Dog fence when sitting outside camper with dog

tarheelman I never really noticed until recently but I'm seeing more and more campgrounds ban the pet fences. Mowing was the reason at one place, another said it was an insurance requirement and one other said they've had to many jump over and take after another animal or left outside alone. I'm not sure the real reason why it seems to be more common now, but just be sure you call ahead and verify the rules of the campground you are at.

I only use a leash when outside the camper for several reasons:

1. it ensures that I am paying attention to what my dog is doing

2. it ensures that I will be able to quickly interact if a kid or another dog suddenly approaches my dog

3. it ensures that I am following campground rules and that my dog is not left unattended at any time.

No!
4 nights ago, the neighbors in the next camp site over tethered their 80+ pounder on a spiral screw in stake in the ground. It charged me and my dog and popped the stake right out of the ground. It wasn't pretty.

1st ....check with CG that dog pens are allowed

2nd ...golden doodles are not small dogs and can overcome dog pens

3rd ...pets should be on leash when outside the RV and under direct control of owner
