We are definitely taking our dog with us when we tour. He's 15-lbs and a very easy-going traveler. Our plan is to have him ride along in a trailer. Currently our top choice is the
DoggyRide Novel trailer, though there are several other options out there like the
Burley Tail Wagon.
Keep in mind that having a dog may also limit the places you, yourself, can go. Also, you must be prepared for detours or delays should the dog be injured or get sick.
There are several folks who have successfully and enjoyably toured with their dogs. With that said, only you can determine whether your dog - and you - will enjoy the trip.
