What is a dog garden? Do they grow dogs?
What a whammy of a first post by a new poster.

Do you mean dog walk?....

My guess is OP means the enclosure type of thing - somewhat like a windbreak? Doggy playpen? There are some made especially to be dog proof. I have seen them in the caravan park at the Bakewell Show excellent things - and as long as they fit within the
area of your pitch I don't see why not. BUT I don't think they should be used for dog toileting!0 -
sorry should have given more information a dog garden is like a large windbreak you put round your caravan, a bit like an awning without a roof to enclose you dogs in it would never be used for "toilet" just to give the dogs an outside area without being
tied. it comes from dog agility shows to give the dogs more freedom and as said earlier resembles a large windbreak0 -
Welcome Sinclair
just harmless banter.Personally I don't use one as I only have the one dog and rarely on site other than at nightime, but have seen them on sites and seems to allow a bit of freedom as long as it's secure and they are not a noise nuisance.

I think you'll find it's been discussed in Caravanning with Dogs - the sticky thread within UK sites.
I believe dogs are supposed to be on leads/tethered at all times and the use of such enclosures would need to maintain the specified spacing around units and could well be at the discretion of the warden.
The original post in the thread I referred to contains links to the literature and rules about dogs on sites.

Thanks, Sinclair. I think there was a photo of something similar to this in the Club magazine, in the "Tail lights" feature. It was a couple of months or so ago, so assume it's OK.

As long as the dog(s) are still on a lead and under the full control of the owner, so as to comply with the clubs rules regarding dogs on site I cant see a problem.

I think my Cockapoo (Meg) would think she was in prison if she couldn't see out. She likes to be outside the van (tethered) - usually when we are on CLs - just watching the world go by.

I agree with you about the dogs enjoying watching the world go by.
It is quite difficult to stop dogs getting out under the caravan - although
maybe these dog garden things have thought of that. Long ago we left dogs tethered in the awning and they squeezed out - very embarrassing when we returned and found them! Luckily no complaints to the CC.0 -
Dog Gardens - Umm Yes Please
!!!Sounds like a good place to sit and while away our dog-days, admiring the dog-roses and dog-daisy’s sheltered from the breeze by a dog-wood hedge
.Sorry!! - Just practicing my escapism therapy technique
Ah-well back to reality.

Friends of ours have a dog enclosure which is made up from strong wire mesh panels. They can configure the panels to vary the size or shape of the enclosure depending on pitch size. One of the panels contains a gate for ease of access. They use it on Club
sites all the time and to my knowledge have never had a problem.They have 3 cocker spaniels who haven't escaped

I cannot see a problem with this, unless people don't add this on to a full sized awning and extend closer to the next pitch. We use a kampa air awning that also have flyscreen doors and our two dogs stand looking out at the world, but they like it better
outside on there beds, but on leads of course.0
