There is a drug called loyal in testing, someone linked to it here as well.

Omega mart in Las Vegas might come close?

Can't think of large scale ones unless you include the rest of Las Vegas.

This is like someone standing in Times Square saying, "I don't go to New York or tourist destinations!"

Why are you here? How did you manage to get here?

Star trek Voyager: Elite force!

It was so good for its time. I loved it so much as a kid. I especially loved the portable pattern buffer being a great in-universe solution to explain how a game character can carry many different weapons. It fits so well into the universe that I half expected to see such a thing on the shows someday. It would have been too disruptive to plot development for the characters always to have what they need with them, though.

Thanks for the giveaway, amazing to see you in the fediverse!

Haha it sounds silly, but you're right to get them to check for contraindications 😄

I started using symbicort for post infection inflammation and irritation. I haven't had a cough longer than a day for years now. Existing over the counter cough medicine should be outlawed for lack of efficacy.

Still get sick though 😮‍💨

Yeah we need humanoid lizard people with chameleon eyes and tiny inconvenient T-Rex arms.

This is such a good reply! I didn't see it before I posted despite it being older, must have been a fedi hiccup.

Just because your parents have dogs doesn't mean they can offer a safe environment or know what to do with them. All the changes and the environment posed for your dog are incredibly stressful for the dog. Please be compassionate that your dog is going through more than you even though you literally broke your leg and probably experienced the worst pain in your life. Changes in living situations are the biggest adjustments for dogs ever.

Please don't listen to people suggesting anything with the word dominance, pack mentality, wolf study, punishment or anything forcefull. All of that is guaranteed to make things worse.

A certified trainer (CCPDT and the various acronyms associated, the dog academy, anyone force force free) will get you on course faster than any website or book.

If you want your dog to make it out of this, your dog has to be a priority, make it your part time job.

My quick advice if you can't afford a trainer and will only look up free internet advice from strangers:

Start with giving them something low value to chew on in a distraction free room. Have 10 minutes worth of super high value treats. When they are chewing the low value, walk up to them and give them the treat. Let them chew on the low value again. Repeat. Try for 10 minutes at a time. Adjust value of chew and treat so they don't react when you walk up to them.

Next session, If they start wagging their tail when you approach. Try making it harder by taking the item for 1 second then, give them the treat then give it back. Ramp up duration or value of chew and items as progress is made

All of this has to be a happy and joyful affair. You are using a happy and friendly puppy voice the whole time. The dog has to feel good about this the whole time. So make sure you and the dog are in as good of a place mentally when doing it. This will all be harder if the dog doesn't have other prerequisites like a leave it or drop it command.

There are so many ways you need to modify the above strategy for your particular dog that I can't stress enough how valuable you'll find a certified force free trainer to be. A vet check might also be suggested by the trainer. I think my advice is barely scratching the surface of what to do and how to do it, I haven't even met your dog so what do I even know? Very little!

If you need proof that force free methods are a way, the AVSAB statements are quick and easy to read with tonnes of source citations: https://avsab.org/resources/position-statements/

This is incorrect.

Every reputable source and organisation recognize this pack and dominance theory as an outdated idea, especially for human animal interactions.

The American vetinary society of animal behaviour has very direct and well written statements on that and where the ideas came from and what the modern solutions are.

Yeah! Who's getting more sad about getting socks every year? As soon as I moved out I started appreciating the gift 😃

If people ask for gift hints I often say "fun socks!"
