- WUSA9 has learned of serious allegations of improper training in connection with a Las Vegas-based service dog business that shipped several animals to our area.
This is why I'm completely comfortable self training my service dog, this is so heartbreaking
same
I would sue that business. Making them pay to have the dog retrained.
I trained my own service dog, who also is a Champion show dog and has many obedience titles. He gives me stability and then taught himself to wake me up when I stop breathing so I can adjust my CPAP machine. He is a miracle. He cost me $1000 as a 8 month old puppy. He behaved perfectly on a flight cross country and in restaurants. I couldn't love him more.
I have a service dog, I cannot believe this happening at all. Its disgusting! Its dangerous, its portraying a service dog, yet its not a service dog at all. If one of these people have anxiety this is a total nightmare. People will assume its a fake service dog and confront these people with undeserved aggressive and disrespect. Disgraceful.
@@richarddaniels1056 YOUR A MORON. THERE ARE OTHER QUALIFYING DISABILITIES FOR A SD. I HAVE A SEIZURE ALERT DOG. WITHOUT MY DOG IT COULD KILL ME.
@@richarddaniels1056 So did you even watch the video, or did you just come here to antagonize handlers? How pathetic do you have to be?
@@darkwolf2622 what did he say? Ig he deleted his comments
@@justagirlandherdogs615 I don't even really remember honestly. I forgot I even replied on this.
@@darkwolf2622 ah ok lol. Well it looked like he deleted his comment because he was embarrassed
"Traumaticly traumatized" ...sounds legit to me
You obviously cant expect a live animal to be perfect, but this is ridiculous
poor screening of animals. Just because a dog can perform a task (like detecting diabetic attack), does not mean that dog has the other qualifying traits to become a service animal. Either the training is being rushed, being done wrong, or these dogs simply do not have the temperament to be service animals.
Many years ago I went through obedience training with a dog, and one thing that they emphasized is that 30% of the training is for the dog, but 70% of the training is for the handler. I got the impression from this ("delivering" a dog?) that the owners were just handed the dog, with no guidance.
My neighbors got a pup, and I'd hear them yelling at the dog, "Get away from that! Stop that! Get over here, now! Get in the house!", and of course the dog didn't obey, and they'd get angry at the poor beastie and smack him. Did they really think the dog understood English? They have produced very timid and defensive pitbull.
A dog has to know exactly what's expected of him. Otherwise you get pure instinct.
''they'd get angry at the poor beastie and smack him. Did they really think the dog understood English? They have produced very timid and defensive pitbull.''
So beating a dog does not make the dog aggressive?
@@hyokkim7726 -- No, It makes the dog fearful and defensive, which looks a lot to the uninitiated as aggression,
Part of the training for a service dog is to make sure they can handle any situation they can encounter. Sure, you can't account for every single thing. But a plane ride? Something as simple as a plane ride? If those dogs are being traumatized by that, they aren't service dogs. They're pets with a high price tag.
Could be more to it other than just a plane ride! Someone abused the animals? Just don't have enough facts on this story to know what the truth is. Dogs only have to be able to perform the tasks for disabled people to be classified as service dogs! To go inside public places they have to be behaved but that alone does not make them a service dog.
This is why owner training exists. And also why I trained my own service dog, and will train my future SDs.
That guy is a straight up scam artist! My son's DAD would alert to both high and low blood sugars by whining, pawing and if needed barking loudly. This dog also performed 3 specific tasks related to my son's blood sugars. First, he had to consistently alert. Second, if my son were unconscious and alone the dog was trained to push down on a pedal that would automatically place a call to 911. Another task the dog performed was to retrieve a blood glucose monitor and bring it to my son. This dog had to pass the Canine Good Citizen test for obedience. Then it had to have over 100 hours of public access to introduce the dog to many, many things they will encounter as a service dog like elevators, escalators, grocery store, restaurants, etc. these dog's must show NO fear, aggression or shyness. If they do and do not improve during the training the dog is disqualified as a potential service dog. I despise these self proclaimed "expert trainers" that pass off OBVIOUSLY untrained and unstable dogs to people that genuinely need a legitimate service dog...
