In light of the 'jumped the shark ' post I'll end my end of this but I'll send your contact info to him and he can do what he wants with it.

You either have a very short attention span or a very low level of comprehension. Go ahead and bail now that you are in a corner.

But just so its not misunderstood again...I still don't believe the "mostly" fine folks of this Forum are to blame.

Why would you be close enough to an RV to hear dogs confined in it?

Interesting question to ask someone like me with four dogs that go everywhere with us. I think I've made it plain as day that in all my years of camping/RV'ing, a barking dog has never risen to annoyance stature!( I guess that means I've never been close enough to my neighbor's paper thin walls to hear much of anything) I made the comment about changing ones itinerary to accommodate those certain "members" whose hearing is so much more sensitive and selective than mine. Once again....even with all my years of RV'ing with dogs, never once has anyone complained about them and I ask to be sure there not a nuisance to anyone.

I will take a different stand on the use of "pens" .....I set them up at every site I go too but I assure you, my dogs are never left out alone, someone is always supervising their activity.

uh, dumb question. some rv sites you are packed on top of each other. you don't have to be 'close enough', as in tresspassing onto their site, to hear a loud barking mutt.

at the beach we were about 8 ft max from our neighbors camper. their little white dog sat at the window and non-stop barked at us under our awning. think we couldn't hear it? You bet I could :)

why would you consider a place where you are no more than 8 feet apart? How could it possibly be enjoyable camping to sit outside 8 ft from a a neighbor's plastic wall?

I'm trying to understand not argue.

sometimes you walk into it. old cg on beach. Holden beach campground. older than the hills and SUPER small. like 22 sites right on the water. location location location. sites are so close it is scary. :) every now and then ya run into these types of situations. Would I go back? haven't yet and it was about 3 years ago we went. but hey, ya never know. if the urge hits I might just book it again cause it was a nice area.

Our dog is trained not to bark when left alone, and campers report that he does not.

He is a dog and nothing is absolute, so we also have a sign in the window. It says:

"We have one dog inside. In case of emergency: Please Rescue.

In non-emergency situations or excessive barking:
Please call our mobile at XXX-XXXX-XXXX.

We desire to be good camping neighbors and appreciate your help."

Works for us.

Very considerate and appreciated! Seeing something like this note showing the owner has consideration for his neighbors would be repaid with EXTRA tolerance on our part if camped near you.

Well done.

You could replace the word "dog" with "screaming child," and most of these posts would not need any change in wording!! (excluding shock collars) :B:B:B

No matter the source, unwanted noise is unwanted noise.

A little consideration for others goes a long way.

After reading 12 pages of discussion I have come to a conclusion. There those that care if their dogs are annoying their neighbors and will do something to correct the problem and their are those that think they have the perfect pet and we should all be delighted that they are allowing us to enjoy the constant yapping of their "Muffy"
and if we don't like it TS. The suggestion that I should move or go do something away from my camp site in order to not be annoyed by some body's yapping dog was a real Lulu. I would love to have him park by me and tell me that.

then it's your responsibility to go somewhere else so you're not annoyed. Get a different site in the CG

Spoken like a thoughtless dog owner:(

X2 His camping trip is more important than yours. If he parks beside you and can't control his pet it is your problem so you should move. I DON'T THINK SO !!!

Cuz if you can't hear the dog, you can't join the rant. :)
