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.

Thought an actual dog post would be a nice break from the AI slop

*edit: Her snoot has been booped, and she has been notified of her online admirers.

Teddy was staring at us. He wanted to go for a walk.

Pets are adorable companions, but sometimes they do things that make their owners question reality. From bizarre food choices to seemingly supernatural experiences, the animal kingdom is full of surprises.

Dogs have inherited their sleeping habits from their wild ancestors.

Factors like body temperature, safety, and emotional security influence how they sleep. A dog’s preferred position can also change based on their environment, health, and overall well-being.
