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... 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
