All my dogs have camped and all have loved it. They usually get so tired during the day that they just crash out at night. When we've been out all day and half the evening, we let them out of the car and they both go straight in the tent and collapse on the bed.

I always take care that the zips are closed so that the join is out of dog reach. Every dog I've had has sussed out that they can poke their snouts on the join and wiggle it about until they have made an opening big enough to escape through early in the morning.

Thanks for all of your advice. We had a brilliant time...they put us in a field on the edge of the site with a big hay field in the middle so she was out and up the hill every morning. SHe must have had at least 6 walks a day and one or two being pretty epic journeys. She swam in the sea and sniffed loads of other doggys along the way.
Definitely came out of her shell this week, even heard a bark from her in her dreams.
She didn't like me disappearing though. Chewed through the cord leaad twice to come and find me. that has since been changed!

we took our dog soon after rescue, he didn't settle very well the first night he was up listening every time he heard a zip go outside but sfter that he was brilliant and never stirred when I got up to go out to the loo in the night. In the day the trick for us was stking him close enough to feel he was still able to feel he was fully with us but not so close he wrapped hims6lef around all the chairs
