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.

How many neighbors stop to say ‘hi’?
(I know I would! What smart and dignified pooch!)
About 50-50. And when I tell them "we're facing our fears today!" They know not to get too close.
Try "you're facing your fears today" for an even stronger reaction!
We’re fearing your face today
"LOOK OUT! THAT DOG IS A CLOWN IN DISGUISE!"
I'd say, "You're about to face your fears today." Add a little pending doom!
