Some people should not own dogs. Their dogs actually own them.
Saw that just yesterday at the vet’s office!!
Exactly 💯 true 👍🏼👍🏼 People will very often treat animals better than other people and definitely put guilt trips on people if they don't worship animals as they do.
Boy I am so glad you clarified that it's the OWNERS.
Always the owner’s responsibility
We own a camp ground in East Texas. We allow all breeds, but we do not allow vicious dogs. Also, we have all dog owners sign a form that holds us harmless and explains if your dog attacks, it is between you and the other guest. Also, we do not allow excessive barking. Dogs must be on leash. This has worked for us and thank God we have never had an experience like you all have had.
Thank you! As a pittie mom I really appreciate this. She’s the friendliest sweetest dog ever
I agree with everything you said...but...the owners should be leashed to their do also! Some owners can't even keep control of their dog!
Hopefully you'll open a campground where no pets are allowed. For Humans Only 🙏🏼
@@lorialbrecht6792just please don't push your pet fetish on other people. Keep it to yourself. Thank you
@@Hundert1 excuse you? Just because I own a pitbull I have a “fetish”? How about you keep your prejudice to yourself.
I remember when Skippy was attacked. It was the owner's fault for sure, but it's you and Skippy who are scarred for life.
Yes! I remember that also. Awful🥵
Your statement that its the people and not the dogs fault typically made me really happy to hear since a lot of people don’t seem to understand that and WHATS their responsibility in the whole dynamic !
I have to disagree. I have studied the subject extensively, and most often you are correct.
But there are plenty of times that a nice family or person aquires a dog, and treat them well. Then suddenly out of nowhere the dog (usually a pit bull) snaps and attacks a child or another dog.
@@chriswhite2151 well so far i have 14 likes. ?!?!?
My dog 🐕 would be a prime candidate if suddenly snapping and attacking were going to happen. She was on a shelter, and it was obvious to me that she’d been treated badly. Before the shelter. Even when attacked she was still not vicious, just keeping the other pit bull away from me and keeping her neck clear of the other dog’s teeth. Her fangs look like they have been filed, making me wonder about her history. But point taken. And I keep her away from kids. She likes meeting adults but is wary about kids and other dogs
I live in the Atlanta, Georgia area. I been fortunate enough to own 168 acres down south Georgia. Right now it’s just a camping/hunting property. I hope in the next 5-10 years to turn it into a RV campground. I am debating if I will allowed dogs or not. First the insurance will be almost twice as much if I allowed dogs on the property. I don’t want the liability of dog biting another guest. After talking to multiple RV campground employees they said that the biggest complaint they get is people dogs barking all day long or early in the morning. So I don’t want my guest to feel uncomfortable because someone’s dog.
I'll always remember when you told us the Skippy experience. Thanks for sharing this. I totally agree with you. Bless you guys.
Thunder Canyon just moved to the top of my list of safe campgrounds to stay at. Grazie. Che Dio Ti Benedica.
YES!! We are a great & safe place !
Love love love it there!❤️❤️❤️
So true about the pits. I lost my dachshund when a pit came out of no where and disemboweled my Chloe girl that was leashed. She literally died in my bloodied arms. Owner wouldn't take responsibility. Said my doxie barked at the pit which caused the attack which was untrue. Animal control did absolutely nothing. Still can't get this unprovoked attack out of my head. Sad.
How awful 😢 So sorry you had to go through that. I'm sorry you lost your furr-baby.
So sorry!!!!
File the lawsuit
So sorry to hear this about your fur baby 😢
Oh, I am so Sorry for your loss!! It had to be Terrible!
My wife and I were attacked by a Pit Bull several weeks ago while on a walk. He acted CRAZY
So sorry!!
Sorry you guys are going through this. You are 100% correct.
I witnessed a dog attack in Arizona 2 years ago in a campground that I will never forget. There was a woman in class B van camping with a pit bull. This dog was very protective, barking and growling at everyone it would see. The dog got away from her and killed another camper's dog then went after their kids. The mother intervened and got bitten by the dog. The father grabbed a shotgun from the camper and killed the pit bull. It was a horrific scene. It was a remote state park. It took 45 minutes before the ambulance and the state police to arrive. I had to give a witness statement and was called to testify in criminal court. There still is a civil lawsuit pending. The owner of the pit bull accused the victims of harassing her dog and it was their fault. It is the owner of the pit bull fault. In my opinion she didn't train the dog properly or failed to acknowledge she had a dangerous dog that should have not been out in a public area like a campground. I know people love their dogs like family. But just like it's not appropriate to bring a child to certain places the same holds true for your dog.
