Epstein allegedly un-aliving himself after Michael Wolff suggests he let Trump metaphorically “hang himself“. Diabolical.

Upon my very first exchange with a potential client, I let it be known that I will not be permitting contentious or adversarial characterizations or language as it relates to their learner. If your goal is to correct or break your companion of something, you’re barking up the wrong tree.
We’ll see if we can get your thinking shifted in time. :) I’m sure it’s an innocent enough turn of phrase similar to “break him of x” but even so we will be better suited to teach him that things are not only not negatively impactful to him but to his benefit if we can understand that this is not an obedience issue. It is an issue of insecurity. Here’s an excerpt from something I wrote about one of my students and it will almost always apply in these situations, along a spectrum: “The most important thing to keep in mind is that we are observing fear-based behaviors. There is something about (trigger) that Tater fears or has associated something he fears WITH (trigger). It is tempting to suppress, “correct”, and reprimand this behavior but these things will only serve to make the fear, conflict, and insecurity more intense. You cannot “correct” the fear out of a dog. Tater is not a reactive dog. He presents reactivity in specific contexts. It’s our job to try to change the context or to PAIR, rather, the context with a consequence.”

There is also this, for anyone who is interested.

DOGS FED ONCE A DAY ARE SMARTER, HEALTHIER & MAY LIVE LONGER "Using observational data from the Dog Aging Project, this is the largest study to date of feeding frequency conducted in companion dogs. We found that adult dogs fed once daily have better average cognitive scores and are less likely to have gastrointestinal, dental/ oral, orthopedic, kidney/urinary, and liver/pancreas health conditions than dogs fed more frequently." - Te Dez-Aging Projed • University of Arizona-led experts analysed data on 24,238 per dogs from the US,| • Being fed once a day lowered the risk of nine types of canine health problems. • These included cancer, dental issucs and either kidney or urinary complications. * Similarly, dogs fed only once daily scored lower on tests of cognitive problems.

Fucking hell.
Many people are struggling to afford pet food, with statistics showing that about 29% of owners worry about feeding their pets due to financial stress. This leads to coping strategies like skipping meals (58% of owners), prioritizing pet needs over their own (over 50%), and even surrendering pets (12% reported this). Other impacts include taking on significant pet debt and relying on pet food pantries.

Part 5: Now if you are the kind of person that insists on allowing your dog to meet other dogs on leash study this ”ladder“. I just generally avoid it summarized in the second infographic. If you are going to do it, try to get 4 on the floor/engagement w/ your person before you cue a greeting.
