To not want ILs to stay this long?

Hello,
SIL has suggested a weekend away with myself and DH along with FIL, his partner and their dog, which we agreed to. After some back and forth between SIL and FIL, FIL called to say they agreed they would actually drive to see us (3.5 minimum drive) and stay with us 4 nights. SIL will come to for one night.
AIBU to not want them to come this long? I was agreeable to 2 nights but 4 will mean they are still here when we are at work. I do not like the dog, it barks a lot, is extremely energetic and I am in a 2 bed terrace.
DH says it's because of the drive and he never makes the effort so we need to agree but I really want them to go after 2 nights. AIBU?

DH also suggested we say we want some time to ourselves Sunday evening/Monday but I'm worried this will cause hurt feelings!

Does your DH normally pussyfoot around other people and let them trample all over him in your own house?!

Literally nobody on this thread things your SIL/FIL are being reasonable. Why are you not speaking ti them and saying, ‘no-this isn’t what we planned!’?
