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.

Hi! I’m nearly nine weeks old and arrived at my new home two days ago. I already know the door to outside where I should do my business, but I don’t make it half of the time. But humom and hudad are still proud of me. I’m very sweet but miss my litter mates at night. My humom now wonders how she can best survive the first week and help me through it at the same time.

Hi Lizzie 👋. What a darn adorable face you have. I hope you don’t end up chewing too much furniture in the future when the teething starts!

Ohh I already love chewing furniture. But my humom and -dad are very strict. Unfortunately for me they are very alert and tell me time and time again I’m not allowed to do that. That I have to use chew sticks and antler instead.
