I love this. I have a service dog in training and she’s still working on self control when it comes to “direct contact” with people. She’s 9 months old and when people touch her/pat her down, she thinks she’s not working anymore. I switch to a slip lead (has no metal on it) and walk through with her. I’ve had no issues. I just grab my belongings and keep it moving.
I use a gentle lead to train Freja on distraction and pulling. Good idea to set boundaries for your service down when it is OK to interact with people and when it is time to work. Try to train your service dog with training in the gear. Freja knows when it is time to work when she has her gear on. On Duty and off duty is a great concept to train self-control. I am still owner training Freja since she is almost 17 months. I would do a lot of handling exercises with treats. Also let people try to handle your dog when they are off duty.
I think you did a great job as migraine Jen. And probably the wonders of editing. But you were clear, interesting and to the point. Thanks for the video, and the information.
Thank you so much for this video. I'm trying my dog to be my service dog. And this was a nerve racking thing for me. Thank you for explaining it. This is my very first time doing all of this. So this video helped me so much. Any advice is very much appreciated 😊. I'm trying my dog to help with my social anxiety or anxiety in general and my high functioning autism and my adhd (not hyper but I get hyper fixated or focused and it can be hard to switch gears into doing something else 😅) . My dog is a Cavachon named Sunny and he's a super sweet boi with a heart of gold 💛. Do you have any advice for hotels for service dogs?
Super helpful info. I’m getting ready to possibly fly with my boy and it’s definitely giving me some anxiety about the whole thing. Our trainer says he’s ready to do this.
SAME I am going on my first flight with my SD and I am terrified of taking all her stuff off, so I would much rather have both of us patted down (despite hating being touched) than have something go wrong. Most of her work is done at home, but even when we go out its not usually to big crazy places like malls or airports so we've been practicing so much for the sake of training as much as my own comfort and being able to believe in her and that it will go smoothly. As stated in the video if they sense you doubt them, then they will also doubt you and that's when things can go wrong more often than not.
Glad to see service dog videos are coming back 🎉 I have an Assistance Dog in Australia and am considering flying with her (domestically on short flight first to see how it goes). How long can Buddy hold his pee for? Whats the maximum flight length you would consider taking him (I mean how many hours max)? Toilet stuff is what I am most worried about.
My dog isn't a service dog but she holds her pee a ridiculous amount of time. I can be gone all day but she doesn't want out when I come home. My friend's have to get someone to let their dog out after just a few hours. Every dog is different. I would take notes on how often does your dog ask to pee? Learn your dog's habits.
Definitely depends on the dog, and even if they CAN it doesn't mean they SHOULD. Buddy is a hold-it-forever type, so I'd say 16 hours is the max I'd be comfortable with for him, but with strategy in place for when to limit food and water. I'm choosing that number because that's the stretch he seems comfortable with naturally if I don't ask him to pee in the morning. I've never tested or thought about this, total gut reaction answer 🤷🏼♀️
I am in a wheelchair and use to fly regularly with my service dog. They cannot separate dog from handler ( even to go through and then call your dog through). It's ADA. Where I go, she goes! I never had an issue. They just sing a wand around me and my dog...no pat down, no touching.
I wish they would let you practice going thru a security checkpoint, I am flying with my service dog for the first time and I know he will feel my anxiety any suggestions .
Can you bring ice through security? like ice to keep food cold for your service dog and ice in their water bottle without any water in it to fill up water you get through security
Does anyone know if they allow an extra bag for supplies? I know they allow it for like medical equipment and technically the dog is medical. Like if I have a whole backpack in addition to my carry on limit do I have to pay for it cause it has my service dogs equipment in it?
I got told that I need a I’d for my dad that proofs he’s mine? Like I’m his handler. That really confused me. I don’t have a birth certificate for my dog. What do you use?
At one point I was a service dog handler (she passed away in March of 2020) and haven't found another potential dog yet. But I wasn't able to go through metal detectors/body scanners when I had to fly because of medical equipment in and on me. I always had to opt for pat downs however, I actually prefer to do the strip search option because of how severe my chronic pain conditions are (light pressure hurts to no end while deep pressure feels good for me- best to not ask.....).
FWIW, I trained my wife's Service Dog, (Such an amazing creature) he is young 2 years now and has been on 2 flights with American Airlines, The experience with both them and the TSA was awesome. My wife has a lot of metal implants and usually opts for the pat down so I walk her SD through security and neither of us has set off alarms. We don't fly enough to warrant the expense of doing a pre-check. YMMV.
I’m about to do this (travel on a plane) for the first time with my SD and have gone back and forth of just not going … 🤣 sounds irrational but I’m so afraid she’s going to just be doing this and that and people videoing us . 🤦🏽♀️ 😅😂
There are some creators on etsy who make no metal harnesses, leashes and collars for service dogs, they just use the plastic clips, zippers and clasps instead of the metal ones.
You should talk about Angel Flight. These people provide free flights for people in need of medical treatment far from home using volunteer general aviation pilots and aircraft. Just totally skip TSA. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angel_Flight
also, if you have liquid medicine like saline bags or banana bags or liquid food they have a special machine that can test the liquids and you can have them. Also good for baby bottles.
"naked Buddy" sounds like a cartoon companion to Garfield :D
Lol! Garfield and naked buddy: THE MOVIE 😂😂😂
I knew as soon as I saw you that it was Migraine Jen. Buddy is such a LOVE! 💕
☝️ True friend! To me, my face is so sunken when I'm migraine jen. Especially in my eyes. The CSF leak makes so much sense!
@@MommingwithMigraine Slightly unfocused eyes, and also can hear the hesitation in your voice. I could tell, too.
@@PGH0221 very observant! Totally right.

