r/dogs is way too American. Although training methods, breed characteristics etc are much the same, the environment, situations, etc can be very different. It would be great to chat with fellow UK dog owners about the little legends and share nice UK walks, dog friendly pubs etc.

  1. As the leading UK “ask” subreddit, we welcome questions from all users and countries; sometimes people who ask questions might not appreciate or understand the nuance of British life or culture, and as a result some questions can come across in a different way than intended.

    We understand that when faced with these questions, our users may take the opportunity to demonstrate their wit, dry humour, and saracasm – unfortunately, this also tends to go over the heads of misunderstood question-askers and can make our subreddit seem hostile to users from other countries who are often just curious about our land.

    **Please can you help prevent our subreddit from becoming an Anti-American echo chamber?** If you disagree with any points raised by OP, or OP discusses common tropes or myths about the UK, please refrain from any brash, aggressive, or sarcastic responses and do your best to engage OP in a civil discussion, with the aim to educate and expand their understanding.

    If you feel this (or any other post) is a troll post, *don’t feed the troll*, just hit report and let the mods deal with it.

  2. No, because they find it difficult to use keyboards and touchscreens, and voice recognition software doesn’t work that well for them

  3. I’m curious as to the answer.

    I unsubbed from /r/dogs (and a couple of breed specific subs) after one too many arguments about people justifying chopping bits off their dogs….

    There’s a few too many fundamental differences of opinion.

  5. Not been on that in a long time for similar reasons. It seemed like most of the problems stemmed from living in huge suburbs where the only place to take your dog is a specific fenced in dog park.

    I wondered if they drive the dogs there too. Seemed like this kind of life leads to understandable behaviour issues.

  7. It’s the same for cats, you mention an outdoor cat and the American user’s go mad! They don’t get we don’t have coyotes or bears!
