welcome back i missed you !!!

When people ask me why I need my assistance dog (Australia’s term for service dog) I reply “for my disability” 😂

Welcome back! I am going to college in January with my service dog in training. He is my 3rd, I've been training dogs since I was 6. I have a standard poodle and he is also doing puppy classes at petsmart. He is absolutely amazing and he is doing great. He has a great temperament. He was born in April 2024 so he will be 9 months old when we go to college. It is early for most dogs but due to his temperament, it will be okay. He isn't distracted by people, food, or other dogs. He has a solid focus in public and he has a perfect recall. If he makes a mistake, I can easily correct him. He is very laid back and he has a solid down stay. For most dogs 9 months would be very early, but he is different. He is only 4 months old and he is absolutely amazing. We have two trainers and they both agree that he should be trained well enough by January. He can already sit, stay, heel on and off leash, recall from a long distance, touch my hand, alert to my PTSD or anxiety, fetch my medicine, make eye contact, and much more. I didn't start his training until he was about 3 months old. I focused on desensitizing and socialization when I first got him. We live in the city so I took him outside to watch fireworks with me and he wasn't scared at all due to his early desensitization. I've played loud noises on my TV daily such as construction, thunder, fireworks, yelling, babies crying, dogs barking, and many other noises dogs would usually be afraid of. My dad and I took him on a walk for the first time last week and he did perfect. We walked through the river canal in downtown Oklahoma city, there were many bars with loud music and people, ducks, turtles, dogs, birds, kids, scooters, loud cars and motorcycles, and the boats that go down the canal. At first he was a bit afraid, every time he was a bit frightened I crouched down next to him and I gave him treats while he watched his surroundings so he knew everything was okay. After about 5 minutes, he wasn't scared at all. We went through the park near the myriad gardens and I noticed a splash pad. We walked over so I could train him in the water. It was very loud so I was expecting him to get scared of the noise or the water jets. He wasn't scared at all! I stood near the splash pad and I allowed him to decide if he wanted to go over or not. He continued to walk towards the water even when I stopped, so we went into the water together. It wasn't deep at all, it's just little sprinkler jets on a stone ground. As soon as he made it to the middle, he flopped down into the water. He loves laying in water. I let him chill out for a few minutes then I trained him a bit and he did great! I got him to put his paws on top of some benches and rocks to help build his confidence and he did great. There were some bike racks that looked like circles so I asked him to walk through, and he did. At first he was confused and he went around so I lured him through the first one, then he went through all of them. There is a part of the riverwalk that connects to a sidewalk in the city, there is a small bridge with a stream of water going under it, I jumped over it (it was about a foot wide and maybe 6 inches deep), I thought Carlito would jump over too but he didn't... He decided to walk in! I was very proud of him because he wasn't scared at all. We practiced how down stay, block, cover, and him laying under my legs while I sit down. He did excellent! We have only been working on his tasks for a week and he is already doing great. I got very lucky with him. My great uncles ex girlfriends daughter is an AKC breeder and she shows her dogs. Carlito was the runt of the litter and the smartest. I wanted a black female but there was only 1 and she had a deposit down already, so I chose him. He looks similar to my first service dog too! I love him dearly and I can't believe how well he is doing. I constantly get compliments on him, he amazes me daily. I just wish he would stop trying to slap me..

I am so glad you’re back!! I missed you and Dallas!!

Wow, I love that you shined some light on some of the drawbacks or downsides to having a service dog. Service dogs can absolutely help with disabilities but it’s so important to realize that having one comes w obstacles and you have to determine if those drawbacks might cause you more problems than you are already dealing with. Sometimes the issues that come w owning, training and caring for (physically and financially) a service dog can make a persons life harder than it already is…. A great example of that is someone who is dealing with anxiety. The last thing they may want is many people approaching them every single time they go out in public to quickly run an errand or do something.

I'm so glad you're back! I've missed watching your videos. Also your hair is so pretty! Thank you for making these kinds of videos for us to see. I like that you brought up the difficulties that you go through on a regular basis out in public to show people that even though these dogs can help, they bring so much attention, wanted and unwanted!

Love that ur posting again!

your hair looks amazing in this

been missing your content

Great to have another video from you. That was a very thorough and comprehensive list. . I really like what you said about a service dog without training not being a service dog.

Firsttttt I'm so glad your back!!!

Dalla😅

I’m moving in with a service dog to a single freshman dorm, so nervous

Looks like the Houston Zoo

Service dogs are NOT allowed in food preparation areas, hospital operating theatres and animal contact areas within zoological parks. Service dogs must also have a 6-foot non-retractable leash attached to them at all times.

Pnl won’t message me back on Etsy lol😭

i have pots too :( sorry

I nearly choke on the analogy of the ketchup bottle😂😂

This was so helpful, does DOT paperwork or something similar apply for international travel too? And the extra room on the plane? And the service dog restrooms?

Is there any time that the service dog is provided for the patient? My Mom was just diagnosed with heart failure and intestine cancer. Its all new I took her into the er on 4th of July when she was having severe pain in lower abdomen. She's still in the hospital and had had surgery to try removing the cancer mass off, but 4 days later we got test results and it's still there. Her and I are both nurodivegent as well. But she lives on ssi and doesn't have a lot of money at all, nor do I. But I know we both would benift greatly from having a dog just in general and a service dog would be beyond helpful. But I know we don't have the money to be able to afford a service dog, we would have the money for vet and basic dog care. And we've always have had a dog up till her last dog got hit by a car about 5yrs ago. He was a labor doodle. And was definitely so amazing for my Moms mental health and physical health. Anyways I'm sure she can get her Dr to prescribe a service dog, that's easy.

