sad thing is he only went once, as hes DA (dog aggressive) we cant take chances, its so sad cos hes fantastic with humans and likes to share his tricyle with children
Ive got the same problem eileen, my boys would love camping (two german shepards) love humans but take a dislike to other dogs, ive mixed them both when they were puppys with other dogs no problem but as they have got older they dislike dogs for some reason,cats no problem but hey ho thats life they get holidays every day on ther long walks 10 miles plus on some days that keeps them happy.
sad isnt it , Buster had raised 7 kittens and is a softy and very loved and spoiled , we take him out every day and hes well looked after when we go camping x

one of our dogs are dog aggresive after being attacked by another dog what we do is teather him up and sarround an area with wind breaks that way only hears other dogs not see them which he is use too. When its walkie time whe have him in a soother muzzle not a wire or plastic type muzzle but a bit that just goes round his mouth that way he can be controlled when around another dog. We have done this for about 4 years as our other dog is so mellowed out and they both love camping
We are lucky because Comet thinks that the world is his friend and loves other dogs, cats, was kissing a goat through the fence at one point last year.
He loves to go camping.
As he would be on a lead all the time when on site, have you thought about taking him, and using windbreaks etc so that he can not see other dogs if you are sitting outside etc.?
You could try a local trip with his usual minders on standby if it isn't working out.
My boy is DA too but we still take him camping we just do what a lot of folks do and surround ourselves with our windbreaks and make him his own space as most sites have a must be tethered at all times rule we have had no problems with other dogs wondering in his way!!!
My (late) Springer, Paddy, though soppy as you like with all humans especially children, was dog aggressive but at his happiest when camping. He seemed to feel much safer knowing all the other dogs were on leads or tethers like him and unable to come near him. It meant he could relax and not worry that he needed to be alert and ready to attack them. It gave him the chance to just watch them at a safe distance and reduced his fear and in turn his aggressive response.
Amazing family weekend with old steam engines, classic car displays, market stalls, and full catering and bar. And camping on site - Save £25 by booking in advance.
