They are just so grateful and social. They always want to be included.

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 always feel so guilty when I’m watching TV, my dogs are fast asleep but jump up to join in the fun when I stand up… only for me to walk the 10 steps to the fridge, grab a beer, then back to the couch again.
Dude the fucking dog in the picture looks exactly like my GSD and I can't move one micron without her scrambling to my side
This is my life.
Unlike my shepherds in the past, at least my new dog (not a shepherd) doesn't follow me to the bathroom
And the i give him pets, and maybe some cheese
I stand up and go to the toilet and my dog follows so she can get pets.
