I tend to give intrusive rude people the same stern…NO….that I give children and dogs. I have found that it works for all shapes and sizes.😂😂😂😂

im preparing to fly my SD for the first time next month! great in-depth video thank you (: I am curious how you were able to get footage through TSA? Were they okay with your camera person standing with their phone recording? I would like to document our process too (:

Can pot make your heart rate go up when standing and sitting? Also can it make your blood pressure higher? I just got diagnosed with pot this week and and only just turned 14. Any tips about pots would be very helpful for me. Thanks.❤

Would it be ok if I use this one like some clips from it

Hey do u think I could use some of ur vids of ur sd working to then make an educational vid about the difference between a real sd and a fake but also to know how to tell and all that and how people can help if there is a fake

do you have to tell a privet college when you bring your service dog?

Are you in Canada? In the USA; the Dr. note re-newel every year is for ESA dogs. Not S.D.

Since I can not take my service dog for school, my school decided to get a doctor/therapist for anxiety. I am glad this school accepted the fact that I’m not okay at all times.

I just received my service dog yesterday (18 oct) words can not express how positively my life changed. Thank you for sharing your insights.

Do u have any tips for people with service dogs going to the zoo?

Thank you so much for sharing this! My family flies a lot, and I haven’t had the chance to review the process in person yet so this is really helpful.

YESSSS LAWDDD my life all sumed up in this video now just trying to find where to get a service dog 🐕‍🦺

4:59 a few years late, but the ads I'm seeing spammed, along with vid recommendations about ACTUAL service dogs being refused places, is ads for "emotional support animals". Perhaps 3 years ago, these sites were actually calling them service certificates instead of the ESA certificates they actually are. These ads, and people with "ESA" dogs, also don't point out that "emotional support animal" is almost meaningless (a few legal exceptions in states that allow waiving pet fees for ESA dogs, that sort of minor thing). These websites and people who try to pass their ESA pet off as a service dog, protected by the ADA are doing a horrible disservice to people who have an actual service dog AND responsible pet owners who aren't just a Karen with an ESA trying to take an untrained (and, I mean basic, sit stay type training let alone service training) and undisciplined animal places they aren't allowed.

How do you train dogs to alert for cardiac spikes?

I see this is an old video but it popped up in my feed just today. I use Yup harnesses also and like them a lot! Regarding the comments about the martingale, I have a suggestion for you (and anyone else with light-colored dogs or those with sensitive skin) - my previous service dog was a copper and white husky, with her neck fur being copper on top third and the rest white. Steel/stainless steel chains would stain her fur especially if she got wet, and she seemed to get irritation from them also. I started using Curogan chains (sold by Herm Sprenger) on her and the issues went away. The way to use them is to buy the chain/ring part (either as a full collar or as a part of their prong collars), and replace the chain (and also the steel D-rings if you are able) from the martingale with the Curogan chain. There may be some other alternatives out there that suit as well, such as plastic/nylon coated stainless steel chains. My current SDIT is a black poodle so no fears of staining, but I still keep Curogan chain in case it’s needed. It’s also a copper color which may go well with your papaya harness if you still have that gear. 🐶

The yup harness is called a straight front BTW ❤❤❤

People avoid the Doberman I am training. The stigma can be helpful, i guess. 😅

Did it cost any extra money bu southwest?

I have a Great Pyrenees half pitbull she’s going to be my service dog for my autism

Hi there! I came across your channel and love the content you're sharing with fellow pet parents! 🐾 I wanted to reach out because I’m with Petsmont, a company focused on improving dogs’ lives through natural remedies. We have a 100% USDA Certified Organic supplement called Buddy Guard, made from pure fruiting bodies of medicinal mushrooms. It’s designed to help with lumps and bumps in aging dogs, while boosting energy and overall vitality. We’d love to send you a complimentary jar in exchange for a video review! Let me know if you're interested. 😊

1 I once had a drive thru worker look at my previous SD (a small breed trained for medical alert. She was just chilling in the seat in her vest not bothering a soul) she looked at me and in a super snarky tone went "let me guess.. she's for anxiety 🙄" Literally medical alert... Best part, I was VISIBLY WEARING A HEART MONITOR at the time. 2 my current SD wears a patch that says "I dont bite, but my handler does." And if they dont read it I tell them "he doesn't bite but I do."

