Camping with a high-energy dog
It has been over a year since we lost our previous dog. We've been debating a long time to get a new dog, but finally went ahead and brought a puppy home this past week. It is a Jack Russell terrier...

My dog is a mini dashund. He was hyper , aggressive towards other people and especially kids playing. It is strange as this started in 2nd year of camping not the first. He was a great dog the first year. Come next spring he got to be a terror.
We had to go through a few classes and he is so much better now. I cringe when I see him with kids around but he does not care. Even when they are mean and hurt him recently.
He is part of our family. He is a good crate dog too. We will crate him for a couple of hours when we cannot take him with us. Again. long walks and then some treats and he is content.
towards the end of last season, we were starting to leave him uncrated and he has improved.
He is well crate trained and prefers to be in it when we are not around in the house or camper. Again, he is 4 now and I know a mile or so trip and he is done . He would relax. He hates to see me ride my bike with the kids as he wants to go.
so santa got him a pet carrier for my bike. Also a dog seat belt, incase of an accident EMT will not enter your car if a free running dog is in the car.
