Golden Retriever puppies are a very popular choice due to the versatility of the breed. Whether you’re looking for a companion dog, service dog, or hunting professional, there are breeders who can help you find the right pup. No one wants to spend time and money on a dog that ultimately won’t be the right pet, so how do you know when you’ve found the right dog?

Each breed of dog has both desirable and less desirable traits. Knowing the AKC guidelines will help you ask the right questions, while finding a professional trainer can ease the transition to puppyhood. What do you need to know when looking for the right dog?

What to look for when buying Golden Retriever puppies

Choosing Golden Retriever puppies can provide you with an intelligent, loving, lifelong companion. By carefully selecting a reputable breeder and choosing your puppy carefully, you can be sure that you have many good years to spend with your new dog.

Find the right breeder

When buying any puppy, it’s important to research its breeder. Ask what is in the contract, whether the puppies are guaranteed against health defects, and how many litters the mother has bred. You will also want puppies that have been socialized. It is best to buy directly from a breeder rather than through a pet store, as you will be able to see the parents and the home.

what gender

The question every new parent asks: is it a boy or a girl? It’s the same with a new Golden Retriever. Temperament may vary slightly between men and women, but it will ultimately come down to personal preference.

Males can be slightly larger than Golden females. If this is a factor, you’ll want to choose based on adult sizing.

If you plan to breed your Golden then you might want to choose a female. If so, you’ll need to make sure your contract allows you the breeding rights for your dog so he can register Golden Retriever puppies. The AKC is strict on breeding criteria, so you want to make sure you don’t run into a surprise once you’re ready to sell puppies.

Color

Golden Retriever puppies are often born slightly lighter in color. They range from creamy to golden. The best way to find out a puppy’s adult color is to check the ears. This is a good indicator of mature color.

Health

Your new puppy should be healthy when you bring him home. How do you check this?

Breeders will have certifications in hips, eyes and heart. These are important health clearances, but you’ll also want to see parents about allergy issues. This breed is susceptible to hot spots and skin problems. Ask yourself two generations before considering a puppy.

Other health problems are fleas, blue eyes, and discharge from the eyes or nose. You should also make sure that there are no crusts on the fur and that your pup is plump, but not fat. Too round can indicate worms.

personality

When visiting a litter of Golden Retriever puppies, choose one that will allow you to hold them without signs of aggression or distance. Gold litters should get excited at the sight of people and may even run to greet you. The energy of each pup will also vary.

Goldens are hunters by breed, so if you want a pup to be your hunting companion, try one before you buy. He wears a duck tail and tries to get the pups to respond. The one who gets the most excited may even want to give you your toy back. This is the one you want if you are choosing a hunting dog.

Golden Retriever puppies are an amazing, beautiful and intelligent dog. Choosing the right puppy will help you enjoy your dog for years to come.

I had never heard of a Bavarian Mountain Hound before my partner, Anton, broached the topic of getting one. We already had two black Labs, a terrier, and two cats. As far as I was concerned, our animal family was complete.

All of our animals worked. The two farmers worked with Anton during bird season to retrieve pheasants, woodcocks, snipes and ducks. The terrier would catch any rats around our farm and the cats would catch mice and leave their headless carcasses on our front step. Anton, however, felt that there was room for one more animal in our herd; a Bavarian Mountain Hound to help him track down live and injured deer during deer season. Similar to a Beagle in size but reddish-brown in color with a black face, it has a short coat and weighs about 70 pounds when fully grown. Hunters use this breed when tracking deer to shoot or when wounding a deer but still able to run. They are bred to track deer through the mountains of Bavaria and can track an injured deer for miles.

I had a hard time persuading. The animals we already had were expensive and very hard, yet rewarding, work. Bavarian Mountain Dogs are relatively new to Ireland so it was difficult to find other people to ask questions about the breed. I researched everything I could online and while I didn’t find anything objectionable about them, they still didn’t sell me. Because they are a rare breed in Ireland, we knew that if we wanted one, we would have to be on a waiting list. Anton made some preliminary calls and, to his disappointment, he discovered that there were only a handful of breeders in Ireland and that all of his puppies were booked for that year. I was relieved because it meant I had more time to make sure this was the race for us. I had some specific concerns about the breed. First of all, we live in a rural community and had read that they were not reliable without lead if they picked up an odor. We let our dogs run free around our house often and I was afraid a Bavarian Mountain Hound would run too far or worse, chase the neighboring sheep.

