I really feel every kid needs a class to teach 'life skills'. This class would teach about money, relationships, socializing, social media and respect and what does respect mean. I also feel it should be a required class to move to the next grade. Entering Middle-School is a perfect time to teach it
Very negative impact on personal skills, interaction with others, Parents are to lax in checking on and limiting screen time. Get those kids outside playing with friends!!
I have a teenage daughter without social media. She has the option to have social media and declined. She stated that it’s distracting and that it bothers her how much her peers are using it.
Even a friendly dog with excellent recall can cause real problems for the owner walking their reactive dog on leash; a dog running free is highly exciting to other dogs; it's not fair for the owner of the reactive dog to have to deal with that overstimulation in a "leash only" area.
I recently
I commented that it is not fair. But your comment makes me feel incorrect. I have had a reactive dog before and I feel that your comment is valid.
There are laws and rules for a reason. No one should think that laws and rules don't apply to them. If they want their dog off leash then go out in the woods where no one else is or to a fenced dog park.
There are leash laws for good reason. On a side note Bend Parks and Recreation need to put up signs at dog parks reminding owners that they are liable for damages their dogs cause to other dogs or humans under Oregon law. Bend PD treat dog parks like they are outside of their jurisdiction.
A bad dog owner is someone who is not able to care of the animal or mistreats the animal. The person is just not considerate of others and will break the law for whatever reason they may have. *if you have an aggressive dog it is the OWNERS responsibility to keep the dog under control anywhere
There are many factors, if your dog has great recall and obeys to stay in a heal being off leash is fine as the dog is still in verbal control. Dogs that do not listen should not be off leash.
They don't know how to think for themselves!
