ROTTWEILER GETS IN MY SERVICE DOG'S FACE?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 лют 2017
- Hey everyone! Thank you so much for tuning in to another video of Voodoo the Siberian Husky working! We went out to Petsmart for a small training outing and had an unfortunate encounter with a Rottweiler. The owner didn't try hardly at all to keep his dog from pulling towards Voodoo and about 6 times (which I cut out of the video) let his dog stick his face into Voodoo's while I was visibly trying to keep her focused on the task at hand. He was whining and pulling at Voodoo the entire time even if it isn't super clear in the video D:
Please, if you see a working dog DO NOT let your dog pull up to them and please don't bombard the handler with a million questions. I'm always very nice and try to answer questions, but it's a pain when 20 minutes of our training session is taken up just by one person's questions.

You can train Voodoo to paw you, or whine, or whatever you want with a subtle signal, so if you're in an uncomfortable situation you can signal voodoo to do something and you can excuse yourself to "take her to pee"
That's such a good idea! I can definitely do that so next time I can walk away easier! Thank you!
Excellent advice Morgan Johnson, a very helpful comment indeed! :-)
i hope more people hear this idea
Morgan Johnson Great advise for regular dog owners like me too haha! I sometimes need to avoid those parents who want to pet my dog.
Great advice ! People try to my SD and all I do is sit there doing what Kim did . Thanks 🙏👍❤️
The rotties no pull harness is on wrong too.
It totally was hahaha
Hah! It totally is! The gray part is supposed to go under the arms. good catch.
maddy Olvera it is on wrong
maddy Olvera actually it’s not, it is quite a different type. It helps the dog sty with you. So when you tug it will come forward. It is not in wrong, gentle leader brand does it for a reason
She's correct that it is on wrong. The silver straps go behind the legs not on the top... either way it still works the same tho.
People assume that if you have a dog in PetSmart/Petco, then it's 100% okay to let their dog be all over yours. Someone did this to my girl, and despite me telling them multiple times to control their dog and keep it away from my Service Dog, they completely ignored me and let their dog finally pester my girl into playing. When I pulled her away, they followed us and let the dog keep bothering us. I had literally JUST gotten her to not try to go towards other dogs in stores while she had her gear on (she wouldn't try to play, just get excited and want to say a quick hello before moving on and pretending it never happened, finally broke her of that and she'd be content with sniffing the other service dog if they came close and the handler said they didn't mind if the two said hello), but now she tries to run to the other service dogs to play -_- So part of her training was ruined, and it's HELL trying to retrain that! She still follows every other part of her training just fine, and thankfully we rarely run into other Teams, but I'm still pissed that some bitch thought it was okay to ruin her training despite me REPEATEDLY saying to get their dog away and control it. At least they got kicked out for it and told that the dog couldn't come back to the store since they obviously weren't going to make an attempt at controlling it. But I've made some progress on retraining, at least. We'll be going to Petco soon for a long retraining session. Well, partial. Just for ignoring dogs with the Ignore command, she still follows it for literally any other distraction I give the command for.
Thank you so much!!! I agree, even with my dogs who aren't Service Dogs I NEVER let them greet or play on leash, it's just not safe and it's really irresponsible! And that's the biggest point to not letting dog's come up to Service Dogs, they think it's okay all the time and they lose months (sometimes years) of training and it sucks!! Thank you for sharing this!
You're welcome! I still do have to take her with me when I go out, though, I don't have the option to leave her home. It sucks, but like I said, it's quite rare we see another Team out, so we don't run into issues. So there's that much, at least. Until I get her retrained on that one part.
In situations where other people refuse to respect a strange dog's personal space, I feel it's perfectly appropriate to kick the other dog away. If words don't get the message across, actions will.
RayRay Risin to lazy to read
Oh my gosh that sounds like it would be so annoying! I don't have a service dog, but I have a normal dog..? Not a dog, a puppy :3 so far I've taught him to scratch the back door when he needs to go potty. Top that, service dogs! ;-;
he was trying to impress u with his dog and it failed
Eating Aleks for the past minute I thought the mouse in your profile pic had a big mouth but it was it's arm
The GamingMeme1 😂 that's a rat
The rat in your profile pic is so cute but I thought it was smiling evilly.
