HOUSTON, Nov. 26, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Although it requires a lot of work, owning a pet can be one of life's most rewarding experiences. However, the pet-owner dynamic can become incredibly strained when animals start to exhibit problematic behavior. As one of only 53 Certified Applied Animal Behaviorists in the U.S. and the founder of Beyond the Dog, Dr. Kristyn Echterling-Savage offers a few tips for pet owners who wish to foster fulfilling relationships with happy, healthy dogs.

Along with her animal behavior certification, Dr. Echterling-Savage's background in Behavioral Psychology allows her to view animal behavior through a unique lens. "People think that if you raise a dog 'right,' they won't ever engage in aggressive or problematic behavior, but this isn't true," she states. "Our pets' behaviors are constantly being reinforced by their environment, not just by their owners' actions." Acknowledging that external factors can significantly affect an animal's behavior is the first step to understanding why they might be behaving in a particular manner.

Teaching a dog appropriate skills and behaviors from an early age can make all the difference in their well-being. According to Dr. Echterling-Savage, pet owners should properly socialize their dogs by exposing them to a large volume of social interactions when they're young. By experiencing positive human interactions when they're puppies, dogs can learn to feel more comfortable around people. Living indoors with their family is a great opportunity for dogs to interact with caring, familiar people in a safe environment over a prolonged period.

Making dogs work for their meals is an effective way to teach compliance and reinforce good behavior. According to Dr. Echterling-Savage, pet owners can make learning fun for their dogs by providing an appropriate reward in exchange for the desired behavior. As a result, dogs will become accustomed to the idea of earning a reward for performing a task, which is ultimately better than giving them a "free bowl."

Like people, dogs need regular exercise to stay mentally and physically healthy. Pet owners can help their dogs burn off extra energy by taking walks together or by running around in the backyard. Active dogs with capable bodies can do so much more with their owners, and they'll age more gracefully with fewer health issues.

There's a reason dogs are considered man's best friend. With Dr. Echterling-Savage's unique insight on animal behavior, pet-owners can cultivate healthier and more satisfying relationships with their canine companions.

Beyond the Dog provides behavior-focused pet training for dogs, cats, birds, and other animals. Drawing on the research and experiences of co-founders Dr. Kristyn Echterling-Savage and Sean Savage, the company's certified pet trainers use highly refined behavioral techniques to correct problematic behavior and empower pet-owners to develop stronger bonds with their animals. Since starting in Kansas City in 2005, Beyond the Dog has expanded to six different cities in three different states. The company's Houston location can be reached via phone at (713) 416-6102, or by email at contact@beyondthedogtraining.com.

Altos shorthanded as player walks out after argument with coach - Korea JoongAng Daily

There is not really a crime thriller quite like Memories of Murder, directed by Bong Joon Ho. Many crime dramas exploring serial killers are more interested in how the philosophy of the killers and how the main characters react to the bleak reality they live in, often changed or traumatized by the events that take place in the story. Memories of Murder takes this one step further and explores how the actions of the characters reflect the incompetence of the police and how justice is futile.

The film is loosely based on the Hwaesong serial murders in South Korea, which took place between 1986 and 1991. The killer was only caught in 2019, and by that time, he was already in prison for the murder of his sister-in-law. That detail adds an extra layer to the movies bleak portrayal of justice, which culminates in the desperate police search for the serial killer resulting in a dead-end.

In the beginning, the hopelessness of the situation is captured in several darkly comedic bits. The main detective, Park Doo-man, is a hopelessly outmatched local detective who doesnt know how to handle the string of serial murders. His crime scenes are routinely tainted by the media, random tractor drivers who dont know its a crime scene, or morbidly curious children trying to get a look at the dead body. His instinct is to look at someone and tell just by looking at them if theyre a killer or not; this leads to him picking up suspects who are innocent and beating confessions out of them. His bias is especially clear against people with mental disabilities.

In contrast, Detective Seo Tae-yoon is an intelligent detective from Seoul with a university degree and American training. He comes to help the violent crimes division, exploring every lead possible, from the mental conditions of suspects to the strength and texture of their hands. In the first half of the movie, Seo is typically shown in the background of the ensemble cast, poring through documents while Park and the other characters brutally beat the suspects. At one point, he even says documents dont lie. His methods also involve befriending people and gaining their trust and rapport to get evidence from them, including a young school girl privy to rumors about the serial killer.

The framing of shots in the film is key in its storytelling. In one brilliant long take, the two detectives argue and get into a physical fight but then are broken apart by the chief, who sat perfectly between them at the back of the table. The long shots, with an emphasis on foreground and background elements, are a staple of this film, simultaneously playing with the framing for dramatic tension as well as laughs.

Eventually, Parks methods bring a lot of heat on the police, who are protested against for their use of excessive force and unjust imprisonment of suspects. Seos methods help to exonerate these innocent suspects. The clues he acquires end up paying off when they finally nab a definite suspect, Park Hyeon-gyu. Detective Park is forced to accept that his biased method of policing has done more harm than good, and learns to look at things more analytically. Its such a great character change that also shifts the tone of the movie from satirical to a much darker tone.

Seo is convinced that his evidence is rock solid, but they cant confirm Hyeon-gyu as the killer until a DNA test of semen samples returns from America. But tragedy strikes when another girl is murdered during the waiting period. Seo goes to the crime scene and finds that its the young girl he befriended during his investigation. Enraged that he was unable to save her, he goes to Hyeon-gyu and drags him to a set of train tracks to beat a confession out of him. Detective Park stops him when he arrives with the DNA test, which exonerated Hyeon-gyu. But Seo no longer needs the document, believing that its lying his evidence was rock solid. Park takes a look at the killer, and for the first time, he admits that he cant tell if Hyeon-gyu is even the killer or not and lets him go. Seo fires at Hyeon-gyu, and Park is forced to stop him. Even with their more analytical forms of detective work, there was still no justice, and they were unable to get the killer; this leaves them both defeated and hopeless. In trying to bring about more order, all the police did was bring about more disorder.

Years later, Park happens to pass by the same place where the first murder happened. He runs into a young girl who says she saw another man there reminiscing about something he did there a long time ago. Park asks what he looked like, and she responds by saying kind of plain. The film ends with Park looking into the camera, trying to spot the killer watching the film. Even knowing that the killer was caught 16 years after the film came out, its one of the most chilling closing shots put on screen. It reminds you that there are people out there who are plain and ordinary that are capable of horrific things but are never caught, while innocent people caught up in sloppy investigations are put in prison.
