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.

He's pretty angry indeed (that I'm taking a picture instead of snuggling him)

A small yellow haired dog stretched out on a couch, looking really comfy

We've had this little goober for exactly a week, and I would fucking die for her.

She looks like a true potato delight!

I have a potato.

He loves to do trust falls. You have to be ready to catch this potato at a moments notice.

Fat cat laying on it's side/back with paws in the air

A potato is a potato, regardless of animal type.

He loves belly rubs, clamours for attention just like a dog. He's basically a dog.

ah yes, the south carolina derp hound, I have one of those.

I give my dog a treat. She drops some on the ground. I point at it and say "What's this?" She sniffs every part of the ground around my hand. I pick up the piece of treat and hold it under her nose. "What's this?!" She frantically sniffs around my wrist. She never finds the leftover treat bits.

Potate.
