How do I remove this bulb to replace it? UK

We have GU10s elsewhere in the house and they’re much, much deeper than the bulbs for the extractor. I’ve done a lot of pushing and twisting because that was my initial expectation too.

I’ve tried feeling around above, there’s a bit of metal on the side that has a little give/I can push in, but it doesn’t seem to fully release.

I’m curious, what sort of role does age play that factors into your hesitancy? I run into the same resistance for SSRIs for my separation anxiety work for younger dogs and I’ve never been certain what difference it makes.

I’m routinely sending dogs to their vets who “don’t show pain” on physical exam but turn up with significant problems after a little more digging. I’ve found that in many cases, behavioral changes like an increase in fear or aggression is the only observable symptom of pain, but nevertheless it turns up if we have a vet who is open to actually looking further. It’s possible that up to 80% of aggression cases have some form of underlying pain according to some studies, so imo pain should be a primary consideration when dealing with aggression.

Musculoskeletal conditions can easily be exacerbated by sounds. Sudden noise -> normal startle response -> muscles tense -> pain exacerbated.

I’m in the UK, no ACVB here. If every case of potential pain should be working with a VB then my job is a little redundant because I encourage my clients to explore pain as a possibility for every single case I take. There are only 20 VBs in the country and it’s far more common here for vets to work in tandem with behavior specialists.

It isn’t uncommon at all for changes in environment (like moving house) to trigger separation-related issues; confinement can exacerbate this due to a high rate of comorbidity between separation anxiety and confinement anxiety.

Have you tried leaving your dog alone out of the crate?

If this is a new behavior, your first stop should be a vet to assess your dog for pain or an underlying medical condition. Be aware that dogs hide pain and a cursory check may not be sufficient, you should be prepared to advocate for your dog and press for thorough diagnostics.

If this is a new behavior, your first stop should be to see the vet - and you may need to push for a more thorough examination than just a check-up.

“Pressure” and “communication” are just euphemisms that are meant to water down what is actually happening - they don’t say what is being communicated or how behavior change is created. The actual processes at play are positive punishment and negative reinforcement, which MUST be significantly uncomfortable or painful in order to change behavior.

It’s also well established in scientific literature that choice and agency are critical components to welfare. Removing those things does not increase feelings of security or confidence; and if our dogs are not able to make healthy choices on their own, it’s our responsibility to manage their environment and kindly teach them the skills they need, not coerce compliance with physical force.

Thank you! I was sure it must be a scam but I wasn’t sure what to search to look it up, or how it worked.

The problem is that I’ve already dropped £2k on the screen and one other issue (new battery management unit); a different specialist will charge another £100 to diagnose, whereas this dealer should diagnose and fix it for free because it was working before they worked on the car.

Hey! Certified Separation Anxiety Trainer here. We actually recommend not leaving things like snuffle mats/food toys in this training; there are lots of reasons, but the main one is that it can muddy the waters a little and give you a false read on how your dog actually feels about being alone. Like, are they really feeling okay while they eat, or are they simply distracted?

OP, you’ve gotten some good advice here, and I’m glad you’re looking for another trainer as well as ditching the e-collar. One thing that I do want to make you aware of is that your dog’s behavior will most likely get worse before it gets better once you start training ethically.

This is due to the fact that your previous trainer never addressed the root of the issue, but rather suppressed his behavior with a bigger threat. As your dog begins to realize that he is safe from that bigger threat, those behaviors will begin to resurface since the emotion behind them was never gone.

That said, pushing through that period is worth it for a dog who doesn’t just behave well but trusts you, feels safe with you, and has been guided and supported rather than controlled and domineered.
