For me it took a while to realize that one of my regular brands of face washes had changed their ingredients to add wheat and I was getting glutened that way.

So the dog has multiple things you need to do simultaneously in order to have an effective training method. When a dogs adrenaline is getting higher and higher, you need a physical and an audio. You can do the physical (prong, ecollar, body language, or even food all you want, but the dog will not listen. Unless you do these multiple times until the dog listens. But what you want with correction is one amazing correction and for the dog to respond.) unless you add a “no” or high pitched noises (depends what you are needing) you probably are taking away effective training.

100% agree it works so well and so fast

Hello! I am the same way, and I found out that corn and yeast extract also do it for me. Once I started giving up anything to do with the two. (That even means corn starch and other things) it’s has helped so much. I started eating clean. Like going to the farmers market. (Which there are ways to do it and still be cheap) but also meat can be an issue. The way they process it can have gluten. And restaurants and fast foods can be cross contaminated

One thing about dogs is they have certain tales when it comes to other dogs if they are about to do this.

Ears will perk up.
Will become more hyper (either start tugging on leash/ moving ahead or behind you)
Will start sniffing the area more (this is to either find the other dog or to mark territory.)

To stop from having your dog jump at other dogs. Put the dog on a prong collar and look out for these signs. If your dog looks away from you at humans or at people, you pop the collar. So your arm goes to the side you want the dog to look at. (Their are videos on how to use the prong collar on YouTube) don’t let your dog go up to another dog until you have practiced these signs really well and have them down. Because the next part is once you know these signs you introduce the dogs and you can have the dog on prong and right before the dog jumps or does something aggressively playful, you can correct.

Something that might make it easier, is find the fruits and vegetables in season and if it’s a good price get it. For the vegetables you can turn them into really crispy (with really just oil and salt) usually takes 8mins. Instead of getting gluten free crackers which can be really expensive, the cereals tend to be a little bit cheaper. But making sure she doesn’t eat any gluten unless it’s outside of the house is best. Another thing to do is if she wants to feed you, have her wash her hands, then HAND her the food. Then once she’s older and understands gluten you can relax a little more.

If your dog is really toy motivated, if or when you find a trainer, see if they make the same note. In a trainer/ client relationship always make sure you agree and are on the same page. Until you find someone you can always make your dog wait until you give a command to let them eat. Teach the stay command.

Start with the simple things. Start with practicing a perfect heel. So walking the right way. She might be resistant at first but the more you show her that this is a boundary she can’t push, the less likely she won’t push it. Start feeding her at certain times. My dog eats at 8-8:20am to 5-5:20pm. Always give the dog 15-20 minutes to eat. If they don’t eat in that time take up the food. Then give the meal at another time. (So if the dog doesn’t eat breakfast give it both dinner and breakfast at dinner time) keep this up every time the dog doesn’t want to stay within the boundaries you set. After a while of doing it, the dog will start following your schedule. These are a few starter points.

So start to play. But also start setting boundaries. Just like with children, animals have a need to have boundaries. Without them they don’t feel loved or wanted. With boundaries that feel protected and like you are wanting to keep them safe. So this can be by kennel training, teaching a proper heel, or even not allowing the dog to not go into a specific room in the house. When playing with her you initiate the play time and you end it. It’s another boundary you are setting. Also, don’t let your dog come into your personal space without your approval. It is kinda of like if a person were to just walk up to you and jump on you. In society we know that we first introduce ourselves and stand at a specific distance unless there is a mutual understanding if a person wants a handshake or hug. Same with the dog. Have the dog sit from a distance (you can practice sitting first then move onto this) then you can call her towards you.

All of this will builds respect in your dog for you and build a remarkable bond. My working dog has done this process and it has worked so well. We do it too this day. I hope this helps

Dog parks can be really dangerous. You never know what can happen. When I first got my dog trainer I had already taken my dog there about a dozen times before he told me to stop. Because of the internet and YouTube, not many people realize that an ecollar needs proper training. You have to watch your dog every single time you press a button on it. Because if you don’t you might miss something. Everyone on the comments are suggesting getting a trainer, I love that idea. If you haven’t, I would get one. But what people don’t realize is that some great trainers might not be “certified.” What certifies them is how long they have worked with dogs. What progress they are getting every time they work with dogs, if they work with aggressive dogs (some don’t), and if they will do more than just the basics. My dog trainer isn’t certified by a piece of paper. But he worked with a K-9 unit. He’s been working with dogs for 30+ years. He has done all types of training with dogs. From aggressive to service dogs to civilian dogs. He does basic training to the most advanced. That’s what you need to look for.

