Go to the local pet store and get a bottle of Bitter Apple.

Soak a cotton wool pad (or a rag) and rub it onto the guy ropes. He will only try to chew them the once after that!!!!!

Make sure he can get to his drinking bowl easily though. He will want a long drink after tasting that.

<<< he'll lie outside the caravan without being tethered and will not bother anybody. >>>

Much as I admire your confidence in your dog staying outside your van while off the lead, I wonder how many other caravanners feel safe or content about your arrangements.

I have two dogs and they are always kept on a lead unless in our own well fenced garden at home or inside the secured environment of our unit when on the campsite.

Most campsites have a very clear policy of all dogs being on leads at all times and I would expect all of us to respect those rules.

If I saw someone diobeying such a ruling, I would be reporting them and I would expect the Warden to take action immediately.

Your dogs are kept on a lead for my safety and reassurance, not for your ego.

I'm sorry I don't care how well trained the dog is, it should be on a lead when on a campsite and the end of the day a dog is still an animal capable of harm.

Yes a untrained dog barking is bad too.

Our dogs are trained and would sit out not on a lead no issues at all, they come on comand etc, but still they are on a lead for my own peace of mind, for dogs safety, others safety and because that is the rules on most campsites and from memory on CC club sites too.

He is on the lead if i walk around the site with him. The thing is we never holiday during school holidays because we'd rather listen to 10 dogs barking than half a dozen kids on scooters, we always choose a pitch which is suitable for us and the dog and he's always with one of us, never left outside unattended or stuck in the awning otherwise we may as well not have bought him.
At the end of the day if somebody reported me because I'm sat outside with a dog that's lying down and not on a lead and he's not bothered them at all then they need to take a look at theirselves

LINK to CC. I think it's page 2 that refers to being on a lead at all times.
