Doc Dump - G.R.E.E.K.
This could have been finished, but Jack'[s characterization is super off here, ands the amount of fixing it would take didn't feel worth it. I still like Rhys here, being conniving but also faltering under any pressure put on his scheming. But he's able to bounce back a little bit. There's stuff that's okay but, ultimately, nothing really worth finishing myself.
ANY of my dump ideas/paragraphs are welcome for ANYone to use or riff from, by the way, none of this is stuff I'll be personally visiting again.
Desr mr ahnbsom,

Class of XXXX
Considering his daughter just got back from the Alpha Kappa Psi party thirty minutes ago - when Jack plopped her drunk ass into her bed - he doubts this.
Maybe that’s harsh. He believes this kid is sick, sure, but he doubts it’s the flu. It is, after all, September.
Jack looks over the sender’s name - Rhys Strongfork, one of his Algorithms and Programming students - before punching out a reply.
Rhys,
We both know your frat had a monster banger tonight and we both know if you’re sick, it’s not the flu. But if you bring me a dose of whatever the fuck you took tonight, I’ll consider not dropping your grade a letter. But only if it doesn’t kill me. Come to class.
-Jack
The next day starts, Jack trudges into his office as per usual, and at the top of his inbox is another email from Rhys.
Mr. Lawrence,
Thank you for responding to my email from last night. Please see the attached image of my diagnosis as well as a record of my hospital discharge. I will be attending class this afternoon.
I look forward to seeing you.
Best Regards,
Rhys Strongfork

Class of 2023
As said, attached is a photo of the kid in the hospital, an IV plugged into his arm and making dumbass finger guns while he’s at it. Jack was at least kind of right about the drugs - kids eyes are more glazed than the donuts Jack had for breakfast. There’s also a picture of the doctor's note with Rhys’ name, time of admission and discharge, and the word ‘influenza’.
Well, shit, Jack muses as he sips his coffee in his office. He kicks his chair away from his desk and peeks out his open office door to his neighbors open office door. “Hey, Al,” Jack calls to Hammerlock, “you get any ‘sick notes’ from any A-K-Psi?”
“Oh, just the usual,” he says, not looking up from his papers, “Food poisonings, actual poisonings, car troubles, spontaneously dying relatives - that Richter boy in my anthrozoology course actually told me he’d gotten-”
“The flu?”
“Worse,” Hammerlock turns to look at Jack, quirking an eyebrow (the one with the real eye under it, not the glass one), “Simiae Encephalomyelitis.” He laughs to himself because Jack doesn’t get it. “I’ll give him this, his research paper is going to be wonderfully thorough.”
Jack pulls back to his desk again, looking at the email one more time - it looks legitimate enough, and the kid even said he’d be in today. No harm, no foul, right?
Rhys,
Judging by your picture and the absolute wreck that was your first email, I’m rescinding my request for sharesies. See you this afternoon.
-Jack
---
For a kid who’d just spent the night in a hospital for the sniffles, Rhys Strongfork is chipper today.
Jack’s supervising the computer lab as his students work on their algorithms - he’s booked the lab for three hours, double the class time, so his students have the time to get their independent projects done without any ‘there isn’t enough tiiiime’ bullshit. But every once in a while, his head comes up from his own work to find Rhys fishing for his gaze. Kid gives him a more-than-friendly smile, then returns to work. He even winked at Jack. More than once.
It’s not unusual. He’s not the only student who looks. Jack doesn’t make a habit of palling around with 20-somethings, but gossip about his hair, smile, eyes, jawline, shoulders, back, and the less appropriate… well, it gets around. Between him and the western civ teacher, it is he, Jack Lawrence, who earned the name Handsome Jack.
It’s the boldness, specifically from Rhys, that’s new. It’s not unwelcome - the kid’s got good taste. And he’s been awake for less than 12 hours, so there might still be some wiggle-room for behavioral judgement at the moment. It’s definitely affecting how much work he’s doing, if he’s spending most of his class time smiling at Jack.