Maybe you should just watch the last 30 seconds of the video... all of the references who returned the reporters calls were satisfied with their dogs and their ability to alert to high/low blood sugar.

If they were non profit.. the clients should not have paid for the dogs at all
Hilary Benoit I'm pretty sure they can charge, but that money goestowards training, vet Bill's, care ,etc. Therefore, they dont make a profit.
All of these non-profit Service Dog organizations have major expenses. So people receiving the dogs must pay for them, either themselves, through fundraisers or donations . I live in South Carolina. We have an organization that requires recipients to have fundraisers, it doesn’t matter if they raise enough money for the dog or not, just that they helped raise money and awareness for the organization. Here’s why the dogs are so expensive: initial costs of puppy to be trained (in the video all the dogs were Labradors so more than likely came from a breeder) food & training treats for entire time puppy/dog is in training, microchip & registration, all veterinarian bills including all vaccines and spay/neuter, cost of training facility including rent or mortgage, utilities for facility, facility insurance(fire, etc), liability insurance to cover dogs, volunteers, etc. employee pay, payroll taxes, workman’s comp insurance, employee health insurance, travel expenses ( many people think non-profits don’t have paid employees or don’t have to follow certain laws which is false). Accountant, attorneys for filing all state /federal tax returns. All non-profits must pay an independent auditor look at all their financial information and file an audit report, not their regular accountant, this is a state and federal requirement. If this isn’t done the IRS can freeze their bank accounts, and eventually confiscate all their funds, shut down the organization if they continue with non-compliance.
There are so many more expenses but those are just the main ones. Sorry to be long-winded but thought this would help to educate people.
Karen Ann McMillan ours( the Lions Foundation of Canada) relies on fundraisers.
The Lions Club in the US deals almost entirely with blindness and vision. That leaves out the other 99🎁☀️
Karen Ann McMillan the Lions Foundation of Canada that my dog came from is in Oakville Ontario. It trains six different types of Service dogs and is recognized as a company that trains Service dogs. The only other ones I know of in Canada are PADS in BC and one in Quebec .
Oh my goodness this is insane!! This place is sketchy as the come!! Oh, it's been a year and we don't know what's happened? How can you not know?! Prong collars and shock collars because they react to dogs and people?! This isn't a poorly raised dog from a shelter, it's a puppy they raised and screwed up. This place should be shut down 😡
I agree. I believe e collars should only be used in the working level (a level the dog can barely feel at all. It takes skill to find it because they show no signs of feeling it) to reinforce commands, especially the recall and heel command for an off leash heel and reliable off leash recall for service dogs. Prong collars for very light information. If they need corrections with these tools then they are not trained🤷🏼♀️
This is why you should look for an organization certified by Assistance Dogs International. ADI doesn’t even recognize DADA, and their requirements include the treatment and quality of training. If the organization your looking for is not recognized then you should think twice before applying for a dog.
@@AthenaShelly Not everyone has the knowledge or ability to train their own service dogs
For starters, not every dog can be a service dog. Your dog has to already be calm and focused on its own, you can usually tell when they're puppies. Second, it takes at least a year to properly train a proper service dog. Based on the looks of it they take any dog and try to train them. If you have a dog with a calm and focused personality the chances of them barking, or showing aggression towards anyone or anything after training is close to 0. These people are not only improperly training dogs, but they're not even picking the right ones!
For starters your opinions are not backed by the ADA as far as your opinions on training and behavior determining a service dog. To be classified as a service dog a dog has to be able to perform tasks for the disabled person. There is no guidelines set by the ADA on how long that training has to be. I am sure that would vary with whoever trains the dogs, their experience and the dog's abilities learning the tasks. A dog does not have to be trained to not bark to be a service dog BUT a dog does have to behave to be allowed in public places but just because a dog barks that does not mean they are not a service dog. Some service dogs bark to alert people that are hard of hearing! You can either have a behaved service dog or a service dog that is not behaved but as long as they do the tasks for the disabled they are a service dog. As for the dogs in the video there is no way to know for sure where the fault lies with the seller or with the owners that did something to the dogs or even at the airport or on the planes. Not enough facts to know for sure.
