    I wouldn’t be comfortable leaving my dog outside at night in a place where bears roam

      We used to go rough camping every weekend in summer. The 2 dogs would take off as soon as we stopped at the camp spot, mark the area and eventually come back, they were never tied out there. We never saw signs or even heard bears (they can be quite stealthy) dogs presence is a great deterrent. Glad the bears were not this smart or all our food (left on the ground) would have vanished

        I feel like going camping with your dogs where there aren’t bears is a little bit different than leaving your dog outside overnight where there is, in fact, a bear.

          Calabogie, Ontario, is home to a variety of wildlife, including bears, deer, moose, otters, wolves, and foxes. This is where we used to camp, just off the logging roads, we also camped in Denbigh off the logging roads there
