Ashley Hiebing Webboard User Reg: 07-07-2007 Posts: 143 Loc: Madison, Wisconsin Offline	Curious to know if there are any other dog-related forums you guys frequent. I go to a few, but I still like this one the best. Definitely the most level-headed people I've had the pleasure of talking to. Mostly because the other forums are very CLICKERS AND HEAD HALTERS ONLY, if you know what I mean =) (I hope this topic is allowed, I'm not advertising for other places; like I said, this board is my favorite)

More often than not, I end up giving advice based on what I have learned here. I also occasionally give links to this website, especially the RAW feeding sections. That one is more for fun, here is where I come to learn. Shody http://www.pbase.com/shody

Angela Burrell Webboard User Reg: 05-10-2006 Posts: 2273 Loc: Ontario, Canada Offline	I go to a breed specific one that, like Shody's, is more for fun and sharing pics, hunting and show brags, etc. I also go to our breed rescue site when I have room for a foster. They post dogs there that are in shelters in danger of being euthanized or gassed, owner surrenders, or referrals from other rescue groups.

Melissa Blazak Webboard User Reg: 03-15-2002 Posts: 591 Loc: Southern Ontario Offline	I belong to breed specific ones as well. Some are fluff which I don't visit all that often, but one is for hunting and field work, one is for agility, and one is for obedience. They are all quite active with some very knowledgable people on them. I've been a member here for some time (mostly lurking :crazy and have really learned a lot!

Will Rambeau Moderator Reg: 01-25-2003 Posts: 5983 Loc: Idaho Offline	I frequent only one other dog forum that focuses on protection dog training. And it's heavily populated by Leerbug forum folks, which is nice. Other than that I'm on astrobiology forums in my spare time. Most other dog forums allow posters to post under an alias, I dislike that intensely - if someone is afraid to post under their own name, I'm not going to take their opinion seriously.

Mallory Kwiatkowski Webboard User Reg: 11-23-2007 Posts: 947 Loc: Cold-ville, Wisconsin. Offline	i belong to a few other breed specific forums....i like the training aspect of this forum, and the playfulness of the others. Plus, they have a photo section, and a non-doggy conversation section(hint hint ed.....), they have monthly photo and video contests, neat things. but hands down, this is the best training/nutrition forum.

Jennifer Marshal Webboard User Reg: 08-02-2007 Posts: 1078 Loc: Southern Oregon Offline	I frequent two other forums. I don't like general forums or breed specific forums because of the politics involved and people have a tendency to be really snarky. I like training forums where the primary goal is learning and the passing of information, not bragging and advertising show bred litters

Carol Boche Webboard User Reg: 10-30-2005 Posts: 4531 Loc: South Dakota, USA Offline	I belong to a couple other working/protection dog forums as well. Good info on all, and the others have forums for some chit chat too. More often than not I am here though, as this one is where I learn a lot from and, I pop in on the others to see if there is anything of interest. Have not found a specific breed forum that I like so I do not belong to anything like that. Until The Tale of the Lioness is told, the Story will Always Glorfy the Hunter

David C.Frost Webboard User Reg: 01-23-2002 Posts: 1204 Loc: Nashville, TN Offline	I'm on one forum that is police canine only and must be a verified police officer to even view, one that is heavy working dog, (real name only), here and a pet board. Screen names can be used, however I use my own name. I started on that board only because of a discussion that trashed police trainers. You know how we are; making dogs do things they don't want to, that sort of mean things. I stayed primarily to give a different perspective other than timeouts, head halters and neutering everything that walks. That is irritates some of the posters is only an added benefit.