Too many horror stories like this.
One point I disagree with pit bulls are a dangerous breed. But the responsibility falls on the owner
@@billyjohnson9166Exactly!! I have found little dogs like dachshund have the most attack tendencies & nasty bites!!
One rescue is part dachshund & golden, she is loud and snarly though TRAINED !
We also have a boxer mix…I mean MIX… (often wonder what else is in the mix of this rescue) we have trained her and in no way would we subject people to an untrained dog.
@billyjohnson9166 People just don't want to accept that certain types of dogs have a tendency to be more aggressive. It's in their nature. Any good and honest dog trainer will tell you if you ask them. Yes, you can train a pit bull to be less aggressive, but bottom line, it's still hardwired into certain types of dogs. I am not saying ban some dogs, but know what you're getting into. A lot of pit bull owners get them because it's the cool thing to do. It's cool till your sweetheart dog kills another animal or a person.
@@billyjohnson9166 Liars figure, but figures don't lie. There's a reason why insurance companies will NOT cover any damage done by certain dog breads such as Pit Bulls and Rottweilers. Certain breads of dogs are inherently more dangerous than others.
You ever hear a pit bull owner says my dog is so sweet he’d never hurt a fly until he attacks you and tears your arm off. I’m glad you have that rule no pit bulls. Safety first.
The problem is you have people getting types of dogs like pit bulls because it is cool to own one. Yet they know nothing about what breed of dog was meant for. Some dogs are working dogs, and you need to understand that. If you want a dog for around the house, get the appropriate dog.
@@billping2633 what is the pit bull appropriate for anything? What happens if a child walks by it will it attack the child?
I can’t wait to book with you BECAUSE of the rules and values you have! Thank you so much!
I live in a rental community. Certain breeds are restricted. But....the people in the rental office tell people to get an emotional support certificate, on the Internet. We are overrun with pitbulls, German shepherds, Rottweilers mostly Pitts. All of them are emotional support dogs! EMOTIONAL SUPPORT DOGS ARE NOT SERVICE DOGS!!!!!
Agree 100%! Our apartment community, same dang thing! We have 2 dogs: one weighs about 8 pounds, the other about 14 pounds. We have to scout the area before we potty our boys to make sure the coast is clear. It’s absolutely outrageous.
We applaud your stance. I know some people have pit bulls that are sweet and docile, but we ourselves have had our dog attacked by a pit bull in a van park. It was on a weak chain - broke it and went for our dog. The owners were apologetic but it spoiled it for us. We've noticed since that many parks now have rules about certain breeds.
All of those dogs should be banned from campgrounds and HOA communities!
ESAs are not Service dogs as ADA, but they are ESAs under another law (USDA Fair Housing) that does require landlords and rental properties to allow them under that rule as an ESA. Long term rentals for primary residence only though, not camping or short-term rentals.
But it is only lodging. ESAs do not have the same rights as Service dogs. They used to be protected on airlines too, but the FAA put end to that due to abuse.
This is crazy! As an owner of a dog who has been known to be unfriendly I could NEVER EVER imagine letting him off leash! Dog attacks are 100% traumatizing! My husband and I are planning on starting full time RV life in a few years and we've agreed on a Golden Retriever cause we would hate to be turned away at a campground. Also I said I wanted a dog I could lift if needed in case another dog went to attack lol! Thanks for sharing your stories!
I really enjoy your videos and honesty, showing us about all these issues. I do not blame you for excluding certain breeds. Many municipalities do too. I’m so thankful Sage was safe but sorry about your dog and chickens. That is horrific to see them being attacked. Remember how you said in previous videos how it is getting crazy and more dangerous? So now that you have a campground, you will have the crazies come to you instead of you to them. I have owned a rescue pit who was just a sweetheart. I have been cornered in my yard by a neighbor’s pit who was threatening me. I really thought it might be curtains for me that day. It really stinks that ppl are not required to show a DOT number for the service dog. Can’t blame you if you ban animals. I like the reply of the campground owner in Tx. Making the ppl sign a waiver taking responsibility of them. Maybe you can too.
