Great video, looks very nice and quiet. Love the dog fencing, what is height and how many panels, would you mind giving some info on the fencing, thank you and keep up with very informative things to know when camping with the dogs.
Note: We are aware there's a sound/volume issue during the portion where I am sharing our go-to hiking gear. If you find it difficult to hear or have any questions about what I'm sharing, please let us know and we'll be happy to help!
Love your videos! Can you do a video of how you guys pack up your car? I have a doggo too and I'm curious how you get your cots and everything packed comfortably with 3 dogs!
A common concern people have about dog-friendly travellers, but we did write a guide to help people address that too (because we also don't want to listen to dogs bark constantly): thekaspack.com/is-your-dog-barking-while-camping-6-simple-solutions/
I'm sorry for your loss of Dav and Indy! Absolutely understand that you both were not wanting to make content and book campsites. Also no need to explain why either. As for booking campsites, I found it less stressful booking 4 months or less out in my own time. People cancel all of the time, not too mention some of the smaller(yet still beautiful) parks dont ever fully fill up(except maybe on Canada Day long weekend and even then there are last minute cancellations). If you do not need electricity it is even easier to find something.
That's exactly what we were just discussing-taking this opportunity to maybe check out some of those smaller, lesser-known parks. Besides, I'm sure a lot of our community would love to learn about them, too, because you don't see the pictures and videos in all the FB groups letting you know what's out there-so it really is a win/win!
I'm so sorry for your loss of dav and indy hugs it's definitely hard last year I lost 2 pets within 4 months which I understand loss of a pet is hard take your time with videos thanks for sharing can't wait for your adventures when your ready hugs
great video nice site .I will be going there in july and was my site is site 3 Ceder campground by chance what site are you and how was it for nite time and did you have a tent and how was that room wise and set up wise is there shelter on your site if it rains..Thank you so much for your wondeful video as i am also a dog owner too
The site shown there is site 3. It is a bit of a walk from the parking area which helps with privacy, although there is a staff building and parking area that you can see from the site where you'll hear some activity. The site has 2 main levels, we set up with the tent at the top and the dining shelter down closer to the water. Definitely bring a tarp or dining shelter if they are calling for rain as the nicest area to hang out, by the water, is pretty open.
Here are 3 things I wish I had known before I started travelling with a reactive dog! 1️⃣ The most critical tool is to know and understand YOUR dog’s triggers. Every dog is different. Some dogs are triggered by sounds, while others thrive as long as the visual is removed. Your dog may be triggered by other dogs, people, a specific type of person (men, people with beards, people with hats), cars, strollers, bikes, etc. By knowing your dog’s triggers, you can take steps to anticipate and manage problems that would otherwise get out of hand. 2️⃣ Take your time and focus on positive associations. Don’t just jump into a week-long camping trip if this is your reactive dog’s first experience. Instead, ease into it. Start with a one-night trip close to home where you can bail if need be (and it’s totally okay if you do; see point #3). Incorporate things that will make the experience positive - praise, their favourite treats, and their favourite toys. Show them that adventuring is a GOOD experience and not a scary one. 3️⃣ Things will inevitably go wrong, and that’s okay! You can do everything right and still end up in a situation where your dog is overstimulated and responding to an unexpected trigger. That’s okay! Adventuring with a reactive dog requires a lot of patience - both for your dog and for yourself. I heard it said: “Reactive dogs aren’t trying to give you a hard time, they are having a hard time.” Do your best to support your dog and prevent problems where possible and be ready to roll with the “not so good” days, because they will happen. But they don’t mean you’ve failed or that there aren’t more great adventures ahead! 👉 Subscribe for more content about how we travel all over Ontario with our reactive dog Lucifer (pictured)! ❤️❤️
Love to see other people taking their dog(s) out on adventures. Subscribed to follow along on yours. 🐾 Great video with some really interesting gear items. Cool idea about the journal! Going to see if I am able to find it. (O darn.... it's not being shipped to my location)
Fun camping with your dogs! We haven't tried a Coleman oven before, your fresh made quiche looks delicious. I'm sure my husband would love to have fresh made cookies while camping!! wow, a private outhouse is a real bonus! :) like! Hi from Washington!! 👍👍
Right? I feel like while non-campers would look at us a little weird, any camper would recognize the huge bonus of a private outhouse! haha We highly recommend the Coleman oven! It has been a lot of fun being able to bake - we even make homemade dog treats on a lot of our trips! 😁
He is definitely a pack dog - as long as the pack is together, he's happy. But if even one member of the pack is separated, he lets us know - especially if it's him hahaha
Thank-you for posting. I too will be in a walk in come Monday, as I move on up to TB and back again. Seeing your walk-in makes me happy about mine. High 5's
