I bring her (see avatar) 20 ft steel cable (she carries it) for around camp. She is used to it, and as long as she can see us, she doesn't cry. Some times I let her run around, and sometimes it is nice to be able to tie her with no worries. If you tie your dog inside the tent, I would tie to a person (around the waist, not neck ). I doubt anything else would keep the dog from running, if the dog wanted too. If you leave your dog, leave it outside. Just make sure there is shade, water and maybe a pad to lay on.
