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 keep seeing websites about Chiweenies saying that they are smart dogs that are very trainable, both of which are lies in the case of Charlie.

And this isn't a puppy. He's 2. He's experienced summer and bees before. He's just extremely stupid.

My cousin told me she calls them "spicy flies," but this is better.

My Jack Russell mix hunts carpenter bees which is awesome. But she also hunts other bees which is as pictured above. lol. I have to say "danger bug!" when she's chasing one that's going to sting her, and she knows to back off. She's starting to learn the difference on her own.

He looks just like our lab chihuahua mix. Our dog sits around with his tongue out like that all the time. He's smart, but a dork.

My territorial Pyrenees mix keeps trying to bite the bees, but lucky for him, they're quicker and can jump a lot higher!