7:14 why did you call the fire alarm “ugly” and “not cute”? I love fire alarms and to be super truthful with you, the way a fire alarm looks is what makes it so interesting along with the way they sound. That’s why I love fire alarms because of the way they look and the loud noise that they make. But most importantly they save lives! So instead of looking at it as a nuisance and annoying, look at it as a safety device that can mean the difference between life and death.

50 dollar rain jacket?? laughs in 15 dollar rain jacket that works perfectly

If you are not going to tell someone they need stronger deodorant, they have an odd looking butt, or a face which has been obviously affected a trauma...Mayube you shouldn't ask anyone a personal; question...

Thank you for this video! Do you only have to give them the DOT or is there other forms requested? Dr notes.. etc

I was as you are when I was younger and we women are trained from birth to be nice. I am now a Senior and I am always polite, but people these days are so rude. Remember that if your dog is distracted you will be in a state of medical danger. So what I now do very nicely, but FIRMLY is tell them that I am working and although my disability may appear invisible if she is distracted it puts me in a situation were my health and safety could be jeopardized. I do not think people realize this. This usually works.

I may be a terrible person I never feel bad for telling them to stop distracting my boy. I think it hurts their feelings more when they try to get his attention and he is literally all about his momma. 😅 I use to let people pet him when I first started taking him out as a puppy and he would literally walk away from them back to me in a few seconds. 😂

Dallas was looking real dapper in this video!

Dog seatbelt for cheap off Amazon ❌ Dog kennel with a metal frame *NOT OFF AMAZON 😭* ✅ This is not supposed to be a hate comment, if it is taken that way I apologize.

so glad i found this channel again!!

Love seeing this. I trained my dog to be an ESA and did this process many times. I took off his vest to put it through the detector though. I think they still swabbed his harness! (Not comparing my dearly departed ESA with a service dog, of course. To take the term ESA seriously, I looked into psychiatric service dog training and tried applying as much as I could)

I get iv therapy, I have gastroparesis and suspect pots and it helps but I'm trying to seek out better treatment options The treatment that I receive is great, but I want to be able to live my life. But not having to go to the infusion center all the time.

How do I go about getting a service dog or training one?

My dog passed her canine good citizen test at 10 months but I want her to take the PAT so she can fly with me etc. Does she have to be trained as a service dog for those privileges even if I don’t have a disability for her to learn a skill helping?

Literally anyone can get a service shop for almost anything

All those criminals walking in US at the Texas border without any even background check, but Americans and even dog is truly checked ,unbelievable

To add to the issue of unknown dogs approaching your SD. Dont be afraid to protect your dog. If you are going to be soft and say 'shes working sorry'. The other owner isnt gonna care 9/10. Body block the other dog. Use your leg to create space. Grab their collar. Step in front of your dog to protect them! Kick if necessary. Handlers have to start being able and willing to defend the dog that will protect them.

You are too polite! All the best1

I agree that SD handlers are not required to respond to any question, comment, or accusation from the piblic; however, I would argue that the 2 questions should be responded to truthfully. Do be ready to pull out the "I am not required by law to disclose my personal and private health information. I am uncomfortable answering further questions, and will consider further comments harassment." And "Service dogs aren't to be distracted. You are distracting my Service Dog. That is illegal. This is your one and only warning to not harass or assault either of us. ... I am going to call the police." In your pocket to respond to further unwanted questions.

I was at a conference with my SD and partner. We had an elderly man approach us and put his hand out to my SD saying, " Give me kisses." I said, "Stop. He's working." Old man: " Well, he needs a sign saying "No Kisses!" Me "I think it's strange I should have to put a sign on my SD telling people not to make out with him." Old man's wife, " Damnit Harold! I can't take you anywhere!"

ASKING FOR PRAYERS FOR my hubby, Brian. He has been going thru Chemo and Radiation for Cancer. His new scans show 7+spots on his liver. Prayers are greatly appreciated.🙏✝️❤️🕊️💜🌹🪻

Thank you very much for sharing your experiences. It is good to know that I am not the only one that has experienced everything you discussed, and multiple times. I can't count how many times I have tried to be polite, and still had people call me something not-nice.

He swabbed her with what? I have only flown once 20 years ago. What did he swab her with and why? Thank you so much. 😊

Hello, I have FASD syndrome and autism and my service dogs name is Bojangles I would be interested in getting a service dog vest for her from you do you by any chance have any available? Do you sell these service dog vest I would like to get one for her we are from Ky do you do shipping? And would you take $10 less for one for my golden doodle service dog

Thank you so much this makes me feel a lot better this should be talked about more props to you!

I have a owner trained service dog for a psychiatric disability and I want to go to college and someone in that college asked for a doctor's note how can I get a doctor's note

Very informative. Thanks!

I hope this is an appropriate way to ask. But i usually say "hi im (insert my name) and i am interested in getting my own service dog so i was wondering if i could ask you some questions about your dog?" let me know if i am asking in an appropriate way.

I certify for free on the US registry. It is not nesacery but gives me piece of mind.

5nr that just happened to us today 🙁 making a leash banner now Do Not PET… but some people Will never be able to understand 😢

How about, "oh! I didn't realize s/he was a Service Dog!" *dog wearing disability gear* What's it gonna take?! Oi!
