Dogs
All about dogs - dog breeds, dog training and behavior, news affecting dog owners or handlers, puppy pics, etc.
Rules (Will be refined later on).
-
Don't be a dick. This should cover most things, just keep in mind that everyone started somewhere and try to be helpful rather than rude or judgmental.
-
No personal attacks based on training style or tools.
Discussion of balanced training including proper use of aversives is allowed here. -
All breeds and mixes are welcome. You can criticize backyard breeding practices but don't pile on people because they own a specific breed or prefer purebreds or mixed breeds.
-
Do not support backyard breeders or puppy mills. Please do not link to or suggest buying from high volume breeders or those with an obvious lack of standards and testing.
-
Do not help or support fake service animals. Please do not encourage people to buy fake service dog vest or ESA letters to get around rental or other restrictions & do not give advice on how to misrepresent a dog as a service or support animal.

Apparently I am the only person whose dog responds to "Whatcha got? Watcha chewing on?" with the dog spitting it out.
I'm going to miss this dog when I learn most don't do that.
My dog is very responsive and if I tell him to not eat something he usually spits it out or leaves it alone.
I don't know why, but it's like 50/50 with my dog. Sometimes he's really good about it and sometimes he runs away chewing.
Depends on how much he's enjoying it.
