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 mostly tell my dog how stinky she is, but yeah. She loves that.

She doesn't seem amused. But in fairness I have a horrible singing voice.

My dog would put his paw to my mouth whenever I sang. I think because my mother thought it was hilarious

Dog: my human acts very foolish sometimes and I am not sure if they even have a single brain cell. Today, they confused me with a drum and sang loudly and out of tune. But they did interact with me that way and I love them in all their goofiness.

“Dogs are dumb” says the person who spends 5/7ths of their life to feed and shelter the dog.

Dog is king. You are slave.

5/7ths of their life

so, their whole life?

DUMB KING

SMART SLAVE

I've read enough Roman plays to know how this works

I'm pretty sure I've outwitted some of my dogs in similar ways too

This is exactly what I do with my dogs. I had no idea it was a common thing.
