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.

Fireworks are very bad this year. We tried some kind of brownie that was $5 bucks and supposed calm him and a product called July 3. Both did not work. What is your best product for dogs and calming them during fireworks?

I hate fireworks. It not only distrubs dogs and cats, but PTSD war vets can get spooked. Not only that, but wild animals abandon their babies because they get spooked, then the babies die. It sucks. I have no advice for your pooch. Maybe just try to be with him and comfort him so he knows it's going to be okay.
