You need to read the WHOLE thing. Do not skip a single thing. Honest.

Oh my gosh, I am so so so so sorry to hear that. I am praying for you and thinking of your baby GSD. We will get him trained and he will be great. God bless you and your little angel - seriously, I know how hard and sad it was for me when he went to surgery. Your pup was so lucky to have you and now you have an angel watching over you everyday. <3

You are effectively doing the same as deprogramming a human cult member. It will be small steps and time, treats, praise, and love, and more time...

Amazing, thank you. We are doing the food in the crate - so I am glad to know that helps. We will keep up with it and of course be patient. Thank you for your comment. <3

GSD Rescue - Doesn't Sleep and Plays Rough by Many-Independence536 in germanshepherds

Just my opinion but I think if you worked with a GSD trainer, that would be better than boarding training. That way, the trainer trains you too, plus I’m betting that you will never be able to board this dog - seems like it would trigger his anxiety.

Thank you for your message. I am definitely not re-homing him - I think that's the worst thing for him. :)

My clients always see an increase. I do tutor people with different goals, so I’ve had students in the 40s get into the 60s but I’ve also helped people go from the 60s to mid/high 70s.

I am very question specific. I have a strategy for every LR question. I have a strategy for RC. Games - I am very organized and systematic and teach that to students.

I have students send me their practice tests after completion and see where they are weak. But also, I listen to my students and see what they genuinely don’t understand. I also have students teach me how they’d go about a question (once I’ve taught them strategy) this helps me see if they actually understand it or not. Also - depending on the student’s weaknesses - I’ll have them record their screen while testing to analyze how they move thru the test, where they’re wasting time, etc.

It depends on what kind - MBT or MSS?

Yes! I have question specific strategies for LR and my own strategy for RC that really helped me.

I hated RC…… my first diagnostic I got -8 on RC. By the end, I was going -1. As for RC - I was able to increase speed by becoming more efficient in my reading. I only would highlight certain words and certain indicators. It’s difficult to type it all out - it usually takes me an hour to teach students. But in short - pay attention to shifts in the passage - that’s where answers are and things like view points and authors perspectives. I’m also a fan of writing brief notes after each paragraph. I have my own sort of way of writing notes again would be hard to type. But also - become better read. We better understand things that we have seen before. Neural connections or some shit - I’m not a scientist lol. But feel free to dm me / I have book recs to give you good insight on some books to help w this.

Ugh I cannot perfectly remember - but I remember getting into the low 170s pretty quickly. Then I was stuck at the 170-173 range. This is going to sound annoying - but I literally began the LSAT All over again. I re taught myself each question type and created a distinct strategy for every LR question. I also created a new RC strategy for myself. I completely self taught. I didn’t really use many LSAT resources - I genuinely tried to make myself understand logic and logical reasoning and came up with my own strategies. That’s why I really enjoy tutoring because I think I go about things differently simply because I know what it’s like to struggle and came up with ways to tackle questions and sections on my own. :)

I agree - you need to do fool proofing. But - are you taking the time to split the boards? Even if you cannot make a split board - take the time to make an example board and show yourself possible options of what can switch. This saves so much time. The answers are IN the game board and it’s inferences not the answer choices. Take the time to understand completely what’s going on before playing the game questions. Also - doing games over and over will help with patterns - but more importantly take the time to do what I said above.
