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.

He's either violating the laws of physics or he has a clone that lives on the other side of town.
My dog Charlie this morning for reference purposes:
Being a failed clone that was rejected from a science lab does explain why he is extremely stupid.
He truly is a woof from home type of dog.
Look at those paws. LOOK AT THEM. Berner puppies are so stinkin' cute
The apartment complex finally got around to assembling the picnic tables they've had in storage for years. We moved one to what we lovingly now refer to as the back porch and furball loves it.
