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).

  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.

Honorary mention to my cat, who has not only drank a glass of vermouth while I was in the shower, but knocked over and consumed a much of a bottle of wine, and even tried to get into some gin while I was making a cocktail.

Fortunately, she's just a drunk. She won't touch any people food whatsoever, just insects, kibble, and rodents. I keep her locked in my bedroom while I'm at work now.

Jfc! I've known dogs ans cats that would drink beer if they could, and vermouth kinda makes sense, but gin? That's a little terrifying and a lot interesting.

I love her dearly, but she is the poster child for "different types of intelligence".

She can open semi-round doorknobs, but also sometimes runs headlong into walls until she starts stumbling around woozy.

Lmao! That's such a perfect description.
