OK, I will sit back and cop the barbs re DOGS when travelling.
I understand to some sort of degree when it comes to solo travellers.
Folks complain about noise from Gennies, I on the other hand about DOGS.

Obviously you know this will be a divisive topic, so why bother? You have your opinions, not everyone shares them. Nothing will change for you.

Hi JayDee,most people who travel with dogs ,love them as they are part of their family .
We wouldn't go anywhere without our old cattle dog .She is funny ,obedient and loves to interact with us. lol
As any dog owner you would talk to would say. She is also good security around the M/H and she doesn't ask for much
just our affection ,and she has certainly got that.
I reckon you will probably get a lot of posts about dogs on here some good ,some bad but you will only
get good posts from dog owners.

To start a topic like this for absolutely no reason other than to rub dog owners up the wrong way would mean you have nothing to fill your day. What's the old expression...If you don't have something nice to say, say NOTHING at all. Perhaps you should adhere to that.

I don't currently have my own dog, but if you cannot understand the bond that develops between dog and human and the thought of leaving them behind would be painful.
If you don't understand at this stage of life you never will.

This is a pointless, divisive post, dogs are a fact of life in Australia, get over it.
My pet dislike is trolls who post knowing full well their that the post will likely get a negative reaction and serve no useful purpose.

even people who have dogs can find other peoples dogs a botheror annoying if the owners do not control them. so the problem is not the dogs themselves but the owners.
I wonder if the people who object to the op's opinion think their dogs are never annoying to any one else??

Why do people have a dog with them while travelling? Probably because they want to.
As long as their choices do not have a negative effect on my enjoyment of what's out there, no bitching from me.

Dog lover all my life, and can see why people like to take their fur babies with them.
It is an individual choice but your choice should not impact on me.

Hi JayDee , sorry you feel that way about dogs on holidays..... some owners are very irresponsible I know . and so are the people who smoke and leave cigarette butts all over the camp site how hard is it to carry a jar to put them in . I have camped at places and there is kangaroo and bird and numerous other droppings everywhere and toilet paper left behind by humans and rubbish from people but have to accept that in my travels because there is not a damn thing I can do about it . Love my little dog more than humans a lot of the time /who else wags their tail when they see you and gives you unconditional love .

We don't have a dog or cat for that matter, just some fish. Pets with 4 legs do restrict where one can go - eg no National Parks.
BUT leaving the pooch home, denies people of companionship & costs a lot - having to rely on someone else to look after it if family are not available & kennel fees <$15-30 a day.
So JayDee, don't stir up those who choose to travel with their livestock, relax, smell the flowers & do as we do, watch the birds!

Question, do people travel with their pets or do the pets travel with their people? Just asking!

Dave,
I think it's a bit of each. You can imagine the dog feeling rather disappointed when their owners go out in the car & being left behind.
We looked after our son's dogs for two years while they went overseas for work & found the dogs really enjoyed the trip from Canberra to Townsville (for one it was one way only). They sat in the back & were happy to get out every couple of hours & hop back in again.
The bigger one always wanted to be lifted back in (perhaps he trained my son) but I found he would jump in quite readily if some biscuits were on offer! And perhaps because I don't travel as fast, he never got car sick either!

I'm with you sherbert, we love our 2 girls & won't be leaving them at home when we head off. Their love is unconditional & always so happy to have their people around them. Pity some couldn't leave their children at home or kennels!
The more I see of people, the more I love my dog!!!

We used to own both dogs & cats, but never travelled with them. When we used to travel as a family when the kids were young, we placed our pets in boarding kennels. When we were older, just us "oldies" travelled as the now adult kids did not want to go with us old farts. So they stayed home & looked after the pets & the house.
As our pets have now passed on, I know how attached people become to their pets. Any responsible owner loves their pets like family. There will always be responsible & irresponsible pet owners, just as there are the same in campers, motorists & just about every type out there. I for one do my best not to upset anyone camping around me & hope that they afford everyone the same courtesy.
Those who exist just to p15s others off come in all forms. In all my caravanning years I have never come across any that are pet owners, usually just loud drunkards.
