Did you discuss the issue with the wardens? It would be interesting to hear their response.

It's difficult to know whether people walking with their dogs are heading to/from the dog walk/main entrance or walking around the site. Incidentally, the latter is not an issue unless it’s done with the sole intent  of toileting the dog.

We've stayed twice at Troutbeck Head, both times at the bottom of the site next to the outdoor activity centre. To get to the dog walk one must walk around/through the site (obviously, sticking to the site roads! ). 

I'm not sure how it's possible to discern whether folks are doing like us or just walking their dog "round the site"? 

You are well aware that this issue has been done to death on this forum with many posters stating what the wardens response when the matter has been raised with them. Are you really interested in hearing what another wardens response is, I know im not. (It will be along the lines of we have to catch them in the act before we can take action etc.)

As for if people are taking their dog to the designated dog walk, off site or just walking around the site, if the dog is on the correct length lead I don’t think anyone could care less. Its when the dog toilets on the site but away from the dog walk area i.e. on or near pitches that raises justified objections from people. Dogs can and should be trained correctly to prevent this.

By their third time around it does get suspicious
