Go here https://www.askamanager.org/2021/08/weekend-open-thread-august-21-22-2021.html and search for The Dogman. Specifically, the parts about travelling with 5 dogs.
I don't see anything entitled there? Travelling with his dogs is a given in his case. He lets people know that so they can let him know if he needs to make other arrangements for where he and the dogs stay.
Not to be rude, but did you read his posts in their entirety?
Several statements he makes indicate to me that how you're describing it (which in fairness is how he sort of describes it at one point) is not how it really goes down:
Someone said: "Staying in someone’s home is an ask to bring the dog, not a “let them know.” I have a dog, he is my best bud, but he is not everyone else’s."
His response was: "No not at all, it is a “let them know”. My dogs coming with me is non-negotiable, where I stay is of course negotiable, so I would be happy to camp in the garden, bring a camper, find a dog friendly BnB…" - While this technically
could check the box off of him asking politely and being fine with someone saying no, the tone doesn't seem to indicate that he's not handling it that way.
It's also aided by his continuing statement:
"But if I have to bring my dogs then I have to bring my dogs, in the same way a child owning friend might have to bring the sprog to stay at mine should that be the way the situation falls.
Asking permission to own my own dogs is a bit much really." - No one is giving him permission to own a dog. Equating not letting him stay and bring all of his dogs to someone's house is the same thing as not giving him "permission" to own dogs is incredibly entitled.
Furthermore, he says, "If someone loathes dogs to the degree that I cannot bring mine (to stay in the garden etc) with me then they have no business inviting me in the first place, and I would not go, since my dogs are more important to me than someone who has so little care for another humans dependents."
Um....seriously? There are dozens of reasons why someone might not want you to bring 5 dogs to their house, not the least of which is they may not feel like housing 5 dogs when they just invited you. To imply that anyone who doesn't want to house your small dog kennel with them when you come over means they loathe dogs as a whole is pretty much the definition of the "OP being the only one who doesn't see" their ignorance.
Finally:
"Plus mine are exceptionally well trained too, so most people I know are fine with them coming along with me." - Really......I mean really.....I sincerely doubt anyone - maybe one in a 100 are truly fine with him taking 5 dogs along with him to stay at their place. They likely tolerate it at best. It just sounds overall like he's clueless, thinking he's "letting people know" and being polite about it when he's really a leach, playing off of people's sympathy or inability to say no to take 5 dogs with him to stay with people.
This is a poster case of what this thread is about lol.
