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.

Tangentially related, but i have taken to sleeping twice per day for around 4-5 hours each very well. I have adhd and at some point during the day I will just mentally crash, in the past I sometimes fell asleep sitting up somewhere (rewarded with wild neck pains of course).

Since deliberately taking a sleep during the day that has been much less of an issue.

I have discussed the need for me to nap after work with my wife.. At first she didn't understand why I should skip the homely duties,.but after explaining my drinking habits just to stay awake, and her own schedule and habits looking the same, we have agreed that we all need a fucking nap. Just 40+ y/o things..
