Hope someone can share their dog experience with us. We are traveling this spring with a 55 pound, 7 month old Golden Retriever. We also have a 3 year old cat that does her best to stay away from the dog (dog wants to play, cat runs). We have been training the dog but its a work in process as she still often turns into a crazy puppy - which she is.

We are considering an outdoor dog pen. We would not leave the dog unattended but we think she would be more relaxed in a pen and we might have more time to ourselves outside when she is in it.

The down side is its about 60 lbs of more stuff that cost about $125 that we may not actually use or perhaps only use for a short time. Are pens really worth the $$ and extra weight in the RV?

We would value any advice anyone has (including tips on traveling long distance with a puppy).
