I see owners walking their pets and starting to walk away without doing cleanup. I keep a couple of grocery sacks in my pocket and walk over to them and say "here, this will save you a trip to gt a bag". After that they seem to remember to clean up.

Also, there was a man that I was continually reminding to put his dog on a leash and clean up behind it but he never did. Finally one day I saw him let the dog out and it went immediately to a neighbors campsite and pooped right beside the mans truck door. I got paper and went and picked up the poop and placed it by the dog owners truck door. Of course he stepped in it but....funny thing....he started doing his own clean up after that. Yes, I know that wasn't the recommended "nice" thing for a manager to do but after weeks of talking to the guy I knew it would take something a bit drastic to get through to him and it did.

Here, here! After stepping in dog poop twice in two days at two different parks and getting on my water hose and electrical, I am fed up with irresponsible dog owners. If you are unable to manage your pet then you shouldn't own one.

It helps to have your eyes open when walking! If you cant, heaven forbid you step on some wild animal droppings!

I have now read most of these posts. Most of those individuals who dislike dogs do so because.
1. Noise
2. Poop
3. Unleashed pets
I must admit these are irritations to me also BUT a decent dog owner can and should alleviate most of these anxieties. I’m sorry you don’t like dogs procarver or others, as you are missing out on some beautiful times. I’m sorry because you are in for some lonely episodes in your life and you don't know it. I’ve been to nursing homes where a visit from a dog (or other therapy animal) is the highlight of the day – to see the joy and relaxation from the residents which confirms the value of touch and love.

HOWEVER you don’t have to dislike the dogs -- it’s the stupid owners who think they have the right to infringe on others. Yes, I too find those that hop out of their rig and start putting up numerous X-Pens cause my ire to rise. Those are the people who need to park down the road and down in the holler. (if there is an outback to the park – put them there). Number of dog limitation rules are acceptable. Breed restrictions are not remember it's the owner -- not the dog. So how do we identify STUPID people?

I have found that dogs are more honest than humans. They don’t lie, they don’t cheat and they don’t care what you think. They don’t care if they are in a $300,000 rig or a $30 tent as long as they are with their human. They do steal tho (esp if it is a bone).

My dog is my psychiatrist. He is non-confrontational, listens to my aggravations, sorrows and provides unconditional love AND the best part of it – it’s all free.

Now if you want to talk about kids in the campground I’ll make you a deal. I’ll muzzle my dog if you muzzle your kid. I’ll make sure my dog stays on it’s lease and doesn’t poop but in specific area and I’ll pick up after it IF you keep your kid on a leash – or at least out of my space and off of my car. I promise not to approach your kid even if you wanted and please keep your kid away from my dog. I’ve seen kids cheat, steal, break other’s property and then lie about it. So whose companion is better behaved? Not all children are poorly behaved as well as not all dogs are poorly trained or supervised.

We are all entitled to our own opinions. The answer is moderation and consideration.
