So now we have two dogs and twice as many knots to undo.

Anyway to stop them getting wrapped around the lines?

Apart from peg them further away from the tent lol.

If I'm on a grass pitch I use a couple of beach-type windbreaks to make a small enclosure within the area of the guy lines so my two can wander in and out of the tent/awning without being tied up and getting tangled in the lines. At the moment I'm on a hardstanding pitch and can't use windbreaks, so I've tethered them inside the awning but with enough rope for them to go outside but not far enough to get tangled up.

Our tent has two pegging points inside, through the 'zig' to anchor the sleeping pods. These serve the double purpose of allowing the dog stakes to go through. So our pooches are tethered from within the tent to a distance of about five feet outside. This way, they stay under the canopy and cannot get near the guylines. It also stops them sneaking out under the doors if the mood were to take them.

I put the delta dog tether (brilliant by the way) further away from the tent and then have my two on about 2-3 long leads each so they can get inside but don't weave in and out of the guylines, generally speaking this works for us

I have mine on running lines - a rope strung between two dog stakes, with the dog's lead attached to the rope, so they can each travel the full distance of the rope but only a lead's length either side of it.

Carefully positioned, it stops them getting near the guy ropes. Some pitches aren't ig enough for this though, at least not with 2 dogs that have to be pegged out separately (they scrap, and get tangled together).