It's so interesting that I could see from your eyes it's Migraine Jen, and I was wondering if I was wrong because you introduced simply as "Jen."
I think you did a great job as migraine Jen.
And probably the wonders of editing.
But you were clear, interesting and to the point.
Thanks for the video, and the information.
Just don't get out the thermometer 😂😂😂😂. Totally worth repeating EVERYTIME ❤

Just wait for the, "You said that last time." or now, "Yea I saw that in your video."
Thank you
You're welcome! 💜
Do you do TSA cares? We are flying with my daughter’s service dog for the first time soon
I am in a wheelchair and use to fly regularly with my service dog. They cannot separate dog from handler ( even to go through and then call your dog through). It's ADA. Where I go, she goes! I never had an issue. They just sing a wand around me and my dog...no pat down, no touching.

There are also tsa collar and leashes that have no metal
Great video. What is your advise in order to get your service dog trained for TSA screening?
Most airports you can check in as a visitor and go through security for practice!
Does anyone know if they allow an extra bag for supplies? I know they allow it for like medical equipment and technically the dog is medical. Like if I have a whole backpack in addition to my carry on limit do I have to pay for it cause it has my service dogs equipment in it?
Hope you are okay now. Please dont forget all the paperwork flying with a service dog like. DOT
Yes! We'll do that separately 💜
I got told that I need a I’d for my dad that proofs he’s mine? Like I’m his handler. That really confused me. I don’t have a birth certificate for my dog. What do you use?
To any service dog handlers: would you say that TSA Precheck is worth it to lower the stress of going through security with your sd?
At one point I was a service dog handler (she passed away in March of 2020) and haven't found another potential dog yet. But I wasn't able to go through metal detectors/body scanners when I had to fly because of medical equipment in and on me.

Jen, how do you cope with iih on planes?
My prosthetic leg sets off both the metal detector.
My service dog his chip set the alarm on. Does anybody else knows that?
That's interesting! Buddy is chipped but I haven't had to think of that because I always leave his gear on.
My service dog is usually scanned with a wand but chip never set off the alarm if that helps.
I’m about to do this (travel on a plane) for the first time with my SD and have gone back and forth of just not going … 🤣 sounds irrational but I’m so afraid she’s going to just be doing this and that and people videoing us . 🤦🏽♀️ 😅😂
They swab for explosives
And my power wheelchair usually comes up positive for some reason! They are use to false positives with wheelchairs I'm told so no worries.
Not useful for me , too much unnecessary talking
this comment not useful for me, unnecessary talking. 😉🙃
You talk to much about nothing I have to stop the video with your none getting to the point stuff.
Go to a different channel then 🤷🏼♀️

also, if you have liquid medicine like saline bags or banana bags or liquid food they have a special machine that can test the liquids and you can have them. Also good for baby bottles.
the swabs are for checking for ________ residue and the wand is just another metal detector
