Curious to how your camping trip went with the puppy?
We are taking our first camp trip with our new puppy soon, he will be around 10 weeks old. How did the tie down and kennel work? We have a pop up camper and are planning on having him sleep inside without his kennel, not sure he is ready for that freedom may need to purchase the soft side kennel. Thanks for any shared information.

CptJack, Yes this was a concern too, but the place we are staying is very secluded. I bought the soft side kennel and he has been enjoying it today, hopefully all will go well.

So our camping trip with Cash was a success, couldn't have asked for a better time with a puppy! He is in love with the water now, he really enjoyed the boat rides, sleep in his soft side kennel in the camper perfectly. I was worried when we got home his potty habits would change, since he had the freedom of going any where on the camp site. But he still goes straight to the door and even rang his bells since we have been back home! We will be going again soon! Here are the things I took for him.

Soft Side Kennel
Tie Down 25ft (only used once)
Food, Water and Treats
Toy Bucket (discovered he likes sticks more then toys)
Leash
Life Jacket
