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.

Be honest, did you name it that so you could say 'Hey Siri' to it and get people to give you funny looks?

Actually, no. Her full name is Serenade ¯_(ツ)_/¯

My corgi would never even think of showing disgust. She skips that step and always hits me with the "Really?! You expect me to go out in this weather?!" Look :D although she's been better now that puberty phases out!

My first dog HATED rain with all her poodle heart. She did all her duties right near the front door and then just dragged her feet behind me while I did my obligatory 20 min route so I don't get yelled at by my parents for not walking the dog enough

Me too Siri, we should've both stayed in bed under a blanket today
