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.

Cute little puppy. Maybe not so easy to take care of

Don't lie. Your dog heard the treat bag and ran off so fast that its fur momentarily stayed behind before zooming off in tow.

I hope the dog saw this and just assumed this is what loose hair does sometimes.

Hahaha, I was wondering if it might trick him when he got back in (I let him outside when we were done), but he walked right through it to lay down on his bed 😆

Fr, haha, thankfully he is a very patient boy! Only part he hates is his back legs (I call those his pants), I swear that hair is specially designed to dread together
