Me And My Service Dog
Переглядів 7303 роки тому
Meet me (Carmen) and my psychiatric service dog Peak! We are super excited to start our journey on UA-cam along side our other platforms. This is an introduction but this account will basically overview my life as a women out of college in my 20’s with a service dog by my side.
I'm new to SD. Mine is still in training. I can't find websites or links to shops. I tried Google searching for websites and etsy search...not what I am looking for. Anyone wanna throw me a bone / websites or 2? Please and thank you.
i have a great dane puppy she is 8 months old and i just bought her first service dog harness her last one was a handy down and we bought the biggest size of the onetigrus guardian vest its so nice and was only $50 just one in a decent price range that some people dont look at
oh my gosh love the festive winter sets! who made your intro art? the style is to die for! 🤎
I’m so sorry for your loss of Peak
I'm so sorry for your loss, my first service dog had to be euthanized 2 years ago. She was a Chihuahua Pitbull mix that we rescued, her name was Lola. I got her when I was 6 and I spent every day training her, playing with her, and walking her, she was my best friend. She didn't become a service dog until I was about 9. My dad was going through legal trouble so I had to move in with my grandma, my dad was the only person in my life that truly cared about me, and I couldn't see him at the time. I started developing major mental issues and Lola started picking up on them. Before I had panic attacks or mental break downs, she would run over to me and jump on my lap, she would not stop licking my face until I calmed down. She nudged my arms so I would hug her and pet her. Eventually, my issues got worse and I was too afraid to go to school. I knew about service dogs because I've always been an avid animal lover, so I started doing research and I realized that she was already a service dog in a way. She preformed tasks and had AMAZING obedience skills because I walked her daily, we went to parks often, and we took her to pet friendly places a few times every week. She grew up around a lot of people and animals so she did great when we started service dog training. My grandma preformed the public access test on us to see how she would do while we were in a mall for the first time, she did PERFECT! We talked with my school and she was approved to go with me daily. I started going to school again with Lola by my side 24/7. My dad was sentenced to prison when I was 11 and I was sent to the mental hospital 3 times in a year, each time I got out my grandma brought Lola with her so I could see her as soon as I got out. Lola was with me for 12.5 years, she was the best damn dog I've ever had. She understood 3 languages, sign language, hand signals, and spelling. She was VERY smart. Sadly, she had a tumor in her stomach that ruptured which is why she was euthanized. We didn't know she had a tumor inside of her. Luckily she didn't suffer for long. As soon as she collapsed in the living room, she was rushed to the vet. She was euthanized and cremated so she could still be with me forever. I miss her so much. My 2nd service dog just retired so I got a standard poodle puppy to be my next service dog. I've had him for about a month now and he reminds me of Lola so much, he even has the same markings and colours as her. He is the perfect puppy so far and he will be starting puppy classes soon. He is finally big enough to fit into Lola's old harnesses! He will be following in her footsteps. Hopefully he won't love food as much as she did though.. Lola loved food more than anything, so she had to be on a strict diet, I had to count her calories and exercise her daily or else she would look like a potbelly pig. She was a smallish dog, she was only 20 pounds, but DAMN! THAT GIRL COULD FIND A SINGLE PIECE OF BACON 3 MILES AWAY IF SHE WANTED TOO! She had a strong nose, and an even stronger food drive. She would do ANYTHING for food. I live behind a grocery store and she ran away while I was gone once... We found her at the shelter that same day and they said a volunteer found her inside of the GROCERY STORE! She climbed over out 6ft tall fence that morning while the store was cooking chicken, I can't believe she made it all the way over there AND went inside. She LOVED food as you can tell. She was an amazing dog, I wish she lived long enough to see me graduate high school, I just graduated.
Can I ask, with the padding on the BioThane is it still wipe clean. My dog is a poop roller - I have been wondering! 😆😅 🐕🦺xx
Something all dog owners know. Every day is a treasure! For me personally, I go on to get a successor as soon as I'm able. I'm afraid of falling to depression (I'm at risk for falling extremely low) and it gives me something positive to work on. As I'm able. I do not look at it as "replacing" my dog, I'm getting a successor for needs I still have. But I know that's not for everyone. Do what you need to do to grieve! Sadly, my (service) dog just passed away a month ago. She wasn't quit 6 yo! She bloated and, by the time we got her to the vet, it was already too late. It tore me apart. I'm sorry about Peak. How old was he?
Do you know anyone that uses the phoenix pack gear? Saw them on instagram and they look amazing for my autistic children's service dogs
You have lots Of very cool gear. Do you have any gear for trade?
I’m jealous with the animal crossing vest
Do you still use the among us vest
I love the Pochita set!
Me too!!! I can’t wait to get his adult Pochita set one day!!!
Omg yesss 🤗
You posted one 2 years ago haha
My gosh how time flies 😭😭
I will ALWAYS watch a gear haul but it makes me especially happy to see my stuff included with some of the great shops I've always admired! Thanks for always hyping all of the gear makers out there <3 cannot wait for you to feel the deluxe pullstrap - Xan of Freckled Frog Gear
Your products are worth the hype!! Love the hard work you put into it so much love from us to you
Glad to see you back here :)
Thank you so much I hope to be back more!!
I just found you today because I’m new to the service dog stuff, I’m so sorry, I’m very sad to hear this news, I hope your doing okay and your feeling better, don’t worry at all, you will see him again for sure, and he will always love you and look after you 💙
Rest In peace beautiful boy 💙
Oh my heart hurts so bad for you 🫂💔
I’m so sorry about Peak he was such a beautiful dog.
