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 make my dogs fresh cooked meals once a day, and they have Kibbles n Bits the rest of the day if they want more. They pretty much leave the kibble alone except once in a while when the husky is particularly hungry.

If their taste buds are even a remotely similar to ours, I definitely understand this. I wouldn't wanna eat the kibble either. It smells weird. It probably tastes gross. The chicken, rice and veggie combo I make is good even without seasoning (though if I was making it for me I am definitely seasoning it).

But then they can't get enough milkbones, which are just hard tack biscuits (essentially just flour and water). ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ
