Hi

[Joe Root]

Hello All --

We are new to the Forum and almost new to RV'ing -- we have had the Minnie about a year and use it mostly for dog agility trials.

The family includes three agility heroes, one agility handler and one Agility Support Spouse, useful primarily for heavy lifting.

Glad to be here, and see you on the road!

Welcome to the RV Forum!  Where do you transport your dogs in your coach and what kind are they?

Hi Steve --

Thanks for the welcome!

We have two bichon frises (or, if I were a better French speaker, bichons frises) and a sheltie.  We have been putting them in their crates for all trips, but we are experimenting with allowing the two more dependable dogs to be loose, as they tend to go under the single bed (the folded-down table) and stay there.

There is a lot of diversity of opinion on this topic within the dog community, I know.  We are trying to find a balance between safety and the dogs' comfort, which isn't easy.

Anybody have thoughts?

Thanks,

Joe, Natalie and the 3R's
Rufus, Roxanna and Reggie

Shelties are very intelligent as I recall, and bichon's are just cute!  Do the bichon's participate in the agility exercises as well?  Any chance you might have pictures to share?  Our Forum software has the capability of attaching photos to a Forum posting  under  Additional Options at the bottom left of the message composition box.

Your bichons would have a similar appearance to my polar bear cub!!
