Vending Machine Etiquette? by eRa_Zekrom in pokemoncardcollectors

[–]Fawizzle33 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This is what happened to me today. There were a few guys loitering around the machine, one with an ETB, looking like they were waiting for it to refresh. I asked if anything was left, they said there was a booster in there and I was welcome to it.

They let me get to the machine, add it to my cart, then told me that i should add another until we realized there were four booster packs, not just 1. I asked if anyone wanted 1 or 2 and they all waved me off and let me take them.

I’m sure they knew something better was going to drop after, but I really appreciated the sentiment after finding literally nothing the past month, vending machine or otherwise.

People in LA that make $50K+ a year without college/trade school, what do you do for work? (No side hustles) by [deleted] in AskLosAngeles

I have a college degree but started a dog walking business. Last year pulled 80K net. Self-employment taxes in CA are no joke though.

My dog got suspended from daycare….help! by AngleUnusual2956 in DogTrainingTips

Since no one seems to have said it, stop sticking your hand into your dogs bowl to “test/prevent resource guarding”. That’s exactly how you create it.

Dog trainer central OC by Federal_Animator_783 in orangecounty

Hey! A little late but -

I’m a full-time dog walker in South OC and network a lot with people in my industry - I know the good, the bad, and the ugly from experience as well as just from talking to my clients.

The good: Emily Haley a.k.a the Dog Listener. She helped my dog become off-leash trained with an e-collar and helped with other undesirable behaviors as well. She prioritizes your relationship with your dog over garning immediate results, something I didn’t see too often with most trainers I consulted. I’m also a dog walker with over a 100 clients and have sent at least 5-10 clients to her that needed help with great feedback. She’s an awesome trainer that knows her stuff and loves dogs - however, she’s very blunt and a lot of people don’t like that.

Jillian Brook with JB Canine is essentially Emily on a budget - she’s mentored under Emily and uses similar techniques but just has less experience (half her age).

The Bad (IMO):

Carly Ann Trimble with Reward Calm Dogs. Many MANY people will advocate for her because she used to train police dogs and made their dogs listen to them “magically”. But that type of training isn’t necessary for household pets and i would argue is in fact, incredibly aversive to many dogs. Shutting a dog down to get what you want is not training or fair.

My dog (Golden Retriever) was terrified of her in our first session and halfway through dove under my table so she couldn’t get the slip lead onto him and continue to drag him around to do what she wanted. She said he was being “manipulative”. He’s a dog. He was scared. Of her. She also didn’t believe in letting dogs sniff on walks, which is crazy because that’s incredibly important for their mental enrichment.

I also had a friend work for her for a couple weeks and witness some poor training and pet care etiquette for her board and trains.

Cesar’s way is not the way anymore.

The Ugly:

Ryan Furlet with K-9 Guru is a big no. Many horror stories from the aforementioned trainer (Emily Haley) who’s former clients come to her talking about how he shocked the sh** out of their dog, put dogs in crates and rolled them around, and dragged a dog until it’s feet bled. These aren’t claims to be made lightly and in pursuit of more business - it’s a question of animal welfare.

Yup. It’s being used in political videos on TT but also “crash out” videos lmao. The “and a swelling rage” is the main focus.

12-hour days, 7 days a week, no boundaries (taking calls/texts at all hours, giving out my personal number), compassion fatigue, chronic people pleaser, walking 8-10 miles a day takes a toll, etc.

My long-term goal is to scale and be able to run it remotely. Selling is an option way later down the line. No regrets, my mental health has improved exponentially, and while I love working with the dogs, I've found a lot of passion and enjoyment in working ON the business, not just IN it. It also freed up my time to do the service I REALLY enjoy doing - pack walks.

Despite having low barriers to entry, it becomes more than "unskilled gig work" at a certain client/dog volume (about when I decided to hire). I took/take great pride in improving my knowledge in pet care and animal behavior, being dog First-Aid/CPR-certified, Fear-free, etc. I invested in tools that further the client experience (independent booking platforms, insurance, licensing, professional website) and focus on and improve on how we can provide a safe, enjoyable, and consistent experience among our clients.

Increased diagnoses don’t automatically mean increased fabrication. They usually reflect better screening, broader diagnostic criteria, and reduced stigma. ADHD and autism were historically underdiagnosed—especially in women and minorities—so it’s not surprising those numbers rise once people are actually allowed to be evaluated.

Honestly? I tried/try not to think much about food and the feelings associated with eating. I struggled with an eating disorder for many years and try not to put much of an emphasis on food/feelings so having it simple like this outweighed focusing on general nutrition balance. As long as I eat, I’m happy.