We get on with our lives and put the dog out of our minds. A few weeks passed when a breeder from Northern Ireland contacted Anton. He had been disappointed by someone who had booked a male puppy and he wanted to know if we would be interested. We talked about it for a few days and Anton had long talks with the breeder and we finally decided to give it a try. The puppy was eight weeks old when we decided we wanted him. The breeder recommended that we name him now and collect him when he was sixteen weeks old, that way I could do preliminary training with him. He also invited Anton for a day to do some hunting so he could watch his mother and father work. We were both happy with this arrangement and decided to call our newest addition Riley.

A few weeks later, Anton made the long trip to Northern Ireland to pick up Riley. He met his mother Heidi and his father Alfie and spent time with the breeder learning about our new pet. When they got home, I met Riley at the door and fell in love instantly. Lanky and shy at first, he followed me into the living room and climbed onto my lap.

Riley was definitely not what he expected the breed to be. All the research he did before bringing him home was helpful, but he had a lot more to learn. He was adorable, like all puppies, with his big dark face and long clumsy legs. We kept him by our side for the first few days as we had with all of our puppies. Unlike our other pups, Riley was very calm and not prone to the random outbursts of emotion that we had experienced with Labradors and terriers. He loved our company and, unlike the crazy Beagle-type dog he expected, he was lazy and loved lounging by the fire. At night he went to his pen in our shed with the other dogs and didn’t cry or bark. He was a far cry from the separation anxiety all of our other dogs had experienced and, in short, he couldn’t believe our luck.

Our first insight into the negative traits of the breed was a few days after we brought Riley home. He was so calm and didn’t seem anxious about being in the pen at night, so we didn’t think to leave him alone in our living room while we went shopping. We drew our curtains so the cats couldn’t bother him at the window and set off on our short trip. This was a big mistake. When we got back home, I immediately noticed that the curtains were now open. On closer inspection, they were not open. They had been cut in half. Yes, our wonderful, calm and placid puppy was, in fact, a normal puppy after all.

Riley is almost a year old and the Bavarian Mountain Hound is my favorite breed of dog. He is loyal, intelligent, and a fantastic hunting partner for Anton. They tracked many deer together this season and although he is lazy and loves to laze by the fire at home, when he hunts he is dedicated and committed and can go for miles. As he demonstrated by destroying my beautiful curtains, he hates being alone and is very destructive when left alone inside for too long. As I write this, he is curled up next to me with his head on my shoulder. He is fiercely loyal and affectionate towards his owners, as is typical of the breed. He gets along with the other dogs, but he definitely sees himself more as a human than a dog and seeks human company over canine. His hunting instinct makes him chase the poor cats if they get in his way, but he is kind and loving with children. He is not a guard dog, where Labradors and terriers will bark at the house if they hear someone outside, he will barely raise his head from the bed.

If you’re considering adding a Bavarian Mountain Hound to your family, there are a few things you should seriously consider. Do you have an interest in hunting? These dogs are scent driven and it is in their nature to hunt. They enjoy tracking over any other form of play and exercise. Do you have a lot of time to spend with the dog on a daily basis? This breed adores their owners and gets very upset when they can’t be with them. Can you commit to loving and caring for a dog for about fourteen years? If you can answer yes to these questions and decide to adopt a Bavarian Mountain Hound, you will find yourself a loyal and loving companion for years to come. Adding Riley to our family was one of the best decisions we have ever made, I hope this article helps you make the right decision for your animal family.

Child custody issues in California family law can arise through the commencement of dissolution of marriage (divorce) proceedings, legal separation, annulment, or paternity proceedings. Child custody issues can arise even if the parties are not legally separated, but live apart.

There are various classifications of child custody in the state of California such as; Sole legal and physical custody, primary legal and physical custody, shared legal and physical custody, and no right to custody.

In the case of married couples, the father or the mother have the same right to custody of the minor children of the marriage, before a court ruling is issued. If you are thinking about getting divorced, filing for divorce, legally separating, or living apart, it is very important to get court orders that articulate your child custody rights as soon as possible. Without court orders, a child who, say, lives with the mother (or father) could be legally taken by the other parent in the absence of court orders. If you have minor children from the marriage, it is important to file an order to show cause for child custody along with any petition for dissolution of marriage or legal separation paperwork, so you can obtain a court order that articulates your custody rights. of the children. .

