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.
We got back from a long walk, we cuddled after cleaning her paws, she got treats for being a good lady and this is how happy she is. She really must be disappointed living with such neglecting parents ...
shut up and give her more belly rubs already!
(Please? for me, lol)
Will do!
Is she a Pyr?
Looks like it has the extra claw like a pyrenees
No, she's a golden retriever. They look a bit different from the American ones.
Wow, yeah definitely different than what I know as a golden. She’s beautiful.
This is the same look I get 5 minutes after giving a treat.
Like... could you give me ANY credit at all?
Man, I thought this was an RIP post. So glad it's not! Lol
Woops, sorry!
She is a beauty, thanks for sharing made my day!
"I know where you hide the treats from me, Karen"
She's a cutie. Give her some extra cuddles from me.
