Campground rules at the campground.
I applaude the trail leash rule, its new. First I heard of it.
Some people just don't like dogs, and some kids are scared of them, and some people have no control off-leash and let them roam, while some are trained most excellent and controlled. Property owners get a pass? lol
This is why I downsized from Doberman to MinPin, so I can bring her places and still be able to just throw her in a crate if problems arise.
Good work Jam committee.

Shaun and Jenny had heff there last year. Dont know why it would be a problem, other then ya, keeping them leashed at the camp ground. As Tracey said, we had Heff there last year and he will return again this year as my co-pilot. He was always on a leash and when in close contact with others he was also muzzled due to the fact that he was not used to large amounts of people in a small area. And the best thing was nobody ever tried to take my trail lunch from me as long as Heffy was sitting next to it.  |

Not to forget that some people are also allergic to dogs Thanks for being considerate.

You guys handled that dog great, I could tell you were 'on it' the whole time. |

If I might mention something about this - most dogs aren't used to being in the woods and while they will enjoy the new scents I am sure, porcupines are a major hazard to them and dogs unfamiliar with them can be seriously hurt - skunks are more nocturnal and more rare to come across

happened to a hunting buddy of mine, great choc. lab - actually jumped on a porcupine and tried to take a bite out - $3000 later they both learned a painful lesson

We walk Moose in the woods every day and he has had a couple of close calls to be sure. He runs around a lot in the woods, but when he can see the truck/Jeep, he never strays too far (abandoned rescue dog, never wants to be where his ride is not... Unless it is in the garage, then he is out and about.) But I have never had him in the woods with a vehicle, so who knows, it could be a real shit show.
I am on two minds at this point to bring him or not, if I can make it to Jam at all. He would be definately leashed at all times and under control. It's only right.

Having a dog on the trail makes him exposed to a lot more ticks than if he just stayed at the campground or at home.  |

We did find a few ticks on Razor last year but I came fully equipped with a "Tick Pick" that I purchased at the vet clinic.

And yes just in case anyone was wondering, Len will be required to be on a leash as well and banned from the tent after hours!
