Worried about a/c failing and dogs cooking
I always worry about my a/c failing while we're out and the dogs cooking in the camper. The campground could lose power or any number of things could cause the a/c to fail. Do you worry when you're go...

Surely if the owner says their dog NEVER barks, they MUST be right, right???
That's a rude comment! You have no idea about my dogs or me. I shouldn't have to have my thread highjacked and have to answer for my dogs that don't bark.
Are you really sure my dogs bark? I did a time lapse video of them once and posted it on youtube. They were at home but there's plenty of noises there too. The camper is just a second home to them. Want to watch it? If you do, watch the clock on the wall. Then tell me they bark.

OH! Almost forgot. One of them is deaf now so make all the noise you want she isn't going to bark at you!!!!
Dogs bark primarily out of boredom, especially when left alone. How would you know if you're not there?
I know it is old technology, but voice activated recorders work well to determine if the dog is barking in our absence. I will not train out an occasional bark.
If you are in a campground that allows dogs, you will hear an occasional bark. To expect otherwise is unreasonable.
Barking continuously? That is another story.
See my earlier post in this topic about Valarm app. It allows you to record and monitor sound as well as temp. If triggered by an event (barking/temp going up) it will send email/text etc. I'm still testing but so far like the concept. So yes, I will know if my dogs are barking. They do not so far in camper left alone, in our house the will if they see people or odd noises - no idea why the difference.
