All about dogs - dog breeds, dog training and behavior, news affecting dog owners or handlers, puppy pics, etc.

Rules (Will be refined later on).

  1. 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.

  2. No personal attacks based on training style or tools.
    Discussion of balanced training including proper use of aversives is allowed here.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.
