Dogs in bathrooms

The past 2 years I have noticed an increase in people taking their dogs into the campground bathroom. What is going on with this? These are not therapy dogs - they are tied up outside campers and such. Being camped next to a few bathrooms this fall, and not able to get out some days, I was able to watch 5 people do this in a 2 week period. That seems excessive!

    Yes, they need a vest that anyone can buy on Amazon. :B

    Cleaning up their urine isn't much fun either.
  • When you gotta go, you gotta go. If there's no place outside the bathroom to tie a dog or even if there is, if the dog would not respond well to being left alone or approached by strangers, it seems logical to simply keep the dog with you if there's no time to get to the lavvy in the RV. When nature calls, folks don't stall.

    There's also been problems with dogs being stolen as well.

    Now if the dog is using the toilet, drinking from the toilet, or doing business on the floor, that's another story altogether.

    You should know by now, the rules don't apply to everyone, just ask them. :)

  • If I'm out walking my dog and I'm too far from my Rv I will take my very large dog into the bathroom with me. I don't want him intimidating anyone while I'm inside. I've yet to have anyone complain about this. I have had my kids not go into a bathroom because of aggressive dogs tied up outside of them. Too each their own I guess.
  • And the point is? I see no problem taking my dog anywhere we go. Heck, in Europe you see lots of dogs in restraunts. Which I have no problem with. What urkes me is idiots that dont clean up their dog poo in campgrounds. It means I have to.
  • question, what are the dogs doing? if releaving them self? go tell the camp host.
