So many questions!
You planning on pulling the trailer with your bike and the dogs at the same time? (Not sure what that would look like.)
Is the trailer going to have brakes? (Probably, a requirement. Especially, going downhill.)
That's 100 lb for an empty trailer? What's the weight of the other stuff?

Crummy brakes on a cheap kid's bike designed for 80 (?) pounds holding back 250 pounds of trailer, possessions, and a person. Sounds like a great plan.
