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.

I have heard people talking completely seriously about their concerns over giving their dogs autism from vaccinations.
Some people should be made to apologize to every tree they come across for flagrantly wasting the oxygen they so kindly provide us.
Seriously. What the hell is dog autism? I don't know a dog out there that is able to understand social cues and most of them don't want to look you in the eye.
I’m honestly quite suspicious that people who think their dogs have autism actually just have autism themselves.
Not nice to associate autistic people with idiots like that.
