There is a kid I meet with twice a week for individual training sessions, we will call him “D”. I was asked to pair him with a dog because staff has not seen the progress that they would like. Last week, while training his dog, “D” mentioned to me that he had an incident with a staff member at the Macomb County Juvenile Justice Center (JJC). He said that he was feeling disrespected by the staff member so he disrespected this staff member. The story he told led me to believe that he had just taken this staff member’s sense of humor the wrong way. We discussed it for a bit and moved on.
