We stayed at a pet friendly park last week for a few days. Had a lovely time. However, at the risk of putting my foot on it, I don’t think dogs belong in caravan parks. Whilst by far the greater majority of dogs are well behaved, with owners going on poo parade, there are the exceptions that spoil it for everyone. Had a dog in our camp lifting his leg against the wheel of our caravan with a few dogs wandering around unattended leaving proverbial parcels behind. Both my wife and I are dog lovers.

Ja, dit bly maar onaangenaam as ander mense se plesier jou plesier moet benadeel. Maar daai mense wie se honde so maak is nie op sosiale media nie.....jy sal net altyd lees van hul honde wat nooit blaf nie, nie pee of poef nie....of as hul poef, dan raak dit skaars grond dan is dit reeds in n sakkie

Op alle gebiede is die oorgrote meerderheid mense ordentlik, leef in vrede met hulle medemens en gedra hulle oor die algemeen soos opgevoede mense, wat hulle ook wel is. Dan kry jy ongelukkig die uitsondering wat net die teenoorgestelde hiervan is. Hulle sal ons ongelukkig maar altyd kry.

Parkeienaars behoort hulle reêls streng toe te pas en as dit oortree word, behoort kampeerders by Bestuur te kla.

Dis reg. Altyd net ‘n paar sondebokke wat dinge vir andere bederf…

We did camp with the two "worsies" of my daughter.  But you must be awake when they are with you.  it is a new environment for them and they would like to explore.

You must keep your eye on them constantly.

If I get issues with another campers dog, I will politely ask them to sort it out. Second time I will report to resort management.  Third time I will ran and with great effort "make believe" kick at the dog or throw it with a brick.  Usually the lady will come pick up her dog and call me names but at least I will not have the dog issue any more.

Don't get me wrong. I am an animal lover.  It is the person who is at fault not the dog.  But if you direct the "anger" away from the person towards the dog that owner will quickly sort the issue in protection of their dog.

Net 'n bietjie sielkunde ............................................ sien.

I agree with Leon.  We camped with a small dog twice and, besides getting excited about a camp cat at one resort, I can assure you our dog did not cause a nuisance to anyone and we cleaned up after her and kept her on a leash the whole time.   We no longer have a dog but still camp at dog friendly campsites occationally and still find that most people with dogs do follow the rules of decency.  For considerate people you do not have to have formal rules anyway.

As has been noted it is a small minority that spoil things for the rest of us. Treading in dog poo does give me serious sense of humour failure…

Diereliefhebber, maar ongelukkig is geen hond social genoeg om vreedsaam tussen vreemde mense of omgewing in te pas nie (party kinders ook nie). Dalk is daar plekke met omheimde kamp staanplekke vir individuele waens en honde ?

Dan het jy seker nog nooit 'n persoon met 'n gidshond ontmoet nie.

Ek gaan kamp met myne, selfs waar wild tussen die woonwaens loop en hy sal nie eers vir hulle blaf nie.

Dit hang net af hoe goed die honde opgelei is. Selfde maar met kinders.....hang van hul opvoeding af.  Ek kan hierby ook sommige volwassenes insluit.

Net my 5c mening.

Beslis n uitsondering, het vergeet van spesiale gidshonde, jy is geseend en ek glo julle waardeer en vertrou mekaar ten volle.  

Ons was laasjaar by n oord waar mense hul hondjie met n ketting aan A-frame van karavaan vasmaak met n bakkie water onder die karavaan. Daar los hulle die arme hond terwyl hulle heeldag by die swembad rond hang. Die hond het later begin tjank. Dan vertel hulle op social media hoe lief is hulle vir hul honde kinders en wil nie sonder hulle kamp nie. Dis wreed