So cute I love ur service dog I've always wanted a husky service dog but I have a pitbull service dog and I love him
My Animal Channel I'm just curious with you having a pittie do you have problems sometimes with access to places because of "the breed"? I had 2 of them myself about 10 years ago just as pets though and I miss them so much. They get such a bad name but it is all how they are raised. I now have a chihuahua who will be 6, have had her since she was born, and she is now my service dog as well for me for my PTSD
Tanya Campilonga well no I do not have access problems I just get stares and sometimes younger people like probably mid 20's or even in early 20's just come up to me and ask if they can pet him and I just say no sorry he's working in a polite way never rude and sometimes they tell me that pit bulls are vicious dogs and I say well it all depends on how u raise them and how u treat them
My Animal Channel how.do you socialize your dog then you have to let these kinds of dogs socialize or it can become a problem I have a pit in TRAINING right now and just a puppy but I allow kids, all ages to touch him..and I get the while.in public thing once he starts to work but ya gotta let people touch him or that would be a problem.?
Niki Gurle he was a puppy when I started training him then I started to walk him get him introduce to other moving objects like vehicles, other strangers, and other dogs small and big but it took him a while oh and had him get use to my handicap bike and wheelchair
My Animal Channel ohhh that sucks? Did he bite someone?
I noticed when you told Voodoo to lie down the guy also tried telling his dog to lie down. Idk why but I think it's funny when people see a service dog doing something and then they tell their dog to do it but they have to repeat it a bunch times instead of once. Like....
Yep, it happens all the time!
Little Husky Voodoo I've always wanted a husky or a dog that looked like a wolf.
Kerice Wadsworth there is a breed of dog called a wolf dog that is a mix of a domesticated dog and a wolf. I don't know that much about the breed but they are very beautiful and do resemble wolves a lot.
Kimber Goehl they are not pets they are just as dangerous as a a full blooded wolf, and they are illegal to own in many states, they require lots of training and a large fenced in area, raw diet and can not be let around other animals or children they are not a breed but a hybrid, but there are breeds of dog that look like wolves with out having any wolf bloodlines, I say this because I know people who have owned a wolf dog/wolf hybrid and they are not something to want
Kimber Goehl wolf dogs aren't a breed of dog, theyre just a mix of a wolf and a dog. are you thinking of tamaskan dogs? they are a dog breed that was designed to look like a wolf but they are fully domesticated animals
Voodoo is so beautiful.
Thank you!
oh hey! didn't expect to see you here :0
Beta Kokichi Ouma same
Clockwork Raven o.o didn't expect u here.. Hello
I have a Rottweiler named Athena. Sweet as can be, loves children and let's them pull and tug at her without flinching. However, has severe dog aggression. I can hardly take her anywhere because of the chance there might be a dog or dogs there. I occasionally take her to pet stores. It's humiliating having to pull her away to a back corner to calm down while everyone is staring at her and whispering. I just want her to be exposed to normal dog things... One time we accidentally encountered a SD and it was mortifying. Athena and I didn't even see it coming, it just turned the corner and boom they were nose to nose. Athena lunged and started barking. The SD and the handler were shaken up and the SD was totally distracted 100% and everyone in the store was so angry at me O felt horrible. Athena just laid sprawled in my lap like nothing was happening and I was trying not to cry. Someone even said rotties "are even worse than those damn pitbulls." I just want her to be normal and not hated by people who don't know her the way our family and friends do.
"Rotties are worse than those pitbulls"
Me: Well are you a specialist in animal behavior? No, do you even have one? Highly doubt it, do you even know about 'aggression'? I don't think so, go to Wikipedia and find out.
I have anger problems '~' But I've been working on not suddenly wacking anyone so I guess I'm getting better ;) but sometimes I just can't snap back :(
I'd say you should try to distract her. Like you could go near a house that has dogs (securely) in the yard and (using treats) try to get her to stay focused on you. Though I would say you should work on simple commands that force her to focus first, otherwise it would just be a big mess (with lots of barking)
Because of the dog aggression i would advice you not bring your dog to dog stores or dog parks or anywhere that may have dogs for now. Your dog needs a good dog trainer like Cesar Millan who can train him or her to be okay around other dogs. You dont want your dog to be aggressive towards other dogs, it can be a dangerous situation for dogs and anyone around while an aggressive moment is happening. Please think about getting a well known dog trainer to help you with your dog.
