I've never seen inside or outside spelled out in any campground rules. Unattended means unattended.

NY_Dutch said:Try asking the park management to clarify the rule. Every time I did that the answer was always the same, "Unattended outside". With around 50% of RV'ers having pets on board, most parks are not going out of their way to make things more difficult than necessary for their guests.
NY_Dutch said:Most parks that have a "No unattended pets" rule only apply it to pets left outside the RV, not inside, if you ask them. The few that don't allow unattended pets inside or outside, usually spell that out in the rules. In many years of RV'ing, the only park I recall having such a rule was on Cape Cod, and we chose not to stay there. I have heard of a few others, although they're not the norm by any means.
What is "wrong, inconsiderate, and unsafe" about leaving a well behaved dog at "home" for a few hours? I assume you're not a fulltime RV'er, so do you ever leave your dog at home in your sticks and bricks for a few hours? Is that really any different than leaving it in your home on wheels?

Pugapooh said:I've found that CGs clarify "outside". Pets are very popular and people want to bring Fido along. But they want to go use the amenities or site see a bit. Who would want to spend their whole vacation stuck in the rv?
No need to split hairs over what "unallended" means.
FenderP said:Dutch, please forgive me for being brash. There has been many times when I wake up at 0800 and the neighbors are gone and their dogs are yappin. 2000 and still no people. Twelve hours, man and those poor dogs need to potty and walk and just companionship. It?s just wrong and I believe why the parks say no ?UNATTENDED? pets. I get the feeling you ain?t those people, but because of them the rest of us have to pay. Get what I?m saying? I?m sorry for being a bit of a jerk. I love my dog and hope others do to. It sucks to see pets neglected.

Rene T said:I'd say you may be part of the problem. You should have contacted the CG at 0805 if there was a barking dog and the owners were gone for the day. You don't have to put up with it. If the CG isn't aware of it, they can't fix it. The dog owner will continue to get away with it if no one says anything. If the CG turns a blind eye, then don't go back. It only takes one irresponsible camper with out of control pet to make the responsible pet owners take the heat.