You can also go to animal shelters and animal rescue centers for help finding the right puppy as an SD.

Hi! I love that you're sharing your experience to help others, although I just wanted to respectfully correct some misinformation about POTS. A change in blood pressure is not required for a POTS diagnosis, and not everyone with POTS has low blood pressure, plus some have issues with high blood pressure depending on the type of POTS. The diagnostic criteria is just a heart rate increase of 30bpm or more (40bpm in adolescents) without a substantial drop in blood pressure (that would be more like orthostatic hypotension). I just wanted to respectfully correct that (not trying to be rude in any way) since alot of people have the misconception that you need a blood pressure drop to get diagnosed with POTS which actually cause me to not get diagnosed for an additional 2 years since my first doctor said I didn't have it due to the fact my blood pressure didn't drop despite the heart rate increase more than 30bpm and I wanted to clear that up in case anyone else might think they have POTS but might not have low blood pressure. Thank you for sharing your experience and spreading awareness!!

Hi! I have a service dog and it will be my first time flying with her she is about the same size as Dallas and she is a poodle. I get really overwhelmed with unpredictable situations so this is going to be really interesting for me. I have a few questions though. 1 do you think I would be able to fit my dog in a regular seat so not Bulk head. She is trained to fin into small spaces but there is only so much you can do to get a large service dog out of the way and idk if she will fit or not. 2 for the pre board do I just go with a regular ticket or do I need to purchase a different one. 3 if anyone has any tips or anything it would be greatly appreciated

What happens when your service dog becomes old & can no longer do what it was trained for? Example: a GSD trained for mobility assistance around 8-9 yrs old? Can they still have access to non pet friendly places? It's still trained to behave

Awww good girl

I love the self check out lanes. I started placing my dog between me and the register. After a kid ran up and grabbed him. My dog also learned to back away from people and shake his head no. When they get to close. Nothing like being told NO by a dog.

My sister has POTS too

Not a service dog handler, but I have an idea for your self checkout situation, which may or may not work depending on whether or not you can physically pull it off. How about sitting your dog between your legs, facing the cash register with you?

This is the first of your videos the YT-algorithm recommended to me and I am already in love with Dallas. :) Great list and important questions to answer - apart from the service dog specific ones - before getting any dog.

i have a service dog in training, everything was pushed behind because he got lepto, im saving money to pay for his last phase, 6k! its still so expensive even tho most of his training is done, this training it helping with the few things he struggles with, THEN MY JOB CUT MY HOURS. i feel so stuck

welcome back i missed you !!!

When people ask me why I need my assistance dog (Australia’s term for service dog) I reply “for my disability” 😂