Some people just suck . .
Thank you. Pit bulls are wired wrong and go berserk for no reason. I almost got taken down by one, 30 seconds after the owner said the classic line, "He's just a big baby." Then after she barely was able to hold him off, she said the other line, "Wow, he's never done that before." It's a big problem in the U.S. and more people need to start talking about it in a big way. The breed DOES matter, and the owner really can't do as much about it as they like to say they can. When was the last time a collie went nuts and shredded some kid's face unprovoked?
You have an atmosphere that you've created for all to enjoy. Respect for the campground rules makes for an enjoyable visit by all. I live in a rural area and a stray or loose dog is a concern. I never take a walk without some type of personal protection..
I will add; 2 of my dogs were ATD (therapy dog) endorsed & went with me to visit seniors in a nursing home. Part of the legal agreement was to Never ever try to pass them off as service dogs! They were not. They were specifically trained & vetted Only as ESAs for seniors under my strict control. I have called police on a couple trying to bring their large unruly dog into a grocery store claiming it was a service dog. Oh yeah they bought the vest online. It Was Not a service dog, which is Highly trained to the point they’ll ignore their own needs to care for & assist their charge. Those folks tried to have the police charge me for false accusations, pointing to the vest. I showed the officers how that “service dog” didn’t follow orders (a good service dog will take orders from anyone unless they might be harming their human because they are so strictly trained). Officers could see this dog was lunging/pulling/ refused to sit/stay etc & clear it wasn’t trained. These folks got cited for false accusations against me & for trying to pass an untrained pet as a service dog!! ;-)
It's always the hoomans
Always hoomans
Y'all are fine! You have to have rules when dealing with the public.
The people I'm camped beside have a big, brown dog named Skippy that doesn't bark. Nice dog. Nice folks.
❤️❤️❤️
The biggest problem no matter where one is ,Dog Poop not being picked up .
I always carry a small shocking device in my pocket. Just setting it off makes dogs and all animals jump back, dont need to even touch the animal. I dont know why, but animals freak out.
My wife and I visited your campground while you were not there. unfortunately we did not get a chance to meet. Beautiful campground, the atmosphere and the chickens. lol I am all in for the your rules about dogs. I had a close call at one RV park, now I take a walking stick with me.
Sorry we missed y’all! Hope you visit again soon. Thank you for coming
I know a women who was having dinner as a guest in someone's house . She was sitting at table dropped her fork bent under to get it an got bit right in the face by their pit bull!
Love Love Love this advice! Simba and I have always thought the same Mercedes and John ❤
Thank you Greg & Simba❤️
I dread it when I pull into a campsite and the people next to us have dogs, I hate it!
My dog Ellie was attacked by a small pit bull last year at a dog park. Ellie and the Pit were playing nicely until the Pit got near Ellie’s ball. Ellie snapped at the Pit to say stay away from my ball and the Pit when berserk. The Pit latched on to Ellie, but thankfully got only skin and fur. It went on for over a minute with Ellie going in circles refusing to go down. It was frightening, but the Pit did eventually let go. I was only focused on saving Ellie. I had no concern for myself.
We know what that feels like
Hey hey! Helpful topic. Happy travels!
Hey Tim
You are correct on all concerns. Sadly, many owners lie about their dogs being “service” dogs.
I think you guys are great, and I love seeing you stand up for freedom.
I have been working with Animals over 35 years.
You are correct that generally it’s the Pet parents who are at fault or the cause.
I spent 25 years boarding dogs in my home and I always had cats. I went through a screening process where the dog had to come in on leash so that I could test the dog to see if the dog was a good fit for the dogs and cats.
I realize you cannot do that people will be coming from out of the area.
It sounds like your property is not completely enclosed? For you to be able to have a trespasser somehow enter, I’m guessing that it’s not enclosed?
If you do have such a large property Something that could help incredibly for everyone would be to have some enclosed gated areas for dogs to play in like dog parks.
If dogs are only allowed on leash, the dog, that doesn’t have enough exercise will definitely be prone to more behavior, problems and more aggression and anxiety if they are not able to run free for the typical healthy dog.
If you really do have that much space, you could set up different dog park areas, and label them like 1) small or passive dogs, 2) potentially aggressive dogs, 3) dog park main play area.
