I have two dogs (noisy terriers) which stay at home when I go to festivals.

I only have a small camper van which I am reluctant to leave them in when I am otherwise engaged and very few festivals have exercise areas suitable for dogs off leaders.

Having said that many of my friends with large campers or caravans had perfectly adequate facilities for their dogs.

What does disturb me (and I saw far too much of it at Whitby this year) is the owner who insists on bringing a dog into a hot crowded bar or singaround/session.

They do no favours either to the dog or the rest of te people in there.
Totally selfish and thoughtless in my opinion.