Jack’s phone goes off when the three hour mark hits. He waves a hand towards the door. “If anyone still needs more in-class time, you’re S.O.L until next week,” he says above the squeaking chairs, zippers, and log-out chimes. “Unless you go book a timeslot now before it’s the end of the semester and you’re screwed.”
“It’s not even October,” he hears one of his students grumble.
“Cry more, children,” he sings without looking up from his own monitor, ignoring the following groans.
I hand them this class on a silver platter and they still whine about it, Jack thinks, rolling his eyes. He told them all of this on the first day of classes. Gave them the whole rundown, even held their hands through the syllabus he’d sent out. And a third of these ingrates left when the official class period ended.
He wraps up his class notes, logs out… and when he looks up, sees Rhys. Only Rhys, the rest of the class has cleared out, and he’s taking his sweet time packing up.
“Back on your feet, pumpkin?” Jack asks, watching his student lazily slip his things into his satchel.
“Ehhh, off and on,” Rhys shrugs, still with the smug little smirk on his face. Jack doesn’t like it.
“Seemed pretty bad for the sniffles.”
“I have a delicate immune system,” Rhys simpers, looking again as Jack grabs his stuff. He grins wider. “And a secret.” He zips the satchel, as if timed.
“...Well, good for you,” Jack says, taking the last swig of coffee from his thermos as he opens the door for himself. “I’ll see you next week.”
“W-wha,” Rhys stammers, startled, “wait, you-”
“Listen, cupcake,” Jack stops and looks at him, “you said it was a secret, and I don’t care.”
“B-But-!”
“Buh-buh-But nothing. Whatever gossip you’ve got, keep it to yourself.”
“I’ve got your email, is what I’ve got!” Rhys stands up, apparently having found his spine.
“Annnnnd so what? Should that mean something?” Jack asks, still holding the door open.
“It means I have the email where you asked me, your student, to bring you drugs,” Rhys folds his arms, staring Jack down.
Jack stares back. “...’Kay’,” he says, then closes the door. Putting one hand against it, he says, “You got the email where I joked about you bringing me drugs.”
“Is that so?” Rhys asks with an over-practiced lilt to his voice. He should never join drama.
“I wonder how the administration feels about that ‘joke’," Rhys says, with finger quotes.
Jack scoffs. “Really? You think you’d have a chance with the Dean? Against me? Aurelia’s got bigger issues than me making jokey-jokes about weed, kiddo.”
Rhys saunters smugly to Jack’s desk. “My dad’s an alumnus. And a donor.” He hops up to sit on it.
"Ohhh, is he? Good for you, better than your admission scores, I bet."
Rhys gives a fake sigh. “I was gonna make this so easy - quid pro quo, we would’ve been done in five minutes, yanno? I even brought some ex for you, just cuz I’m nice!” Rhys runs a hand through his hair. “But now, we're doing this the hard way. Your screw up is gunna cost you extra now - price tag number one is that I pass your class with a perfect A."
Jack looks Rhys over before barking out a laugh. Rhys’ posture stiffens, as if forcing himself to keep it up, as Jack sucks in a breath that he desperately needs.
“I could be asking for a lot worse, you know-” Rhys tries, cut off by a loud laugh from Jack.
“What are you, a fuckin’ mob boss?” Jack asks as he wipes a tear away. “You were already passing, you little idiot!” He shakes his head, an arm resting on his forehead as he chuckles, “If you did well on your independant project, you were gonna get an A!”
“I-I know that!" Rhys scowls - his struggle for control is deliciously funny. "But I wanna skip! Whether I'm out with the flu or stoned until next tuesday! And you’ll drop half a letter if someone comes in late! So, I want security."
“Oh, wow,” Jack shakes his head with a barbed smile. "You’re fucking yourself hard for next semster by skipping my lectures, but whatever gets you that easy A, huh kiddo? Noted. Anything else, champ?"
