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.

My dog's favorite game was to have me grab his tail while he gnawed on my wrist until it hurt and I let go. My friends would think I was being mean to him until they saw how he would walk backwards trying to put his tail in my hand when he wanted to play.
He also liked licking my head while I was lying down. He was very thorough about it and when he was done with one side, he would wait for me to roll over so he could lick the other side. (A cat did that to me too once - maybe my hair is tasty?)
