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 Wink]]> Fri, 15 Dec 2017 10:25:52 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10047&PID=102958#102958 Yappy Dogs and Campsite etiquette : We have to wiener dogs and they... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10047&PID=102955#102955 Author: rawest50

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. ]]> Fri, 15 Dec 2017 07:56:36 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10047&PID=102955#102955 Yappy Dogs and Campsite etiquette : I have a bark collar I use in... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10047&PID=102946#102946 Author: Tracydr

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.

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.]]> Thu, 14 Dec 2017 17:29:27 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10047&PID=102944#102944 Yappy Dogs and Campsite etiquette : Some friends of ours took their... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10047&PID=102943#102943 Author: Mirado

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.

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. ]]> Sun, 04 Jun 2017 06:47:32 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10047&PID=94440#94440 Yappy Dogs and Campsite etiquette : Funny, thank you.

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. Smile

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.]]> Thu, 01 Jun 2017 17:52:56 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10047&PID=94307#94307 Yappy Dogs and Campsite etiquette : We take our Bostons with us and... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10047&PID=94306#94306 Author: Keith-N-Dar

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. ]]> Thu, 01 Jun 2017 15:31:42 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10047&PID=94302#94302 Yappy Dogs and Campsite etiquette : I have been fortunate in that... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10047&PID=94044#94044 Author: jato

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.]]> Sat, 27 May 2017 18:19:05 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10047&PID=94044#94044 Yappy Dogs and Campsite etiquette : I talked to the manager already.... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10047&PID=94036#94036 Author: cjscinta

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.