“I'm glad you asked!” Rhys says, quickly jumping past everything else Jack said. “ Because. I. Want... a dick pic.”
Jack’s train of thought screeches to a stop as the statement smacks him across the face like a… like… well.
Jack says, slowly, “I… what?” and the smile that spread across Rhys’ face pisses him off. He pulls his surprise in check and narrows his eyes. “I don’t think I heard you right, cupcake.”
“No, you did." Rhys says, sounding more secure in his bullshit. "I want a picture of your dick. And make it a nice one. Everything in frame. Maybe a filter...”
"You know that's way worse for my job than the drugs, right?” Jack crossed his arms with a smile. Rhys shuffles in his spot. “And that this is extortion? What, I give you a dick pic and soon, you’re using that as an excuse to get me to do all sortsa shit, right? I know how this scam works.”
“It’s not a scam,” Rhys says, bristling. “It’s,” he trails off, as if searching for something, and answer he hadn’t thought of, perhaps. “It is what it is - I want your dick. In a picture. Specifically.” Rhys’ confidence deflates as he looks away. Jack doesn’t, eyeing Rhys’s sudden shift back, the forced pout under reddening cheeks.
"You know what?” Jack says, “I think Jack here is starting to get the picture."
His student stiffens in response. "I won’t show anyone else," Rhys assures. "Everything in this room stays between us."
“Oh, that’s not the only thing you want ‘just between us’.” Jack walks closer and leans a hand on his desk, beside Rhys. “That's what this is really about, isn't it? You want my attention."
“Call...” Rhys stops short, swallowing at their closeness, and picks back up. “Call it what it is - self-indulgent.”
“That’s cute.” Jack leans in, breath tickling Rhys’ cheek. “Pathetic. And desperate. But cute.” And judging by the hitch in his breath, Jack’s on the money. “Ooh, that sounded unprofessional.”
Rhys fidgets again, and that, to Jack, is genuinely cute.
"So what makes you think I’m snapping hot-shots for a greedy little fanboy in over his head?”
"Your dick," Rhys says softly, with a glance down.
Jack pauses at that, and at the soft realization. He follows Rhys’ eyes downwards. He’s gotten too close, pressed up against the kids leg. He can’t even play it off as anything else.
They're both interrupted by a knock on the door.
“...I imagine it’ll be even better in the picture, Mr. Lawrence, I’ll email you my number,” Rhys says quickly, jumping down and letting himself out.
---
The first day was crucial for Jack’s classes.
The unwarranted slander against him comes from morons who can’t handle adulthood. There’s nothing in his class that can’t be done by someone smacking two brain cells together. Whoever actually read his syllabus and did their online work - or emailed him about any issues - were the students that stayed past two weeks. His students pass. His good students excel.
And Rhys, now that Jack takes a really good look through his gradebooks, is a fantastic student.
He’d got the number, of course, in the email detailing “in case another emergency situation arises and I have no access to my email,” the little shit.
Jack takes his time looking at the number. Clicks it with his thumb, about to save as a contact, decides against it, clicks it again. A pattern in three parts, in intervals.
Aurelia wouldn’t care about any old brat with an email. But she would sell Jack down the river for a donation the size of a corn chip, let alone the money bags this guy's father is having forklifted into the school’s bank account. Jack looked it up once he was home and Rhys wasn’t lying about Daddy Dearest being a very generous alum. A former salutatorian with deep pockets. Jack’s not tenured (yet), so tanking that kind of donation would come with consequences.
He could beat the kid to the punch and call the aforementioned father about ‘your sons illegal behavior’ -- but at a certain financial threshold, it was always a toss up on how those conversations could go.
He’s not going to send Rhys anything, of course. No pictures, anyway. But Jack does, eventually, punch the number in and hits the ‘Call’ button. Kid picked up on the first ring, now that’s thirsty.
“That took you a while,” Rhys says. “Or, longer than I thought, anyway.”
