Tethering dogs when camping

Just tell them to sit and stay

That would be good if she had some training before coming to us but at 5 years old when we got her it is taking a lot of time to teach her the right way, the other one stays at camp but there are places where they have to be on the leash which is also what this post is for.  We try to free camp when we can but sometimes stay in caravan parks so looking for ideas for that as well.

My lab, we just put her on a run, with some large pegs either end in deep, but she is lazy, in that if you throw the ball to far she won't chase it, and I'm talking 5 metres.

Hahaha Jobe would like it if you could throw it 500metres or more just loves to run around and chase the ball and be a crazy sort of dog haha and thinks everyone will love her

Are you talking about your wife, the dogs or all 3

We had the same problem. Ended up we decided to use some holes that were already drilled into the trailer chassis underneath the blinkers and we put eye bolts into them. That way depending on where we are or where the shade is, we can relocate her using the retractable lead.

We could not use that place all the time only if weather meant she had to be in under awning as we just don't have the room under there for that and chairs etc, we always make sure they have shade available where they are tied up and make it close to the camp and if they want it we put their swags near them.  When we had to tie her near the trailer we were able to link her lead back through the handle of itself through part of the trailer

I use the two spare seat belts from the cargo area in the truck. I don't have seats 6 and 7 in the boot so it's like a retracting lead already attached to ya truck, just clip em on.

Normally I run some rope between the handle of a dog lead and then tie some rope very tight about 3 foot off the ground between 2 trees. Then the dog uses this as a run and seeing the lead is only 5 foot it’s unlikely they get caught up around anything. 

One place we camped there were no trees, so tied one end to the spare tyre on the drawbar and the other end to car bull bar which I parked 10m away. Then used that as a dog run. When the Dog was tied up he spent most of the time under the front of the car in the shade.

If I want to limit how far down the rope he can go (IE: bush/table etc they will get tangled in, I run the rope through a 40mm pipe (My beach rod holder) and stops them going too far.

At night we tie her to the fridge in the annexe. During the day it depends on situation but have had her tied to a rope that's either around a tree or a run style thing with rope between two trees/other support and have a carabeena (sp?) type clip on the the handle of her lead. We just unclip and off we go for a walk, etc. TBH, she isn't tied up all that often...she just lies on her bed most of the time.
