In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Poor social skills are a major symptom of small dog syndrome. Dogs who are overly coddled, or whose behavior is not corrected, never develop social skills. Pay attention to how your dog interacts with other dogs, whether in your home or when going out. A small dog may see himself as the boss. He may bully other dogs to get his way. He may, for example, chase other dogs away from the food bowl, or growl at dogs attempting to get on the couch with him. Your dog may be very aggressive on walks. He may bark, lunge, or growl at passing dogs. Small dogs are often ignored when they disobey rules, leading them to have poor impulse control in the home. Your dog may behave poorly in general due to the double standard for behavior many owners have for small dogs. Does your dog beg for food? While many dogs beg for food, dogs with small dog syndrome are particularly persistent. They may whine, bark, and stare until they get their way, despite being told to quiet down. In extreme cases, a small dog may start refusing his own food in favor of table scraps. A small dog may have a general disregard for household rules. He may not listen when he's told to get down, get into things frequently, and have poor impulse control in general. How does your dog react to guests? A small dog may ignore guests who do not want to be jumped on or licked. A small dog may also be aggressive with guests. He may growl when guests come in, and may occasionally nip at people. Much like other problems, this stems from poor socialization and a lack of boundaries early on. Dogs with small dog syndrome may be particularly difficult to housebreak. Dogs generally pee to assert dominance and control in a home. As small dog syndrome can spoil a dog, urinating inside the home is a common symptom. Your dog will not just urinate in your home. Your dog will also pee when visiting the homes of friends or family members.
Summary: Watch how your dog interacts with other dogs. Look for frequent disobedience. Consider how your dog treats other people. Think about whether your dog is housebroken.

If this is a relationship that you'd like to keep, then you can give some serious thought to forgiving him. If you were already unhappy, then continuing the relationship might not be a good idea anyway. Start by asking yourself these questions: Is this relationship worth your time to save in the first place? Were you happy and fulfilled, or did the relationship hinder you in some way? For example, if you spent most of your time worrying about incidents like these, you might want to reconsider the relationship. If you were unhappy in the relationship already, then you might be better off to just move on. While the length of a relationship does not necessarily determine the strength or value of it, there are some things to consider. If problems are arising early on in the relationship, you have no reason to assume that they will simply vanish later. That said, if the relationship has been going strong for a long time, then it might be worth it to evaluate why this incident occurred before ending the relationship. Avoid the trap of staying in a relationship just because you have been in it for a long time. If you are unhappy, or the incident is unforgivable in your opinion, feel free to move on. You must be honest with yourself about whether you want to forgive the guy, about whether or not you want to continue the relationship, and about the fact that what has happened is done. You cannot go back and undo whatever event created this rift, and if you can't accept that, you need to be honest and move on. Try asking yourself, "Did I like our relationship as it was, and can I see it becoming something that makes me happy again in the future?" Ask yourself if you are willing to put in the work. Restoring trust to a relationship can take a lot of time and hard work. Ask yourself if you are willing and emotionally prepared to work through the issues in your relationship. If you are unsure whether you can forgive a guy, this may indicate you haven't set boundaries and you aren't entirely clear what your boundaries are or what you will and will not accept or tolerate in a relationship. Take some time (try free-writing) about what is most important to you in a relationship, what your values are, and which behaviors are not in line with those values. You need to be more clear on your boundaries before you can answer the question of forgiveness. It is important to communicate your boundaries to the other person he cannot read your mind, and you may have different ideas of certain concepts ("monogamy" may mean something different to you than it does to him, for instance). There may be a misunderstanding about what is and is not acceptable in your relationship, and you need to make your boundaries clear. Talk with each other to clarify these boundaries, and let the guy know that if certain boundaries are crossed, you will end the relationship. For instance, maybe you're okay with your guy flirting with someone else, but not with anything physical. If your guy kissed someone else, this is a violation of those boundaries. If you already set specific boundaries in the relationship that could not be crossed (such as a zero tolerance for lying), you are under no obligation to consider rethinking those boundaries. In fact, you should probably move on if your boundaries are not respected.

One-sentence summary -- Ask yourself how happy you were before this incident. Consider the length of your relationship. Be honest with yourself. Identify your boundaries.

Problem: Article: Some people argue that coming out relieves stress and gives others the opportunity to support you, but you should only come out when you're ready. Coming out as gay, lesbian, or bisexual can open you up to stigma or discrimination, so it makes sense to be okay with the idea yourself before telling others. Have a chat with a close friend or family member and share your feelings. Ask for their support and/or advice about how you should proceed. You might say, "I think I might have feelings for Andrea. This is new to me and I don't know what to do." Be sure you confide in a person who is supportive and non-judgmental. Reach out to a friend who is gay, lesbian, or bisexual. They may be able to empathize and provide useful advice. Most people may feel more comfortable telling a friend, sibling, or trusted adult about same-sex attraction before revealing these feelings to their parents. If this describes you, ask someone you trust to join you in telling your parents. This person doesn't have to say anything-they're just there to offer support. You might ask your best friend, older sibling, or guidance counselor to act as an ally and accompany you when you break the news to your parents. When you tell your parents, be sure to communicate your feelings with certainty, so they don't assume what you're feeling is just a "phase." Prepare for potential resistance from your parents. You may wish to put this off until you are certain about how you feel. Your friends or family may question your same-sex attraction by asking what changed, if you were previously dating someone of the opposite gender. They may also ask how you are sure about your sexuality. Answer these questions honestly and to the best of your ability, so they can have clarity. But, don't be afraid to say "I don't know" or "I'd rather not say." Your loved ones don't have to know all the details of your journey to being same-sex attracted. Having feelings for one person of the same-gender isn't a clear indicator of being homosexual. Take some time to get used to the idea and see if additional same-sex attractions occur before deciding if you are gay, lesbian, heterosexual, or bisexual. If you feel pressured by others to define yourself, simply tell them, "I'm still exploring."
Summary:
Come to terms with your sexuality before sharing it with the world. Get emotional support from someone you trust first. Ask for support when telling your parents. Answer questions to the extent you feel comfortable. Don't feel pressured to choose a side or a label yourself.
