No Pets or Outside Animals Allowed at Dutch Oven Outfitters
We love animals… but we cannot host pets or outside animals of any kind on this property.
This is for everyone’s safety… including yours.
🔥 THE SIMPLE ANSWER
✔ No dogs ✔ No pets ✔ No outside animals of any kind
👉 This policy is strict and non-negotiable
** EXCEPTION- If you have signed up for our 10-DAY course only and have a working stock dog that will be entering the backcountry with you as part of your job then reach out to me personally. Your dog will be a part of these classes.
We have a strict zero tolerance for unmanaged working dogs. This class is not for pets.
🐾 WHY THIS RULE EXISTS
This is a working Montana property, not a pet-friendly space.
We have:
✔ Territorial working stock dogs ✔ Free-range chickens ✔ Goats and other livestock
These animals are trained to protect and live freely on the land.
👉 Bringing outside animals into this environment can quickly become unsafe.
⚠️ WHAT COULD HAPPEN IF YOU BRING A PET
We want to be honest with you:
✔ Dogs may not get along with working stock dogs ✔ Livestock can be chased, injured, or stressed ✔ Your pet could get hurt ✔ It creates risk for everyone on-site
That’s not something we allow.
🧭 STEP-BY-STEP: WHAT TO DO INSTEAD
Step 1: Make pet care plans before booking (Boarding, pet sitter, or trusted friend)
Step 2: Confirm your travel without animals Make sure your setup is handled ahead of time
Step 3: Arrive focused and ready for class No distractions, no safety concerns
❌ DO NOT SHOW UP WITH A PET
If you arrive with an animal:
🚫 You will not be allowed to stay 🚫 You may be asked to leave immediately 🚫 No refunds will be issued
We don’t like saying that… but it has to be clear.
💬 REAL TALK
This isn’t about being difficult.
It’s about:
✔ Safety ✔ Respect for working animals ✔ Keeping the environment controlled
