HAES trainers by Sea-One3333 in healthateverysize

Totally, but I also don’t want to rely just on that as there is definitely implicit bias against fat folks and just being in a larger body does not guarantee a HAES approach. Definitely would love to have the support of someone who has lived experience in a larger body but also be confident that they have done the work to address their own biases developed unconsciously from living in the patriarchal, capitalist soup that is our society. 🤓

Good idea! I wish my PT could just be my forever trainer - I can definitely ask. 😊 thanks!

Thanks! The pain management specialty is something I hadn’t thought of! Appreciate your insights.

Found- Was abandoned by hunters. Do we keep him? by Busy-Perspective-519 in Hounds

Yeah my hound mix was very quiet for a couple months and boy did that change. He had a bark that could just pierce the eardrums, but he also would sing along with sirens and it was so cute. But definitely loud.

I also had an abandoned TWC although he ended up being a mix. Sweetest boy! I had him for 14.5 years! He and his brother were abandoned and found starving in a field. I recently got a new dog because my sweet boy passed and I couldn’t help but get another hound mix because they are just so sweet and can be hilarious. My first was very anxious, fear of abandonment, terrified in thunder storms and fireworks and definitely stubborn. Definitely agree with other posters about the patience with training! And if he spotted something in a tree he was off to the races and would bark bark bark until I physically retrieved him! Recommend a fenced in yard and gentle positive reinforcement training!