I’m not a dog trainer and I can only share my own personal experience. One of my dogs (Bo) is dog aggressive and was insanely reactive on leash/leash aggressive. He’s tried to attack a calm husky puppy in the past. The best thing that worked for him was constant prolonged exposure to dogs and people on structured walks in various situations a few times a day on a daily basis. He went from one of those lunging barking dogs to a perfect, calm heel on leash. I taught heeling with rewards at first on his harness for about a month and switched to his flat buckle collar and an e collar by e collar technologies while being paid with food and praise only for focusing on me. I don’t let anyone pet him because he doesn’t like people and I don’t let any dogs come up to him. I’d like to teach him some off leash heeling soon. He ignores people and dogs now. Even ones that walk right by us on the side walk. Even the dogs that run up to us behind fences. Even the reactive dogs that bark at him. I don’t have calm, neutral dogs to socialize him with yet so for now he’s not dog friendly. He went from losing his mind around dogs and people to completely ignoring dogs and people but that doesn’t mean he likes people and dogs. He’s just learned to relax around them. It takes work to get your dog to chill out around other dogs. Bo achieved this mostly through food and praise because he is fortunately food driven outside. The e collar was added in to solidify his heel and to correct him for inappropriately going after dogs, which I’ve only had to do once. I used to feel like I’d never be able to take him to a place like petsmart or petco but he is so well behaved now, I think he may be able to handle it.
Oh it's your own fault if you take your dog to a (pet friendly) public place and there's an issue. You know there's a chance of an agressive dog being present
while watching I just realized we have the same boots
No way!! I love these boots!
Just wanted to say that Voodoo is a fabulous name.
Thank you!! She's named after Voodoo Donuts!
I hate how he pulls the rottie when you first show it...he litteraly pulls the leash up and drags the dog....and if you see a service dog the appropriate approach is to walk away and don't let your dog get all up in its face
It was incredibly frustrating!
I don't have a service dog but it annoys me that most people pet service dogs and I'm over the other side of the room knowing not to pet it. ( it's painful not to pet a dog but I get through it)
Thank you! It's hard to find people who are respectful and it's really appreciated!
Yes, you have to appreciate them from a distance, then go home and watch UA-cam videos on animals, lol! :-)
Gilberta Mayhem
YEAHHH BROOOO IM HYPED UP TO WATCH SOME CUTE ANIMALS TUMBLING OVER (and sleeping) thanks for the recommendation ❤️
I just came across your videos and I just think they are wonderful. I used to work for a family helping to care for their little girl with disabilities. The girls mother had mobility issues herself and was also deaf and had a beautiful service dog. I became fascinated by the relationship between service dogs and their handler. It's such a precious friendship. Service dogs are such wonderful dedicated animals. These videos bring me a lot of joy, thank you☺️
Thank you so much for your sweet comment! It really means a lot!
Little Husky Voodoo you are so welcome
that is cute dogo nice end screen it has cool coat of fur plz link were to get!
Frustratingly Savage The more I stare at your profile picture, the more I laugh 😂
Frustratingly Savage noice
Frustratingly Savage NOICE
im glad so many people know that meme its super nice wait that not right oh yea NOICE
in what language are you commands (lie down)?
They are in Russian!
Little Husky Voodoo That's pretty smart. I've heard of people telling other people's service dogs to sit or something to troll with them (Yeah it's really stupid and could be dangerous) And I think that's really smart. That way other people don't know your commands.
My girl is going through protection/obedience training and she doesn't listen to anyone else telling her to sit or down. She looks at me first, if I tell her "listen to them" she will do what they say, but not until I tell her to listen. Its a pain in the ass to train that into a dog though... which is why most people train protection dogs in some other language, usually German (at least here in the US.)
Training in a different language, such as Russian, is an awesome step to fool proof your dog though since it wont know what "sit" means and its much easier to keep them from being distracted.
WOW! NICE catch!
@Culvey - Thank you! That's amazing.
Little Husky Voodoo i speak russian too..!
You are a very kind person. I have come across a few people here on youtube that own service animals and it seems a trent that their videos are of them being smug and rude to people that do not know anything about how to behave around one. I am happy to see that not everyone with a service animal is an impulsive and argumentative person. And your dog is beautiful. I hope you both live long and happy lives!!!
I see that WAY too often in the Service Dog Community, and while some people in the general public can be rude most just genuinely don't know any better or want to learn more! If more handlers were open to talking with people in a nice manner I don't think we would have so many issues with people in public being invasive!
