We have, as rarely as possible, camped where the neighbors were so close that a barking dog would be a real nuisance. I hesitate to even call that camping, more like parking lot squatting. But sometimes it is the only option, and I too would hesitate to leave my dog alone in that situation. She would probably hear the neighbors simply talking in a normal voice, and that might well cause a problem. So I wouldn't do that. I'm sure she would bark at those noises that she couldn't see.Lantley wrote:X3. Our dog is well trained, and has it's place in our family. Sometimes that place is alone in the camper while we are canoeing or engaged in an activity the dog cannot participate in. She's content in her place as she's well trained - by me, and also well loved.bpounds wrote:
I find it hard to believe that no one here leaves their dog alone for a couple of hours. What do you do at home? Take the dog everywhere with you? Our camper is our home when we are camping. Dog is happy to live in the camper. She prefers to not be alone, but that's true at home as well, and dog has to learn that sometimes she is expected to behave without our being there to monitor.
It takes training. Easy to find out how to do it and there are many books and videos. Basically just start out with very short periods, with you right outside the door to monitor, and to take action if bad behavior begins. Soon your dog won't know if you are really gone, or just outside the door. Also soon you will know if you have a lonely barker or not. Oddly, our dogs have always seemed to be on their very best behavior when we are gone. Nothing chewed up. Pretty sure that when we leave, nap time begins.
If we want to go to dinner, much better to leave Mandolin in the camper than in the truck. I'm careful to turn off ignition sources like the water heater when we leave. But that's just smart practice regardless.
I don't feel the need for a monitor, and where we camp it would be unusual to have a cell signal anyway. I wouldn't expect weather to change so drastically in 2 hours that it would be a surprise. Just take some time for training, in the camper, in strange campgrounds, and you should be fine. And common sense would say, don't leave fido alone in a strange campground the very first moment you arrive.
I agree with the above. I'm not sure what all the fuss is about?
I take my dog camping and have no need to monitor what's going on. The dog is content alone in the trailer for hours. He stays home for hours as well. I can go all day without worry.
Sure the A/C could fail , but the dog is not going to instantly or automatically perish without A/C.
For the most part we are not gone that long, but on occasion we can be gone all day. We have not had any issues in 10+ years with 2 different dogs.
I love my dog but I do not worry about him while I'm gone.
I am always concerned about the dog however I seldom worry about the dog. YMMV
In the end I guess it comes down to your comfort level and the dogs training and comfort level.
