as most will be aware two people have died this week from injuries sustained by dogs and im sure you will join me in extending condolancies to their families, i have deliberately titled this thread this way because i believe that the dogs are only dangerous if allowed to be sometimes "deliberately" others by pure chance,eg it makes a bid for freedom by chance,never the less any death that could have been prevented is one too many,and before the doggy people attack me, the question (debate) is should the law now be tightened as to what type of dogs people are allowed to keep and penalties for owners of dogs that are not controlled properly as i believe most do

The club 'should' realise..... Should they really? That's your opinion, HH, but please don't presume to tell CC, or the rest of us, how things should work.

We are getting way off topic now. Perhaps HH and Keens haven't seen the sticky thread in UK sites about caravanning with dogs. The Community Manager's opening post in that thread is well worth reading.

Happy to help.

I agree with the last person comments, there are just too many dogs on site, as they said, there appears more dog than people. perhaps with should rename the club to Caravan and Dog Club as it seems their are as many dogs as vans, I think the club should realise that not everybody likes dogs and should be segregated, its not just the dogs its the stuff they leave behind.

 

Write your comments here...I have to disagree with you about the number of dogs on sites. The CC do allow customers to bring their dogs to their campsites. The dog owners are doing nothing wrong in doing so. 

Most of us on this forum will disagree in an agreeable way, . Unfortunately you appear to have been subjected to, IMO, a very agressive post from a previous poster.  

Quote from that post  "The club 'should' realise..... Should they really? That's your opinion, HH, but please don't presume to tell CC, or the rest of us, how things should work".

The subject of dogs can bring out strong emotions as we can all see. But individuals should be entitled to express their views in a friendly way.--- It is written into the Forum's T&C's.

I think the club would loose a lot of money if they started charging for dogs, I for one would walk.  What would help in my opinion is enforcing of the rules on responsible behaviour on dog owners.  One site I stayed on this year had clear notices that not clearing up after your dog would result in being asked to leave. An AS site I think.

Forgive me for referring to the original post, but wasn't it about Dangerous Dogs, not all dogs?      I was brought up to 'live and let live' in a society which contains all sorts and types of people (including children!), dogs, chickens and a myriad of other animals.  Regrettably, many debates on this site revert to suggestions to 'ban' or 'charge for' things that the poster does not personally like.  Some of the previous posts on this thread fall into that category.  
If it was me, I would ask for 'grumpy old so and so's' to be banned from all Caravan Club sites in the interests of the majority.  I would be interested to know how many people agree?

Can I offer a slight correction here?   "The CC must take into account that .....".  It is a straightforward Health and Safety issue.  If it was anything else causing noise polution, smearing the ground with fecal matter, or causing people to be in fear of moving about outside it would be being dealt with by the courts with considerable fines.
