E-bike with Trailer

I live in Finland and have an allotment garden with a cottage across town. It's about a 14 km trip one way from my house and I don't own a car. I have been using public transportation until now but am getting impatient with it and find it inconvenient for carrying all the stuff I need and also taking a dog with me. It seems that an e-bike with a trailer would be the perfect solution. I have been researching e-bikes and have decided on a city bike with a low step-through.It has a detachable 500 W battery and a 250W motor. It seems that there are a few trailers for sale online that are stated to be made for dogs. My question to all of you is. Do you have experience with using a trailer with your bike? What should I be aware of before invest in this? Did you try transporting a dog? How did it go? Have you used a trailer to haul stuff (using it instead of a car). Did you have trouble attaching the trailer to the bike? What was your experience- good or bad?
