Holidaying with Dogs

We have been using CAMC sites extensively since 2005 and I can only remember a couple of times where we have had a real cause for complaint and we resolved those ourselves. OK you get the occasional escape attempt, one that’s prone to bark a bit more than others, however in general nothing significant. What I would ban on site is those extending leads, particularly the fine wire variety that you can’t see. They are just dangerous. I suppose in a way they are currently banned, as the regs specify a 2 meter lead, but this does not stop there extensive use.

 I think several people posting on here should re-read what Rowena posted almost 12 months ago as you are doing exactly the opposite of what Rowena requested.

I did speak with the wardens and they were aware of it they told me the club had no limit on the number of dogs someone can bring also in my experience west highland terriers are notorious for yappers, as I understand there is a club leaflet on guidelines for dog owners on site that should be given to the owner on check-in I have never been asked if I have a dog, I am not a dog hater or attacking dog owners and I think any reasonable person would think 5 dogs for one unit is too many, there should be a sensible discussion to be had without all the outcry.9

Three separate sites I have spoken to wardens about dog transgressions and each time was told “ unless I see it ,I can’t do anything about it” , so now I don’t bother , 

The wardens were correct in that there is no limit to the number of dogs per unit. However, the dogs in question were causing an annoyance and that is the crux of the matter. The warden failed by not addressing that issue and you therefore have grounds for making a complaint to CAMC as per Ro’s OP. As she said, this thread is not the place to complain.

" ... I think any reasonable person would think 5 dogs for one unit is too many,"

We were staying at Chatsworth one year when a chap got out of a MH each morning with 5 husky type dogs, attached them to what looked like one of those wide belts that weightlifters use, and went off walking with them - the dogs were clearly well trained, no pulling,  no barking, couldn't be better behaved. On the same stay, just opposite to us a couple decided to go off cycling for the day and left their one dog in the van where it howled and howled all day - so much so that I went to let the wardens know that the dog was clearly distressed. In the evening the warden came over to have, shall we say,  a full and frank exchange of views with this couple who were packed up and gone very early the following morning. So, no, although I wouldn't dream of having 5 dogs with me myself, especially in such confined quarters, I don't think you can make a blanket statement like that. I think "any reasonable person" would probably prefer to be pitched up next to those 5 dogs than next to 1 badly behaved or 1 being left unattended.
