Wanted to write on here as I couldn’t find anything that was specific to me and the situation.

I have a one year year-old cane corso who is the most loving Dog you’ve ever meet whenever we let him off with dogs on the occasion he is so submissive and it’s a gentle giant however when we see dogs on the street and he is on leash, he gets extremely reactive and box and growls and starts the pull however if he did get the opportunity to go over to them he would be submissive and show no signs of aggression. I am working on this by when we see a dog before he has the opportunity to bark or get worked up. I let him see the Dog calling back to me and offer him a high value treat. Let him see the dog again before he does anything and then eyes back to me and he gets another treat and then we carry on walking, which is going well. However, I’m not sure what to do on the occasion where he does react like today we had two great instances of him looking at the Dog and attention back to me without any reactivity then we had one issue where we were just leaving the house which I understand may have a part of it as he may be feeling territorial as he is at the front door and I know that they’re all gonna be times where we take a step back and I am proud of him for having two good steps forward today even with one step back but w

Hello everyone… today, December 29th, I had to say goodbye to my pug, Birba. He was almost 14 years old and had been very ill lately: he was demented, barked constantly, couldn't walk, couldn't chew well, and had an infected tooth that was causing infections. He was covered in mucus, had difficulty breathing, and peed and pooped on himself. Together with the vet, we decided to euthanize him because he was still suffering and there was nothing we could do. It was devastating; he was my world, and my family was his. I miss him so much and can't stop thinking about him. I don't want any dogs for a while because the pain is too great, but I feel the need to share my grief with people who understand what it means to love a pug. If you have similar stories or advice on how to cope with the loss of a senior dog, I would love to read your experiences.

Thank you so much ❤️

Getting a dog on the 2nd (we hope.) One issue I had with the last dog we tried was that I have a trick bladder. Sometimes, I will have to go every 15 minutes. What I ended up doing with the other dog was crating her at night because otherwise, she simply would not come back to bed with me. But I know she loved sleeping with me too.

How should I approach this so that nightmare doesn't happen again? And should I buy the crate while I'm buying the food and all of that or should I wait and see if I'll even need it?

Ideally, I want the dog to sleep on my bed with me and when I get up, it… doesn't. It just stays asleep or at least stays upstairs and not deciding to go exploring at 3am, lol.

Has anyone tried these? I found them on Amazon. They’re called pawaura freeze dried chicken treats. Usually get Stewart freeze dried treats but these are lot cheaper.

Bailee Boo has somehow collected a résumé of talents we never trained on purpose….

She can:

Shake both paws (not just one)

High-five like she invented it

Sit pretty and hold it until you laugh

Sneeze on cue (??? still don’t know how that happened)

Lie completely upside down and smile like she knows she’s being watched

None of these were trained formally. They just… appeared over time.

She’s also deeply offended if you stop petting her too soon and will stare directly into your soul until you resume.

I’m convinced dogs quietly observe us and then decide what personality to download.

What’s the weirdest or most specific thing your dog does that you never trained?…

Has anyone here had any direct experience with Rangel Kennels in Rialto, CA?

I wasn’t able to find a website, so I’m just curious how they operate. Do they allow in-person visits, or do they mainly arrange shipping for their dogs?

Also, if anyone knows, what are the dogs’ living conditions like—are they mostly house dogs living with the owners, or are they primarily kept in outdoor/kennel setups?

Hi! So my dog has been doing this thing like once a day for the past couple of days. She will wiggle on her back and pant while putting her paws over her eyes. I can't attach the video right now but it's been a bit concerning. We don't know if this is just a thing she does or if we should seek medical attention for her. We adopted her a month ago so we're still getting to know her.

I've already sent an email to our vet with the video I took so we are waiting to see if they tell us to take her in. Just wanted another perspective.

I'm picking up my puppy in a couple weeks. We have three flight legs. All things working perfectly we fly out at 5 am for 2.5 hours – 1-hour layover, 3.5-hour flight – 2-hour layover 1.5 hour flight and home

She's tiny. Will easily fit in a carry-on "crate" under the seat.

What should I bring? I mean, she's a baby so chew toys will be kind of big for her and so new to her as to be useless. I probably want to with hold food? Save water for layovers.

Anything I can do to make the experience as peaceful as possible?

According to the airline there's an extra charge? $150. When do I do that? I need to call the airline tomorrow haha.

I've read many many posts but most of them are years old.

Any tips would be appreciated. Thank you!

I don’t really post on reddit, but my family’s dog ripped out a toenail on her front paw three days ago and i’m overly anxious.

we went to the vet and everything and they gave us a cone and advice: covered with a non-permeable barrier when outside, and then leave open to air with no covering indoors.

They said the cone was the right size for her, and we have it attached to her collar so it’s a little stiffer, but this dog is able to push the cone in a way where she is still able to lick.

She already hates the current cone and gets frustrated so i think a larger one is out of the question, are there any other solutions out there?

