All about dogs - dog breeds, dog training and behavior, news affecting dog owners or handlers, puppy pics, etc.

Rules (Will be refined later on).

  1. 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.

  2. No personal attacks based on training style or tools.
    Discussion of balanced training including proper use of aversives is allowed here.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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 have a 6 year old golden doodle named Rosie! We just adopted her about a year and a half ago and it’s been a wild ride. I hope yours has more brain cells than mine!

I'm not sure if my Rosie has many braincells. She seems to just copy everything my beagle does, which is okay for the most part. Unless the beagle decides to get into something when I'm not looking lol. Rosie will occasionally look over at me and freak out and run to me all excited. I don't know if she has object permanence lol. She alsojust kinda accepts anything that's happening and goes along with it. She was crate trained in 3 days because she is just cool with whatever.
