@mlprice I can sympathize with my dog because when I was prescribed these same meds a few years ago I had to switch to 3 different ones too 😂 some made me feel too numb. Definitely trial and error. I just hate wondering like do I stick it out and see if it’s a loading period situation or is this...

@mlprice Did your dog do well with those meds?

@mlprice Ah that makes a lot of sense. I completely forgot I didn’t start with the recommended dose right off the bat when I was considering how long he’s been on it. I think I’ll give it another full month and see how it goes then, thank you!

@ttolainchrist Oh I love to hear that! I can tell my dog is less frantic too already. He used to trigger seek the second we’d leave the home and now he can just chill and sniff the outside smells versus scanning for dogs! But I just want my boy to eat normally :(

Just hit 6 weeks on 40mg for my 70lb dog and I’m wondering when your dogs appetite starting coming back at bit? (If it came back at all lol). I actually titrated the medication if that makes a difference. 10mg first week, 20 the next, so technically he’s only been on his prescribed dose for 3...

@thudomi1582 I can’t believe I never thought to do this. This is a really good idea. I’m gonna try this in the comfort of our backyard for a little and then hopefully it’ll translate outside the home!!

@mykell Thank you for this! I’m glad I’m not alone! My first initial conditioned response (due to prior training) if he did this was to begin leash pressure until he gave in or or a light pop w pr0ng, then reward when he gave in. I’m just trying to explore different ways about this than doing...

I did a post on here a few weeks ago about switching my dog from balanced training techniques (more on the aversive side I was uncomfortable with) to checking out all the amazing recommendations (e-books, YouTube series, trainers, behavior mod recommendations, etc) that this group helped me SO...
