Thought i'd start an interesting debate on the pros and cons of travelling with dogs vs travelling with men...
I'll kick us off by saying that over the last 2 years i can safely say if given the choice i would choose my dogs over a man every time when on the road!
A few good reasons are as follows:
My dogs don't care how i drive, they don't question where we're going and they are always happy when we get there no matter where that may be. Men seem to be scared by my driving and know the way better than i do so constantly tell me i am going the wrong way and if the destination is a town they will enivitabley get annoyed by another "shopping" location.
My dogs remain quiet on the journey no matter how long. Men will revert to chidhood and repeat the question "are we nearly there yet?"
Will add more to this list but interested in others experiences....

Ah, I wonder if that is a sign of youth I have to agree with all the pro's you mention, as I find my dogs great passengers, and great company too. I do often wish I had a human passenger to read the map (when satnav looses signal), or to pop in the back and grab some food. Also it would be nice to have someone share the driving. I think if I had someone complaining as you mention above, I'd be very tempted to find a 'happier' place for them to be, and be on my merry way (Thinking this topic is like a Jeremy Vyne subject)

nothing worse than picking up man-poo all the time,or trying to stop your man burying his nose into strangers crotches,pissing on your mate's car and jumping all over the bed shedding hair.still it can be amusing when your fella starts dry humping odd bits of furniture and passers by ! bit off putting when they lie there licking their nether regions,then casually come over for a kiss !

I don't have dogs, any more, but I love travelling alone. I love the random conversations with complete strangers. I love not having to think about where to go next. Or what to eat. Or what time to go bed to read or sleep.
Life is more complicated with a human passenger.

I agree better with a dog than a woman at least ul get some room in the van for clothes rather than have 40 pair of shoes stuffed everywhere, then the loo u don't have to empty it as much cos every time thaysneeze thay want to piss, u don't have to give the dog the map cos dogs can't read maps unlike woman ho think thay can, then there's the van the dog can't drive well enough said, + stoping at the pub the dog only wants a bag of crisps ,so yes a dog would be a good companion big-machine-gunhahahahahahhahahahahahahha

Maybe it's just that my dogs are so well trained that when i have company to travel with they can't match their manners or even come close so i get annoyed with them...

Maybe it's just that my dogs are so well trained that when i have company to travel with they can't match their manners or even come close so i get annoyed with them... Ditto Have never bothered travelling with a man, why would I need to when I've got dogs? Dogs which go to bed and stay there when they are wet and dirty. Dogs who don't complain and in fact seem to adore the food I give them. Dogs who keep quiet and do what they are told when they hear THAT tone in my voice. Dogs who will happily sleep on the floor if I want more space in my bed. Dogs who are never too tired, grumpy, moody etc to give me a hug when I demand one and even sometimes when I don't demand one but they sense I need one. However, that said, unfortunately my dogs do share one unfortunate characteristic with men - they do love to spend hours watching and / or playing football. And I just can't train it out of them

Apparently men and dogs are also prone to farting. Not that I have ever noticed... it's all hearsay (smellsay) to me.
I reckon women fart too, but they just blame the men and dogs!!

Funny thing is I was suprised by how many men really do not like football as you are brainwashed into thinking all men love it !