Funny how the guy was trying to sit his Rottweiler and he didn't listen lol😂
Going to Pet Smart and places like that where other dogs are allowed I imagine must be tricky. Some people lack common sense and some dogs lack control. I once defended a women in Pet Smart because she apparently asked if another womans dogS would stay away from hers, which made sense becasue she had 3 small dogs, and they barked in there non stop, and jolted toward other dogs. Anyway she asked because her dog was working and the women went off saying she was pretentious and thought she was better because her dog was trained and saying her dogs can go anywhere they want, AND she asked why the woman even had a service dog if she could walk. I heard the argument the next aisle over and wanted to explain because I don't have a service dog, but I'm really interested in the training they go through. This lady couldnt comprehend anything i was telling her. Not that he's literally working, like a police dog would. Not that you dont need a physical disability to have a SD, nothing.
I told the woman with the SD she didnt have to sit here and be yelled at by an idiot. She yelled at me for that, but I'm mean and wasn't having her assault, so I waited until the woman with the SD was out of sight and called the lady stupid again and walked away since I didn't have to deal with it.
I wouldn't usually jump in arguments but that woman was just insane.
You're so awesome for defending her! I don't think people realize that Service Dogs legally HAVE to be able to ignore other dogs to be able to perform their tasks and stay focused. The only way we can train for that is by exposing them to other dogs in a store setting, and while they're in training I wouldn't take them into a regular store. I always make sure to stay a good distance away from other people's dogs and make sure I let them know that she's working and they'll usually leave us alone and give us respectable space!
That was a great training opportunity for Voodoo and for you. It seems like Voodoo did a great job keeping his cool and did not absorb the stress you were obviously feeling. I am still working on this skill with my dog, Luvy. i get stressed out in public sometimes and when I do, I can tell she feels it. Kudos for both of you guys. Hopefully you have overcome this issue by now.
:( that hit hard when he pulled the poor dogs harness
I love Voodoo! She looks so fluffy and cuddly! I can tell you've put in a lot of time and hard work with her.
Thank you so much!
I'm tearing up! Voodoo is just so precious!! The way she licked your hand while you pet her was so adorable! I've been researching service dogs for my sister's PTSD and I'm really hoping that she can find one. But I do want to be with her a lot if she does so I can keep people from messing with her or the dog.
Thanks for posting!!
Thank you!!
We just found your channel when researching on how to create our own. You two are just great!!
Thank you!
I know most people were mad but I think it's good that you took the time to educate him and I feel like you're a lot more kind about it then some people on UA-cam with service dogs. Although I understand it's frustrating some people just don't know better and getting mad at them for just simply being ignorant to it doesn't help all that much..so thank you for being so understanding and kind about it even though you were annoyed :)
Desy Kee You aren't kidding. I saw a video earlier today where the handler was in Walmart and bit someone's head off just because the person's young child looked at her SD from a distance. Having to constantly educate people must be frustrating, but many people just honestly don't know the proper way to act around service animals and you really can't expect young children not to look at dogs.
Primalxbeast educating people shouldn’t be frustrating some people have no idea what sd are. if someone has a sd and gets mad because someone asks them about they shouldn’t have a sd 🤷🏽♀️
I love how you told Voodoo to wait and he/she just sat there like *wait.
.
Master*
I never seen a huskey as a service dog. Its cool. How did you come up with her name
Thank you! She is named after Voodoo Donuts! She's a special case as she came from a good breeder and was specifically hand picked for SD work :)
You have a very well trained dog! You are a great trainer, and I'm glad you found the SD right for you.
Thank you!
I had a Siberian named her Tasha. She was not a service dog but provided some great companionship. Siberian' s do require a bit extra handling but are wonderful. They are very loyal and loving. You two look like a great pair. I will be looking forward to future videos.
i do not have or need a service dog, but i absolutely love watching videos on training them and what not to do around a service dog if it is not your own. loved this video
Thank you!
The bond between service dogs and their handlers is truly amazing
It is!
Your dog is absolutely beautiful! And I very well understand how much of a pain it is. whenever I'm with a friend or family member and I see a service dog I notify them so that they don't go running up to the owner and ask to pet the animal
i have a 2 year old Husky/Rottie mix that i so adore, She is not a trained service dog yet she does the deep pressure of a trained therapy dog. If I am all tense or anxious she responds by either getting in my lap or sitting next to me and pressing hard into me. It really amazed me the first time she did it. She is a mix of the smartest dogs on the planet in my opinion and these action sure prove it :) I would recommend the breeds as service dogs. Voodoo is again proof because she is such a wonderful caring companion. Good luck with your future training sessions :)
I strongly believe that most dogs have a natural sense of when something is wrong, and if you have a close connection with them they can definitely help you in those areas!
i just had to have my beagle put down a few months ago. although he wasnt a trained service dog he helped me therpeutically as i have bipolar illness. he kept me grounded. i sure do miss him. his name was jake. i adopted him from a shelter and he was 7. but he had heartworms when i got him. i couldnt pay the medical bills for him, it was so sad. youre dog looks very sweet.
