have been on the road now for 5 years wishing i could enjoy just one camp without your annoying badly behaved dogs,,you so called dog lovers never cease to amaze me,,,,you stop at servo's and rest areas and let them sh##t and P*ss on park land that children play and families picnic,,,in these cases half of you don't even bother to pick it up...(we have tinted windows).....and can't you see that the poor dogs are bored to death while you lot get you jollies leading them around thinking others want to watch them taking a sh*t while they where enjoying a meal in one of these over dog populated free camps..my advise to you all is,,leave your mutts at home
Well, welcome to the forum!

Doesn't bother me what you think Judith, just don't camp near me! Never known a dog to leave a pile of dirty toilet paper, so I guess those messes must be human waste. Never know my dogs to throw beer cans or bottles onto the side of the road or leave bags of garbage at rest areas either. And I tend to stay away from playgrounds cos I can't stand the squealing (my granddaughter is at that age but her parents don't just look on fondly while she destroys the hearing of everyone within a kilometre). So, as they said, live and let live. Unlike people my dogs are never grumpy, but I certainly can be.
PS if you've been grumpy about this for 5 years, why don't you just stay at the non-pet-friendly caravan parks?

My wife and I travel with our dogs, we clean up after them as well, it makes me laugh a bit when people complain, a lot of camp sites are also visited by the local wild life, wallabies, possums, kangeroos etc and I havent seen anyone running around cleaning up after them. I do think Judith had every right to be peeved with a dog doing its busyness under her awning, but otherwise I agree I have seen a lot worse left by people, disposable nappies are a pet hate of mine. I have seen them dumped everywhere. Then of course there are cigarette packets, Maccas rubbish etc. It dosnt matter where you go there will always be those who are going to be iresponsable. My idea is to just act how I would want others too and hope they follow. I clean up our site always and if possible try to make it better than how I found it.
I hope Judith continues to travel and has the plaesure of meeting some of the many good pet owners out there. As for leaving my dog at home, on the occasions I do he sits at the door and howles, so I am sure he prefers to be with me.
Cheers Andrew

I agreed with everything you wrote until this last statement.
Caravan parks are for people, not dogs. It makes no difference whether they're pet-friendly. Please bear that in mind if you choose to bring your dog with you, as I will.
In fact my neighbour's 12 little rodents are yapping right now, as they will do every second minute of every single annoying day until they die.

Caravan Parks are not Kindergartens either!
I have seen more well-behaved dogs than kids in parks who seem to scream and carry-on of an arvo during "Granny Nap" time.

Well Dorian, I actually can sympathise with your annoyance at dogs that bark continuously, I've lived in places where that kind were next door and it can drive you nuts. I confess one of mine barks a bit more than I like, but as I never stay in CPs I don't suppose he'll ever bother you. And when I'm home, well, my nearest neighbour is a prawn farm some 600m away. Just how I like it.
PS I don't eat seafood so there's no compensation for the sound of the aerators at night!

WOW what a way to start reading a post.We have two dogs and them being a Jack Russel & a Maremma.I take the Maremma for a walk every morning and afternoon,regardless of where we are and I always carry a plastic carry bag and some dunny paper in it to clean up if Tara (Maremma) has an accident,BUT I have yet to strike any caravan park that has owners with dogs off the lead or not cleaning up after them.
It seems that our poster must have either had a bad experience with the dog she has or missed out on HER walk the night befoire.
Madam,we arent all as bad as that,in actual fact the only town that has 'Banned' animals from caravan parks if in Broome,where there are certain times of the year that animals are allowed.
Madam,go get a life will you

We stayed at a great park at North Haven and the big sign said, " dogs welcome, keep your kids on a lead" i thought how cool was that and more than appropriate in many cases.
More mongral kids out there than dogs.

Bit of an unfortunate rant to choose as your introduction and first post, I thought.
Its a shame when people do that, because they invite responses with the same degree of "rant" and then feel unwelcome. Most of us have had some sort of rant about a pet hate at some stage, and we all live to fight another day, as long as its all among friends.
Everyone's welcome here, but if you want to feel the warmth, say hello first.

Yes, Rosie I posted something once about our daughter's new puppy and got 'ranted' by a new member. I think I saw them once more and they were gone. Daughter now has a second puppy and vet has told them they are doing a good job in handling them. It certainly leaves a bad taste in the mouth to read a first post that isn't pleasant.

Wow I've been away for a couple of weeks, & haven't been looking at the screen. Too many good things to see, & people to talk to, when away. I haven't seen a topic attract attention for as long, as this one has. Good to see most of the comments are from fellow dog lovers.
I had to leave my girl with a friend for a week while away. I know she would have been loved to bits, but i still missed her. Its amazing the companionship you get from a dog.
Cheers Pete

Judith, I symapthise with you. I am a dog owner and travel with my dogs, but they are always kept under control. They walk miles with me each day.
I do not take them to receational areas to defecate, I either pick up their poos or bury it, depending where I am. At the moment I am staying in Agnes water which allows dogs under control, what a joke, at the moment there are at least 5 dogs walking around loose and peeing and pooing whereever they like. It is dog owners like this that will eventually mean this camp will not allow dogs.

lucky you to be able to walk miles. Some of us can't anymore. I'd rather step where a dog has been than where some human has spat or left broken beer bottles or used syringes. Perhaps we should ban humans.

Gee,Peter-n-Margaret,
thought I was being a resposible dog owner. The anti bark collar is the citronella type.
Works beautifully too. As for the de-sexing . That had already been done
when we got him (would have done it anyway).
After our 3rd child sent husband for the snip too

When I researched anti-bark collars, I found the RSPCA doesn't support them as it is cruel.
De-sexing is not cruel, it is responsible dog ownership.

I had both mine desexed as soon as possible. Frustrated male dogs can be very annoying and IMHO it is cruel to leave them whole & deny them the resultant needs. Besides mine are pedigreed & there is a real risk of them being stolen, so the snip & the chip have made them worthless to anyone but me. As for the anti-barking collar, I've just ordered one which has a remote control that can be used to make the collar vibrate and/or deliver a high-pitched noise. I know it's unkind, but so is having to have him put down because he upsets everyone with incessant barking, and I am at wits end on how to stop it. I rescued him from an abusive home when he was about 1yo, and he has never really been "normal". I think malnutrition as a pup must have done permanent damage, but still, he's an affectionate little chap and OK when there's nothing to frighten him (& he's frightened of just about everything but especially people he doesn't know and big dogs). So, the RSPCA may not approve but they would have put him down because he can't socialise, but I think he's worth persevering with.

I think its far more cruel to de-bark a dog surgically. Amazed that it can be done legally.
