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.
When we got the puppy who was at a few months already a little bigger than the cat, we avoided trimming her claws for about a month prior. When the dog was nearby and she was nonchalantly cleaning her paws we used to joke that she was "ready'in the bitch slappin' paw!" While it certainly wasn't the only way we acclimated them to each other, fucking around and finding out was an important part of the puppy's early chilhood education.
Are ju talkin' to me?
