Pet Rules in Most RV Parks

We are learning that most all RV parks have about the same rules.  They are simple and as long as dog owners (and dogs) follow them, dogs will continue to be welcomed.  My human Mom has found several RV Resorts that do not allow dogs because others could not follow the rules.  Parks have the right to say no, so please (with a doggy biscuit on top) follow the rules so they will continue to say yes to 4 legged furry friends!
In Florida, as in most states, the law requires pets to be vaccinated against rabies, and owners should carry proof of rabies vaccination when registering to camp.  We all know that ALL human parents take care of this one, right?  So don't forget to bring the papers for proof!
Most all parks (we don't know of any exceptions) require pets to be confined, leashed or otherwise under the physical control of a person at all times.  OK, no one should be letting their pet run wild at home or in a park.  We could get hurt (even though it seems like fun).
Leashes may not exceed six feet long.  Wow, if mine and my parents did, we could really get all tangled up. 
Pets must be confined in the owners unit during quiet time.  This quiet time is usually between 11pm and 7am when we are all sleeping anyway.  Only if it's an emergency pee-pee would I even think of loosing sleep and waking my human parents.
Pet owners shall pick up after their pet.  Well, someone has to do it and it's only right that each dog owner cleans up after their furry friend.  This makes non dog owners very mad, so make sure to carry clean-up bags for us when we go for walks.
Pets which are noisy, vicious, dangerous, disturbing or intimidating to other people, and pets and are considered a nuisance will not be permitted to stay in the park.  Whew, that was a mouth full!  Now me and my furry parents are German Shepherds and some people automatically think we are mean.  Well, I'm here to tell you, we are some of the most loving and cuddling puppies you'll ever meet.  We don't just speak (bark) for the sake of speaking.  It's usually because something is outside and you need to take a look.  And like most dogs, we all are very nice, love to love, and be loved.  Oh yeah, we do love to play ball! 
Pets are not allowed in all areas of a park.  Bath houses for instance, some hiking trails and visitors centers unless they are working dogs.  Now I sometimes think I'm a working dog because I am always waiting for my Dad to get home from work.  Hey, that's work for me to watch and listen (in between naps), but my human parents know I'm not a certified working dog.  So we follow the r-u-l-e-s!

It's as easy as that!  If all of us work together, parks will keep allowing us furry friends to come back.  I love to RV (and play ball) and I want to always be able to travel with my human parents.  So go have fun, be good and give yourself a dog biscuit for good behavior.
