PETS & ANIMALS POLICY

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

Out here… things are different than in town.


🤔 WHAT ABOUT EXCEPTIONS?

There are no exceptions to this policy.

This protects:

✔ Our animals
✔ Our guests
✔ You
