My puppy goes in the crate at night because shes not potty trained fully. Crates are for training, not punishment, potty training takes time and it encourages them to hold it because they dont want to pee on themselves, if she wakes up at night with no crate she’ll pee on the floor, she can ask us to go and we’ll take her out, it also helps when we eat so she doesn’t jump on us. Me and my sister have school and my dad has work and Riley cant be left unattended especially home alone we put her in her crate when we are gone.

Thank you so much and that’s so exciting!!! I would recommend starting proper, safe socialization right away at 8 weeks of age and not waiting until they’re fully vaccinated. I am now a certified, professional service dog trainer and there are definitely things I do differently now than when I was an owner trainer.

@@tylerdobby4137 what about the vaccines? they aren't complete at 8 - 12 weeks :(

@@tylerdobby4137 thanks so much, i was worried i'd have to expose him to other dogs at 8 weeks but i'm glad that's not the case. i'm trying to train him to be a service dog and i don't want him to freak out or lunge at other dogs since i didn't 'socialize' him at a young young age, but i didnt want him to get parvo

This is old but if you're able to you can carry them in pet friendly places - no setting them down before at least 2 rounds of shots and not on organic material until all rounds of puppy shots is what I was told

Wait until 1 month after they are fully vaccinated before you let them on the floor. You can hold them, use a stroller, or bring some cleaning wipes and a bed to put inside of a cart after you clean it. Never let them on the ground, not even on concrete, parvo can live over a year on some surfaces. Bring pee pads and a bag to put them in during short outings, place the pee pad on the ground for them to potty, do not let them leave the pee pad, then pick up the puppy and put the pee pad in the bag and throw it away. Parvo is very expensive! They should have 4 rounds of vaccines.

Hi and thank you for your comment. I get this type of response often when people see I take young puppies out for socialization training. Before continuing I would like to add a disclaimer that I am now a professional trainer and still stand by by my decision to socialize puppies as early as possible as long as it is being done safely. Puppies have a window of time when they are young that is a prime time to introduce them to so many different things in their world and environment. Properly socializing a puppy safely will help to ensure you have a well rounded puppy that will grow up to be a well rounded non-reactive dog. In addition, it also allows for better training opportunities and smoother PA training sessions as the puppy grows. I will hopefully be making a video in the next couple weeks showing that Trinket at 9 months of age is almost completely trained as a SD (I have added a few tasks due to new recent medical diagnosis and we need to get back into PA training after taking time off due to illness and COVID). I do respect people’s decisions to keep their puppies home until fully vaccinated, I just don’t agree with waiting until after the puppy’s prime socialization window.

@@trinketoflove9992 no I completely agree with you. I was just saying thank you for taking your sdit to a pet friendly place. Because at this time in the video he doesn’t know any tasks in order to go into non pet friendly. As far as socializing. I am the same way. The younger the better. I started socializing as soon as at got mgmm mine which was 10 weeks. We did pet friendly places. I was just saying there are people out there that think they got the puppy now they can automatically go into non pet friendly places. Which it takes a lot of time and training to do that.

​@nataliechristensen420 rule of thumb is, dog knows 1 task, is decent with basic obedince, remains fairly neutral to the environment, and is potty trained, they can do short PA trips reguardless of age 👍

@@hay_Z2021 yup exactly

Here in Australia most assistance dogs (service dogs to non Australian/uk people) don’t start training until 18 months old unless being owner trained…before 18 months they’re typically housed in normal homes and are raised as normal pet dogs until 18 months old so I think you’ll be fine

Thank you so much! We’re also on TikTok @service_dog_trinket if you’d like to watch shorter, daily/weekly clips :)

Thank you so much! He likes to make an appearance every once in a while lol

That’s so exciting that you’re getting your prospect soon!!!

I don’t mind at all! The breeder I work with is VSGoldenfields in MT. She is an amazing breeder who will do the volhard puppy aptitude test and if you tell her the specific tasks you need, she will work with you to pick the right pup you need. Thank you so much for watching 🥰

Thank you so much for your comment! In regards to socialization, we worked on quite a bit; I started taking her to different pet friendly locations the first full day she was home while she was in a stroller (I made sure to choose ones that were quite to start with). I got her enrolled in a puppy class at 9 weeks and put her in a 30 minute puppy play group. I also worked on desensitizing her to different sounds I found on Spotify (Amazon music and RUclips work as well). We also worked on getting used to the hairdryer, vacuum, fan, air purifier (anything that made loud noises in the house) I made sure to give her lots of treats or play time so she built a positive association with each location, item, and sound.

Hi :) thank you for your comment. I did not know Ruffwear made sock liners and I will definitely have to check them out!

Hi :) thank you so much for your question. Thankfully she has not had any accidents in any of the stores we’ve been in so far since I made sure to take her potty before going into any store and made sure we did not go in unless she went potty. I also limited the amount to time to 15 minutes max to make sure she wouldn’t have any accidents. Also, I taught her to “go potty” on command so she would know when/where she could go.

This. I always been anxious while training my future service dog of some accident, barking, etc happening

@@Vantas_Black if you’re worried about barking, make sure your pup is fully focused on you in a setting that has no distractions then work up to a location that has more distractions. If your pup is barking at you because they’re excited, try giving them a little bit of food and a good play session before a training session. In regards to accidents, make sure your pup goes potty before you go inside and keep the session short (10-15min at the most). If your pup doesn’t potty, don’t go in the store; this will help your pup learn the routine of going potty before you go in to any location :)

@@trinketoflove9992 ooooh this is so helpful thank you so much :'( im still learning a lot before I get my pup.. Also, I was wondering now that I got your attention.. Any breed can be a service dog... But from what I understand it depends on temperament and the story behind the breed to see which fits for you?

@@Vantas_Black I’m glad I was able to help and am so excited for you to get your puppy! When selecting a breed, it’s important to get one that will be able to perform the tasks you need as well as fit your family lifestyle.
