A community about dogs.

Breeds, tips and tricks about training and behaviour, news affecting dog owners, canine photography, dog-related art and any questions related to dog ownership.

Rules

  1. Posts must be related to dogs or dog ownership and must not be void of content.
  2. This is a neutral space. No bigotry or personal attacks. Criticism should be polite and constructive.
  3. No automated content. This includes AI generated imagery, post body, articles, comments or automated accounts.
  4. No advertising or self-promotion.
  5. Illegal or unethical practices are frowned upon, and any comments or posts suggesting them will be removed. This includes, but is not limited to, backyard breeding, ear and tail cropping, fake service animals, negative reinforcement, alpha/pack/dominance theory, and eugenics.
  6. No judging or attacking community members who care for dogs with cropped ears, docked tails, or those from puppy mills or questionable sources. While we discourage these practices (per Rule 5), all dogs deserve loving homes and compassionate care regardless of their background or physical alterations.
  7. No breed discrimination, all breeds welcome. Our stance matches the ASPCA's official stance and is not up for debate.
  8. Citing your sources when making a claim is encouraged. Misinformation will be removed.

see now that actually sounds like a real security upgrade from tech

I sleep soundly through all the creaks and groans of the house at night because if it were actually something to worry about, the dog will (probably) start barking

i Don't feel secure at the thought of jeff bezos having a servers full of footage of the view from my neighbors porch.

My dog knows the difference in sounds of “cars that belong in the neighborhood” and “delivery vehicles”. As well as the footfalls of people he knows and people he doesn’t. Middle of the night and my kid’s friend hits the first basement stair to head up and leave? BARKBARKBARKBARK
