I would also do a food test where you give them food and then observe the reaction when you take it away or interfere with their eating. You're checking to make sure they are too possessive or protective of their food. No aggression should be shown.
DavidRomeRecording For a personal pet thats not always a deal breaker... I broke my pup (gsd)of that very early on with a bit of practice. She wasnt overly aggressive to begin with, but began making grumbling sounds and I nipped that in the bud (with patience, not violence). Lots and lots of petting and touching her face while she was eating and IF shed growl, I’d put the food up and wouldnt put it back until I had her attention and we’d start all over again- constant touching playing with the dog food, petting her muzzle, etc. The idea was that if there ever were kids around Id want to know she wouldnt react to a toddler playing in her bowl. She quickly realized that if she wanted to eat, any aggression wasn’t allowed -and now she’s 12 years old and the most PATIENT dog during meal time and in general. Now: I don’t think this method will work for everyone- I cant know that. Just that minor food aggression CAN be worked on at a young age, and was successful for me,is all I’m saying. I do realize this is a video for service animals though.
If you think about it as the leader you shouldn't be taking food out of the predisposed that's for you dish, becouse leaders in wolf packs don't do such so why should a dog never expect there food to be taken or be expected not to be upset or growl when it does? edit: i was saying that its wrong to do it in the first place, i 100% wouldn't doubt a dog for being aggressive when THEIR food is taken or played with, but the idea is that its YOUR FOOD not theirs and your done with the food and that is when they get it after your done, they get to eat, its not their food in the first place, its your scraps and if you want it back you can take it back

Hello, my name is Frances I trained my first service dog a few years ago, but I have never service tested my first service dog, though she is nearing retirement so I am looking for a new one and I thank you for making a video to help handlers figure this out.
That’s actually not how you’re meant to do it, you’re mean to press very lightly on the webbing, increasing pressure until the puppy displays discomfort. Not pain.
I wanted to adopt a this super mellow pup but she was shaking and fearful when the person did the Volhard temperament test. The breeder told me the pup was intelligent, cuddly and , friendly but she does scare if she hears a siren, I was told she would out grow fearfulness . Told by a trainer that fearfulness is not a good sign and it could be genetic predisposition and lead to a biting dog later if the dog isn't able to get over the fear .and that pup cannot be therapy dog.
I’m training a 3 year old yorki to be a PSDIT! But he’s never even played fetch it’s never been his thing lol I’ve honestly never had a dog that would fetch for me. I’ve had odd dogs.
Most dogs won't fetch. Usually retriever breeds, hunting breeds and livestock dogs are the only ones that will. I have an Aussie that loves fetching for hours, and I have a Greyhound/Rhodesian Ridgeback mix that just stares at me like I'm an idiot when I throw the toy. My first service dog would chase the toy, but never bring it back or pick it up. Dogs are odd little guys! The fetching part isn't necessary unless you need a dog to pick something up for you, but since a Yorkie is so small, they won't help much.
my boy passes all the tests and is great but he's not freaking food motivated, he wants to obey naturally though, like he follows the food lure into position and then stops when i praise him but doesn't take the food. idek
I heard that it is okay as long as they are obedience and does actually listen to you when you repeat the commands and to not lose willingness to follow your commands
Each animal is different some dogs are food motivated while others are motivated by praise and affection or toys I have had each dog type as a service dog I actually prefer the affection motivated pups over the others less to carry with you for training and in my case have seen a higher work drive. Main issue I have seen with food driven dogs is that some newer handlers may overly depend on the treats and not vary up enough how often they are given leading to the dog only working for food and not with out it which can be a huge issue with sd

My Golden Doodle recently passed her tests and is now a service dog.

@@-touya_todorokiAlpha theory has been debunked long ago, and debunked by the person who first proposed it. There is no “leader of the pack”.

make sure you test to see if they are food motivated, if they arent food motivated training will be a lot harder
Awww I’m too soft to do the pinch test
That’s actually not how you’re meant to do it, you’re mean to press very lightly on the webbing, increasing pressure until the puppy displays discomfort. Not pain.
Yea

Dogs don’t grow out of fearfulness
The pinch test could be a simple finger between the toes, rather then a pinch
Can you do these tests with older dogs?
Yeah probably
I did my older dog, she scored a 4 :)

Pinch between toes, puppy yelps softly, aww, I'm sorry puppy, ☹️. Looks at human dropping metal bowl, silly human.
I startled more at the bowl drop than the dog did XD

I switched him to protection training instead of service dog and training using toys has worked perfectly
