The first couple times we took our dog camping I'd leash him to a tree while we set up camp. He didn't like that much and sometimes would be vocal about it. One thing I won't do is have a barking dog in the wilderness... frown But we soon learned to set up the tent immediately. As soon as it was the doggie took himself inside and curled up. After a day on the trail and missed naps he was delighted to be inside this 'den.' No straying...no noise...and we were free to leisurely do whatever we had to do... YDMV laugh
