A lot of campers we see in-store who like to take their dog camping, insist on a sewn-in groundsheet, and D-Doors to prevent easy escape of an evening. This is more prevalent with younger and smaller dogs with a keen interest in exploration. Two key ways to stop your dog going for a night time walkie are: 1. Sewn-In Groundsheet 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. Try not to leave the dog unattended for fear of them chewing at your precious tent. 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.
