I'm not knocking you cos its a brilliant idea when it works i just don't think it would work with my dogs. I'm sorry if it sounds as if i am. And just thinking of trying it on my dogs is keeping me amused.
I'm fairly new to camping, and also have two dogs (bouvier des flandres). I have just bought a new tent as my youngest (now 12 months old) figured out how to "escape" from the one I had, only used it twice, still. So I now have a tent with a sewn in ground sheet. I haven't tried it out yet, but it should scupper her plans!
I also take one of those things you screw into the ground and fasten your dogs to. Bought mine from the local pet shop for about £2, it works very well. Plus I use wind breaks so they can move about freely when I am in or around the tent. I tend not to leave mine alone in the tent, just in case madam gets out again.
The rest of the advice is good, lots of towels and access to water etc, mostly just common sense, but don't forget the poop bags!! Hope it helps, and enjoy!
we have 2 pyrenean mountain dogs, and if you can camp with them believe me, you can camp with anything LoL. an awning is essential, as we tie ours up in there when we want some space, but even then our youngest will escape underneath. On our first camping trip, we were very green, and left them in the awning when we went to bed, about an hour later a guy knocked on the door, and said I,ve just bought your dogs back they were sitting outside our campervan. bless.

You do see many if you go to the bouvier rally in August!! That's where I got my first taste of camping too. Combining two vices - how nice, three if you include the wine! Highly recommended.