I'm so sorry for your loss :( That's amazing that he still helped you! Dogs are amazing like that!
i love you and your dog!! very well mannered and very well handled!
Thank you!
Damn.... I taught my daughter as young as 3-4yrs that if she wants to pet ANY dog she's to ask me, then the owner if I say yes. And to never make distractions around a service dog - just pretend they're not there. She thought it was awful at first but after I explained that they're doing their job and they has to concentrate. The dog could be watching for signs that someone is going to have an epileptic fit, and if the dog is distracted he/she might not warn the person in time and they could get badly hurt. After explaining that she understood how important it is, to the extent that she'll wait until we're out of earshot before saying did you see that pretty service dog - or she just nudges me and nods in the dogs direction....
Unless it's explained to people they just don't get it... but you'll always get the few that think they know better......
You're the best! Keep the good work up!
Absolutely wonderful. Much respect.
Everytime i go somewhere and i see a service dog i don't even say awe. I just think it in my head and just look at them and smile at the owners and then walk away. So i don't disturb them or distract.
Thank you so much! I'm sure the handlers really appreciate that!
also were did you get the music?
i've never seen such a well trained husky!! good job, girl!
Thnk you!
If I see an on-lead dog when I'm with my dog, we take off in the other direction! Especially if it's a service dog. (This is mostly because my dog is a loon)
I do it too! Even if I have my other pet dog, I don't like my dogs greeting others on a leash! Haha all my dogs are loons so I total get that!
Yeah me either, it's way too confrontational! and there's no escape if anything happens
Gosh I love voodoo's eyes! You have a gorgeous dog!
The main dogs I want to give affection to are the very same dogs we're told not to distract, Lol. Thankfully I can contain my affection to a smile and a nod to the owner if it would feel welcome. It takes a lot of work to train and care for a service dog and I appreciate the people who do. Thank You!!
That's awesome! Thank you for being so aware!
Not a question, I just want to say what a beautiful dog you have there. and awesome video :)
Thank you!
I don't understand why you had to specify the dog was a rottie in the title instead of just saying dog, like the breed has a bad rep for no reason. (Not at all saying the actions of the rottie or its owner were okay, just pointing out something that bothered me as a rottie owner)
beautiful Brit i have 3 rotties that i take everywhere, including the dog park. They always get the bad reputation when it really depends on the amount and quality of socialization and training that they receive. they are great dogs!!!
Sorry about that, the only reason I included the breed was because it was hard to tell in the video what breed the dog was. This was recorded on my phone before I had my good camera and it was harder to tell :/ I did own a Pitbull before Voodoo and Opal so I totally get breed discrimination and wasn't trying to portray that in any way :)
beautiful Brit I understand completely. I have 4 Rotties and they're all well trained and socialised. This breed has a bad rep but they are beautiful when they have good owners and well trained
beautiful Brit wouldn't have mattered anyways. Cuz people can tell what breed it was cuz of the pic
Me to! Mine is super gentle (as most are) tbh the owner seemed like a pretty ok owner and was just trying to be nice, and really tbh the Rottie wasn't even aggressive...didn't seem to get in her face like the video said, just wanted to say hi
I wish I had a service dog of any kind but I have 2 emotional animals that help me with my anger and everything the animals are a Bearded Dragon and a Dog the type of dog is a Doberman Pinscher. And I love them very much!!!
Wow! I love this! My service dog in training gets distracted just like that when people approach us and ask questions. It's hard to have conversations and focus on my dog at the same time. Also I think it's funny he was talking about the classes at petsmart. I don't really have high regards for them and I feel it's a waste of time and money.
Thank you! Honestly the only class I recommend are the puppy classes purely for socialization BUT if you have a local trainer or doggy daycare they would have a fa better program for puppy training! Other than that I like to train my own dogs, I don't trust anyone else to do it!
The 4-H dog obedience program in my area won't let the members use the classes at petsmart as an alternative to the classes. If you have a legitimate reason approved by the instructor to miss the group classes they do one on one make up sessions.
