tying up dogs

We use this.

X2. We attach a steel cable leash to it and generally locate it so it stretches just to the TT door. Makes it easy to open the door and have there hook-up right there. If the ground is very hard I drill a 1/2" hole to get it started.

Picnic table for us.

Those pens are nice except my present blue heeler & last dog a border collie jump into the pickup bed when I get in to go someplace. I would need a pen over 6 ft high.

That's why they make lids for the ex-pens. Which also duals as a real nice top to attach a sun screen to. :W

Ex-pens allow the dogs to relax and enjoy the camping experience also. IMHO, JMHO They can move about freely and safely in an ex-pen with out choking and getting all tangled up around themselves and tangled around the campers and tables when tied out. I just don't trust staked out dogs at CG's. I won't walk my dog past CG sites with a staked out dog. I've seen to many break away.



Midwest Crate makes them.

I have them on all my ex-pens. Keeps children hands out and usually more often than not it keeps an adult from walking up and leaning over into my ex-pens with their face to pet my dogs.:R

Picnic table -- suspect decent size dog spotting a squirrel might carry off most camping chairs.

Mine are tied by a 10 foot cable to a large eye bolt I

attached to the frame of our Class C.

You should train your dog not to do that.

I totally agree. With all due respect, you need to train your dog to NOT pull on the leash regardless if it is tied up or you holding it. I don't understand dog owners who allow their dogs to behave in a manner that is not acceptable by all. Dogs are very smart and are easily trained...it just takes an owner who has and will take the time to train them.

We tie up our dogs under the motorhome next to the step with an 3/8 inch eye bolt. Each dog is connected to two leaches so they have room to roam in the patio. It's a must to keep dogs on a harness in case they take off running, prevents accidents.

We hold on to there retractable leach.

Usually around our chair or the picnic table. At night when we around the campfire they rather be inside sleeping in our bed.

Our little girl is hooked to the chair, but normally ends up on our laps.
