We have the tie-out pegs [ curly things] and can put 2 Belgian Shepherd Dogs on each [Freebirdshould be aware how they can behave when they want to]  and have found them to work well for the job intended. Whilst you are around, never left alone, and checked for security daily.  we put them by the tent door so the dogs can get to shade, water and of course us!  Trust is the most important training aid. Trust your training................but be ready, just in case  ??  LOL

Good post and very sensible advice.

we used to do dog agility and 3 collies types to look after in and around our pitch. as you can see we used a combo of builders orange plastic netting and windbreaks. once they got used to it they were happy to stay within the confines of "their territory"

anybody looking for further advice on camping with dogs could do worse than look around the forums on a site called http://agilitynet.com/

More great advice, thanks all!!!

Freeby, you absolutley crack me up!!! lol..can she come and teach her son that one please?? lol

We have a curly spike each for our 2 rotties, and they hold them just fine. Saying that, they've never tried to make a serious break for it - too lazy by far

When we camped, we always tied the dogs to the towball while we pitched the tent. And guess what - we never once attempted to drive off with the dogs still attached

When we are on the beach, we also tether the dogs. We fill a tesco/asda hessian shopping bag with sand, dig a hole, tie rope to the bag handles and bury the bag in the hole. The dogs have never realised that they can pull that out either

Oops, I should say our dogs are so well trained they don't try to escape their confines, shouldn't I? Nah - they're too lazy!