I think you where awesome for handling that situation I would have had a massive anxiety attack, not because of the dog but because I get really anxious around people.
Thankfully it didn't trigger my anxiety so I was able to have a really good conversation with him!
Wow, bravo for ur patience and ur attitude. The last video I watched was of a handler who makes videos that somehow always seem to be villanizing everyone she has contact with despite the videos only showing what any person would do if they were aware of how to interct with a service dog. I understand how she can be this way but I also think its not right for her to always blame everyone else for her negative reactions to them, like not everyone is out to get u and the way she treats people reflects her attitude towards others. So I just wanted to say that ur attitude was great, u actually stay talking to people rather than showing ur annoyed and u can hear how polite u are with ur interactions, and u said u always try to educate every chance u get. So I just wanted to say thank u for doing that, for being patient and not over dramatizing stuff and for simply spreading a message, well atleast not only the message about how to not interact with service dogs, but just as important.............how sometimes people should just be patient with others who arent as educated about the issues and for showing others to positively interact with each other even in situations where u are frustrated with what they are doing.
Thank you so much for such a sweet comment! I see that a TON in the Service Dog Community and it breaks my heart. There are a lot of people who just genuinely don't know better and too many handlers act like everyone should already and automatically know everything about SD's, which is absolutely ridiculous!
I'm not trying to hate on the vid, I see your great with her and enjoy what you do, but was it really necessary to put Rottweiler in the tittle? I have one myself and she is super gentle, Ik it's only there for the views tbh cause people expect a super aggressive dog... this is why Rotties have a bad rape, and in the vid I didn't see him getting in her face at all really, just being nice and greeting her, nothing aggressive, idk just y couldn't it just b dog? People can easily tell it's a Rottie in the vid if they really cared about the breed
I only put the breed in the title because the thumbnail is blurry! I absolutely love Rotties!
Voodoo is so obedient and beautiful! Service Dogs are so helpful, they're your best friend who also saves your life!
Thank you!
Hi! So I am training my German shep to become an ESA but I was told they weren't allowed in stores or anything like that because (obviously) they aren't service dogs. She's doing really well not getting distracted, reminding me to take my pills, grabbing my pills for me, helping me with my depression (still training for PTSD and anxiety.) but I was wondering is this true? I'm so confused because she's doing so great!
ESA's are only allowed in housing and on airplanes but sadly do not have public access. The reasoning behind this is that if you truly feel that your disability inhibits your ability to live a normal day-to-day life then you do need a Service dog, not an ESA :) I started out with an ESA for years and finally my therapist didn't see any progress and found that I was actually getting worse so she prescribed a SD to me :) Definitely go in and talk with your medical or mental health professional about it!
You can actually get service dogs specifically for PTSD, so if you train her to help you with that I'm sure she'd be considered a proper service dog! C'=
@@good.voodoo what you are describing is a service dog not a ESA. A esa is a untrained dog that only provides comfort. If you dog preforms any type of task its a service dog not esa.
as a trainer at PetSmart who brings my puppy with me to work as my demo dog I can tell you this happens all the time. I have repeatedly told people before that Strider isn't allowed to go up to random dogs without permission, and that he can say hi once he sits... I'll repeat it over and over and they still won't pull there dog out of my dogs face even long enough for him to sit. they will see me repeatedly moving back to try and give space so I can get my dogs focus, and just keep stepping forward. not at all surprising honestly. not good by any stretch of the imagination, but not good.
Yes! It's not because she's a Service Dog, it's seriously just not polite at all and a large portion of dog fights start because people just let their dogs run up and get in other dogs' faces. It's incredibly frustrating especially because I pride myself on keeping my dogs safe and not having any of them ever get into dog fights. I try so hard to properly socialize them and one bad encounter could undo all those years of hard work!
"Hey I can teach my dog to wait for me for a long time and what can you do?"
"My dog can't even sit..."
Hi my name is Aimee and I’m new to your channel and I have to say you’re dog is one of the most beautiful dogs I’ve seen
Thank you!
i think that a service dog is the best thing for a person so needs it and them doing a very good job for that it is train for, . iam glad that i learn more about them :)
Gorgeous dog
I have 3 huskies my self but I have never seen one as a service dog that’s really cool
I absolutely love your channel
oh my gosh just found your Chanel and you look so much like my older sister does it scared me at first XD
That's crazy!!