Consider if a child was not allowed to run and play and was only able to walk or run a little bit attached to their parent, they would likely go nuts and start behaving poorly.
Whomever created leash laws, knew nothing about animal behavior.
I have also had many bad experiences with Pitbulls, but I have also seen and observed other similar aggressive breeds
It may help possibly to have a pet deposit for you and if there is no destruction or damage to anyone during the family stay, then they get the deposit returned.
But if they cause harm to anyone, etc., they lose their deposit, and risk potential lawsuit.
Other suggestions might be that if they or their dog harms anyone, they are completely responsible for all medical bills or any other damage.
I am very cautious of pitbull because of my experience. That being said, when animals get older, typically they can be less threatening, depending on the age and the animal.
A friend of mine had an old pitbull that was one of the sweetest things in the world, with all animals and people.
That is why I would not just ban one breed, because you can get Cane Corso, Akita, Staffordshire terriers, similar to Pitbulls, mastiffs, etc.
Therefore, it may be helpful to screen the people on the phone, ask them about their dogs and maybe be able to do a FaceTime type zoom meeting to see how their dog is with other dogs and people.
But no matter what, even if you approve, any animal coming in or any person coming in that causes harm or damage to any other animal or person or property, they should be held completely responsible for all costs, and if there is pain and suffering.
Really enjoy your Videos! Glad you are doing them again!
I agree!!!!!!
We're camping with our dog. He is never left unattended except for camp church and he's left in the camper. He ALWAYS on a leash that's connected to my chair when outside at the site. Never roaming free. We also make sure we pick up after our dog, so we carry baggies at all time. My pet peave is dog owners not picking up after their dogs. Our pup is just a 27 pound mix who has an issue with bike tires and golf carts. He barks and growls like he's going to eat them up. We're working with him and hope he'll soon get used to them.
Good for you!!!
Someone needs to say it
This is what brings about these rules, when there is a major problem. And the consideration is for all not just about some special person.
Jericho (my service dog) got attacked by a pit bull and luckily he survived however, i have had to retire him cuz he doesn’t act the same and can no longer do his job …due the fact he was a service dog he did not even try to fight back… it was horrible and traumatizing for the both of us
My caution of pits allowed me to get in the car before a group of pits just decided rush at my brother and I from across the street. And that's with the owner outside with them. If you get hurt, your somehow the bad person.
True, must look out for the whole, not just the one.
Having been mauled by a large dog when I was 6 years old (I still bear the scars) I am super supportive of your policy regarding pit bulls. We love to travel with our 11 pound Cavapoo, and consider her an indispensable part of our family. If a larger dog were to maul her, I don't know that we would ever recover, so I would be more inclined to patronize a park which bans aggressive dogs. Also, I am advised that some insurance companies are attempting to limit liability by demanding that parks ban pit bulls, as a condition of insuring the park. Banning aggressive dogs is thus not just a sound safety practice, it is good business.
I love pets, and have had them for over fifty years of my life. I also raised two children. But, I enjoy camping in southwest Florida where many campgrounds are for seniors over 55. Best part is there are no children or pets allowed. No kids crying or dogs barking. Yep, I pay a premium for this, but its worth every penny.
I’ve noticed as I’ve gotten older that more and more dogs are a nuisance than a gift. I used to love dogs. But now I cringe when they are around.
Same here!! I grew up with all kinds of animals. Now I'm an adult and totally love my freedom away from all that mess. The house no longer is nearly as dirty, too 😁
The little ones are the biggest nuisance. I had bruises for two weeks from a group of chihuahuas running loose, hanging on to my legs and biting harder when I was trying to get them off
And the expense!
