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.

Aww I love him! Those ears! The smile!
That's adorable! Does he rest his snoot on his ball regularly? I'd feed him waay too many treats
He's a big "no take only throw" kinda boy. But he sits like this and makes you feel bad for not throwing.
I think that for these type of dogs, the 'game' is not letting you get the ball. That face is saying "go on... Go on, try and take it!"
Keep away. with a side of wrestling and fetch.
OP, give 'em some skritches for me.
Effective emotional manipulation indeed
Oh big time.
Gorgeous! I might be biased because he looks like my dog but with slightly different colouring.
A good photo too, looks like you caught him in a moment of calm, but I can imagine the chaos once the ball is thrown.
"hi. im rdy 2 play. R u?"
I love him 😍
