I have seen people let their dogs pee all over the picnic tables and the water faucet hookup. They are doing their business on every square inch of the park. Dogs are getting to be the #1 complaint. Too many dogs, all the constant barking, people bringing multiple dogs, 3 or more.
When there are over 60+ dogs in an RV park being walked 3-4 times a day doing their business anywhere they want is disgusting. More and more parks will start charging fees for pets. Try and sit outside or go for a walk and you have to look at dogs doing their business everywhere.
It's really a shame that people stereotype ALL people hat have their pets with them when camping. Not all dog owners let their pet mess everywhere. There are many of us that are respectful of other campers and do take our pets to the appropriate facilities and clean up after them. My dog is ALWAYS on a leash and is not a barker unless someone try's to enter the 5er without Myself or DW there. I can assure you that my dog is MUCH more behaved than most of the kids that are running around the campground. MY dog isn't running around like a fool and screaming like a banshee, throwing its trash just anywhere it likes, riding its bike through my campsite, running out in front of cars and walking down the middle of the road not letting the traffic through. You see, this complaint can be said of just about anything. Don't get the wrong idea, I love kids and enjoy hearing them laugh and play as they should, I raised 2 wonderful kids and have 2 beautiful granddaughters. My point is DON'T hold the majority of pet owners at fault for what I feel is a minority's actions. My wife and I will continue to bring our beloved JoJo along with us every time we go camping. If we happen to be in the same camp ground as you and you don't like camping around dogs you are more than welcome to go inside your camper until we pass by your site while taking a walk. Tim
I did not say I do not like dogs. Read my post. It is the Majority of dog owners causing problems. When the majority of people are bringing 3-4 or more dogs to these parks there are problems. There are several threads addressing these complaints and it is getting worse. People lie and say they have one dog when they have several.
We were at a place they had 5 locked up barking in the RV all day while they were gone. This is not just one incident and one place. Unfortunately, it is really a shame, that there will always be people who ruin it for others. It is not just one or two campers ruining it for others. That is why parks are starting to charge for dogs and have a limit as to how many.
People should not be letting their dogs do their business as they walk or pass by "anybody's" site.
