I'm still stunned that it was posted on the Pet forum (smack forehead).
In a perfect world, we could say to our dogs "Please hold it until we get to the dog park 300 yards away" and they would. In a perfect world, all dog owners would be physically able to walk briskly 300 yds to the dog park. But the fact remains that dogs will seek a place to relieve their bladders, and sometimes that falls short of the designated area..... or (more likely) they've detected a "potty place" where other dogs have done the same. How does the OP know that his site doesn't carry the scents of MANY markings?
I try to steer my guys to a non-site, non-landscaped place if one is available; but many parks just don't have those kind of places.
But it's not just dogs - twice now, in my camping experiences, I've witnessed men urinating on trees. In RV parks. On sites with RVs that surely had bathrooms; not to mention public restrooms.
We probably don't want to know what goes on, on the site that we rent.....LOL!! ;-)
