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).

  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.

Awww! With my dog it's the opposite. He's always crawling on top of us to lay down.

The gf has always had issues with letting myself be the dogs and kids jungle gym. She doesn't see the irony in letting the cat on her lap, how gross hair balls weekly are, why the bed is gross when you let the cat on it... So much.

But oh the moment something approaches twenty pounds is off limits? Nah, fuck that. Just...

STOP! You just not hop on pop!

He's a 9 month, 57 lb lab. Sometimes it's cute. Sometimes not as much lol.

I think it's their way of checking if we still love them.

Dogs.

They're the kind of people people should be.

Not just dogs. A lot apes and primates can be the same. I remember Robert Sapolsky, a primatolgist and a neuroscientist say that if you live with gorillas in their natural habitat for a few years, you might become calm as a zen buddhist monk. Personally, I find elephants to be amazing.

On the other hand I once watched a group of juvenile chimpanzees in a zoo enclosure hanging out near a pair of double doors sunk into the hillside like an old-fashioned wine cellar, which I assume was the keeper's entrance. One of them, running laps around the door up and down the hill in a style I can only describe as zoomies, was yelling like mad until coming around, down the slope when in passing he reached into the lap of another fellow, sitting one leg over the side wall on the concrete. At the same moment he pivoted, lept over the wall and swung the way a child might around the end of a hand-rail, from a fistful of cock and balls. In the process, he sent the poor bastard he had ahold of head over ass into the void only to faceplant howling into the dirt while the onlookers guffawed as theough it was a scene straight out of Jackass.

I do my best, but people always get upset when I greet them by sniffing their butt. 🤷🏻‍♂️
