  • My choices are Verizon FiOS and Xfinity. I’d rather stay with FiOS than move to 5G because I do have some applications that benefit from 1% highs being <20ms ping. Plus when I looked at 5G the pricing was still around that $40-50 range for a decent line of service.

    It’s just annoying because FiOS has a “2 year price guarantee” for new subscribers but is shafting my prices after 12 months. Xfinity is ~$5 cheaper but setup fees are ~$200 and I have to buy my own modem if I don’t want to pay the $10-20 rental fee. All that assumes Xfinity doesn’t raise their rates in 2 years.



  • Not a professional and you should reach out to a dog trainer if possible.

    In the meantime, negative reinforcement will not give you the desired responses. You could end up increasing reactiveness, justifying their behavior or having them only fear and listen when you’re around.

    Instead a lot of the basic rules of parenting a toddler applies. Positive reinforcement and distraction techniques are preferred from trainers I’ve worked with. Treating the chewing is easier than responding to the aggression. But training overall will help both.

    If you have something they want more, they should give up what they took.

    • Training them the leave it command can be helpful.
    • see if you can get more toys or other things they want to chew. Chewing can be a sign of boredom.
    • It may be substantially easier to train in a more neutral environment, indoors, on leash, etc (such as a room they don’t normally go in)
    • as others said, keep items out of reach. Only give him things they enjoy when they are in their space (such as a create or room)

    This article has some information about possessive aggression that seems to provide good information.
