Community guidelines

• No encouraging dog fighting, attack behavior, intimidation, or illegal activity.
• No advice to hit, choke, hang, alpha-roll, pin, starve, terrorize, or deliberately provoke a dog.
• Never tell a member to ignore a bite or avoid necessary veterinary or medical care.
• Never use children to test dog behavior.
• Do not post identifiable minors unless you have the legal authority and consent to do so.
• No puppy sales, stud advertisements, or financial solicitation.
• No harassment, discriminatory abuse, scams, doxxing, or posting private records.

Any post describing a bite, guarding incident, stalking, or a dog and child conflict is answered with a safety response first: separate, secure, seek in-person help. Peer advice does not replace a qualified professional.

Moderators may remove content, restrict posting, or suspend accounts. Every action is logged with a reason, and members are notified. Appeals go through the contact form.