Exactly! If this was a legitimate organization that trained REAL service dogs, some of these dog's would have been rejected before any additional training started. That dog was obviously fearful and unstable. So much so, that dog would have been unable to pass the Canine Good Citizen test. That is the initial and easiest way to evaluate a dog's temperament and basic obedience. Which was clearly something this potential DAD could and would not pass!
These poor dogs! They are terrified, undertrained and expected to do more than they can do. The poor dogs are put in these situations, unprepared, and then the owners get angry and jerk the dog around. The fact that they recommended using prong collars “harder” and e-collars on a service dog, that should already be trained, is very telling. Of course the owners are upset and the dogs seem untrained at best and traumatised at worst. My pet dog behaves better than these “service dogs”. There are many great service dogs around, unfortunately these aren’t...
well they said shock collars not e-collars. e-collars are safe because they send vibration to the dog not shocking them. And lots of service dog handlers use them
This is one reason why you don’t freak out and yell “FAKE SERVICE DOG!” but try to be rational and find out if the person is actually disabled. Some people get conned.
This is also demonstrative of “trainer worship” which needs to stop.
Exactly! The Service Dog community can be extremely judgemental without knowing any context about a situation. It's just not right!
I'm a newly diabetic due to having my pancreas removed. I'm so thankful I just happened to find this video before I invested in thousands of dollars. Thank you.
Train your own animal
I have never seen any service dog act like this.
I am sending out my thoughts and prayers and love to all of the families affected by all of this😢💔
I would have sued them and got my money back but keeping the dog to give it a better life and train it myself
It’s clear the dogs were abused by that company. It’s so fucked up they got scammed like that.
That's insane. No REAL service dog trainer worth the name would EVER allow a dog to leave their possession with those behaviors. I believe not one of the dogs shown was properly evaluated as a puppy, nor were they trained properly, at all.
My SDiT has his minor issues....this makes him look like a god among dogs! (No, nothing that distracts or disrupts his training, just small things like preferring to lay down when I told him to hold a sit lol!) This is awful and I feel so bad for these families, but I would not talk my dog out ever again after this is he was behaving like that in stores and stuff! Either wash or take them to a trainer with experience and confidence, but public aggression is a HUGE no.
Some of the dogs have been well trained, but SO WHAT? How many egregious failures is an appropriate amount? And how many of those failures has been rectified promptly by the seller? That company is not only stealing money via misrepresentation, they are endangering lives, and undermining the entire service animal program!
What’s funny is I have received a dog from this exact company and I have had none of the problems that these “customers” have with their dogs. You know why? Because it’s the owners responsibility to maintain and keep up with their dogs training. It’s not just going to stick and stay with them forever, you have to keep reinforcing it. That’s where the problem is. It’s sad that people expect everything to be pitch perfect just because they paid $15,000 for the service dog. As an owner of a service dog from Diabetic Alert Dogs of America, I can say that I am extremely grateful to have another tool to help with my illness and also have a new best friend all together.
I thought the point of the video was that these people immediately noticed things were amiss with their service dogs, particularly when it came to public access. Of course the owners have the responsibility to maintain, but there was so little to maintain as evidenced by some of the videos provided. It was almost as if the dogs were trained for one single task (detecting low blood sugar, etc.) and that was it; they were pretty much just dogs straight from the shelter after that. It could be the local branches of Diabetic Alert Dogs have different standards of quality, and that's how certain dogs can pass under the radar.
I agree that you can’t expect a perfect dog but I do believe that the program is to blame for some of these dogs. Just because your dog is good doesn’t mean every one of the dogs are going to be the same. These dogs don’t all work with the same puppy raisers/ trainers and every program is going to have dogs that just aren’t fit to work. The problem with this program and many others is that they will know that some of these animals are not fit to be placed and place them anyway because they don’t want to lose the money they put into it.
