I think our dogs by breed like to be on trails, they would be half way to Calgary if we let them go though so they're always on leashes.
We are going to try a couple of trips with them to see how well it goes. Neither one of us wants to consider leaving them alone in the trailer but we will try it in small steps like maybe a walk around the RV park without them just to see what they do. Dachshunds are really hounds and they can howl like one when they are alone and we'd like to keep our RV neighbours happy too. Thanks for your information. |

We've always been able to leave Paige alone in our house for long periods of time without any problems. As far as I know she just sleeps. We weren't sure about leaving her alone in the r-pod because it's new to her. We "broke her in" by putting her in the pod when it was parked at home. We increased the length of time we left her alone in the pod until we were up to a couple of hours. Never a peep from her. We sneaked up on her a couple of times and watched her through the window. Every time we looked she was sleeping like a log. Then we started leaving her alone for short periods while we were at campgrounds.
On our trip the past week, we left her for 6-1/2 hours. We left the A/C on and she had plenty of water. We also left the TV on for her entertainment pleasure. Our campsite was directly across from the office (KOA Kampground) so before we left, we told the manager we were going off for awhile and gave her our cell phone number in case Paige started barking. The manager promised to keep an eye on her. When we came back, Paige was sound asleep in the spot she's claimed as hers in the trailer (streetside dinette cushion). The manager said she never made a peep the entire time we were gone. She did insist on a trip to the Dog Walk area right away (Paige, not the manager ).

Hi Steve, I guess I never thought about trying them out here first and street noise may be just enough. Hopefully we can also "sneak" up on them they have good dog-dar but we'll get some reaction for sure.
Lucky for Paige to have a quiet campground manager close by too! |
