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.

Reminds me of when I was around 3 and I picked up a whole baked potato (with a napkin bevause that fucker was piping hot) and yeeted it across the table at my older brother and hit him right in the forehead.
When playing hot potato, you’re not supposed to use a potato that’s actually hot. Usually not even an actual potato.
Had a teacher in high school that was an engineer prior. Recounted stories of playing hot potato with ultra-capacitors that had been wrapped in masking tape until it was vaguely ball like. Then charge it and go till someone caught it wrong.
