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.

Not my dog. No matter the color of the target, he'll swallow it as soon as he could. Then he'd give us that look: "I know I was bad, but it tasted sooo good."

My golden takes a different approach -

Dispose of the evidence as quickly as possible so no one notices I helped myself, bonus points if I snagged it from one of the kid's plates at my face level.

A few weeks ago, I was dog sitting my brother’s muppet. She’s a quick and sneaky muppet.

I was plating a burger, set out the open bun and turned to get something from the fridge (all of 3 feet away.). She managed to sneak in and swipe the bun top from a (tallish,) counter in the 3 seconds my back was turned.

Dog tax… this muppet:

that there is a look of panic as he realizes it was too big for a single bite and now he has to draw attention to himself to finish it and he might get in trouble

It's in full make up, didn't you notice the tint of their fur? It's all mascara maybe