Jack cuts to the chase. “If this email thing doesn’t work out for you, what’s stopping you from using my nudes as backup?”
Rhys’ sighs, his response is calm. “I already told you that I wouldn't share your pics with anyone. Are we good now?"
“Nah-ah. Because I don't believe you for a second, kiddo.”
"I don't want to share Handsome Jack's dick."
Jack feels a twitch. He shifts on his bed, bites his cheek when he feels friction where it counts.
“You’ve been thinkin’ about what happened earlier, huh?” Jack asks. He hears Rhys’ cough on the other end. “s’w’hat I thought.”
“Have-” Rhys clears his throat again, and starts again, less squeaky, “have you?”
“Been thinking lots, cupcake. I’ve been thinking about how hard you’re gunna cry your pretty little eyes out when the Dean laughs you out of her office and I fail your ass. Just tank your GPA - you’d get booted from your precious business frat. The school’d rip whatever scholarships you got out of your hands, and I imagine Daddy won’t be so happy to hear about it, either. Hell, I should fail you in front of the class, give everyone a nice long speech about biting the hand that feeds you.”
“Whatever works for you, I guess.” Rhys says. “You know, when people said you get off on being a dick, I thought it was a hyperbole.”
“And you’re very concerned with what gets me off, aren’t you?” Jack sneers. “Got anything else?” The other end is silent, save for the electric hum of the phone. “That’s what I thought. You’ve got shit, Strongfork. You’re playing Russian Roulette with your college career for a few days off and a grocery store sample of Handsome Jack.”
Rhys sure isn’t saying much anymore, for someone so confident at the start of this call.
“....Yep.” Rhys pops the p, awkwardly. Jack grins, hearing his taunts sink in. “Iiiii sure am.”
“You sure are,” Jack nods, “so do yourself a favor, pumpkin, and drop this whole shtick. And maybe, maybe, if you beg real nice, I’ll consider giving you… eeehhh, how’s a C+ sound, huh? It’ll keep you in your frat, but you’ll need to re-take the class. That works for me, does that work for you? I think it works.”
Rhys’s silence is broken when he says, slowly, “if I’ve got shit, then why are you trying to convince me to drop it?” The turnabout throws Jack off, and before he can reply, Rhys cuts him off with a quick and heated, “send the picture, Jack."
And then the fucking kid hangs up on him.
Jacks’ grip tightens on the phone as his pants tighten on his dick. He is way too into being blackmailed - no, by Rhys being into Jack enough to blackmail him. The actual blackmailing was funny. Tearing into his student’s ego with his teeth was fun. Having said student crumble just by asking Jack to move those teeth somewhere else…
Stop that, Jack thinks, do not humor him. Humor yourself, but not him.
And at this rate, Jack might really need to humor himself.
---
Jack bangs on the mahogany door. He doesn’t bother listening to her answer (“Busy!”), just opens the door and heads into The Dean’s office and finds her at her desk. With magazines.
“I said I was busy, darling,” Aurelia says, not looking up.
“You’re looking at curtains.” Jack pauses, leaning in to see the price. “Thaaat, apparently, Daddy Strongfork is paying for.”
“One of them is going into my summer office and one of them is for my winter office and I can’t decide which I like for which.” Aurelia rests her chin in laced, gloved fingers. “Ugh, I’ll just get multiples and whatever I don’t need or like I’ll… give to an orphanage, or something.” Her brow furrows. She finally looks at Jack. “Orphans like curtains, don’t they?”
“I’m being blackmailed by a student.”
------------------------------------------------
Jack lifts his dick (lightly, he’s too receptive to the attention as he hasn’t even taken the picture yet) and takes, in his opinion, a generous photo - he makes sure to get the good side this time. He sends it, with a voila~ attached, and what follows is a long pause.
Jack’s worried, for a second. He is sending dick pics - ranging from flacid to half-chode - to his student, who is already blackmailing him about a drug joke.
