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).

  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.

I work in daycare/boarding and I love having the old dogs come in for a visit. We give them extra love because we never know when it'll be the last time we see them

Well just a little bit on sunshine. The doggo doesn't want to over do it.

I always enjoy sunshine in the shade. If I would sit in the sunshine it would burn me and I couldn't enjoy that shit.

I didn't see the community name and was very confused at why someone had to carry their 15 year old daughter to the park and even more confused by the picture of the dog but then it all clicked and now I just feel like a dumbass lmao

Few humans deserve the love that dogs give.
