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.

I don't know how to explain it, I'm just kind of over her. I guess I'm burned out or something and find myself having a really short fuse. Does this happen to you? I'm really not sure where it's coming from, it's been going on the last three days. It's for no particular reason. I'm sure it'll pass, but I feel bad about it.

Edit: I'll tell you right now it's not gonna be a friendly conversation if you try to shame me for needing some time away from my dog. She's extremely high maintenance, and she's not being neglected either. I'm just burned out. She's a great and loving dog, but she's also a lot of work. I'm not gonna give her up or neglect or whatever. Just gonna take it easy for a few days. It's about time we teach her how to settle down anyways.

Maybe don’t get a dog?

I am sure someone else would be willing to take the dog off your hands and put it in a home where it’s welcome. Go put up an ad on Craig’s list.

What on earth are you talking about?

What on earth are YOU talking about. You off your meds or something?

I haven't the foggiest what you're on about mate. I didn't say anything about not wanting my dog or giving her away.

Are you usually such a cunt, or are you just having a bad day?

Oh my bad. When you come in here saying “I am sick of my dog” it really gives us all loving feelings.

You need to get yourself evaluated.

Lol, sure you're not off your meds? "Gee, abandon your high maintenance dog because you're a little overwhelmed, totally makes sense."

Maybe you're a quitter, do you I guess.

I’m not the genius that got a high maintenance dog and can’t handle it. You sound like someone that makes bad decisions and can’t deal with it. I don’t feel bad for you. I feel bad for your dog having to put up with your shit constantly.
