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.

About two weeks ago, we got about 8” to 10”s of snow in south Louisiana. Being my dog was short haired, I was initially concerned he would hate it. But boy, was I wrong, it was hard to get him to even come back inside once he started playing.

Same in NE Illinois.

I’m used to a foot of snow for most of winter, we had like 2 inches for a couple of weeks. And then freezing rain the other night.

I miss winter

Yeah, here in the Southeast we got blasted. Saw a metrologist showing off a national map with snowfall since the first of January and it was like:

  • Anchorage, Alaska: 4 inches
  • Detroit, Michigan: 5.5 inches
  • Lafayette, Louisiana 11 inches

Craziness.