Oh no I'm so sorry. We will miss Peak. I heard about that mysterious illness going around in dogs. I'm so scared for my service dog and hope all service dogs that currently don't have it stay safe. Virtual hugsss😢
We are so sorry for your loss. Peak will forever be in our hearts
rest in peace beautiful boy 🤍
So very sorry for d LOSS of PEAK….🙏🏻♥️🐾🐾
I have a service dog, and have found if I don't make them flashy , and dress them in costume accessories I don't have problems with public not taking them seriously.
I have been looking at what to get because I have 3 autistic kids who I am thinking of getting service dogs for.
Thank you for linking where you got your gear. A lot of people do not link where they got it.
I couldn't use traditional red because it's too alarming of a color for my brain, I have to use cool colors like blue and purple so I don't trigger myself 😅
Absolutely love the animal crossing vest!
EVERYTHING IS SO PRETTY
I’m really obsessed with your animal crossing vest. My parents are looking at getting me a service dog because I have a rare disease. loved this video! 🥰
Great suggestions! We have many of those and are great things for new handlers to buy. Another great thing is Allerpet liquid to wipe on your dogs coat in case others may have allergies. We are up north and boots are so important to protect from ice melt and shards of sharp ice! I love standard poodles, they make such amazing service dogs and yours is STUNNING! I adore them vicariously, as I can’t physically handle the needed grooming, and I also needed a strong dog to pull things in a cart or sled. My boy requires minimal grooming, is strong as an ox, is chill around chaos and yet a total klutz. I’m unsure how he’s so empathetic and smart when I’m sure his head is full of cement. 😂
I have a girl. And half of her gear is blue. I hate the color pink. (No offense to anyone, just not a color for me). But I love the color blue. So she got a lot of blue gear. I also have a pocketed bandana as well that I hand made. It's a Christmas plaid one, with black flannel on the back. With just 1 service dog, emergency info inside patch on it. Reason I made it, and made it Christmas, was because just this past December I had surgery on my left hand/wrist. And so wasn't going to be able to get her whole harness and cape in her. So I used the bandana and it just slips over her head. So that way she still had something on her, as well as we still had some of our emergency items.
I really like your Fruits Basket Bandana! I love that anime, it is one of my favorites.
I absolutely love your videos! They are so pleasant, and your voice is really soft and easy to listen to. I’m new to the service dog community, and Kilo and I are a self-trained team.
Where is that rain vest from
Is little orange dog still making gear? I can’t find them anywhere😭
I make my own harnesses and vest I do leatherwork and am fairly decent in my opinion. Buy patches from others working on a rose gold and pink set. I love seeing other people's set up just to seeing what others like for their dogs
Random fact I found online… pink used to be a “boy” color and blue was a “girl” color I believe in England…
Omgggg I love your dogs and your vids so much ❤️
Can i have some advice on how to ask mydoctor for a service dog because i have horrible anxiety and have so other issues that i will not say and i would like to get a service dog to help with that but i just don't know how to ask my doctor i am also doing this behind my parents back because if i sak anything about my mental heath i get told that i just want attention but everything i say is true so i am just stuck and am stressed about telling my parents and my doctor so please drop some advice in the comments and reply to me so that i see it Thank you
Hi! I totally understand your worries, my advice is that you could ask your parents if they could leave the room (or not) and simplify ask for something to help with anxiety. If your parents give you pushback you can just tell them that you just want to know what your doctor has to say. If the doctor doesn't give the option of a service dog, nor gives a better solution, say, "What about service dog, I did some research and belive that would help me a ton, thanks." Hopefully that helps!
My grandma leather sewer she gonna make me one
I find it so weird that people r weird with ur boy dog wearing colors. I have a girl and have every color gear u can think but our normal gear is pink and green and most people think she's a boy. I don't understand society 😪
Are you LGBTQ+ and if so do you have any queer patches?
I know the person who did the original voice of Barbie
The sweet pea bagdana is my favorite
I love seeing your gear and the rest of your videos! I love the chill vibe.
Thank you so much!!!
Thx so much for this vid - exactly the way I’ve been feeling- & now my SDiT & I are off for a hike to recharge! (my pup thx u too!)🐾
Take some rest and enjoy your hike!
Hi. I just found your channel and already love it. I get told my sdit is a fake because of the gear she wears. I don't have much money so I have her in a amazon vest because that is all I can afford. Would you mind suggesting a good but cheap brand of vest.
Hi there! Thank you so much for reaching out and commenting! First of all it’s not the gear that makes a service dog so no matter what gear you use you are valid! In fact I use several Amazon vests because some days they are what’s convenient and work best! But if you are looking for some cheaper brands - under 100 you can check out DapperDoodCo for their harnesses which are lovely in quality, active dogs wear has some great stuff, and also check Facebook for used gear for sale sometimes and it can be great finds!
@@PicksPooches omg I did not think you would reply. Thank you soooo much. I will definitely check though's out. Thank you.
I thought I had a lot lol... I have a bridgeport, a convertible vest/cape, and 2 patch sets
Where did you get your vest cooling vest! I need one haha
In the description
I love pastels and cutesy looks and when looking into my next SD I was wanting a girl though I prefer males because of the mentioned cutesy looks but gave up on that idea for the same reason you mentioned. Bows and pastels are going on my pup regardless! 😅