TheBeastyX I call bullshit.
The real question is, were you trained on how to properly maintain your dogs training? This could be the main problem idk but the dogs look scared beyond belief.
Aggression doesnt pop up due to "not maintaining" for a well socialized dog. 🙄😒
It broke my heart when the woman said, you paid $15,000 for THIS? ouch THIS is a pet!!! She sounded cruel!!!
only 27 references out of 100 a year and only 12 said they WERE satisfied. Did they check to make sure that all those answering "references" didn't just happen to be relatives?
Just to clarify they only tried to contact 27, not 100!! And out of the 27 there was 12 they got in contact with.
This CEO was lying through his teeth 2 protect his profits through his supposed non-profit! The only 1 would should be in jail is the CEO!
I know that it's not going to change but, I'm just so tired, so sick and tired of GOOD people in need get scrutinized because of the disgusting cons out there.. Same as people like me that, unfortunately, have to take opioid medication to actually have a quality of life and work and run our business.. I've had people tell me I'm an addict and only want it for a high and that I'm taking their tax dollars for Medicaid to pay for my addiction.. I'm on private insurance, my husband makes a very decent amount of money, we live in a very nice community.. The moment someone knows I take methadone for my severe and chronic back spasm, I'm looked at as worthless, I sale my pills and don't need them.. Even the corporate pharmacies do this.. Walgreens is the WORSE!! I use a small family owned so that I don't have to go through what Walgreens does every single solitary month..
These poor people and those like them, it's just so sad.. Scam artists..
That is so wrong! But with a helpful question suggestion, have you tried to get a chiropractic adjustment? It might fix your back.
You have to keep training the dog these people probably untrained the dog by not treating it as a service dog. Now there mad. I like how it took everyone a long time to figure out that it’s not what they wanted. You have to maintain the training it doesn’t just get trained once in his lifetime and then it’s a perfect service dog . Everybody just wants to sue everybody nowadays and nitpick everything that’s why there’s no mom-and-pop businesses anymore And puppy mills everywhere !
This is disgusting...
But some of these people aren’t taking it as seriously as they should... still taking the dog into public is not okay.
Work with a professional trainer and a professional dog behaviouralist...
Dogs should never be like that
Service dog or not
The owner considering himself the best dog trainer in the country in my opinion is worrisome. Red Alert right there. I have a service dog and she's owner trained with professional trainers and a behaviorist to ensure well being. Owner trained or program trained is very expensive because there's A LOT that goes into the training for task, obedience, and socialization (three different things) as well as the care for the dog. Just going off my own experience, I think these featured dogs just want to be non-working pet dogs and the trainers/SD program should have recognized and honored the dog to prevent being "traumatized" before they ever were approved for work. I feel horrible for the dogs and families here who clearly were taken advantage of. *SICK* Glad to hear some dogs from this SD program are now positive teams... but this is just horrid. I hope the families are in better places today and were refunded.
I’m no expert but it seems pretty bad that they recommended a shock collar. These dogs although recognised as service dogs because they can perform a function for their owners are unable to fully do it because of they are problematic to take out in public. So I think a ‘good’ company would train them to be calm in public so they can properly do their job when needed. Also they should not just be handed over after a payment (not sure if that’s what happened). My mum had a service dog (Australia) who was in training who displayed better behaviour in public then these dogs. I know that most of this was reported a while after they got the dogs, but still the dogs should not be acting that way, and I doubt it was all the owners fault, because really I don’t trust a company that says you should use a shock collar on a service dog.
Sorry about the rant, it just made me angry.
these dogs have been "fully Trained" and they act like they where abused and had no training at all my service dog in training is acting better than this most un trained dogs act better than this I having my first public access outing today I'm a little scarred since she barks sometimes but we have been working really hard for 5 weeks and hopefully it goes well
I have had my service dog ambushed & bitten by a fake service dog that also knocked me down. The owner was aggressive & verbally abusive using homophobic slurs. Fortunately security cameras caught the incident & nearby people assisted me off the ground. Traumatic for both of us. This assault could have made my dog extremely reactive. Bad training of people & dogs must be punished. My dog has saved my life in public spaces 3 seperate times. A service dog is more than a furry companion ! They are the partners of someone with a disability, they are life enabling. Both owner & dog have to be trained together for a period of time appropriate to the tasks required. I have trained dogs since 70's, never use prong collars, fear etc that is abuse & counter productive to producing a happy, well trained animal. That "CEO" is nothing more than a puppy mill fraudster.