The court primarily focuses on what is best for the child when determining who is entitled to what type of custody of a minor child of the marriage. Although it sounds simple, child custody and visitation issues under California law are quite complicated and should not be litigated without the help of an experienced attorney.
Formerly it was thought that children should be with their mother. Today, however, the court considers many factors in determining who gets what kind of custody of minor children. If you are a mother, you should not assume that you will automatically get custody of the children. If you are a father, you have an equal chance of getting primary custody of the children.

Entire law books have been written on the subject of child custody.

You’re at the park with your French bulldog “Simon” one day and you see someone pointing what appears to be a small garage door opener at his golden retriever. Wondering if he’s ever set foot on a movie set, he watches for a minute to see what’s going on. The golden retriever sits down, a loud click is heard, and a treat is given. And you’re left wondering what just happened.

The principles behind clicker training were first introduced to the world in 1910 by Colonel. Konrad Most in his book Training Dogs – A Manual. Originally published in German, it was not until 1954 that it was translated into English. The first dog trainer to use a clicker was Keller Breland, who introduced the concept to the world of marine animals in the 1950s. Moving through history, in 1984 Karen Pryor wrote Don’t Shoot the Dog, which attracted the attention of Gary Wilkes, who was the first trainer since Breland to use clicker training extensively. Thanks to the Internet, clicker training has quickly spread throughout the world of dog training and has become increasingly popular.

The concept behind clicker training is to associate the sound of the ‘click’ with the behavior you want your dog to have. Summary: One, the pup does something you want him to do, two, ‘click’ the clicker, and three, give him a treat. The goal is to press the clicker at the exact moment that Simon is performing the desired behavior. Your pup then associates the click with what he has done correctly and will receive a treat. There is a difference of opinion on how to make Simon, for example, sit in the first place. A view is to attach a verbal command; the other is to lure Simon into a seat, or to wait until Simon sits alone and then mark him with a click and a treat.

Proponents of clicker training claim that it significantly reduces training time and that the click is pleasing to dogs. It takes less time to ‘click’ than it does to say ‘good dog’ and the click gives the dog instant feedback so there is no question what behavior you are praising him for. Once Simon has made the association in his mind that the ‘click’ means he has done something right, he can mark almost any behavior. In this method, his only tools are the clicker and the treats; it is entirely positive reinforcement.

Critics of clicker training claim that any animal trained with a clicker will not respond without one. This requires the owner to have a clicker with him or her at all times, or risk Simon not hearing it when the clicker is left at home. It could present a security issue, as other people without a remote cannot give Simon basic commands. If you didn’t click the clicker at exactly the right time, it could have taught Simon to half-sit, or almost slow down. While precision is a benefit because it’s like taking a snapshot of behavior, it also offers a smaller window for errors.

Clicker training is very popular right now, and it may continue to be, or it may go dormant again. Whether it’s training with a clicker, or with verbal commands, or with ‘reward words’ to indicate a desired behavior instead of a clicker, this is all part of positive reinforcement training, which Simon is sure to appreciate. All forms of training still require patience and consistency. And remember that just as we have days off, Simon can also have days off. Do not give up; Even if your canine friend is ready to drive you up the wall, you can successfully train him.

Pets are amazing companions and can really make a home feel even more homey. When you choose to have a pet, be it a dog, a cat or even a fish and other types of pets, you have to find the best ways to take care of it. Taking care of pets requires patience and hard work and can be an expensive affair, especially if you have more than one and want to give them the best. But with so many pet products and supplies available on the market, all you need to do is know what your best options are and it will be easy for you to provide your pets with a healthy and comfortable life.

1. When looking for toys for your dog, be sure to choose according to the size of the dog for safety reasons. In general, you want to make sure that the toys are not too small for the dog to swallow, but also not too large for the dog to have a hard time grasping in his mouth. You should also make sure you choose a safe material based on the dog’s age and chewing abilities.

2. Consider your pet’s health needs when shopping for food and treats. For example, you need to select the right food products for growing puppies and they should be essentially rich in minerals and vitamins, and you will need foods that are high in energy to maintain sporting dog breeds. For older dogs, you’ll need to watch the calorie levels in the food and treats they receive so they don’t end up gaining weight. Learn about your pet’s health needs and choose supplies accordingly.

