Inconsiderate Dog owners

I know for sure if the club started to charge £5 a night per dog as suggested in an earlier post I would stop using their locations.

Most stays I do are 5 nights or more so an extra £50 in fees for having my two dogs with me would be unacceptable. 

I like to think though that this would never happen and I also feel the issues raised on here are isolated ones. The last site I was at (Fairlight Wood) had at least 20 dogs if not more staying, one couple had four grey hounds. apart from the odd bark there was no problem at all.

The smoke form people  lighting BBQ's was more of a nuisance really but just because I didn't have one didn't make feel I had to complain about it.  

 

I don't think charging for dogs at sites in the UK would make any difference - dog owners would pay up.

My neighbour here in Cornwall is taking two dogs for a first visit to France. So two pet passports plus injections was £400. Tunnel fares for two dogs £72 return. Extra fuel from Cornwall to Folkestone and back because the dogs wouldn't like the Plymouth ferry £80 . Three weeks at French campsites which do charge for dogs in July £80 , and vet inspection charges before they come back, another £80.

Something over £700 for the holiday. Money no object. And I was the one who persuaded him to go ! 

This is a subject (charging for dogs) that will go round and round in circles(chasing it's tail), some members will be willing to pay if it was introduced, and those that wont pay

A bit more understanding on both sides would help . Fact ,a dog will bark ,but a dog that constantly barks needs stopping, and even I would find that anoying

How about a minimum £5  a night charge for kids. 

 

Some sites, like Chatsworth already charge £4.90 at most peak times, so near enough.

And some only charge £1.

The club isn't going to penalise dog owners any time soon as I believe about 70% of members are dog owner.  The vast majority of dog owners are responsible people who acknowledge that their neighbours don't want to constantly hear their dogs or loud music.  Unfortunately like most walks of life there are some that don't care so if your stuck by them, the answer is go and have a word with the warden about them. 

 

There are a few CL's around that are dog free

Seems about right, if you want to encourage the next generation, as they claim.👍

What on earth has that got to do with inconsiderate dog owners or charging for dogs on site.
