we've been camping for 40 or so years, just about ALL with a lab of some age..
I am in the group of folks that always ASSUMED that " no dogs unattended" rule was for people leaving their dogs outside.. unattended.. for hours..
I happen to know that our 2 labs don't bark while we are away, heck they don't bark at home either. We always have another camper or 2 with us and they all know to go and get our dogs if they are barking while we are away. They have not gotten our dogs 1 time to date.
I also agree with the idea to keep the dog isolated from outside "stuff" .. we keep the AC blowing ( or heat ) , shades usually pulled, and TV on for noise.
I have had several folks tell me that if they didn't see the dogs, they would never had known we had a dog..
So... If my dogs start to bark while we are away, we have always said we will rethink our travel schedules...