He is lying!! Poor people just wasting money and risking their lifee!!
He called the dogs products. The least they could do is pay for a local trainer to get these dogs trained properly.
Dogs have to be specifically trained to fly in a airplane cabin.
Mmmm, no...
No, they need to be trained to public access. This includes things like not being spooked by loud noises or different experiences say a shaken plastic bag or a popping balloon.
the fact like i have a dog that's messed up from them.
Talk about kayos by design. Until there is a proper certifying protocol for trainers who can train the animal AND the human and certify them AND
a unique identifying patch and gear designated with heavy penalties for abuse and counterfeiting this will not stop.
When a selfish dog owner's pet masquerades as a service dog and attacks a $50,000 seeing eye dog what do you call that ?
Who didn't see this coming but still had authority over it ?
I’m a dog trainer but I don’t train service dogs but I know a dog going into an airport even my best trying dog who is my 24 hour companion would have trouble in an airport with all the noise if I was a service dog trainer for people thatHad to fly on airplanes I believe I would have to take the dogs I was training to the airport to see if I couldn’t talk to somebody to let me take the dogs on the plane put them in the floor in front of me under the seat and the beast certain that those dogs will only pay attention to me or the owner that I turn the dog over to and it takes two days for me to totally turn the dog over to the new owner or to the original owner so they know the exact commands that that dog has been taught
This is sad. 😔
4:15 .... yanking the dog? What is that going to help?
Not yanking. Leash pop
I doubt that dog is trained at all. Its disgusting what people will do for a buck or two.
Vanessa Centers more like 15,000 bucks
I believe that the organization seizure dogs for life had a similar problems and they are now to my knowledge shut down and the owners arrested
for one thing the dogs are registered so that is the first red flag
I trained two of my own service dogs both beautifully trained don't pay those prices it is a scam, I used my own dog training skills I had so many comments about how wonderfully trained they were, I still have mine but he is older and retired but deserves only the best in his retirement. What a scam and a shame on them.
That's not true. If a service dog is trained correctly and that means socalized at a young age, desensitised to a busy environment, and trained to handle emergencies in distracting situations. Then going on an airplane should just be another learning experience for them. Not something that will traumatiz them for life. That behavior, the reactiveness in sores and around other dogs, peeing inside stores, and such, is purely a lack of training.
"Traumatically Traumatized"
thats messed up i have a service dog and they shouldnt even act like that even after they get trained!!
A service dog company that doesn’t do follow ups?? Red flag red flag red flag
Thats just disrespectful for the real service dogs and real trained and traines
Absolutely no longer needed or justified in the age of highly accurate Continuous Glucose Monitors, being covered by insurance. And, absolutely non intrusive to those around you.
If you have a "service dog" that can't behave, then they can't be in public places while acting unruly!
Shame on this company!!
