Feral dogs in Native American tribal lands

Postby Joe4Camping » Mon Jan 22, 2018 9:43 am

I am planning a camping trip in September to Monument Valley, with my wife and our 15 lb dog. I have read that packs of feral dogs can be a problem when visiting tribal areas. Has anyone experienced problems while camping with dogs in tribal lands?

Also, any suggestions for dog-friendly hikes and/or parks in New Mexico or Utah would be greatly appreciated. We're in North Carolina, so we'll need to plan carefully, especially with a dog in tow.

We were in Monument Valley Tribal Park last June. I never saw any dogs of any kind running lose. Unless you let your dog run free I can't imagine anywhere you would run the risk of an attack. Since dogs need to be leashed everywhere you go anyhow the risk of a bit from another campers dog is probably a greater threat.

We spent over a month bouncing around that country and never saw or heard of feral dog problems.

Ya right, Slowcowboy,
