NO DOGS IN THE SMOKY'S unless its a registered service animal then its okay.
Weakkkk
Lameee
There are two short day trails where dogs (or bicycles) are allowed. The Gatlinburg Trail and the Oconaluftee River Trail
The trouble I have with campfires are the folks that carry a bottle in one hand and a Bible in the other.
You never know which one is talking.
??????????????
I'm so confused, I'm not sure if I lost my horse or found a rope.
he thinks the rules are weak and lame? most dog owners feel that way
Put another way Laaaaaaame, Weeeeeeeak.
OK lets take a different view on this - The Smoky National is not available and the two available trails are lame. There are nearby areas that our OP can choose from.
Dogs are excellent judges of character, this fact goes a long way toward explaining why some people don't like being around them.

he thinks rules are lame. probably thinks LNT is weak and lame also. let him stay home.

I think the rules about dogs in GSMNP are Weeeek and Lammmme, but I still respect and follow them. I imagine that the OP intends to do the same.
Colorless green ideas sleep furiously.
OK I think if someone starts a thread the last thing I would want is to have regulation or laws thrown in my face .... I don't want a reach around either... lets see what is available for this person as informative as possible... by the way, clearly he is new because he didn't post in the dog forum - just do your best..
1 idea is Backpacker database
2 idea is trimble outdoors.

Just go hiking in your nearest National Forest. You can take your dog if you want. You can camp pretty much anywhere you choose instead of being forced into a dirty shelter.

I've heard many feel the same way about the same rules for The Place. Not I.

i think we are finding more and more rules these days cause there is less and less common sense.

as a dog owner i for the most part understand and agree with the no dogs in the backcountry rule. if you want to talk about something that is TRULY very weak and extraordinarily lame, I've always found the fact that they consider the 8 foot wide tarred over path up clingman's dome to be a back country trail and thereby subject to the no dogs rule. now that is just stupidity.
The GSMNP trails and even other hikers may be "dog friendly", not so sure about the Rangers/Law.
I would like to PM you on a better level on a subject other than this, can you change the restrictions ... just asking.
Back to the issues... why cannot we show a good direction on hiking with a dog instead of throwing up the rules?

how about the trail south of fontana and north of stand bear.