(Admittedly, he got a little harder thinking about that.)
He’s halfway wondering if he just got caught by a cop or something when he gets a text.
> This deal won’t work if you’re downloading from websites.
Jack blinks. That wasn’t exactly the response he expected.
>> That’s one way to react to perfection ;)
>> Packing this, I’ve got no reason to look for the inferior.
Rhys doesn’t reply. Jack’s wondering if he’s gunna need to take care of this in a shower, when he finally responds.
> I’m gunna need more than that. I wanna be sure these are real.
> I’ve still got the stuff I was gunna give you. I can bring it with me, if you want it.
Oh.
> Time and place, I can be wherever, whenever.
Oh.
Play it cool, Jack.
Jack calls. He can practically hear the nerves on the end of the line.
“Mr. Robinson, you’re trying to seduce me,” Jack sneers.
“Aren’t I?” Rhys replies with a familiar cadence. Kid knows his movies.
“We had an agreement. Picture and a pass, no drugs, end of story.”
“Consider this a bonus.”
“Running a charity all of a sudden, Rhysie?” Point to Jack. The deal was done, and the kid tried to wrangle more out of him than promised. “Someone’s starting to balk, huh? Got real quiet, kitten.”
“I needed a minute,” Rhys huffs, hotter than a calm person would. Jack presses the phone closer to his ear to hear Rhys slowly add, “I liked that. A lot. The nickname, I mean.” At some point, Jack realizes, Rhys keyed in to what was happening on Jacks end. Had to be, if he’s gunna be this forward about that. “Can you… say it again?”
And at this point, Jack keys into what’s happening on Rhys’ end.
“Bad taste to jerk it in the middle of blackmailing someone, kiddo.”
“Worse taste to mock someone for doing the same thing you are.”
“You wanna play with the big dogs, kitten, you gotta brace yourself for the bite.”
Rhys breathes - slowly, as if to calm himself. “You bite?”
-----------------------
“But, no charities here. Just some good old-fashioned prostitution. But with drugs instead of money. Kinda need the money more - for food. And my frat dues. And. Adderall.”
“Do you even have a ‘script, or is this cuz all the cool kids are doing it?”
“Someone didn’t pull a double-major when he was in college,” Rhys says.
--------------------
If Jack gets kicked for this, he can bring this little drug mule down with him.
Plus, it’s not like I’m paying extra, Jack thinks, Technically, he’s paying me to let him blow me. Kid’s got good taste in what he wants.
(And what he wants is Jack and Jack, goddamnit, is always ready to be wanted)
“You’re Greek life - Alpha Kappa Psi, right?” He doesn’t wait for an answer. “I’ll meet you outside the quad.”
Nail, meet coffin.

Marian Breland Bailey played a major role in developing empirically validated and humane animal training methods and in promoting their widespread implementation.[12] Marian was a graduate student under B.F. Skinner. Her first husband Keller Breland also came to study with Skinner and they collaborated with him, training pigeons to guide bombs. The Brelands saw the commercial possibilities of operant training, founding Animal Behavior Enterprises (ABE). In 1955, they opened the “I.Q. Zoo” as both a training facility and a showcase of trained animals. They were among the first to use trained animals in television commercials, and the first to train dolphins and whales as entertainment, as well as for the navy.[12] Keller died in 1965, and in 1976 Marian married Bob Bailey, who had been director of marine mammal training for the navy. They pioneered the use of the clicker as a conditioned reinforcer for training animals at a distance.[11] ABE went on to train thousands of animals of more than 140 species.[12] Their work had significant public exposure through press coverage of ABE-trained animals, bringing the principles of behavior analysis and operant conditioning to a wide audience.[13] © Copyright 2018 RSPCA South Australia Behaving calmly around people Knox Obedience Dog Club Incorporated (KODC) is a volunteer organization, run by members, for members.

