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.

The trick is to have a dog that's terrified of the car so he just stays in the back panting when he needs to go to the vet.

Ooh. I've had those. Anxious panting sometimes leads to anxious vomit.

A family member has a dog that’s terrified of cars, and that poor thing just freaks the fuck out and barks as loud as he can in the car. They keep a partition and he just fucking goes nuts. Slobbering, barking loud, like crazy loud, as if we’re all in mortal danger.

Mine doesn't go that far thankfully (for us), he's just miserable the entire time.

"I don't like you, either. So you just watch yourself. We're wanted men. I have the death sentence on twelve systems."
