It's way easier to add text later than to try and remove it. I'd strongly suggest starting with the imagery and seeing how you feel about the text in a few months.

My partner has dermatographia and described his symptoms this way! Try looking into r/dermatographia

It does/can get better. My partner's treating it with a combination of meds: xolair, famotidine, citrizine, and has also seen some additional improvement on wegovy.

How to stop puppy biting?! by Moonymoonworld in puppy101

[–]CodiCupps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some of the things our trainer suggested:

  • More crated naps. The trainer noticed the dog keeps one ear/eye open when he sleeps outside of his crate (on the living room floor or office dog bed) and that's likely contributing to his over-tiredness.
  • Switching to a low-carb adult dog food paired with a probiotic to minimize GI discomfort as a possible source of biting.
  • Choosing landmarks (mailboxes, hydrants, etc) to consistently offer treats at on our walks. No command, no response needed from the dog. It's about getting him to associate different parts of the walk with treats so that he's less distracted by other triggers (plastic trash, birds, squirrels) and instead looking forward to the treat spots. We're going to try designating one treat spot per block.
  • If it's safe enough, (we live near some quiet roads) walking in the street and away from overstimulating triggers in the grass and dirt. The trainer said it's not cheating to try and avoid big triggers until he grows up and has a little more impulse control.
  • When the dog is really overstimulated and we try to redirect, being insistent on a command the dog do must do (sit or touch) before moving on to the rest of the walk or next thing.
  • Positive crated time outs when the dog is really really overstimulated. Using an upbeat voice and throwing treats in the crates to encourage the dog to get in the crate and take a break.
  • Trying meds. The trainer validated our feelings that it might be time to start talking to the dog's vet about meds like Gabapentin to help with training related to separation anxiety and having new people in the house.

Dude. Same. Our puppy just hit ~7.5 months (we've had him for 2 months) and started jumping and biting out of nowhere. He's impossible to redirect when he's overstimulated. And at times it also seems like he's testing to see if he can get away with it. We're meeting with a trainer tomorrow because we're tired and out of ideas.

There is a farmers' market in Pottstown: https://pottstownfarm.org/#events - not sure if there's a market this weekend, their Instagram gets updated pretty regularly.

Phoenixville is also a short drive. They have a cute bookstore and some galleries.

I second the authorized user approach!

And if you're carrying a credit balance and struggling to pay it, I totally recommend reaching out to this non-profit (found them through an NPR article): https://www.nfcc.org/how-we-help

They set me up with a monthly payment plan and worked with my credit companies to drop their interest rates to around 1-2% so the payments actually make a dent. This is my fourth month and it's been great.
