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.

Dogs disembowel their toys because that's what they would do to an animal in the wild in order to get to the meaty goodness inside.
She kills a lot of critters in the back yard (we have a dog door, so she can go chase them whenever she wants) but surprisingly never disembowels them (and rarely eats them too). I don't get it.
She does "kill" her toys the same way she kills critters- grabbing them by the head and shaking them as hard as she possibly can.
Looks and sounds like lab behavior. Though I'm sure other dogs do the same. I had a lab mix growing up that was great at catching just about everything, but got bored once they stopped moving.
