Inconsiderate Dog owners

Why should you expect teachers to do that for you?

"Its a shame really that animals that give so much pleasure to their families can be brought into question by the few. "

Agreed, but let's remember it is a few. From your own post 28 out of 30 well behaved dogs - that's 90+% - a better ratio than humans on some sites we've visited!  

A peaceful afternoon or evening can be spoilt by all sorts of things, ranging from grass cutting on your area of the site, loud televisions or music, a generator, low flying jets, a group of friends enjoying a get together, a dog barking, smoke from a BBQ, bottles being thrown into the bin....I could go on and on and on.......the problem is you are on a site sharing with other people, it's one of the drawbacks but probably beats staying at home and never going away. 

brue - that is one of the best posts I've read on CT for some considerable time!

Well thank you Moulesy, just for once my brain was in gear. 

Well said dreamer 1

I also have two dogs, and do my utmost to make sure they don't infringe on anyone's relaxation and enjoyment. Its just a shame some don't do the same. But I get fed up keep reading all these anti dog comments by non dog owners. If something bothers you just go and have a polite word with them. If they are rude/not interested report it to the warden.

Posting about it on here will have no impact at all and suggesting dog owners get charged extra is a stupid comment in my opinion .

On my last two trips I have seen on many occasions something which is far more important that needs addressing, cars/motorhomes going way too fast on site, many of them with young children inside. God forbid there were an accident but I bet I can imagine the reaction if there was from one of the offenders

I have no axe to grind either way. However, although they don't use the toilet block. There is often a dog walk provided, plus bins to empty. Also quite a few sites are providing a dog wash. So perhaps not such a stupid comment.

PS I don't mind the expense of the dog wash, it is very useful to wash our muddy boots off.😀

A dog wash used for cleaning muddy boots. Great idea. 

Tin hat now on.

Someone on a recent thread mentioned that CAMC sites should be benchmarking themselves against the private Ross Park near Totnes.

We were there just last week - huge enclosed dog exercise area, poo bags supplied at various points around the site, warm water dog wash -  and dogs go free there! 

Sounds like they are responding to their customer base to me, I would suggest a high proportion of caravan and motorhome owners participate in the hobby because they can have there family pets with them.
