Larry Holbrook December 13 Compromise is something rational human beings do to endure living together - it is pure lunacy when politicians, bureaucrats & celebrities dictate how us simple, poor folks should live - there is no limit to the conceit of the self-annointed -

kpp01 December 13 Personnally, I have met more obnoxious children on trails than annoying dogs. Can we keep children off the trails?

Terry & Diane December 12 We have been to the national parks and find that some of the rules are made/inforced/ ignored to the extent that the top person at that park feels is the correct policy. More than one ranger has told us as much.

In a lot of ways the rules make sense, but as pet owners,it usually just sucks!The rules at national forestsare much less restrictive and your pets are allowed on the trails at alot of them  less

Tony and Margie December 12 Yes, sadly, we end up skipping the big parks in favour of the state parks and national forests.  Sometimes we are happy to find gems that we would have missed.  Still, as you aptly put it: it sucks

Our dogs can travel far across the country and introduce unfamiliar to the area disease. But, likely the number one reason is likely bad pet parents. Some of us expect everyone to love our pet and all their "uniquely adorable" behavior as much as we do. But that behavior may be perceived as rude, aggressive, or scary because they have a different standard of behavior for pets than the owner.


And of course the other main reason is pet waste (part of the disease concern as well), there are a lot of owners that think a dog should be able to crap wherever it wants. And because it is outside it will decay naturally with no need to clean it up, try that in the desert!


The RV park I'm at right now has a phantom crapper at our dog area. No one sees them leave it, but we all have to avoid it, or pick it up for them lest the whole place turn into one pile of crap that my dog would never want run around in.  less

Ray & Ann December 13 We are in O'Leno state park near Gainesville Fl right now and I think every site has a dog or two or three. No phantom crappers here except the deer!

SouthParkSteve December 13 One other thing about National Parks is that dogs can disturb the existing wildlife.  For example, the only natural predator for a moose is wolves, but to a moose, ANYTHING of that shape is a wolf.  They don't know the difference between a wolf ...  moreOne other thing about National Parks is that dogs can disturb the existing wildlife.  For example, the only natural predator for a moose is wolves, but to a moose, ANYTHING of that shape is a wolf.  They don't know the difference between a wolf and a chihuahua, so they will charge ANY dog they see. 

The whole idea for a National Park is to allow the wildlife to live as undisturbed as possible.  Even on a leash, a barking dog, or even the scent of a dog, can interrupt that.  less
