Beagle Puppy Camping First time!

Smudge the Beagle s first experience of camping out and sleeping in a tent at the beautiful Kaitoke Regional Park. Before we went we were worried about whether Smudge would try to eat the tent or bed rolls, how to keep her safe while doing "camp chores" like setting up the tent or washing dishes, and whether she would settle down at night sleeping in a tent which was different to what she was used to. In the beginning of the video we have included a dog camping checklist of what we took specifically for our beagle. This bit of planning was very useful and worked well so we could relax and enjoy some beautiful hiking / walking trails while keeping her safe. Smudge did in fact try to eat the bed rolls, attempted to run off with socks, digging / burying them into a sleeping bag, and worked out how to get the zips on the tent open with her snout. Two handy dog camping tips: have the zips joining high up out of reach of a beagle snout, and keep your clothes in a pocket/separate area of the tent or hang high up out of reach of a puppy. The Kaitoke Campground has an easy and popular walk close by along the Pakuratahi River. We have included snippets also of Smudge exploring this lovely forest walk. At the end of the video Smudge does some beagle barking. She had seen a blow up water raft / lilo in the shape of a unicorn that belonged to one of the other campers... and she would ve liked to play with (or otherwise beaglise). Kaitoke Regional Park is a very dog-friendly campground and there were a lot of other well-behaved dogs on-site at the camping ground. Dogs must be controlled at all times, and stay out of other people s camping area (and of course owners should clean up after their pets). Thanks for watching.