Lesson learned, self train
I trained my own dog all it takes is treats or toys and alot of love
Not only are those dogs not trained but they to have clearly been abused or mistreated in order to be this fearful. These aren’t dogs that just haven’t been trained to the expected and needed standards but dogs don’t reacted like this and be this fearful and dog after coming out like this really shows that something worse then just not training the dogs is going on behind those doors at this facility. I’m a professional dog trainer but I also have a genetic heart condition that requires me to have a service dog which is trained to pick up on changes that happen with my heart that can be very dangerous. So I know first hand how big of a difference medical alert dogs Make to people fighting illnesses like this. Dogs don’t act like this from just not being trained (maybe the odd dog here and there will but to have dog after dog come out acting like his is not caused my just lack of training) they act like this when something or someone has traumatised them and hurt them very seriously to the point they act like this to protect themselves (rightfully so) from what has hurt them in the past. I know this was 5 years ago but I truly hope this place got shut down and charges laid on all involved in traumatising these poor pups and for ripping off and putt these vulnerable people (not to mention the extremely cruel thing to make somebody who has an illness that effects there life massively and causes so much anxiety around the dangers that come with having hypers and hypos or seizures and etc) to get their hooes up that they will finally have this dog who can keep the SAFE and possibly ever SAVE THEIR LIFE, tO find out in the end they are still in just as ,cub danger as before the dog and that their excitement and hope around the fact they can finally have some independence back and not rely on other people and machines to feel safe and fo hsveyhe safety net of an alert dogs takes away so much anxiety around if they will go to sleep and not wake up because they had a low in there sleep and never woke up for it. To have that sense of fear taken away because you know the dog will wake you up if you need to treat a low and etc is the most mhgaiv feeling , so to have your hopes up and your excitement at an all time high about having a new found independence and piece of mind and then to go from the best feeling in the world (the feeling of safety and finally being safe to go to sleep or go out without another person) to the opposite, having your hopes crushed and all the dreams and excitement you had about the fact you can do so many more things in life safely suddenly gone. This has to be one of the cruelest scams I’ve ever seen for both the human and dog. These people ar3 criminal, messing with peoples lives like this and taking something like their illness or disability to make you money while messing with their emotions and life, is horrific and it doesn’t get much more evil then this. I’m so sorry to all these people who got taken advantage of and used like this, you deserve better, I’m so so sorry,
those dogs are TRAUMATIZED by the trainers. personally i feel if a SERVICE dog trainer encourages you to pull 'harder' on a prong collar or even buy a Shock collar to control the dog that THEY ruined and traumatized is a HUGE red flag its a red Banner. i was able to train my first SD all alone by the age 13 and i NEVER had to use physical punishment or force to train her. and i am currently training a 3 1/2 old puppy for SD work and my PUPPY is trained better than those dogs from that organization (that where shown in the videos) and i am only 15!!! I really do believe that they chose to use the "Fastest" way to train dogs which is most likely using physical force as a punishment so they can pump out as many dogs they can. and the form of "Training" that involves physical punishment only ruins dogs and creates: stress, trauma, aggression and reactivity. you can tell that a lot of the dogs there are reacting out of fear and stress and you don't have to be an expert to see that. and some dogs may not be qualified to be a service animal due to certain behaviors or energy levels that they just have from a young age AND IT IS OKAY to cut out a dog who wont do well for that job that dog can still live happily in a loving home but maybe just not as a service dog.
This is absolutely ridiculous, my dog is not a service dog, but I have seen her act better than some legit service dogs, let alone these dogs. In my opinion someone, if not the owner of the company himself, abused those dogs, and I seriously doubt that he would fire any of his trainers if he found out that they were using abusive tactics to train these dogs
No no no! I have service dog and a trained service dog does not have these types of temperaments. You can just look and see immediately by the behavior these dogs are NOT FULLY TRAINED!
Just plain not socialized either
this is AWEFUL! PEOPLE! You are better off TRAINING YOUR DOG! Start with a CGC and go from there. Owner trained dogs are better because the dog is raised by, and trained specifically for you. work with a dog trainer and diy.
PS I can guarantee you that I am a better dog trainer than that guy
You can get a random dog from a shelter and you'll have a better dog than this. And a prong collar for 18 months? That's insane. You shouldn't be using that stuff in any case, but for 18 months?
Plenty of well trained service dog use prongs throughout their careers sooo
the fear level shows the dog has been abused.
I do not use prong collars or choke chainson a dog. In my experience they produced agressive dogs and can be easily abused.
This dude is telling lies
It's possible the owner doesn't know dog behavior and dog psychology thus how they make the dog stressful and misbehaving
This is both terrifying and heartbreaking
Adopt a rescue dog and train them yourself!
