    Thank you for watching my videos! This channel is dedicated to animal education and improving the lives of captive animals.
    Here’s little about me!
    My name is Meghan Arriola and I live in Texas with my husband Jaime, where I dedicate my time to taking care of exotic and domesticated animals on my farm. We run a rescue and sanctuary for animals like alpacas, birds and reptiles. I do animal education presentations for groups and schools. Our alpacas also do events where we are able to teach people about these unique animals. I have used service dogs for medical needs for over 10 years and I am an advocate for assistance animals and mental health awareness.
    I am an animal educator that brings science related ideas to an audience from around the world by presenting fun and interesting topics in a family friendly way. Animals touch our lives in unique ways everyday as simply being our pets and companions, but how can we make their lives equally as special now that they live in captivity? My UA-cam channel and blog explore ways to meet this goal by tackling things like animal behavior, human-animal relationships and veterinary medicine. Animal science is a great way to teach people of all ages that education is fun and nerdy is cool.
    My previous animal related work experience includes working in veterinary clinics, private zoos, training horses and volunteer work in wildlife rehabilitation, rescue/foster/adoption programs and therapeutic horsemanship for children with disabilities.
    When I am not working with animals, I am working at the health care clinic owned by my husband Jaime and I, where we provide services to low income, minority neighborhoods. We have been on the frontlines fighting covid19. I also have a passion for art and I am an award winning painter and photographer and published author. I am naturally very introverted but I am extroverted about sharing my passions and doing my part to make the world a better place!

      Yeah the UK and most other countries have very strict laws on service dogs while it's the opposite in the US and almost too relaxed. But at least in the US you can have a dog for any type of disability.

    I have Lupus. I have trained my service dog for chronic pain management. He detects my flares and mitigates them. He made it possible for me to go out to public places again early in the disease treatment. Now I am better controlled with the disease and more confident. That being said I get challenged in the public about my dog being a service dog. My dog is my health partner. I need him.

      I have a pomapoo, he started as an ESA and is now in training to be a support dog. He does blocking, and alerts me when I am about to have a panic attack as well as pressure and helps to distract when I start to have an episode. I believe ESA are equally supportive as a support dog. No matter the size, support/service animals save lives.

    Hi, I have a Pembroke I've just started training (very baby steps so far) to be a seizure response and psych service. I have ADHD and autism spectrum. I've had some instruction on teaching scent, and was told to take swabs on my gums and freeze them in a ziplock bags. I know how to train scents from nosework. But dogs are intuitive about odor in their people. My last seizure episodes were scary and she did know something was up.

      A doctor can prescribe a service dog, the best thing is to have your disability on your medical records. Training can be very expensive, but a lot of it can be done by you. I have a video about how to make your dog a service dog, in my service dog playlist.

    Is it normal for a service dog to bark at its reflection in public? I’m asking this because I once saw a girl at Target with a “service dog” and on the cashiers, there’s reflective metal, the dog saw its reflection and started barking. Was this a service dog? And btw the dog didn’t have a vest

The specific tasks that I need to train a dog for I think are pretty easy to train: searching the house/ rooms for an intruder, alerting me to strangers behind me, directing me away from them, and just emotional support in general. I noticed I don’t feel as hyper vigilant or stressed out and anxious when a dog is around me that barks when there is a stranger. I have my ESA letter so that’s enough to at least have a dog but going from there I have always been good with training dogs and I think I could do it. Thanks for the info
