Camping with my dog

Hi, I'm Kevin and just purchased my first TT.
I have a 50lbs dog that will be coming with us on our weekend warrior trips. My question is that lets say the wife and kids want to go to the pool. Is it against any rules or looked down upon to put the dog (Murphy) in a cage outside under the awning with a supply of water? He loves being outside and I don't see a very good reason why this wouldn't be allowed or looked down upon, but I don't know. The cage is too big to leave in the TT. Other options of course are a staked cable dog leash. My issue with them is that before my fence was put up in my house we used that and he constantly got tangled up and stuck on things. Of course if it was extremely hot or cold I wouldn't do this. He's still under a year old and has alot of puppy left in him so I don't want to come home to a brand new chewed up TT.
  • We have someone watch our dogs at home, if we know a camping trip will have times the dogs cannot be with us. As a dog owner I always report campers that leave their dog behind in the camper for the day.
  • See my very negative reply to your plan on your other identical post.
  • Most every campground has rules you cannot leave a dog outside unattended. And no one wants to hear excessive barking.

    Put in the camper or leave at home at the dog kennel.