Little Husky Voodoo the only thing different is my sister is a cat person
Wow, your dog is absolutely gorgeous!
Thank you!
Extremely focused! Pretty cool!
Thank you!
if you don't mind me asking, what did you PTSD root from
if its a sensitive topic I'll understand
When a dog gets in voodoos face like that what do you do? Like if it happens every time you go to a store and you politely ask them to SCRAM and they dont what do i do
I usually just ask her to get behind me or stand between them to avoid anything happening :)
Two very wonderful ladies; VooDoo and you!
Maybe you referred to it in another video but how did you get your dog? I’m in the market for one and deciding if I want to train my own or go through an agency
great job with a handsome boy. my SD Snow and i have drive by pettings all the time.
Lmao, I like how he was trying to impress you by trying to get his dog to sit... the guy didn't even put the harness on right.
hi I'm Kyle and I am training my first sirvice dog but she gets distracted by other dogs very easily any tips?
The biggest thing that helped Voodoo was proper use of an e-collar. I also allowed her to play and socialize with other dogs at certain times and she learned that while working she needed to ignore other dogs :)
What's the process of getting a service dog? I have really bad PTSD and it's something I've been considering lately. I'm in Canada but I'm assuming the process isn't that different from other countries...
I truthfully don't know exactly what it is for Canada but I do know it's different than the US!
The man seemed nice I'm glad you dint lash out at him. He should of known better, but sometimes it goes past people's head.
He was super nice!
Hi I have a question....my dog loves treats too..training her at a store that has a deli..fried chicken, fries, hot dogs ...has been disasterous!!! any tips?
I would do two things! Start by working her up to getting closer and closer while still giving you attention. Once she knows you want her to focus on you rather than the chicken/food, you can always use an e-collar that has a vibrate setting and correct her with that if she starts going for the food. That way it's really easy for her to know exactly what you want her to ignore and once you give the correction and she focuses on you, give her treats! (sometimes you can use high incentive treats in this case like hot dogs or cheese so it's worth it for her!)
What are some tips/tricks you have while training a service dog?
Voodoo is probably the coolest name for a dog ever
Thank you!! I really like it myself haha
Shouldn't you say "are you training?" Then walk off and say "sorry ill leave y'all to it"
Haha yes, most people would!
How do you train a dog to detect such things as seizures before they happen, low blood pressure, and other things basically invisible to humans? Do you smell different, or do they notice minute changes in behavior?
It's actually a natural alert, meaning that the dog has to show signs of recognizing it when they're young or older :) No one knows how dogs can detect heart rate or seizures (theories about maybe smell?) but that's how seizure alert dogs are developed :) Once they show signs of recognizing it you just have to shape an alert and reward them for alerting!
Little Husky Voodoo Wow, that's really neat. Thank you for answering my questions!
I am 14 years old and have alot of issues with my lungs and kidneys. My lungs right now are at a stage 4, they can only get to 5. Would i be right for a service dog?
Truthfully this isn't my place to say, it's up to a medical professional to decide if it would be the right treatment option.
I love being a certified dog trainer:) good work! I just graduated from Animal behavior college to become a certified dog trainer :)
That's awesome!
Is that a prong collar on your husky? And if so do you keep it on at all times?
It is and she only wears it when she is attached to a leash!
Little Husky Voodoo thanks you have a beautiful dog
I have seen the no eye contact sign!!!! * Looks away for entire video and hears the ending * aww :C
how did you achieve all of that with a husky!! amazing
Lots of consistent training from a young age! And adding in tons of exercise!
So what are service dogs for exactly? I know someone that had one for anxiety and seizures but I'm still not understanding what they do ?
It depends on what the handler needs. A dog trained to look out for seizures would warn the handler when it senses an impending seizure, which dogs are able to do.
Love the dog and he or she is good at the job
Aww your dog is adorable
Thank you!
I had my dog at petsmart and he was trying to get in another dogs face I did not let him. Now my dog is more trained and listens to me. PEOPLE NEED TO TRAIN THEIR DOGS BETTER.
I'm curious. When your service dog starts to shed do you groom her or do you take her to the groomers?
Voodoo sheds all year round and I do all her grooming myself! I do baths every 2 weeks and daily brushing to keep up on the hair :)
How and where do you start the process of getting a service dog for yourself? I have Conversion disorder which results in non epileptic seizures so I have to be very diligent and self monitor as much as I can it's been 5 years now and I'm exhausted. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Getting a disgnosis from a doctor is obviously the first step (which it sounds like you've done) and the it's deciding if getting a Service Dog and taking on the work of training them is worth it for your disability! I usually pinpoint which breed I want, find an ethical and reputable breeder who does health testing, temperament testing, and breeds for the betterment of that specific breed, and then find a local trainer who can help you with the basic training!