3. Although cats are carnivores, remember that they need much more than meat to survive. The food you select for your feline must be balanced in vitamins and proteins. Remember that kittens need calcium to support rapid growth, including bone growth, while older cats may want to eat low-calorie foods to keep them lean and active. It’s helpful to consider the cat’s age and energy requirements before purchasing your feline supplies.

4. Always put the health care of your pets as a priority, whether they are dogs or cats or any other pet. You can keep suffering at bay by using the right tick and flea medications and you can also choose the best dental products for your pet. In fact, the toys you choose for your pets can help keep their dental health in tip-top shape.

5. When choosing cages, litter boxes, leashes and collars, make sure they are comfortable enough for the pet. They should match the size of the dog so you don’t end up hurting him.

6. Try as much as possible to buy your products and supplies in bulk. It’s an easy way to save money and make sure your pets have what they need all the time.

Imagine, if you can remotely monitor and control your garage door on your phone, thus ensuring your peace of mind or imagine that you can set your home thermostat 10 minutes before you get home or your washing machine can send you a text message, when your clothes are washed and ready to be placed in the dryer. Internet of Things applications have brought all this imagination to life.

The Internet of Things has become a buzzword in recent years. The term “Internet of Things” was first coined by Kevin Ashton in 1999 to describe a system in which a computer can collect data from the physical world through sensors without human intervention. Today, IoT is referred to in terms of providing Internet connectivity to physical devices that allow us to monitor and control them. This article focuses on how IoT can benefit home and personal use.

In the Internet of Things paradigm, devices with sensors are connected to the Internet. These devices don’t need to have built-in Wi-Fi support to connect to a wireless router as you would expect from a smartphone or tablet. They can use different protocols like Bluetooth LE, ZigBee, Z-wave or Wi-Fi to communicate with a gateway. The gateway can support these radio protocols to communicate with the device at one end and connect to a home Internet router at the other end. One such gateway or hub called “Revolv” was introduced at CES 2014. The use of low-power radio transceivers results in longer battery life for battery-powered devices such as smoke detectors and thermostats.

The data captured by these devices is uploaded to the cloud. The cloud hides Z-Wave, ZigBee, Wi-Fi and the other protocols from the user’s application. Any product that uses any of these protocols can be controlled on the same smartphone; thus, in turn, it makes heterogeneous home networks a reality. Each of these devices can be uniquely identified in the cloud. A smartphone app or web app can access the data on this device and send a command to any of these devices. Household appliances such as washing machine, refrigerator, microwave, air conditioner, etc. as well as simple devices like light bulbs can be monitored and controlled. This can result in better home and energy management.

This is just a glimpse of the Internet of Things in the field of personal and home use. IoT products can be used to create a home monitoring system for children and the elderly. The doctor can monitor patients at home, which reduces hospitalization costs. There are endless possible applications of IoT that can improve our lives and help us manage ourselves and our homes more effectively.

Are you struggling with tear stains on your white or light colored dog? As a professional groomer, I see many, many dogs exhibiting unsightly tear stains and beard stains. Additionally, some of these dogs even discolor their feet, legs, and body from the saliva left on their fur from licking and chewing.

Possible causes of tear stains

The stain is usually reddish in color and sometimes emits an odor. It is important to try to determine the cause of the staining. Some possible causes are:

* genetic predisposition

* high mineral content in drinking water

* eye infections

* ear infections

*irritating eyelashes or hair rubbing against the eye

* candidiasis (from the area around the eye that remains moist)

* blocked tear ducts

* diet

* parasites such as fleas and moths

* allergies

You should consult with your veterinarian or groomer to try to narrow down the possible cause of the tear stain. Once you’ve ruled out some of the obvious medical conditions, like infections, extra eyelashes, and blocked tear ducts, you’ll be able to tackle the conditions you can have control over.

If your dog is experiencing irritation or infection in the ear, there is a high incidence of the infection going all the way through his body and creating multiple problems at all times. Many dogs that we see that have tear stains are also affected by inner ear infections. So be sure to confirm that your dog’s ears are clean and free of infection. Your veterinarian will prescribe the appropriate ear drops and/or antibiotics. You will need to be diligent in treating your ears as prescribed to alleviate the condition.

