We require pets to be on a leash when they are not in the RV. Do we look the other way when people are sitting outside with them? Yes. Do we allow fencing? No. Reasons: We are an RV park not a kenneling facility. If we wanted our sites to be fenced, we would fence them. A pet confined by a fence is not under anyone's control. They will evacuate their bowels and there will not be anyone there to clean it up. If a child wanders up to the dog, there is no one to assure their safety. And finally, I haven't seen too many portable fences that actually will confine a pet intent on going elsewhere. It is a false sense of security.
WRVPO you are still the man! There was a recent post concerning an off leash dog on a beach. I suggested if the owner was present and had the dog was under control then there was no harm no foul and the rule could be overlooked.
I'm glad we can agree on this issue. Many mmembers were in the no rule can ever be ignored camp.
Where we agree is that common sense must be factored in. No tolerance is fools gold.
