camper while they were gone for the day. When they returned, they were asked to leave and not come back! ------------- Miriam and Doug 2015 Rpod 181G Silverado 1500 |

Well, I guess there is a lesson in that. Pets like children need some control. I've camped next to noisy dogs but found generally I can ignore it, think its a shame folks have no consideration of their neighbors. My dog I control, if I couldn't he wouldn't be there. ------------- Mike Carter 2015 178 " I had the right to remain silent, I just didn't have the ability." |

I have a bark collar I use in hotels if I need to leave for more than an hour. My Doberman has gotten better since we travel a lot but I still put the collar on when I’m gone. I think it was about $25,highly recommended for anybody concerned about leaving their dog in the camper. Most people at dog shows put their dogs out with exercise pens during the daytime but they should be supervised when out as I’ve seen the tiniest dogs climb out. I may get one for my Doberman but I wouldn’t trust my papillon in one except if it has a cover. She hates being confined and really hates being left without me,since she also functions as my service dog.

We have to wiener dogs and they are notorious for being alert to everything going on. When outside they are tethered and one of us is always with them. They will stop barking if a stranger walks over to them and pet them. When we leave them in the camper we cage them. Then put a light blanket over the cage. I do not know what it is about the blanket but they do not bark.
We are always aware of the folks around us. ------------- 2017.5 RPod 179 2017 Jeep Unlimited Wrangler 2017 Chevy Colorado Z71 Off Road Crew Cab 2 Weiner dogs Great wife puts up with my BS ❤️ Thoroughbred Racing.

On our recent RPod trip one of the RVs had 5 small dogs (someone else counted 7, but there were at least 5). They were inside most of the day and all of them watched out the front window and barked in unison every time a vehicle, people or other dogs walked by. Which was pretty much all day long. It seemed there was someone in the RV with them at least some of the time. It was also obvious the people were there for work reasons, based on one of them leaving every morning and returning hours later. To my knowledge no one complained about them (we didn't). Probably because it was obvious they were there for job reasons (not working in the campground, but likely in the nearby town). Their RV muffled the barking enough that it wasn't awful, even though we were outside most of the time. If they had been 5 or 7 German shepherds barking instead someone might have spoken to the rangers  ------------- 2017 R-Pod 179 HRE (the green one) His:Ford F150 double cab 4WD; Hers/mine:Tacoma V6 double cab 4WD Still love rugged, diggin' comfy too |
