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.

MODERATORS
Alternatively, embrace chaos and adopt in the raptor phase.
We wanted to adopt an adult dog but fell in love with a Raptor. She's good now but man, never again.
We have a raptor. We call him Garchomp. He doesn't chew, but does chomp.
I hope he settles down at the magic 2 year mark!
Ours wasn't a biter or a chewed. Just too smart for her own good, and if she didn't have enough smart things to do she would find dumb things. Defeated all of the childproof door locks, cabinet locks, baby gates.
