For a successful camping trip with your pup, you will need the essential supplies like food and water bowls, leashes and collars, poop bags and bedding. However, RV camping may necessitate additional items – particularly dog training collars which should always be on hand during any camping experience.
An electronic shock collar (e-collar) can be an easy and convenient way to train your dog for camping trips. An e-collar will teach your pup how to respect boundaries around camp even without you around as a supervisor, while protecting her from dangerous areas where she might otherwise run off. Wireless collars also provide a safe solution for keeping them safely contained without taking away valuable floor space from RVs or tents.
Before going camping with your pup, take her for long walks and practice her on-leash obedience skills in an on-leash setting – this way she knows she will behave while on trails or campgrounds. Additionally, practice long-distance recall in an environment full of distractions so she knows she will come when called back.
Before heading outdoors, make sure that your pup is microchipped and wearing ID tags so that if she becomes lost during her camping adventure, you can reunite quickly with her. In addition, consult your vet about any preventive medications or vaccinations she may need against outdoor infections like Lyme disease and Giardia.
