X2 less stress
Actually, this system never reduces the stress because if you aren't willing to deal with a rambunctious 1 year old dog, you won't be willing to deal with that same dog in a year or two or three when it still has never experienced being around a campground - now it's a full grown ill-behaved dog.
As a long-time rescuer, I can say the number one reason people get rid of their dogs is because they didn't take the time to socialize and train them when the dogs were young and then it became MORE STRESSFUL (not less) to deal with the unsocialized/untrained adult dog.
