Maybe, maybe not... It entirely depends on the details of the current relationship and how similar you expect the future one to be.

If a person's family are a bunch of assholes who would try the patience of a saint, then how they treat them only reflects on how they'll treat you if you're an asshole who would try the patience of a saint.

Definitely appreciate this LPT. Had to put my childhood cat down, had him until I was 20 years old. I have very few videos/pictures of him (granted, smartphones weren't much of a thing for most of his life).

Definitely wish I had more.

I literally was doing this exact thing when this notification came through.

Never assume your student knows anything. Sometimes students will not feel comfortable asking for more detailed information, or will not even realize that they don’t know the things they don’t know. I like to imagine I’m teaching the skill to my elderly mom - I need to give her all the background info and really explain each step. If your student is picking up on things super quickly, you can adjust your style.

If they were abused, no you can't. Unless you planning to also abuse them. Everything in context.

When i was being taught, my trainer was effusive with the praise. He said "that's exactly right". "you make a great point".

And he pointed out what I was doing wrong with "it seems". That helped him give the correction, without making me feel stupid. "It seems you were going for this, but you got this instead"

You should be more concerned with how this person treats strangers. Family brings a lot of baggage and maybe you’re not able to process it yet.

I dont know if its ever so black and white as either of your opinions. I have a friend who’s bf was super friendly in the beginning but grew up in an abusive family and he responds to any and all criticism or arguments or disagreements with aggressive defensiveness. hes a friendly enough person in any other situation but ive seen the way his family treats him and his response is clearly influenced.

that said.. my friend is rather soft spoken and her concerns are completely run over whenever she brings them up because this guy is so overwhelmingly defensive its unreasonable.

its a nuanced situation. to your opinion youd be right looking at how he defends himself in his family situation as it is totally how this guy copes with criticism.

but on the other side he knows his knee jerk reaction and theyre in therapy to work on better ways to communicate. its not an insurmountable situation. everyone has the opportunity to grow if they so choose.

This hasn’t been my experience at all. I know many people who unfortunately suffered at home and they are not rude, harsh or unkind to anyone.

Take lots of videos. You will want to watch them later and they will bring you joy again. I've been through this with five cats so far. You will appreciate doing it later.

This is just not correct.

Not every relationship is the same.

You can't possibly gage how someone might maintain a future close personal relationship based on how they maintain a current close personal relationship, got it.

Not a tip, but if you want to continue at teaching, looking into a train the trainer course, they are short but give great guidance on the best way to get your knowledge across

You cannot base your opinions on someone based on how their family treats one another. Several times people grow up with abuse and keep things short and closed off for a reason

Its raining..

Never ran into that and I’ve been doing it for years.

For my special needs dog Simone, I made up a particular song I often sang to her when we were snuggling and happy.

When she was at the vet that final time, I sang that song into her ear.

Mine sings something that sounds like A Pirates Life for Me when done and I don't hate it

If it is on max heat, it might make the plastic soft and mark clothing. I’m only entertaining hypotheticals

Junior Varsity. Second rate essentially.

This is a rental, so the manual either is with the owner or got tossed. I’ll try online again — I did once before but got distracted by prices and never followed through.
