"Disboards" for dog owners?

[padams]

We got a puppy last Sunday. Is there an internet message board for dog owners to ask questions about dogs? I have had several questions this week about dogs and would love to find the equivalent of "disboards for dogs".

I have (and have read) several books on raising and training puppies. I've also taken the dog to the vet already. My questions aren't anything big or serious- nothing to bother the vet about but not really answered in the books I have either. Where can I ask puppy questions, or even better, read other people's posts about their puppy experiences?

It's like planning a trip to WDW using several guidebooks, but still wanting to know if I can get my refillable mugs refilled for life, know what I mean?


Thanks!

You may find yahoo groups for your breed also.....

Since we got abby, our bernese mountain dog, I joined a really cool group called the Berner-L.

I wondered this, too, when we adopted a beagle this past May! Thanks for the threads!

Hi,
Another site that has a discussion board is dogoftheday.com

Oooh...very cool post since I got two puppies almost 2 months ago. Thanks to all.

I have found that you do the guidance of an experienced dog trainer, if you run into trouble, which I did with one of my pups.
I thought I was doing things right. I read/watched things, I have had dogs before, etc...But I had gotten a "fearful" puppy and needed professional advice.
He is doing very well now. Just a few more things to work out.

I had read alot and watched Cesar Millan on National Geographic Channel (good program about Dog Behaviors/thinking/lessons on "Pack Status").
I also have found that the show "Barking Mad" on Animal Planet to be interesting sometimes.

Have fun with the new addition!
