So I am getting ready for my second camping trip ever as an adult. Friends forced me to go last month and I discovered that I actually really enjoyed it. I am planning to go again next weekend, but I will be going alone. I think my biggest concern (other than being female) is how to handle my two dogs. I would definitely feel safer if I brought them both along, but I am concerned about possible damage to my tent and also the fact that they tend to feed off one another when they get excited. Alone, they are both really good dogs and listen really well...but when they're together, if one gets excited or starts barking things can get annoying pretty quickly. Any suggestions to make my first solo trip a success? Should I just bring one dog?
Some quick info on the dogs
Dog 1 - ~5 years old, 27 lbs, very obedient, very protective, doesn't like men
Dog 2 - ~5 years old, 40 lbs, less obedient but won't leave my side anyway, somewhat of a chicken but seems scary because she growls for everything (play, potty time, dinner time, etc), doesn't like other dogs (except mine or teeny tiny chihuahuas lol)
Thanks!
(Any other tips would be appreciated as well. I have tried to read through most of the threads on here, and have done quite a bit of internet research but there's definitely no substitute for real experience.)