Welcome back! I am going to college in January with my service dog in training. He is my 3rd, I've been training dogs since I was 6. I have a standard poodle and he is also doing puppy classes at petsmart. He is absolutely amazing and he is doing great. He has a great temperament. He was born in April 2024 so he will be 9 months old when we go to college. It is early for most dogs but due to his temperament, it will be okay. He isn't distracted by people, food, or other dogs. He has a solid focus in public and he has a perfect recall. If he makes a mistake, I can easily correct him. He is very laid back and he has a solid down stay. For most dogs 9 months would be very early, but he is different. He is only 4 months old and he is absolutely amazing. We have two trainers and they both agree that he should be trained well enough by January. He can already sit, stay, heel on and off leash, recall from a long distance, touch my hand, alert to my PTSD or anxiety, fetch my medicine, make eye contact, and much more. I didn't start his training until he was about 3 months old. I focused on desensitizing and socialization when I first got him. We live in the city so I took him outside to watch fireworks with me and he wasn't scared at all due to his early desensitization. I've played loud noises on my TV daily such as construction, thunder, fireworks, yelling, babies crying, dogs barking, and many other noises dogs would usually be afraid of. My dad and I took him on a walk for the first time last week and he did perfect. We walked through the river canal in downtown Oklahoma city, there were many bars with loud music and people, ducks, turtles, dogs, birds, kids, scooters, loud cars and motorcycles, and the boats that go down the canal. At first he was a bit afraid, every time he was a bit frightened I crouched down next to him and I gave him treats while he watched his surroundings so he knew everything was okay. After about 5 minutes, he wasn't scared at all. We went through the park near the myriad gardens and I noticed a splash pad. We walked over so I could train him in the water. It was very loud so I was expecting him to get scared of the noise or the water jets. He wasn't scared at all! I stood near the splash pad and I allowed him to decide if he wanted to go over or not. He continued to walk towards the water even when I stopped, so we went into the water together. It wasn't deep at all, it's just little sprinkler jets on a stone ground. As soon as he made it to the middle, he flopped down into the water. He loves laying in water. I let him chill out for a few minutes then I trained him a bit and he did great! I got him to put his paws on top of some benches and rocks to help build his confidence and he did great. There were some bike racks that looked like circles so I asked him to walk through, and he did. At first he was confused and he went around so I lured him through the first one, then he went through all of them. There is a part of the riverwalk that connects to a sidewalk in the city, there is a small bridge with a stream of water going under it, I jumped over it (it was about a foot wide and maybe 6 inches deep), I thought Carlito would jump over too but he didn't... He decided to walk in! I was very proud of him because he wasn't scared at all. We practiced how down stay, block, cover, and him laying under my legs while I sit down. He did excellent! We have only been working on his tasks for a week and he is already doing great. I got very lucky with him. My great uncles ex girlfriends daughter is an AKC breeder and she shows her dogs. Carlito was the runt of the litter and the smartest. I wanted a black female but there was only 1 and she had a deposit down already, so I chose him. He looks similar to my first service dog too! I love him dearly and I can't believe how well he is doing. I constantly get compliments on him, he amazes me daily. I just wish he would stop trying to slap me..

I am so glad you’re back!! I missed you and Dallas!!

Wow, I love that you shined some light on some of the drawbacks or downsides to having a service dog. Service dogs can absolutely help with disabilities but it’s so important to realize that having one comes w obstacles and you have to determine if those drawbacks might cause you more problems than you are already dealing with. Sometimes the issues that come w owning, training and caring for (physically and financially) a service dog can make a persons life harder than it already is…. A great example of that is someone who is dealing with anxiety. The last thing they may want is many people approaching them every single time they go out in public to quickly run an errand or do something.

I'm so glad you're back! I've missed watching your videos. Also your hair is so pretty! Thank you for making these kinds of videos for us to see. I like that you brought up the difficulties that you go through on a regular basis out in public to show people that even though these dogs can help, they bring so much attention, wanted and unwanted!

Love that ur posting again!

your hair looks amazing in this

been missing your content

Great to have another video from you. That was a very thorough and comprehensive list. . I really like what you said about a service dog without training not being a service dog.

Firsttttt I'm so glad your back!!!

Dalla😅

I’m moving in with a service dog to a single freshman dorm, so nervous

Looks like the Houston Zoo

Service dogs are NOT allowed in food preparation areas, hospital operating theatres and animal contact areas within zoological parks. Service dogs must also have a 6-foot non-retractable leash attached to them at all times.

Pnl won’t message me back on Etsy lol😭

i have pots too :( sorry

I nearly choke on the analogy of the ketchup bottle😂😂

This was so helpful, does DOT paperwork or something similar apply for international travel too? And the extra room on the plane? And the service dog restrooms?