In 1984, she published her book, Don’t Shoot the Dog: The New Art of Teaching and Training, an explanation of operant-conditioning procedures written for the general public.[23] In the book Pryor explains why punishment as a way to get people to change often fails, and describes specific positive methods for changing the behaviour of husbands, children and pets.[33] Pryor’s dog training materials and seminars showed how operant procedures can be used to provide training based on positive reinforcement of good behavior.[23] Pryor and Gary Wilkes introduced clicker training to dog trainers with a series of seminars in 1992 and 1993. Wilkes used aversives as well as rewards, and the philosophical differences soon ended the partnership.[34] Deaf Dog Training | Read More Now Deaf Dog Training | Learn the Secret Deaf Dog Training | Secrets Revealed Legal | Sitemap

Guest Post by IV, V and Me
“It Takes a Village”
We have all heard it… shoot, I think I even said it last week, but is ‘it takes a village’ just a phrase or is it really truth? Honestly, this phrase never even crossed my mind until my son was born and all the villagers came out of hiding with the good, the bad and the ugly advice; but this didn’t really bother me until I got some parenting experience under my belt. My son is 9 months old so obviously I am now an expert… even so; I was now ready to bestow my “parenting wisdom” on other moms. As soon as another mom mentioned any struggle she was having with her kids, I wanted to jump in to save the day with my expert advice on the matter… queue the other mom holding back on rolling her eyes as I ask the question all moms know too well “have you tried this?” like she hadn’t googled every possible solution to the problem she was dealing with. Was I really going to be that villager, the one with the pitchfork of advice at the ready any time I talked to another mom? Is a village necessary to survive parenthood? If so, what is truly needed?
Getting to the truth
I decided it was time to actually get other mommy perspectives on the subject of ‘it takes a village’. So, I gave a shout out to the Facebook world with 4 questions, two for and two against parenting advice to see if the “village” was more helpful or harmful.
Once you become a mom, something that is needed is thick skin, so that when you do end up receiving unwarranted advice, you can take it with a grain of salt. My friend Jamey W. said it best “I have heard/felt things that while harsh at the time, as I reflected (and minimized my pride) realized they were probably right or at least something there that should be considered.” This is a mom with a teenager and a college student; her answer is why I need to have mentors in my village to explain, “Pride causes us to miss a lot of truth.” Yes, getting offended is a cultural phenomenon, but instead of pouting, I can take what has been said and use it to grow and become a better, more developed person. I learned pride gets in the way of even allowing myself to be surrounded by a village. One obvious way I realized I needed growth in was learning that my son could benefit from being around others.
At first, I was very hesitant to allow other people be around my son, I mean, I made him… I can be selfish, right? But once I got past that, I found how beneficial it was to have others interact with my child. They would play with him in ways that never would have crossed my mind, and truly showed me new ways to love my son. “It is incredibly valuable to be in community with other people who pour into and love your child– they speak into their lives in a multitude of ways, and it’s powerful and humbling and so much better than doing it on your own. Other people can speak into their gifts, challenges, and behavior in a way that you can’t, and they see the things you have blind spots to.” –Annie M. This is why it is so important to have peers be in my village. Your peers can help you to be more creative with teaching and during play time as Jenna S. saw this as “a refreshing reminder to not let your child play her way right through her days without me, I just don’t want to miss It.” This has also opened my eyes to the fact that controlling every aspect of my life is just not attainable; I need help and support.
Being a very controlling person, I really wanted to do everything on my own and then… well, exhaustion set in. The other night I broke down (my son has started waking up at 2:00am hyper and not going back to sleep until 3:30am), my husband offered to pray with me as I was rocking our son to sleep and I said, “no, I just want to get Ru to sleep.” It took me about 5 minutes to realize what I needed was my husband to pray over me and once I gave up that control, it was like a gospel choir came rising up singing “Hallelujah”! A wise friend stated, “Praying that the Lord would guide you in each situation and lead you on how to love, affirm, teach, correct, and discipline in a way that is honoring to him. Praying isn’t hard to do, but always feeling prepared and equipped can be hard when it comes to parenting.” This makes me realize that protectors are needed in my village. God allows us to lean on him and others just as a friend who is a fellow new mom has grown to “learn now more than ever to trust in God’s plan and have faith that no matter what, He knows what is best and He is leading our lives.” After recognizing all that was needed for my village to be a great support system, there was something gnawing at the back of mind, something that was missing.
