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.

It means we'll get some damn peace at home lol

And it's a fact that dogs alternate between graceful and goofy when they run.

I'M FAST AS FUCK, BOY

I work in dog boarding, this is the highlight of my days when one or two dogs just lose their shit and sprint full speed around the yard. It's wonderful when it's some little tiny boy with his tiny little legs, and it's SCARY when it's a great dane or a cane corso with their massive muscle strapped bodies

Dogs always look so happy when they run

My dog does this hilarious thing when he basically like jumps in the air when he’s suddenly realised something when running full speed, like we didn’t throw his toy or there’s an interesting smell. He looks like a bunny hopping through a field lol
