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.

They are just so grateful and social. They always want to be included.

I always feel so guilty when I’m watching TV, my dogs are fast asleep but jump up to join in the fun when I stand up… only for me to walk the 10 steps to the fridge, grab a beer, then back to the couch again.

Dude the fucking dog in the picture looks exactly like my GSD and I can't move one micron without her scrambling to my side

Unlike my shepherds in the past, at least my new dog (not a shepherd) doesn't follow me to the bathroom

I stand up and go to the toilet and my dog follows so she can get pets.
