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.

Ouch! Was it one of the "for heavy chewers" toys (or whatever they call them?) That was my biggest gripe. This was supposed to be an extra-tough toy.
Initially I got those until I realised for the price they cost, I'd get five cheaper ones that'd get destroyed in total time of two hours, instead of the one toy being destroyed in 1 hour. The "indestructible" toys are total bs lol.
I know that sounds like a savage dog, but he's a Finnish Lapphund. Long story short, super friendly, cautious, intelligent, gentle, and submissive companion working breed, but how they were bred, they eat leftovers and carcasses like wild dogs. So he gets big frozen bones, ribs, etc. everyday. But, every now and then he gets a soft toy and it's a big mental stimulation to rip it apart. The first couple mins is watching him literally explore areas for weak spots to get in, then it rapidly unravels like one of those YT vids of pelple solving Rubix cubes in under 30s.
I'll admit mine's just savage. She's evil, but I love her.
