WOW.....All you Hollier-than-thou responders amase me! If you dont like Dogs/Pets, I suggest you get out of RV'ing.As for some of you Smart Azz's....Yes, I do ask my neighbors whether my dogs have been a problem. I take responsibility for my pets as I KNOW most RV'ers do....the perception that all dogs bark when left alone is so far from reality that its not worth commenting about. It seems some of you have been on the road Toooo long and you are so intent on having things your way, that there is NO room for anyone else's idea of Fun and relaxation!

Ive had dogs and Camped/RV'ed my entire adult life and Ive never had issue one with someone else's dogs..NEVER I honestly believe that those here that have no patience, no sense of give and take are so wrapped up in there own little world, the fact that you even have a Dog at all is enough to set them off. Trust me, its always some on the same people on these threads that take such offense to anything Dog related. With all this being said, the common meaning of "not leaving pets unattended" is meant to mean "outside" and we all know this.
I love these Dog threads....Dogs are a part of RV'ing, so get over it!
Oh....now have a Good Day :B

Wow an expert on barking dogs, but has never experienced any in a CG. this past April in a South Carolina SP we had some tenter's camped next to us that had a big dog tied out to a Sky Kennel along with a small yappy dog. They left for over 12 hrs. with one attending to the dogs. Every time people walked by the campsite the yappy dog barked, this went on for the entire time they were gone, sorry you weren't there so you could experience your first barking dog. At another campsite we were at previously the people left their small dog in their TT with the windows open and no curtains closed and that dog jumped up and looked out the windows and barked at everyone that walked bye, again left alone for over 6 hrs. so don't me all dog owners are considerate or caring for their dogs.

Another topic you didn't mention is those that do not clean up after their dogs, and I suppose you have never seen this happen either. Some dog owners are as clueless as some families that let their kids run wide,through other campsites, yelling, etc. Some RVr's are considerate and some are clueless and should take a course in courtesy while camping.

Now before you assume I am a dog hater, we have traveled with up to 5 dogs when we had a TT and now travel with 3 Basset hounds in our MH. When we leave they are crated and we leave a radio on, which blocks out any outside noise, as our MH is very well insulated from outside noise. We have an Auto Gen system to keep the AC units on if their is a power outage.

So like Jack Nicholson, once said "You can't Handle the Truth" to Tom Cruise.