@karenkelly1451 That's awful 😖 I'm so sorry this happened to you. We have similar lousy experiences. Whenever a dog comes near us, we swiftly kick it hard and sometimes carry pepper spray. We go running & hiking in parks for peaceful experiences not to be viciously barked at and/or charged at by people's dogs. There are leash law signs all over the park, yet so many of these dog people totally ignore them. Sadly, there's hardly any police or rangers around enforcing the law. Even if they have their animal on a leash, the trails are so narrow that it still could easily bite someone. Besides, the dog still will viciously bark at people, which hikers definitely don't appreciate, need, or deserve. And the pet owners don't even scold their dog to train it. They seem to actually want to push their dog upon others, not realizing that not all people want that experience. This is partially the result of all the commercials on TV promoting & pushing the viewers for having a dog hobby. Yet there are no commercials or programs on TV educating the public regarding how to keep their dog to themselves and how to keep them quiet. Best wishes for no more of that unpleasant animal experiences happening and a happy, fun summer season!! 🍉🌞⛱️🏊⛵️🛶🎾🎾
With our experience in rv parks when walking, our older golden retriever are the smaller breeds that people feel they don't need to be on a leash that come charging aggressively. Great Danes that we've encountered have been pretty passive. 1 pitty that was in a harness and leash came charging, and when it came to the end, it came out of the harness as it flipped, then froze before the owner came and got it. It does seem the smaller breeds that seem to be non-stop barkers have been the most aggressive when walking our dog. Wiener dogs seem to be the choice in Florida for rvers, and I consider a small breed. I've been bit twice in the back of the leg by that breed.
I have a chihuahua he goes camping, I keep him on a leash and he is always with me.i never let Finn around anyone.
Love chihuahua
@@RVOddCouple except constant barkers
We totally agree. Glad you are keeping it real..miss you..hope to see you soon..❤
Ever in Ottawa, Canada - you must visit us. YOu guys are awesome!!!
It is the people. I am allergic to most dogs and if I don't lavish attention on someone's dog as they think I should, I'm the bad guy. I love dogs, just can't be close to most of them and some people just don't understand.
I’m allergic to cats
@@RVOddCouple me too
The RV park/resort in Florida where I wintered last January had sites that were fenced for dogs. 14 ft gate open to allow you to back your rig in, close the gate & then it's safe for your dog to be loose at your rig. Each "dog site" had a very sturdy 5' chain link fence all around the site. Pretty cool!
What park was this?
It True It The Owner!!
Keep Smiling On!!
😂👍👊❤️
Thank you for posting this! I pray many campground owners will wake up and follow your lead.
For 30 years we loved camping with our kids, but always left our dogs at home (lab and shihtzu) because we wanted to enjoy our time with our kids and not have to worry about dog poop or potential barking, or worse getting attacked by an off leash dog.
We stopped camping last year because campgrounds are suddenly overrun with dogs! I hate taking our kids on walks or bike rides and having dogs bark, and worse lunge, even if on a chain. It’s terrifying. Campgrounds don’t seem to be for families anymore, but for “pet parents”
Do some googling online and see the attacks happening in campgrounds and basically everywhere else, the VAST majority are by pits and variations of pits. I fear for my kids and grandkids!!
:) WELL DONE and KUDOS for sharing! It is SO TRUE! Not the Dogs, BUT OWNERS that ARE the PROBLEMS! ALL the BEST and Cheers! :)
God I love your videos thanks so much.
When I used to travel. I figured out. That barking dogs can attract bears, and several other predators. So to this day, I do not have one. Lots of bears in the area. You are totally correct, it's the owners.
Always the owners responsibility
Im sorry Cade. 😮. Your good people. I honestly can't wait to get a rig & visit the both of you & the chickens. 🌈
Just FYI, it’s against Federal law to ask the owner of a service dog to have it perform its task to prove it’s a service dog.
I came here to say the same.
To John and Mercedes:
ADA.gov is your best resource for what you can and cannot ask an owner of a service dog. Those dogs cannot be expected to "perform" for you to prove their credentials, as if they are a circus act. How are you supposed to get a service dog to "perform" for you if it is trained to sense an epileptic seizure coming on Or a PTSD episode about to happen, unless those health issues actually happen in your presence??
Be very careful how you treat people with disabilities and their bona fide service dogs! The ADA WILL investigate.
And this is what an out of control Govt. looks like. It should be the exact opposite. Service dog owners should be required "BY" law to carry paperwork showing that the dog is in fact a service dog.
ADA allows people to train their own dogs and due to that there is no actual certification.. those with a “Certificate” are bought on line and are fake … my dog was professionally trained and had to go though lots of hoops before the trainer took him and then the only thing i got was his letter stating he trained jericho and my dr note stating i needed a service dog
Get a maze can or bear spray to take on walks or keep handy.
Oh my word - I’m so sorry you’ve been through this! It’s so simply avoided if peeps would just think and be considerate. 💯 it’s peeps. We were privileged to be visited by Charlie the rooster today 3 times! He’s such a hoot! Love camping at Thunder Canyon!
