There’s a difference between white background noise and noise of other people talking in a restaurant - that’s what I really struggle with, I think because my brain wants to interpret all of it and has trouble focusing on the person I’m listening to

As a Justice Officer in Brazil, who goes to a lot of houses to enforce court orders, I got another tip not covered in the vid: if it’s more than one dog attacking, you should do the most counterintuitive thing, corner yourself.
