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).
-
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.

To take care of the scent aspect, you should always leave several used and unwashed laundry items around the place, anything that has made direct contact with your skin for hours.
Bedsheets sounds like a good idea, too; sleep in them for a few days and then leave them where your dog (or cat) spends most time.
Here's an idea for added concentration: mash both concepts together, put some used t-shirts under the bedsheets for a few days and nights, sleep with them under the covers, before placing them lying around the place.