HOW TO MANAGE NON-MEDICALLY INDUCED TEAR STAINS

Dog owners should evaluate the food they feed their pets and make sure they are using a high-quality dog ​​food that is not full of sugar, salt, preservatives, and chemicals. If you are feeding your dog canned food, consider introducing a high-quality dry food to provide optimal nutrition.

The next item to watch closely is the water your dog drinks. Tap water can be high in minerals, and well water can be high in various elements, such as copper and iron, that could contribute to tear stains. A popular suggestion lately is to train your dog to drink from a water bottle (thereby preventing high-mineral water from settling on the fur). Another idea is to use distilled water.

There are several products currently on the market that address the problem of tear stains. Many of these products contain a percentage of antibiotic. Unless you are specifically dealing with an infection in your dog’s eyes or ears, it would be wise to discuss the ramifications of prolonged antibiotic use with your veterinarian.

MANAGE TEAR STAINS NATURALLY

There are two possible solutions for tear stains that can be easily implemented. The first is to add a small amount of white vinegar (1 teaspoon) to your pet’s water. Start with a smaller amount in the water until your pet can adjust to the taste. Vinegar changes the pH of the water.

Second, include 1/2 teaspoon of cream cheese (yes, like Philadelphia brand) in your dog’s food or treat daily. Customers who have tried this method have found that tear stains disappear within three to four weeks.

In any case, consult with your veterinarian to rule out any medical conditions, allergies, or infections that may be causing your dog’s tear stains. Once you’ve ruled out those possibilities, you can tackle the other options. Always check with your vet when trying a new regimen.

For some students, the academic school year may be over. For some parents, it can be a battle between summer camp and outdoor sports. But if parents provide interesting materials to read during summer vacation, children are more likely to engage in learning. In fact, reading during the summer improves the material learned, prepares children for the upcoming school year, and improves their language skills.

To motivate children to read during the summer, ten books are reviewed according to age group, reading level and moral value. Starting at 2 years of age, children can begin to develop literacy skills to recognize vowels and identify letters. The reading level of all these books is level 1 or easy reading level. The moral message that children learn from stories is also considered in each review. Many of these books are also available in French and Spanish.

Siberian cats have been called hypoallergenic. For me this is true. The definition of hypoallergenic is lower in allergens, not allergy free. Every cat is different just like every person. We have 5 breeding cats here at Kings Choice Siberians and one neuter plus kittens from time to time. I am highly allergic (urticaria, asthma, allergy, etc.) complete with allergist’s test to prove it. I can live with 2, no problem. So many, I need some light medication. I bathe them every 2 to 4 weeks. Siberians can be bathed and indeed many enjoy the water, it washes away any small amount of Fel d1 and I always indulge in burying my face in their clean dry fur afterwards. In my house, I have no curtains, only blinds, and only rugs are thrown away. I also don’t let my cats sleep in my personal bedroom, to create a free zone. Finally, I assign the garbage chore to others and have self-cleaning litter boxes on wheels in case I end up doing it. With all that, I’m doing fine. Temporarily, until the kittens are housed, we have 10. Currently I’m sitting here fine writing this, spring no less, not gouging my eyes out like I’m in someone’s house with a single house cat. Every person and cat is different. I get a little itchy when I get poked by a kitten’s claw, but they are very young and covered in mum’s saliva. Just a dab of Benadryl cream and it’s gone.

Vacuum, bathe and invest in a real purebred Siberian, not a shelter cat. Honestly, it is highly doubtful that there are any purebred Siberians in the shelters. If you’re willing to take medication from time to time and/or Benadryl cream for scratches (assuming you’re severely allergic like I am), you should be fine. Clients with minor allergies tell me they don’t have any symptoms. Like I said, all cats and people are different. We only breed traditional Siberians. The difference between a traditional and a “no” is that the others have a color point gene. They got this somewhere in their background when crossing the Siamese. These, I avoid because I don’t want to add any level of potential allergy to what is already an amazing breed. They have been called Nevas, Neva Masquerade, Color Point Siberians, CP or even Lynx, they are all the same. Some allergy sufferers also say they do well with Nevas, but to me, it’s not worth the risk. You will immediately recognize them by their white coloration and Siamese-style markings. Traditional Siberians come in all brindle colors and many solids. Cinnamon, lilac and beige are the only colors not allowed. The reason for this is that it was again produced through crossbreeding. They are not natural traditional colors for Siberians.

