B's on vacation in a camper?

Behavioral Issues
  • We have two sisters, Lela and Binti, and they travel well in a car - no car sickness, lots of sleeping and looking out the window.
    We are thinking about buying a camper for our vacationing, and wonder if any of you have experiences to share, do's and don'ts.
    L+B can always be off-leash in our fenced garden; can B's lie calmly on a leash by a camper/tent?

    I would say "that depends". You would certainly need to be close by to supervise, and if you aren't watching all the time the leash would need to be something they can't chew through! Like so many things, it depends on the dog. Some will adapt quickly, some won't at all…..

  • A lot of people who show have campers. Saves on the hotels when you travel to shows. They often set up several x-pens with tops for their B's.
    We are looking into getting a camper ourselves. :)

  • I highly recommend an x-pen with a top of some kind. That is what my friend and I used when we traveled in an RV to dog events. The dogs would love to lay in the sun and watch what was going on around them.

  • We camp a lot with the dogs. We have two x-pens set up outside of the camper for the dogs with two camp chairs in there…..you know that they can't lay on the ground right?..... If we can't put up x-pens for some reason then we have two cables for them that are made of wire with the red nylon coating on them. Those work as well but the easily become tangled if they are too close to each other.

    It true that many dogs give signals humans miss. Its amazing when I go over to see someone about their bad basenji, how I watch them much closer than the family does. I think it just comes from most folks not knowing what to see. Hopefully, someone can come over and help you. It would so be worth the $$

    Seems like Tuck was just having a couple bad days with all of the small changes that seem so insignificant to the humans… I guess me coming back from vacation, having someone other than his walker walk him for a week and then changing back to the regular walker the next had him in a tizzy. He's not peeing anymore. I also strip tested him for several days during a week and the indicator never changed color, so I'm guessing I can rule out Fanconi for now, which would, of course, be the most extreme reaction from an overprotective parent. :)
