Irresponsible dog owners

Very intuitive and well presented post Indoors. 

 As I've always said it's not the dog's fault if their Lazy and Incompetent owners don't train their pets to ensure that they will behave properly on a campsite  ( good owners always ensure that they control their dogs at all times ) It's those owners who are allowing their dog or dogs to behave in an antisocial way, who spoil it for everyone.  It's not the dogs's fault,, it's always the fault of the anti-social owner. 

Those bad owners who allow their dog/s to spoil the campsite or other Caravanners' holiday, should be immediately ejected from the site and their details reported by the warden to head office.- ---No If's or But's. 

It's time that positive action be taken on the subject.

So you don't think it's a problem ! right on.

None so blind as they that will not listen.

Do you read posts before hitting the keyboard, do you digest what other concerned people are quoting, do you condone the fact that there are out there people that don't give toss.

A post on the " other " channel, many others seem to be more than concerned.

" There must be very few people who actually do not like dogs. I am sat on Conkers C&CC site and only yesterday have had three units turn up within 50 yds of us with six dogs between them. All on arrival allowed their dogs to run straight to where ever it wished to do whatever it wished. We'd very much like to give a home to a dog but our lifestyle just would not be fair on the dog. It's the owners of dogs on site that are the problem. As for people complaining of lack of this and lack of that on sites, remember the six P's.

We don't much like noise and bright lights so we don't go to Blackpool and the like ( no disrespect to people who do ) so spend more weekends in the Peaks or Cotswold type parks.

NB: Yet another just pulled in and another dog let straight out of the car whilst owners turn their backs and pretend not to notice the obvious. I'm begining to think we should ban dog owners from sites or indeed as with adult only sites, sites that don't allow dogs.  " Friendly Club " I don't find it friendly to be so discourteous to fellow campers as some obviously are.

Indoors, you must be anxious to keep this thread going, cutting and pasting from another forum. Is it just coincidence that this thread and the C&CC one both started on the same day? 

This copy simply repeats what responsible dog owners have already said, it's down to those who don't care about others. I know a minority of owners don't clear up, that's obvious from the few sites we have used that have a dog area. I even trod in some walking to reception whilst at Culloden. We tend to stay on sites with off-site walking. Culloden is one of those but you can't blame the dog if the owner is too lazy to use it. I have recently stayed on one of the other clubs sites which has a disused road as a dog area. I can honestly say that there was no mess left though quite a few dogs on site as well as my two.

I like to see well behaved dogs and their owners. I have had two dogs, neither from a pup although I had known the Alsatian bitch from being a pup as it was my fathers dog and came to live with me at a few years of age due to my fathers health problems. The Labrador dog I had from just under 3 years of age. The Lab was beautifully trained. The Alsatian was not and I had to work with her but she had always been biddable. I never used dog walks with either as I preferred to either walk them off site or take them out in the car if no suitable walks on site. 

I have on numerous occasions seen dogs let out of caravans/motorhomes to relieve themselves whilst the owners are apparently not yet dressed for the day. I see owners walking dogs on site with 15 feet of extending lead being used. Owner on one side of a site track and dog on grass area on the other side. I see (particularly at evening in winter) dogs being walked on site to perform and usually picked up after. Had my ankles trapped by the odd lead. Not how would have acted but can't say that I get too excited about it. Perhaps I should? 

Occasionally I observe dogs that seem not to be taken off site at all. Of course that is an impression that might be totally wrong. A couple of years ago in late December I was next to an outfit with four or five beautiful Staffies. They seemed to be left in their crates on site and never taken more than 50 yards from pitch despite being at Southport with plenty of off site walks to hand. I felt sad for them.

Ive seen the same post , where this as come from , I believe one poster as been reported for their views on c&cc dog owning members.

Talk about  irresponsible  dog owners , what of irresponsible posters who continually come up with the same old biased anti canine clap trap 😢

Page one, post four. Anyone who is using language such as "braindeads" about any section of a community is not offering a lucid, well reasoned approach to debating a subject. 

I am quite prepared to discuss the reasons why I enjoy touring with dogs, I am quite prepared to agree at how annoyed I am when I see a tiny minority of dog owners whose behaviour and thoughtlessness may momentarily spoil either my holiday or that of other decent folks on site. I am also prepared to offer my personal thoughts around the Club not being hard enough on those dog owners who are caught being dirty or selfish.

But asking me to justify why I have chosen a lifestyle that includes a dog, to be called to task about why I need more than one dog in my life, is starting to feel like a form of discrimination. Gone mostly are the days thank goodness when decent human beings were bullied about the colour of their skin, who they chose as a life partner, which form of worship they preferred, but it appears that the new kicking posts are dog owners. And it hurts, it feels like bullying, it does in some responses sound like bullying. I have full respect for those who don't want a dog as part of their lives, you shouldn't be inconvenienced or put out or in any way by those of us who do. 

All sections of a community have a small minority who let their peer group down. Some drink to excess, some don't give their children a decent upbringing, some take drugs, some don't drive safely. Respect in all walks of life has been diluted. But using terms such as braindeads doesn't help.

I was slightly suspicious when this thread appeared so soon after a similar thread was closed. If it is on the agenda of anyone to up the anti towards dog owners then this is a further example of what might be happening.

Good post indoors this happens all the time , have you noticed how many walk there little angels under cover of darkness.!!

Have you ever stopped to think that they go out last thing at night because they need to go?  It doesn't mean they are out in the dark to not be seen breaking the rules. 

It's post like yours IMO that start arguments between the two groups.

Just saying

I'm not going to defend myself because I don't need to but I will explain a couple of things that non owners don't seem to understand. I don't walk my dog off site because he is 13 yrs old and can't walk far hence he doesn't come out with us all day as he is too busy sleeping.  I walk him in the dark as most dogs have a walk before their owner goes to bed and guess what... it's dark!!!

Not getting at you Lady. I do not consider it appropriate to intentionally toilet a dog on site. However  can fully understand your reasons and maybe the more so as you may not have convenient transport. I have no intention to upset you however. No doubt many would deem such practice OK as long as the dogs are picked up after. We all have differing views on such things.

I thought remoaners were....

never mind.