Out of all the moms I had asked these questions to, one specifically made me realize something most moms are afraid to say “I am one amazing woman and mom.” –Jen H. She is a single mom who has had to learn how to be strong for her and her kids. “But our God is good. And he put me through some tough times that led me to now. And who am I now? A fully functional adult who can clean and not lose her cool; I make doctors appointments and make sure the kids get their fruits and veggies.” This is when I realized confidence is needed in myself for the village. I am my toughest critique when it comes to my skills as a mother but why can’t I admit that some days I am doing a great job or some things I do rock at as a mother. I feel confidence could be such a great tool for us to spur on to be even better, to never stop trying to achieve the goal of loving our children fiercely.
The Do’s and Don’ts
Here are some of the BEST advice moms have benefited from hearing:
“You’re going to make mistakes, they grow up despite us, and they grow up fast so enjoy every moment.” –Jennie H.
“It is the ride of your life! Have fun! Find what works for you and do that.” –SueEllen H.
“Sleep when the baby sleeps” –Candace T., Chrissy S.
“Never let the kids leave the house without saying you love them. And always say encouraging words to your children.” –Ann M.
“Each difficult stage is temporary and you will miss It.” –Calli K.
“Do what you feel is best for you and your child and not to worry about what others think.” –Amanda B.
Things to keep in mind NOT to do:
“Saying things like ‘they are going to see it eventually.’ It doesn’t mean they need to see it now!” –Candace T.
“My sister-in-law never had kids and she always told me how to raise them, she would punish them in front of me when they would do something that was no big deal to me.” –Ann M.
“I felt pressured by others to use formula, feed her puréed and solid food, to sleep train when I wasn’t quite ready yet.” –Calli K.
“I have had a lot of people tell me that my daughter is big for her age and maybe I should watch what I feed her.” –Amanda B.
“As I was struggling to get my firstborn to latch I decided to pump and bottle feed her until our latch was successful. My MIL told me bottle-feeding wouldn’t create as strong of a bond as breastfeeding would. My bond with both my children is unbreakable and bottle shaming is as ridiculous and insensitive as breast shaming. Fed is best!” –Anonymous
“People trying to fix problems I’ve been working on forever like my child’s diet or showing distaste for the freedoms I allow.” –Jenna S.
So, is ‘it takes a village’ just a phrase or is it truth?
The truth is, it takes the right village… so choose wisely.

An aversive is anything that the dog does not like, such as verbal admonishment, or a tightened choke chain.[39] Game hunting in Victoria Meet the Positive Dog Team Tea Tree Events Office What to Bring to Class The term “observational learning” encompasses several closely related concepts: allelomimetic behavior or mimicking where, for example, puppies follow or copy others of their kind; social facilitation where the presence of another dog causes an increase in the intensity of a behavior; and local enhancement which includes pieces of social facilitation, mimicking, and trial-and-error learning, but is different from true observational learning in that the dog actively participates in the behavior in the presence of the other dog and/or other environmental cues.[53] Four necessary conditions for observational learning are: attention, retention, motivation, and production. That is, the dog must pay attention to the dog or person performing the modelled behavior; retain the information gathered about the behavior during the observation; be motivated to reproduce the behavior in a time and place removed from the original; and finally, produce the behavior, or some reasonable facsimile thereof.[53] Dog Boarding And Training | Read More Now Dog Boarding And Training | Learn the Secret Dog Boarding And Training | Secrets Revealed Legal | Sitemap