There are people who ask me about Fel d1 tests. This is not a great way to choose your Siberian. The test center will tell you that they have a 50% margin of error on perfect tests. That failure rate actually increases with any errors in the collection. This renders the test worthless. It is also very expensive. Breeders offer these numbers more to please the public than for any real value. Fur tests are also useless since the breeder could have bathed the cat first. Bathing with the previous month cancels the test. Another cat may have licked the test cat transferring saliva with Fel d1. So how do you reduce this? Well, NOTHING is allergy free. They recently discovered that people can be allergic to cold air. So saying allergy free is lying. However, as I said, hypoallergenic means lower in allergens. Yes, it is possible for a Siberian to be hypoallergenic. Even a person with severe allergies like me can live happily with a cat of their own. You have to be willing to take the reins to research the breeder of your choice, pay the fees required to breed such a miraculous animal, and take cleanliness precautions so that you can live a long and happy life with a wonderful pet that often lives the last 20 years. years. If you have always wanted a cat, it is your greatest desire and you would be willing and responsible, then I suggest you take a look at the breed. It may be just what you always wanted.

This is an area that I have been pondering for many years, pondering and wondering why such behavior exists. And with my recent expression through writing, I felt it was time to talk about this interesting and often confusing area of ​​behavior.

So here, based on my experience and observation, I will describe what I believe to be some of the reasons for such behavior. These are not the correct or only reasons and just my current views.

From distance

The definition in a dictionary is something like this: not friendly or communicative; cool and distant. Or conspicuously uninvolved and disinterested, typically out of dislike.

With this analysis I will be explaining the first part of the definition. Review the causes of unfriendly or communicative behavior and cold or distant.

examples

There are many examples that come to mind when I think of aloof behavior, however, there are a few common examples that come to mind.

The typical behavior is that of the person who will only make contact or express a greeting when others speak to them and will not make an effort to interact with others and initiate interactions themselves.

Another example is when one relates to another and the response is one of distance and coldness.

These behaviors can make someone seem arrogant and ignorant and as if they think they are above or better than others.

isolated occurrences

Of course, someone has to start a conversation, and there may be instances where talking to someone isn’t in your best interest. What I am describing here are someone’s inclinations and not isolated facts.

survival mechanism

When it comes to being cold and distant, I see them as behaviors that are nothing more than coping mechanisms. A way for an individual to avoid the actual or perceived experience of rejection.

Causes

Possible causes of such behavior could result from being ignored or rejected during the younger years. As a child, we will naturally have times when our parents or caregivers are not available to us, and we can take these as loving retreats and as absolutes. If the experience is truly traumatic, it can leave us with these feelings that color our entire experience and cause us to filter our entire lives in this way. And now, as a way to avoid reliving these painful memories, we use these coping mechanisms.

felling safe

Being distant or withdrawn allows one to feel a sense of security and that there is no possibility of rejection. However, the more we behave in this way, the more we feel rejected and neglected by others.

Imbalance

It also has to do with giving and receiving. With the left side of our body being the receiving side (female) and the right side being the giving side (male). These kinds of traumatic early experiences create an imbalance within us and this then creates our behavior.

Withdrawal

If we’re looking for something, whether it’s love or acceptance, and it’s not there or rarely is, then we begin to withdraw and hold back as a way to protect ourselves. Separate ourselves from what we want and need. This can create passive behavior and someone who is withdrawn and rarely willing to give. This is a perfectly normal consequence of not being accepted when we have given or asked for something and each time we have been rejected or have had an experience so traumatic that it created a reference point.

All of this creates a problem with receiving and if we cannot receive then we cannot have anything to give and this can make us feel as if we are running out of energy.

Be present

By questioning our reactions and behavior, we can begin to ask ourselves if we are acting from the present moment or acting from past memories. Past memories that trigger past associations and have nothing to do with what is happening now, in the present moment.

Interpretation

Just as I mentioned earlier about individual occurrences, there are also our interpretations of behavior, which can make us assume and jump to conclusions.

There may also be other factors involved. These may be that the person is shy, quiet, or that there is something currently going on in their life that is causing the distant behavior.

It could also have to do with environmental influences that are creating conflict and pressure for the individual. And if we see this behavior a lot or it provokes a reaction in us, then it could be reflecting something we need to look at within ourselves.
