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.

I use a nickname for my youngest cat when she's doing something bad. Now I only need to say that name, and she instantly knows to stop being a little gremlin.
I'm trying that .... shouting BABY is kinda working...but he's named Luci for a reason
Lol. My cats name is Pepper/pepper-jack/ghost pepper...ect, but when she is in trouble, I just say, "PEP!" and she 80+% of the time stops almost instantly and then zooms away howling at the injustice she couldn't climb in the bug tank or eat plastic or jump on the fireplace mantle and knock stuff off. I'm hoping she will mellow out in another year.
