-take your dog inside the tent after they are exercised and take a nap together
-Open a door halfway and show them how to get in and out even if the doorway isn’t open all the way
-Teach your dog to wait until you open the door to jump in
-Teach your dog what the mesh is, that they cannot go through the mesh when it is closed
-do not zip your dog inside the tent, with you outside (or vice versa) until you are confident they are calm
-a dog mat is always a good idea, even if you dog doesn’t need it, just to keep everything clean, and to have a “place” for your dog to return to on command
-close the fly so your dog cannot see outside if they are guarding, or barking at noises or people
-if your dog wakes up early or stays up late due to the unfamiliar territory, take him for a walk to tire him out
-keep to any routines you might have at home (time you eat, sleep, bedtime routines)

If you plan on tent camping with your dog, you may be overwhelmed with the idea that you can’t lock your dog in a trailer if they are having a bad day or barking their head off. Get your dog’s spot set up first, so they can familiarize themselves with the area and get comfortable while you put up the tent. Having rugs on your tent floor keeps your dog from poking holes or digging through the tent material. bring a dog bed / sleeping bag for your dog Even if your dog sleeps on your bed at home, having a little bed for them provides a place that is theirs. Bring a portable speaker with a good battery life and play white noise. Never leave your dog alone inside a tent without you there. Don’t leave them tied up outside your tent either.

A sewn-in groundsheet in the living space is where the flysheet of the tent and the groundsheet, are integrated and sewn together.
This stops smaller dogs from escaping in-between the gap of the flysheet and the groundsheet.
D-Doors are often found on sewn-in groundsheet style tents, and they are really handy for stopping the dog escaping, as they are walk-in style doors, with a pelmet which can be fully sealed.
Plan an area of the tent or pitch where your dog is going to sleep / relax.
Try not to leave the dog unattended for fear of them chewing at your precious tent.
Polyester Tents can get exceptionally warm during the day, so make sure if your dog is inside, it has plenty of ventilation by opening doors, vents and mesh door panels.
Take Dog Tether - if you dog is not particularly well trained or behaved, it might be worth taking a tether to stop them flying off whilst your trying to pitch the tent.
You need to pick something with plenty of space, and maybe standing height.
Tunnel tents tend to offer the greatest use of space, and layout.
