I'm unsure how you would enforce a fine (upfront deposit?). I would guess most would result in the offender being ejected and not welcome to return but as far as a fine I don't believe you would have the legal right to do so. I'm completely for the warning and ejection of the offenders. We don't own a dog but do realize there are wonderful owners and owners who are abismal. This summer we watched a young family next to us allow their terrier to off leash do running attacks at every leashed dog that walked by. Later I saw both the boy and girl (8 or 9) on top of the class c swinging toys on a rope. Dad was inside busy not caring. We were just floored.
You give fair written warning when they check in and, if presented with evidence/reports from other residents, then the charge is simply tacked onto their credit card bill, or they pay cash. At that point, if the camper is offended and files a chargeback, the CG =should= be able to show the "evidence"/signed reports =and= the signed rental agreement (maybe even with initials next to this specific rule) and there should be no problem with them losing the funds. As far as dogs running off-leash, that's usually a city/county animal control issue and you can call them if the CG staff don't/won't. I'd've certainly reported it, especially if the loose dog attacked mine.