Kim and The Dogs thankyou so much. I really appreciate you getting back to me.
How old is ur dog mine is 3 years old in training for anxiety attacks
Voodoo is 2!
Hey my name is Tayler and I was wondering if huskies are good service dogs.I have bad anxiety and depression. Would they fit for a service dog
Hey Tayler! For the majority of handlers, huskies are definitely at the bottom of the list of breeds I would recommend for SD work. In my opinion IF you want to go with a husky and are up for the challenge of training, grooming, and being consistent with them, the only ones I would go for are show line huskies. They're bred for temperament and health and will have a way more laid back temperament for working (i.e. down stays, focusing, controlled heeling, etc.) than regular Sibes. They're very hard to train and require a ton of exercise to get them to the point where they can even be worked in public, but if you know what you're doing they're one of my favorite breeds!
where did you get her trained I've got one I'm training myself I'm just kind of curious very well-behaved I'm very impressed
She was actually owner trained! It took a lot of work and persistence but it was so worth it!
that's what I've been doing with mine do you have any pointers?
I've watched a few videos where handlers/trainers of service dogs keep small informational pamphlets about the purpose of service dogs, rather than stick around too long. I was *SO* tense while watching the loose handling of that rottweiler, and if carrying a pamphlet can get you out of a potentially dangerous situation faster, all the better!
I've thought about getting some for when we're out! It would seriously make my life so much easier!
AyaBlue22 rottweiler ain’t dangerous. the dog obviously wasn’t going to hurt her sd
voodoo is soooo cute!!! and I'm so happy I'm not the only one who would name a husky voodoo
She really fits the name!! And I really love it!
Kim and The Dogs yeah, also im thinking about getting a husky for a service dog, what do you think about getting stuff to be prepared and training things? Idk if that makes since or not, sorry if it doesn't.
I started getting the idea of maybe getting a service dog for my severe, depression and anxiety. But I'm not sure where to apply for one or get one. I live in Cananda NS, if someone could help me that'd be so helpful!!
I'm actually not sure what the laws are in Canada so you'll have to look up their laws to get started!
Beautiful husky. In temperament and looks. Good luck with her training.

My family was thinking about adopting a puppy to train for my dad because he is disabled and has some anxiety. Do you have any recommendations for good dog breeds for help pulling him in his wheelchair and retrieving items for him.
Golden Retrievers are a very popular choice because of their trainability, size, and general ability to be incredible Service Dogs. I know of a few people who also use breeds like Great Danes, Newfoundlands, and Mastiffs as Service Dogs for mobility work!
I understand why this happens... Because Voodoo is so cute!
Just curious, why so you have a full access patch on VooDoo? Planning to get a SD in the future so just curious
Honestly I just have it on there because it was the only patch that fit on the handle, but it has come in handly a few times with access issues!
So is each service dog trained for a specific things? Like guide dogs only for other areas?
Yes, there are many different types of service dogs. Many are trained to detect impending seizures or sudden drops/spikes in blood pressure in the handler, among other things.
I’m extremely impressed how well Voodoo does as a husky. Tasks and focuses beautiful. Abbey is my Mobility PTSD SD and a stubborn lab so I get the husky on twice told down lol. Where did you get a leash that detached from you and her. Thinking of custom making ours and embroider Mobility Service Dog on it. I hate people interfering with us. I guess I’m more bold in telling them it’s against the law to run up touching, calling at her, whistling etc. people have brought on panic attacks. Especially when they try to enter our space. Thought we trained 2 years in the agency we are in constant training for new ideas. Is that what you’re doing? I have picked up a couple ideas from you as a team in your videos. I subscribed. If I was good with filming and editing like many of you I would love to make a decent channel. I just learned FB Live Video and have fun with my oils. Abbey and I need to learn to share what a real Service Dog is like you have. Thanks for your inspiring videos I somehow seen in my UA-cam tonight. Hugs🐾🐾🐾🐾🌸🌸🌸🌸
People should definitely see that Voodoo is a service dog and needs to be trained, but at the same time I do feel like it’s just gonna happen when you train at a public pet store that allows any animal to come in
