We have spent the last two winters at a RV resort in Yuma. For some reason, last year we had more snowbirds then the year before whom RV with 2-3 dogs (mostly small ones) but walk them (or shall I say, the dogs walk them) with extension dog leashes; and they failed to keep them on a shorter leash. The park does have a lengthy dog walk, but this occurred on the way to the dog walk.
One lady walked three daschunds at the same time and she let them urinate on the front part of my site and my front tire covers 3-4 times. Finally, I politely confronted her about it, and she did not say anything in response, but if looks could kill, well, I would not be posting this now. Anyways, to make a long story longer, a few similar isolated instances occurred with single dog owners. I'm not the type to run to park mgmt. over every little thing, so halfway through last season I bought Repel II Dog Repellant granules and spread them generously over the front of my site. Result: No Problemo! Works great in small areas, like the front of my back-in site. BTW, I like dogs, don't own any. Repel II available at Wal-Marts or Petco. |

And for those of us that are responsible dog owners that happen to get the site after you - what happens to my dog now that we are in a site full of this? Do you clean up the repellant before you leave? Again, it's just like someone said in another post when someone mentioned a walker letting their dog go on someone's cooler - he said if that happened to him, he would drop kick the dog. You are punishing the dogs, not the irresponsible owners. |

You are punishing the dogs, not the irresponsible owners. Self-admitted, responsible dog owners, like yourself, are to be commended. Granules are to be lightly sprinkled, not piled onto the ground. They become inert/inactive/ineffective after one week of application. Dousing with water speeds up that process, which I do at my Yuma site before I leave, as it rarely rains there. I also stay at my Yuma retreat for 4-5 months every winter, and reserve the same site every winter season for the past 2 years and am headin' there again this winter. I never have, or would use 'Repellant II' at short term sites. Your accusation of dog punishing, comparing what I'm doing to kickin' dogs is just, well,...... wrong. |

I didn't intend for you to be compared to kicking a dog, just that the dogs were being punished for stupid owners. |
