It would seem to have become a custom and practice for dog owners to be using extra long leads when walking their dogs around the caravan club sites allowing them to roam away from the road way onto the grass areas around people's caravans and urinating on the grass and up the sides of awnings and windbreaks (and this is not foxes). This has happened on more than one occasion and I strongly object to have to wash my awning because of other people's thoughtlessness. I have witnessed dog owners chatting to each other on the roadway allowing their dogs to wander and urinate on other people's pitches and sometimes entering the awning itself. Not everyone is a dog lover. My two 2 year old grandchildren love to roll around and play on the grass outside our caravan and this is putting their health at risk by dogs being allowed to use the grass areas as toilets. The caravan club should insist that all dogs being walked around the sites should be kept on short leads thus ensuring a safer and cleaner environment for everyone. I have also spoke to the wardens when on site but although sympathetic nothing changes. This should be one of the club's rules and not be laid at the feet of hard working wardens to deal with. Perhaps a polite notice in the office would be an obvious way forward.

Bobngill,
Earlier today you were given advice about where to post anything regarding caravanning with dogs in a thread you started in the Club Membership.
This is a duplicate thread on the same topic and is also closed because our Community Manager asks that all posts relating to caravanning with dogs be kept together >>> here <<< in the UK Sites and Touring Section.
Please don't start another thread anywhere else other than where I've highlighted above.
If you need assistance on how or where to post, please feel free to ask.
Many Thanks.