My assist cat sometimes drives my RV. His name is Toonces. He is not a good driver and my RV is all dented up.
No dogs onboard.
John and Mercedes i just back from a round trip from our hime here in Louisiana to our campground in langston mountain lakes. idler is a beautiful town we just past thru going to gatlinburg we hope to make a reservation to see ur beautiful homestead within next coming year
I understand BUT ... we are about to start are RV life and your camp was going to be the first stop so now we can't... your right it's the people not the dog because I've had to get a dog off my pity mix ... so please understand this is why we have to walk way from you to ... sorry ... God bless and good luck ...
Thank you. 👋😉.
"No Worries" as they say. Lol. I've been sued a couple times. Gods got us. ✌️😁. ❣️
A professional boxer has a weapon : his fists.
A pit bull has a weapon : his jaw .
It’s not so much what is between the ears … it’s the jaw … that jaw is capable of more damage . Deadly damage .
Great commentary…
Always the owners responsibility
Thank you kindly
Legally you are not allowed to ask to see the service performed. That's per the ADA.
My cat really enjoys camping. Unfortunately, he is an escape artist and occasionally gets past me when I open the door.
I have old dogs. They only go out to potty. They prefer to lay in the a/c with my elderly mom
Where are you guys? Love to visit you!
I'm so happy to hear ya'll are addressing this issue! I have a service dog. She is a 6 year old Border Collie. ESA are completely different. Alot of training goes I to having a Service dog trained. It becomes apparent pretty quick which is real and which is fake
Don't embarrass your dog by turning them into a phoney baloney "service dog"
When I was a kid I got bit by 2 dogs, and 2 dogs died.
What are the rules for cats?
No rules! Unless it’s a pitbull cat
Funny
I understand perfectly that pitbulls are dangerous. I was attacked by one luckily he just nipped my ankle. When I called the Sheriffs office about being bitten by the pit bull they sent a deputy out and it jumped up and almost grabbed the deputy by his arm but he managed to chase the dog away and he said he was getting ready to shoot the dog. Then my dog got into a fight with a pit bull when he accidentally got loose and went into someone's yard and he began barking and trying to sniff out the pit bull who was a female but she wasn't having it and grabbed onto him and he grabbed her in her mouth area and she didn't let go then someone finally came out of the house with a garden hose aimed it at the two dogs and broke them up my dog didn't get a scratch on him but the other dog had a few nicks in her mouth but she was okay. It's it's a very scary experience. I don't go for walks in the neighborhood anymore with my dog because my dog goes berserk when he sees another dog and doesn't get along with other dogs and he likes to chase squirrels and cats and he is big and strong but I always have him on a leash. I never leave him unsupervised if I have him on a cable and I when I have to take him to use the bathroom, I never take him too far from my apartment. My dog was a rescue dog and unfortunately has never really been socialized with other dogs but I'm trying to get him trained but training can be expensive and I cannot ever take him out in public because of the risk in encountering another dog. I'm not so concerned about them on a leash but I have to look out for those dogs that are not on a leash. I will never understand for the life of me why a handful of people who still refuse to have their dogs on the leash even after all the reports and statistics of dog attacks on the rise. Now I had an issue when I stayed at an RV park where the Park managers lived in the house in front of the RV park and their back yard was right next to the dog run and the managers wife would have an issue with dogs barking when she would have her dogs in her back yard during the same time I had my dog out and she had a full size poodle and a Chihuahua and a doberman and they would bark and lunge at my dog too and I would have to end up having to get out of the dog park fast. She also did that to my neighbor's as well but my neighbor told me that she thinks that the managers wife would purposely let her dogs out to cause a ruckus so she can have an excuse to pick on and evict the residents that she didn't like because she thought she was better than everybody else and thought us park residents were trashy. I love my dog but it's sad that I have to watch out for others and their dogs.
We used to take our lab camping; however, sold our camper when our girls played sports. Now that we have a Class C Motorhome, he's too old to get up the steep stairs and we now have a rat terrier that one of our daughters rescued - so we boarded them since the lab is older and the rat terrier barks consistently if in a new situation. Take care and we enjoy your information and show!! :)
I love watching your channel so much, probably because we think a lot alike. 😂. Spot on with the dog stories, we had our dog on a leash at one campground, and the camp host drove by in a golf cart with her dog, not on a leash and I was concerned the way it ran at our dog it wasn't going to be friendly. Funny thing the rules were no dogs off leash. Another camp ground a doberman broke away from its steak and attacked a couples dog that were walking by. Fortunately, the owner was able to separate them. As always, thanks for the video, and I promise we will make it out to Thunder Cayon soon.