Ok
I wonder if this isn’t a bit skewed against the trainer. Some of what the vid shows, I’d call abuse of the dog by the owner. If the owner waited a year to complain, I would want to know what the owner did to it during that year.
Dog is not a family. A service dog is a tool foremost..
Is this guy for real? I dont believe what is being said. This guy is responsible and not absolved of the problems that he has caused. Im training my dog myself and shes better behaved with 6 months of working with her so far than any of these dogs in the video.
The service has spent the money somewhere else and not for service these poor dogs were to help provide.
I'm only 14 and I have a 5 month old Australian Shepherd and she's becoming a service dog from us training her because we bought one online and it wasn't a service dog and attacked another person
I can’t believe these people
This is a hard one. We don't know the full truth. TBF to the trainer whose to say the dogs aren't treated well in that year or more they've had the dogs. Though I doubt it's the people's fault for the most part. Bad training wanting that 15k asap. It should take years to train a proper service dog.
Their not the only company because there one in LeHigh Valley
This is why I hate these programs because they make lots of money and even when they say they can provide you with certification proving that it's a service dog. This is why Certifications are Not Real even with a so-called professional trainer-operated SD program and why it is so bad when people who think that when they get a service dog from a program can just flash their paperwork to business owners and this hurts others who owner train. What says that the trainer should prove they are really qualified to be working for a program service under the ADA?
The $$$ has gotten to their heads.
my dog trained herself. i just did the rest. most alert dogs that meet criteria dont take much training. i looked into companies that wanted 5000 and they told me what they do she already did that.
I got mine for $50 and trained her myself.
These look like rescue dogs complete with all the baggage of a broken dog.
Horrible
Wait...WHAT?!!
"How can they do this?" Simply there's huge money if they call it "Service Dog that gets on planes for FREE! and take "spot" anywhere and if anyone questions you, you can kick them and spit at them and then SUE em! dogs"
I see you have some underlying anger towards Service Dogs...
This is why I'll self train with help of a professional trainer that can guide us this way I know what my dogs trained not trained what they need to work on n have all training records....... if you get a program dog please ask for that dogs training records
"Service dogs" my ass.
These dogs are acting out in fear. These dogs were not properly trained & socialized. A truly trained dogs would not act this way even a year later. The owner should go to the dog not the dog to the owner. The owner should learn to work with the dog before taking animal home. Are the trainers of these dogs teaching new owners how to give commands, how & when to give corrections, how to keep up the training, & etc.?
I SMELL A LOT OF LAW SUITS
This is why I find sd extremely fishy business. It's an animal, not a glucose meter or a safety blanket.
I guess keep on training and bought it up on
the trainer some place that will let anybody to bring in the service dog some understand and some didn’t I went to the costco with my mom and that had the sign that service dog is allowed but training first some places are different but that was messed up only pet can’t come inside only service dog is allowed to go inside the store service dog is so expensive for finding trainer to see if that works 😳😵
Y’all should have went to Doggie Do Good, an y’all must not be doing ANY research on Prongs, Choke Chains, E Collars, these aren’t SHOCK collors they are muscle sensation collars when used CORRECTLY!!! WHEN USED INCORRECTLY THEY CAN BECOME A SHOCK COLLAR!!! Please do more research on tools an where you get your service dogs
Has this guy got a lower jawbone problem? Looks like a bad case of broken jaw deformation.
That's why you dont trust cheap 15,000 dogs. Labs are generally carefree, friendly dogs too! I have a chocolate female
You dont use prong collars for service dogs
You can, there is no such standard to not allow it. Prongs are viable training tools.
I mean, you could also just keep track of your diabetes. I'm pretty sure there are plenty of people who lead normal lives without the aid of a service dog.
Lets be honest they didn't want a service dog.
There is no way of knowing how the dogs arrived to the owners or how the owners treated them after they got them but are you a licensed medical doctor? Since you seem to be implying that no one with Diabetes needs a service dog? Unless you are a medical doctor I don't think you have the right to make that decision for others that could only be reached on a case by case basis even if you are a medical doctor.