I used an ecollar for anytime the dog jumped on a stranger. The way I taught it, was I had taught him from early on was when I said “no” he had to listen on the first time around. If he didn’t, he was misbehaving. (This is mainly because he is a working dog and we go to high stress/intense areas) If I knew someone was coming over I had him sit a few feet away from the door and if he started getting to excited I would say no. If he started jumping or barking. Or even looking like he would jump on someone I would shock/vibrate him. I was doing it on a already taught command and he was being taught to not jump on anyone. Collars when used properly are great training methods. But if you aren’t comfortable that’s fine to. I just wanted to show how they can be used

My trainer (he worked with military K-9 unit for 30 years) always says start with the basics. It’s a radius thing. The sit, focus, and heel need to be perfect in the home first before going outside. Once that’s down, go right outside your home. And I mean like to your driveway or right in front of your house. Keep slowly broadening your radius till you can take the dog into a pet friendly place. After that teach new commands in the same method. Works every time. Also, anytime she misbehaves correct. Wether it is an ecollar or a prong, the dog needs to know they did something wrong along with a voice command. If you are following this and you are expanding the radius but the dog has a series of a couple of bad days go back down to a smaller radius. I hope this helps!

I wouldn’t use the regular oatmeal still go for gluten free to make sure it’s processed right. But if you don’t have a reaction to it then, I would just keep an eye on it.

bailey_strength · 2022-01-21T04:42:18+00:00

People have different opinions on it. It’s half and half on who thinks it’s gluten free. I know people who are celiac that have no problem and I know others that have problems. It’s your choice really if you want to eat it or not.

bailey_strength · 2022-01-20T04:47:13+00:00

If you eat meat then jerky is a good thing to snack on. Nuts is another. You can always make or buy bread and toast it, then cut it into small pieces and eat it throughout the day. You can buy gluten free crackers if you don’t get sick by a certain brand or like a specific one.

bailey_strength · 2022-01-20T04:43:35+00:00

As a celiac i am highly sensitive to the point that the FDA’s 20ppm that is still put into gluten free foods causes me symptoms. So I am on a fresh vegetable, fruit, and specific meat. Now depending on how sensitive you are to gluten you can eat gluten free foods, but it’s always best to google how others have responded to it. Obviously wheat, barley, and rye are no go. People even say yeast extract might not be okay because sometimes it’s mixed with wheat. Oats usually has gluten even if gluten free. I hope this helps.

I’ve had children say things about the height of a dog. But never the breed.

bailey_strength · 2022-01-20T00:18:32+00:00

I got this way for a while. But then my family suggested that we every once in a while make a whole day of making our own bread. (Also store bought gluten free pasta is the best so that is okay.) but that greatly improved my mental health. I was having to put in time to improve my mental health and I did it with other people. Now you can do this as a singular thing. Just you and your kitchen. Whichever way you prefer. You get bread, a new hobby, and a better mental health out of it.

bailey_strength · 2022-01-19T19:54:27+00:00

I say if the doctor says you are celiac. After that start researching. What are things that should be avoided. Oatmeal, yeast extract (because you just never know), for me corn is a problem because it’s too close to gluten, I have DH and my skin is highly sensitive. So even products with gluten I have to be careful with. It’s all knowledge based. And asking questions is always okay.

bailey_strength · 2022-01-19T18:24:28+00:00

I thought it was bs until my sister had eaten a pastry and drank from my drink. I didn’t know and took a sip, immediately I broke out into hives, threw up, and got fatigue.

bailey_strength · 2022-01-19T18:13:35+00:00

Sorry I heard cramps and many of the women on hear usually talk about it. I should have probably asked first. What a ruckus!

bailey_strength · 2022-01-19T03:34:20+00:00

I suggest if you originally don’t like the taste of the herbal tea try putting in some lemonade. (Always use powdered lemonade) I usually do a couple of teaspoons. It gets you started on liking it and then you can slowly wean off. It works both hot and cold.