I went to the website that is on animal planet and even there they say that a pit bull could be fine for over ten years and one day for no reason seen attack another dog or person.
Before even watching all of your video, I’m gonna comment. Total dog lover/owner here. Owned/raised/trained dogs all my life . . Some more amenable to training than others! lol. My dogs have “grown up” on camping. My issues have Always been with owners. Owners who don’t pick up after their dogs. Owners who let their dogs off leash (don’t tell me how friendly or well trained they are). Dogs who Might be friendly with their own family But are a terror menace to other people/dogs walking in the road. Agressive.. I had a perfectly sweet Australian Terrier puppy a few years ago that got freight trained by 2 lg GSDs dashing out of a camper one day, & the same thing happened 2 camps later from 2 other large dogs that just “wandered in” to our campsite & attacked the little guy. He was never the same & became very reactive to other dogs. After a year of professional training etc (lots of $$) I ended up having to rehome him to a breeder/AKC professional to have him appropriately placed on a farm setting. I was planning to show him as he was a beautiful specimen of a rare breed. I am sooo sick & tired of irresponsible owners & im a dog lover!!! Some dogs, & their owners, don’t belong camping.
Heck my dogs are terriers . . . But they were either leashed, confined in a crate or TALL outdoor pen, etc. otherwise they would be running rampant through the campground seeking movies OR chasing every vermin they saw. And they are command trained!! But I know natural instincts take over at times so I was always careful about that.
Same goes with people & their kids . . . Don’t even get me started on that one. Let’s just say there is a Huge difference between kids being kids & a little rowdy & being extremely disrespectful & even destructive of neighboring campers stuff. Nuff said!
We’re dog lovers as well
My Doberman and son were attacked by a chi-mix. It bit a little girl in the face the next day. But so many places will not allow a trained Doberman. They have a low bite ratio now and should be removed from the dangerous breed list.
That's why we always try our absolute best to find all the places that don't allow pets. We're not going camping to meet other people's pets. Far too many dog owners never observe the leash laws. The barking totally ruins the peace, and the odors from pets are disgusting. Sometimes, they'll be coming to our site to piss, poop 💩 and even steal our stuff. It really seems nowadays people give animals more rights than human beings. No one deserves to be assaulted, harassed, menaced, or terrorized by these inconsiderate, disrespectful types of people. It shouldn't be tolerated by our society, and we have every right to fully protect and defend ourselves from any dog that even gets close to us. For all we know, the dog's next move will be a bite.
As an owner of a pit baby, I make sure that my dog is an ambassador to the breed. I have camped for over 50 years and have seen many things. I had my pit bull walking on a lead and someone’s little dog come out of its camp site and bite my dog on the chest. My dog remained calm and did not attack the other dog even after she was bitten.
I compare people who band my dog without even meeting them prejudice people, and use their last name to a murder and rapist with the same last name. You would not like me accusing you of this just because your last name matched a murder and rapist.
The owners of the campgrounds my family and I go to use a case by case basis. If you have a dog that is aggressive, barking constantly you will be asked to leave immediately with no refund, no matter the breed.
I was thinking about coming to your campground, because I truly believe in GOD, Country and family, but now I cannot come. I respect that it your campground and I must obey your rules. I just totally and hold heartily disagree with your band on a specific breed! God bless you anyway as we agree to disagree.
It IS the people!! Thank you for stating that and right up front.
The dog, the breed, the size are irrelevant.
Service animals - 2 questions! Yes!!
As a work camper and campground maintenance manager I've experienced quiet Chihuahuas, loving Pit Bulls, well behaved Sheppard's, Doberman's and Rottweiler's. On the other hand I've had poodles, spaniels and Yorkies be the most obnoxious, rude and entitled varmints ever.
It is all about the training which boils down to THE OWNER. A pet is not a child. They're NOT furry babies.
One time I was parked in a parking lot of a camp.ground and I had my coach door opened and a dog rushed in.and tried to.snatch up my cats who ran out and away and it took all night to find him.the owner just kept walking ..I have 8 dogs and they are priority ..mostly I am not around people and or other dogs..