That can be true for type 2, and that is 90% of the time if not more, type 1 is far more serious and life-threatening. Type 2 like most people I got from being overweight and too many sweets and in my case, being a pop-aholic. I have been delivered of that, thank You, Jesus! Let me tell you it is just as addictive as alcohol, which I hate. Type one I found out you can be born with or you can get it from having a baby, I could be wrong about that one about having a baby.
Still, both can be self-monitored, especially type 2. As far as type 1, in some to most cases, you can, but not always. Now I don't like dogs, but, hey, I think the price of a CGM, and or insulin pump if you need it, is probably cheaper, than what most would wind up forking over for a dog to detect blood sugar changes. But hey, that's up to the person, and their needs. If you are prone to getting many lows and or passing out seizures or whatnot, yes, a service dog would be ideal, but there are alternatives, way cheaper I'm sure.
Not true. Many type 1s are life threatening and happen at the oddest times and your body can react and pass out before the blood sugar machine can sense it. Also its unrealistic to check your blood every half hour
Your such a lier. This would not happened with a dog that is a fully trained service dog. It sounds like there adusing there dogs and not giving the money back!
it does look like these new owners are sorta abusing/neglecting the dogs.. and dont know how to care for a basic living being
I haven't seen any abuse at all in this video
Dakota&Blessing ServiceTeam I’m glad I’m not your dog... if you think there’s nothing wrong with this
tajrocksable um what was abusive? I only saw a minor leash pop on a dog
tajrocksable and I obviously didn’t effect the dog I was a slip chain not even a prong collar🙄
Whoa wait a minute that woman has had that dog for a year oh my God she wouldn’t of taken that dog if it was doing that when this man delivered the dog that dog was probably perfectly trained but like he said something is happened to that dog since he delivered it over a year ago I own a red wolf and I had a kidney removed when I came home all he wanted to do was sniff my belly and he was so calm and quiet around me becauseHe knew that something wasn’t right with daddy
This is awful. These dogs shouldn't be brought into places. It doesn't help that the owners don't know how to handle a dog. This place that sells pets clearly knows know thing about service dogs. Service dogs should be able to work on a flat collar and leash perfectly.
I am notorious for wanting proof before judging people if they have committed a wrong. The seller we can't know for sure those dogs were in that condition one or two years ago before the owners got them! I am not saying those dogs were not in that condition I am just saying I didn't see any proof of it. The owners that got the dogs do we know them? Know how they treat animals? Know how their children treat them? How were the animals treated at the airport? So many questions that can't be answered so I can't come down one on side or the other on this one. Sad for the dogs because something had to make them that way? Who knows what it was.

This just ticks me right off! And I'm sorry if this offends anyone, but I don't like dogs, for the most part, but what really hate is this, crap like this! Dogs that put people's lives in danger and no one gives two shits about it or seems to not care!
I too am a diabetic, type 2, not as serious as type 1, but I have had my dangerous lows too. Just doing exercises at the gym can bring me dangerously low when walking back home. Or even having a lot of water tea (with no sugar) can do it too. Heads up, never eat just a spinach salad only, before bed, yikes! The natural magnesium in the spinach helps you absorb insulin and shot me down super low!
Still, after seeing this really ignites my anger, I must say! For one, they can sue that company for putting their lives in grave danger. Hell, I would even say far worse charges. The other is the worse fact of the matter, is this fact. You can get a Continual Glucose Meter for cheaper than what you paid for your dog, without the psychotic problems, I'm sure! Heck, you will save money in the long run too! Correct me if I'm wrong on this. Sue the damn place and take the money and spend it on an insulin pump and or CGM, or a machine that does both.
If you do need someone or something to wake you up, if you go too low there might be machines to do that. I looked into it the insulin pump will shut off for 2 hours, and I'm sure alarms can sound as well, it sounds like to take actions. You might find it can call an ambulance when a low is reach for too long. Still, something to think about it, options people! Even if I did like dogs and that happened to me, I would sure sue and use that money on a machine rather than relying on a dog.
What are the signs of diabetes? How do they test for it?
