Forum Rules | 1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule. |

| So picture this: a couple of college guys hanging out, watching some cheesy action movie, drinking a few beers and in walks my buddy with his 10 week lab. We all go "dude that's a cool puppy" and do that whole jazz. Okay, now fast forward 30 minutes. The guy and his puppy are playing on the floor. Just kind of tug-a-war with a rope, wrestling, doing all that good stuff. Then suddenly the puppy gets all worked up and bites his hand. No big deal, he gets up and leaves the puppy. 15 minutes later they are playing again and the puppy starts humping his arm and then bites him (playfully but still kinda hard). So he grabs his puppy, lays on top of him and bites his ear. WTF?! I have never heard a puppy scream so loud. So I'm sitting there flabbergasted by the fact that to "show dominance" he pinned the dog and bit his ear. Has anyone ever heard of something like this? It seems kind of....odd. Like it would promote rough play.

| Forcing a puppy that young to submit in such a rough and cruel manner will most likely cause fear, fear aggression, and distrust. Big no no. Puppies that young don't know all the aspects of dominance, and plus, the dominance theory between dogs and humans is outdated. A dogs goal in life isn't to dominate it's human, IMO. I feel bad for the puppy. That's abuse in my eyes |

| I agreed. I didn't like it and could never see treating Vegeta that way. Luckily the puppy got over it and is fine right now and is currently laying with the guy on the love seat. I just hope the puppy doesn't grow up distrusting or something if that is a common occurrence between them. |