My two dogs are always leashed and muzzled when outside the RV. These are basket style muzzles that let them pant normally. That's because they are normal dogs who like to hunt. Anything.
We boondock way out in the middle of nowhere a majority of the time with our two Pits. On the road, we've encountered some creepy as*, boarderline mentally unstable people.. a couple of them appeared homeless wonderers and were packing side-arms ... Then you have the rowdy as*holes who come flying up to our camp in their 4X4s, half drunk just to see who we are.. and when I said WTF man, whats up coming in hot like that.. that's when their attidudes began.. getting out of their trucks... Enter Naked and Klaus (our Pits) who are extremely aggressive as my wife and I both have side-arms.. it's amazing how those dogs defuse a situation ...
I can only imagine if we were seniors in those same senerios.. we would have been statistics.. no doubt ...
I agree with you! I don’t know why some people let their dogs run loose. That is the most unresponsible thing a pet parent can do. I’ve always had big dogs, but I’m really afraid of any dogs with pit in their bloodline. Good job guys! So sorry to hear about your chickens.
best vids on you tube !
Agree wholeheartedly. It is both dogs & owners, not just owners. Even part Pits can be trouble. Owners do not own up to their dog’s’ eccentricities. I don’t know how you apply a doggie filter. My husband’s mini Daschund is ferocious too. Would you think that? Personally you need a swimming pool on your premises. I love you two as you both exude Jesus Christ in you. God bless you both in your new endeavor. ✝️ Sue in MI
That's awful. That's not right. Coming into the park without a reservation & letting big aggressive dogs run loose.
What really happened to those campers after the chicken incident? Were they told to never come back?
It's scary that most people train Pit-bulls to be dangerous with dog fighting too.
Stay safe & still wishing Skippy a wonderful recovery.
I am always upset when camper insist on having their dog off leash. Just because your dog is ok with it, doesn't mean that mine is. My dog does not like other dogs coming up on her.
Spot on about fault of the owner. Great Video.
Thank you for the video, well presented. I agree with all you said & it's been my experience that it is the owners, not just the dogs. I have traveled with my 2 dogs (Lab & Australian Kelpie) & they are always on a leash or a short tie out when we are at the camper. Barking, unless for security reasons (a stranger after dark), isn't allowed. I don't like incessant barking & don't believe anyone else should be disturbed by it either. Rules & manners make better & safer travel companions.
I camp in the south where it’s 100 degrees and humidity so I kinda like to walk my dog after dark, and kids do a lot of biking etc to after sunset, but thank you for keeping them on a short tie so I can tell pretty quick I’m not fixing to be in a dogfight.😊

It is the owners. My two are adopted and both were abused. As a result, I keep the dogs around me and limit their interaction with others. Owners need to take into account the temperament of their dog/dogs. As a testament to the chickens, I am amazed that my dogs won’t bark when the roosters are around. Folks, this is a beautiful campground with two great hosts. Even Charlie, one of the roosters, didn’t skip a beat when I changed to a different campsite and he was there the very first day at my new site to wake us up.
Alot of people get dogs an dont train them right,certain dogs are more dangerous,an that includes German shepherds,so are Cane Corsos allowed
People that go into a public park that ignore the leash regulations usually ignore the rest of the rules to. Some say but my dog won’t bite, the other guests don’t know your dog. My dog is very protective. She has NEVER been off leash, left unattended, or allowed to even bark at anyone or their pets. She is trained and I won’t have a dog I can’t control. I won’t stay in a park that doesn’t have a leash requirement, and I will report every time I see one running loose. If the park doesn’t enforce it, I won’t ever go back and I make sure to warn other campers in the reviews. If your pet is attacked on public property, call PD, get a police report filed and then file a lawsuit. It’s a fight worth fighting, before more and more parks just ban pets period. Even IF your dog doesn’t bite, everyone that sees it running loose will think they can to. At the end of the day, most folks that let their dogs run loose is so it will go poop in someone else’s site so they don’t have to pick up after it, and they are just to lazy to go walk it. Some fights are worth fighting and being able to take my baby camping without her being mauled by someone else’s dog is one.
How's the signal? Do you get good Wifi?
And pick up the dog poop 😅
Exactly!
