Dogs
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.

That's usually a sign of discomfort
Or boredom or laziness or fear or confusion or curiosity or they farted or...
or guilt. mine does that when she knows she did something wrong (usually jumping up on the counter and eating the butter, eating spent tampons, or getting on the furniture)

yeah uhh.. we don't know either. totally agree that its weird and disgusting.
My pup would do that if he could reach the bin.
I highly recommend a push-pedal trash bin that doesn't open when knocked over--our first pup was taller and a jumper.
please read Kyles summary above. nothing about body language is that straightforward.
