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.
