Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

    When I was 11 or 12 I had this pet hamster. I forgot to change the water once on a hot summer's day, and I spun it in the wheel when it started to run.

    One day I came home and it had died.

      My first pet-- and she's all mine is Cookie, my Rottweiler. I got her when she was 3 weeks old, on my 17th birthday. She's the cutest thing in the world but her growl can scare your pants off! She growls at other dogs but loves people. Including the pool man who sneaks into our backyard. I'm not sure she understands the whole guard dog thing.




      That's her when she was just a few months old and I was giving her a bath... Now she's a lot bigger.

        but labrador retrievers are SO sweet. they're just so friendly. lol. they go and lick total strangers, which makes them the worst guard dogs ever lol.
        I dont like dogs that jump on everybody, I'd prefer they keep their horny selves away from me. Whenever I visit my friend in Florida, who has a lab, I make her keep the dog in the garage the whole time I'm there, cause all it wants to do is jump on you the minute it sees you, and that dog is too big, it probably would pin me down to the ground. I dont care if you call it animal cruelty, I've had some scary experiences with dogs in the past and i'm not going to risk my life for a dog.

              TigranJamharian there are a couple of things you can do. I would try this. Confine the dog and tell him "Quiet". Ignore all whining and acting up. Wait (yes this can be nerve-wracking) for him to quiet down. After the dog has been quiet for five minutes straight, casually walk in; say "good quiet. Good boy!" and give a treat (if you use them). Next session, increase to 10 minutes, then 15, etc.

              This has worked with every crying puppy and rescue dog I've worked with, and it has the effect of increasing the dog's confidence and comfort level with occasional bouts of solitude.

              Good luck and please let us know how he's coming along.

                lol, he doesn't really jump on people. I mean sure he does get excited, but all he wants you to do is just pet him, and if you don't, he'll just lose interest and go away, and maybe try some time later lol. Labradors have TONS of patience. Mine almost never barks. But he's VERY hyper and he needs lots of attention lol.. and lots of outdoor activities. Which is when I leave the job to my mom haha.

                Bigger dogs tend to be less annoying. My friend has a terrier, and he's very ummm antagonistic to people, especially towards kids, he gets jealous and attacks the kids if you play with them... wtf..

                Anyway, I want to get a Jack Russel Terrier, a Beagle, a German Shepherd, a daschund, and a basset hound. I know... lots of dogs, eh? lol
