Anneli you need to seriously sit down and talk this through with your partner, dogs do not stop you doing things on the whole, ok there might be some beaches they cannot go on in summer or some national trust properties that they cant go inside.
Is your partner scared of dogs? or is it the male trait of 'if she loves me she should do/agree with whatever i say'
The first one is workable on, the second is 'male control' and that needs stamping out - in the nicest possible way, before you are not allowed to think/do anything without his prior approval - and yes i have been there many ears ago.
You seem to be putting yourself second and your dog third in the relationship and neither of you will be really happy with the situation.
Its not fair on your dog, it doesnt understand this constant moving and your disappearance for a few days but it puts up with it and i bet it is really glad when it sees you again. Dogs need to know their place and feel secure in it
and i agree its a case of love me accept my dog

We're not being horrible Anneli but I guess a lot of us have been with blokes who have tried to change us and most of us -well I have- learned that I am who I am and that includes a huge love of animals and I devote a lot of my time to them .... but that's me - if you took my animals away it wouldn't be me and I certainly wouldn't be happy then I wouldn't be the person he fell in love with.
