Katy the best thing I find to do is teach a dog to bark on command for which he gets a treat then you will find in the end they dont really bother to bark much unless asked to, so its hold a treat up, say speak and encourage him to bark if the dog obliges very quickly give the treat, if he barks without being asked to wait until he is quiet again then say speak again and treat quickly if he barks for you, it doesn't take them long to realise at all what you want from them, it takes a bit of patience to ignore the unwanted barking at first but with quiet persistence you will get there.

would not like to have paid for a weeks holiday to be set up next to someone with a load of dogs
Why not if they didnt bother you ?
Next time I find myself on a plot next to someone with les than 13 gcse's at grade c or above i'll be most dischuffed
It wouldnt bother me but hey.....I might be able to kick a thread off
anting to be next to people with great intellect is for entertainment value though right?
We recently set up at the same time as two teacher/boffin types. Obviously very well educated with kids who had names such as Giles and Harriet. Best laugh I ever had watching them spend two hours setting up a small tent, after spending an hour watching them unpack their gear in colour coded crates from the car first! We were set up in 30 minutes and enjoying a glass of wine, while they finally sat down to eat off a barbeque at midnight!
No offence to any highly educated types on here, I'm sure they were a one off.................................
well i went to scarborough this weekend 1st time on a c&cc sire i took 5 dogs and in a 3 night stay they did not even bark once were exercised on a lead in the dog walk always kept on a short lead,area cleaned up after and taken away from site quite alot got many comments that no one knew they were there. why should this bother anyone else? unbelievable!

The OP asked for opinions on whether we thought more than 2 dogs to a unit should be charged more on C & C C sites.
In my opinion, if they start charging at all for dogs they will lose some of my custom. I try to avoid sites which charge for dogs as to my mind dogs and camping go together, and I can't afford to be shelling out more of my hard-earned than necessary..
PS I only have two.

If you can't see the light at the end of the tunnel, just keep going till you go round the bend.
I rather think you miscounted them Botty. I think they are the same 6 dachunds that are near to us at present. They are extremely well behaved dogs and the couple take them 3 each onto the dog walk or into the woods very regularly. I have yet to hear them barking and they are ALWAYS on leads. I can't see your problem unless they were really annoying to you. I reckon our little westie is probably more problem as she barks at squirrels, rabbits and birds when she sees them and there are certainly plenty on this site. As for charging for them, are you suggesting the C&CC sites be like others and charge for awnings, dogs and every sort of extra?
No, they charge very fairly for the number of people on the pitch, extra if you want a serviced pitch (EHU) and extra for non-members.
To my mind their charges are much more reasonable than the sites who charge extra for awnings, pup tents, dogs, etc. Then there are those who charge for EHU even if you don't want it, 50p for a shower, 20p to wash up - the list goes on.
Let's keep C & C C charges as they are.
