We travel with 3 dogs. 2 cocker spaniels and one Standard poodle.
When we go camping I try to make a point of meeting my neighbors and introduce myself. I tell them about the dogs and provide them my cell phone number. I ask them to call me if there is any problem and we will gladly come back and take care of it. When we go out without the dogs they are kept inside the RV with AC and stereo on.
In over 10 years I have not received a phone call. I do follow up with the neighbors after we come back to make sure there were no problems. One time they reported that some kids from the campground were banging on the side of our 5th wheel causing the dogs to bark. They told them to stop and the dogs quieted down.
When we are with the dogs we control their behavior to insure everyone has a enjoyable time. Kept on leash, picked up after and kept off other campsites.
All it takes is some basic training but I know there are those that don't do it and that gives all pet owners a black eye.