(I don’t think this falls into veterinary advice but if so I will take the post down)

Please read before posting or commenting

This FAQ exists to clarify how this subreddit works, why certain rules exist, and what we expect from participants. Everything below is already reflected in the subreddit’s About, Rules, and Posting Guidelines sections.

---

What kind of community is r/dogtraining?

r/dogtraining is a support forum focused on dog training and behavior using a least intrusive, minimally aversive (LIMA) approach.

This is stated directly in the subreddit’s Welcome section and rules.

That means:

• Advice is grounded in learning theory, behavior science, and animal welfare research
• Methods that rely on pain, fear, startle, intimidation, or coercion are not permitted
• The emphasis is on effectiveness and minimizing risk and fallout

This is a defined scope, not a judgment of individuals.

Why aren’t all training methods allowed? Isn’t this censorship or an echo chamber?

No. It’s scope + safety.

This is a support forum, not a debate stage. Dog training advice affects real dogs and real people. Allowing aversive or force-based methods in a general advice space creates several problems:

• High risk of misuse by inexperienced owners
• Conflicting guidance that confuses people who are already overwhelmed
• Normalization of techniques with known behavioral fallout

Because of that, this community limits advice to methods that are:

• Evidence-based
• Least intrusive
• Appropriate to give safely at scale

Philosophical debates about training styles belong elsewhere. This subreddit exists to help people train dogs, not litigate methodology.

Why is moderation so strict for a dog training sub?

Because dog training spaces are uniquely prone to:

• Persistent myths (dominance, “alpha” theory, outdated punishment models)
• Anecdotal advice presented as fact
• Emotionally charged, high-stakes situations involving fear or aggression

Moderation here exists to:

• Prevent unsafe or harmful advice from spreading
• Keep guidance consistent with current science
• Protect dogs and owners from avoidable fallout

Moderators are volunteers doing ongoing triage, not enforcing ideology.

Why was my post removed or held for review?

ALL POSTS CREATED ARE MANUALLY REVIEWED. When you create a new post, your post will be placed in our review queue. Yes, it can take up to a day to review a post. Your post will receive a comment from our automod bot with a link to the approval guide. if you do not complete the approval guide instructions, your post may be rejected.

Common reasons your post may be rejected include:

• The question is already addressed in the wiki or pinned resources
• Required information was missing
• The advice requested falls outside the LIMA/force-free scope
• The post didn’t follow posting or flair guidelines

Posts may also sit in review during high-volume periods, holidays, or emergencies. That’s a capacity issue, not a personal one.

Why am I expected to read the wiki and guidelines first?

Because effective behavior change requires context.

Dog behavior depends on:

• Environment and management
• Learning history
• Reinforcement patterns
• Stress, health, and daily routines

The wiki exists so advice doesn’t start from zero every time. Reading it helps you:

• Ask better questions
• Understand the advice you receive
• Avoid common mistakes that slow progress

Why isn’t the community more “hand-holding”?

This is not personal. Our volunteer moderators are not playing favorites, and we’re not judging anyone.

However:

• Much of the advice here comes from professionals with decades of experience
• That expertise is shared for free
• We expect people seeking help to put in some effort by reading, reflecting, and trying the provided resources

If someone needs step-by-step, individualized coaching or is unwilling to engage with the freely available materials, a public forum is not the right tool. In those cases, working directly with a qualified professional and paying for their time is appropriate.

This is also stated plainly in the Welcome section.

Are professionals here trying to “prove” force-free training works?

No one is trying to win arguments.

This community uses LIMA/force-free methods because they:

• Are effective
• Are supported by learning science
• Carry the lowest risk of harm
• Are appropriate for public advice

The goal is outcomes with minimal fallout, not ideological purity.

Is disagreement allowed?

Yes, within scope.

Allowed:

• Discussion about implementation
• Differences in reinforcement strategies
• Management choices
• Learning theory applications

Not allowed:

• Promoting dominance-based or aversive methods
• Rebranding punishment as “just information” or “balanced”
• Arguing against the subreddit’s foundational rules

Disagreement is fine. Ignoring the rules is not.

What if this community isn’t a good fit for me?

That’s okay.

Not every space is for everyone. You're not going to hurt anyone's feelings by deciding this isn't the space for you. We encourage anyone who feels that the rules here are a hard pass to find other communities that better suit your personal preferences. That said, if you choose to engage here, you will be expected to do so within the scope of the rules. Content that breaks the rules will not be approved, and you might get a rule reminder. We're happy to provide you with education and resources should you wish to learn more about alternatives to using escape/avoidance for behavior modification.

Bottom line

These rules exist to:

• Protect dogs
• Protect owners
• Respect the unpaid labor of contributors
• Keep advice clear, consistent, and low-risk

Boundaries aren’t about control. Boundaries keep relationships healthy.
Enforcing those boundaries is our responsibility.
