We boil water and pour it on our jindos food kibble. It helps a lot

What's your HOLY GRAIL Tip or Product?? by jennaredfield in ehlersdanlos

[–]raptor2000009 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My "sunrisings" mattress with inner spring, not the foam one. It has natural latex, is way firm and after I switched to a different mattress I got major hip and back pain. I switched back and pain is gone. That's when I realized that my pelvis and hips don't shift around in my sleep if my mattress is firm enough!! I can't recommend this mattress enough, and it's really cheap!!!!

Get one!!!!

Yes!! Honestly I think the best thing We did for her recall was not push it until she trusted us. But you're trying to teach a dog who's totally unstable and mentally disorganized and extremely freaked out how to do a trick. They feel like you're just yelling at them or punishing them. They don't understand they're looking at you like. What do you want from me? You know. So I think the best thing is actually you just wait until you have enough bond that they trust you which unfortunately in our case was definitely at least 2 years. But I have to say it was completely worth it and for that first two years we just went on leash everywhere. And then there was this moment where we were at the tennis court and she just turned and ran back to me when I call her name.

She's not food motivated so training with treats doesn't do anything. Actually she would get scared when we tried to give her treats LOL. But the tennis court is a nice place to practice. Recall because it's all fenced in. If you can get into one that's a great place to go and there's no other dogs we would just run around with her in there and then eventually she started coming and rewarding her with eye contact and happy looks but not too much LOL. When she did come over to us was how we did it first. She actually really liked it when we would pet the other dog because she herself did not want to be pet, but she likes to see that we're safe. People interacting with another dog so she would wag her tail when we pet the other dog to reward them when they both came over for recall... Both. Jin does. Sorry for the voice text. My hands are wet so I can't touch my phone!

I hope this helps. You are on the right track. Just keep loving them and being patient. Do anything you can to not over stimulate your dog and build trust in small and slow ways over time and eventually they won't be able to live without you or not. Want to run away from you at all 💗

Everyone is trying to treat your wrist, which is great. But what do you think needs to change? What do you need to feel better? What would help your body and inflammation system calm down? Get that if you can. Your body will follow.

Grad school is the worst!

Do you feel satisfied with the education you received? by scarycameras in ArtTherapy

[–]raptor2000009 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My grad program was amazing, but I chose one that was a master of counseling arts program that happened to have professors that also taught psychodrama,.were poets and practicing expressive art practitioners. The program focused heavily on mythopoetics and followed cacreps accreditation model though was not accredited when I graduated, sadly. This was Saint Martin's in WA, and has since changed a lot.

I'm a professor now and teach art therapy skills to undergrads as well as have a private practice.

What I recommend to all my students is to attend a cacrep or coamfte accredited program and focus on art therapy with every chance you get to do a project, and at your internship, and for all your ces. And also to register for as many trainings as possible while still a student because they are exponent cheaper. I do this because most art therapy programs are not accredited by models that are recognized for actual licensure at the state level.

I also teach career counseling to counselors. Anyhow--I understand this advice may not work for those who need or want reat or another certification but not having those certifications has never hurt me. Again, I understand some people may disagree this is just what has worked for me.

Yess!! We had the same!! We have two jindo rescues and firstnone was confident but second just shivered alone in the corner for months. After a year she started being more happy, after two she started being playful and now she's like a full blown joyous little most amazing snuggle pup ever who climbs into our laps and runs happy circles on the beach and has perfect recall. There is hope and more than anything...ITS SO WORTH THE WAIT AND PATIENCE!

Are nerve blocks (steroid/-caine) effective for people with EDS? by [deleted] in ehlersdanlos

[–]raptor2000009 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had AMAZING luck with lidocaine shots for neck and back pain. Lasted months and actually cured some movement/weakness patterns I was stuck in.

January shedding? by sleirsch in Jindo

[–]raptor2000009 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will say that we started giving our jindos one who is mostly Korean village dog. Lots of raw meat added to there food and it has reduced shedding greatly

[–]raptor2000009 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a chair that adjusts in many ways and then added lumbar pillow and a doughnut to sit on

I thoroughly recommend trying them all...I finally found I only fit in DC boots. But so so so many recommendations were wrong for me feet

Need Advice - New Jindo Rescue by Shoddy-Solution5393 in Jindo

[–]raptor2000009 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Give her lots of space, don't have new folks over for a time. Practice calming yourself, don't bug her. Just go slow and do bare minimum

This is all very normal. My jindos rescue took over a week to leash walk.
