What? No one saying you don’t train dogs, just the owners?

I think that’s included in the 368 who argue about terminology. But yes they are always in that thread as well.

I love this K9 and still chuckling. At least one to say their dog is so smart she never needed any training! Have been a member on a dog forum! Just change the title to “how many ways to clothe and clean a bed” and a few words and apply to this forum ( sometimes) HAHA! btw I lovelurk this forum and read endlessly. I promise to post more when my bnb finally is listed<><>

We have a current guest who said she had two Showpony dogs. Google didn’t help. I think they are show dogs of the Chow Chow kind. Anyway with ours they all get on well. I must admit I was a bit excited about this new breed of showpony dog…
