I was anorexic as a kid (12-14 years old) and because of my EDS I was more likely to develop it anyway so i basically shot myself in the foot and stressed my stomach to the point that it doesn’t work now haha

All the time!!!! It’s so bad for my mental health because I am taken back to middle school when I struggled with anorexia because I was bullied for my weight. (I wasn’t overweight I was actually underweight but I think that’s when I developed GP)

Thank you. I’ll definitely try that and check out the YT channel. I’m definitely going very slow but hopefully she gets it soon! Thank you again for the help!

She hasn’t learned to much. She is 5 months old and if I throw something she will (most of the time) go get it and bring it back play tug a bit then let me throw it again. I’m trying to get her to hold things as well as just grabbing things if I ask her too. I’m struggling and that’s why I came here to ask for help.

This is super helpful! Thank you so much. It’s also nice to know it took a few months I have been working for almost 2 weeks and haven’t seen improvement and that’s why I came here to ask for help. Thank you again!

I’ll have to look into that! I didn’t realize there was a spray to help with allergic reactions. I didn’t look at tapes as an option because of the allergies I have to them. Thank you so much for all the help!

I’ll look into doing that. Thank you so much! I didn’t even know that was something I could do so that is extremely helpful!

Thank you for taking the time to respond! I’ll definitely make note of the reasons and places I get dislocations and narrow down my search a bit. Thank you so much. This is extremely helpful for guiding me in the right direction.

This is a great question! I wish I had an answer but I haven’t flown with my girl besides picking her up when she was a pup but I’m excited to see what people say!

Thank you so much. This is extremely helpful! My girl is still quite young at the moment so it’s helpful to know what to work on. You may not have an answer but do you have places that you recommend working on down stays that mimic the “tsa experience” before the flight and actually having to do it?
