  • hi! welcome to our channel!
    We went to barnes and noble again for #servicedogtraining ! We ran into a small situation that caused me to have an anxiety/panic attack, but luckily astro was their by my side to complete DEEP PRESSURE THERAPY (DPT). I'm so thankful for him! After, we sat down and practiced our DOWN STAYS. He's slowly learning to settle down in public!

    One of my favorite things to do for when people ask my sd name is, I trained him with a fake name. So when they ask I say Luke, when in reality he thinks that's just his focus command. So he'll stare at me and completely ignore them lol.

    when people approach to tell you about their dogs / unwanted conversations i usually just respond with “oh that’s so cool! i’d love to chat, but my dog is working right now / i’m in a bit of a hurry” it usually gets the point across and i haven’t had too many people who have found it to be rude

    Talking to strangers with your service dog is a very good training opportunity for you and your service dog! I have selective mutism and social phobia so I get pretty scared but I've noticed that I have gotten a lot better at talking due to that.

    ahh yes I relate so much I get so uncomfortable in the public conversations where you are trying to train, expressly tell someone you're training or have your dogs assistance tags clearly showing - and people still try approach your dog, or let their dog come up, or their kids etc. but I have never thought of not telling people her name.. because I feel like that would be a good deterrent. Also wow astro is AMAZING you are such a dedicated handler, it is really motivating!

    Oh my gosh the man was so inconsiderate and oblivious to the fact that you didn’t wanna keep talking. That’s great that he was able to keep the DPT for so long being a first time in public my SD does it with it home but we’re still working on a transfer to when we’re out

    I've been working on training my dog on my own for Autism/ADHD/Anxiety related tasks and hopefully in the future, migraines. I have been hesitating to put a SD vest or leash on her though because of the interactions. I keep worrying I won't be able or willing to handle them like the traditional professional SD owner is supposed to. She is an exceptionally gorgeous and unique looking dog so people are constantly coming up to us. She also loves attention and will even get depressed without it. But I've also noticed that has its upsides: I'm normally really bad at meeting and talking to people so she has helped to bring me social interactions. I also noticed she's really good at cheering them up or calming them down which then makes me happy in return. My dog is super well-behaved and can still perform her tasks when needed but I get worried the dog-training world will judge me if I let her seek belly-rubs while at the coffee shop.

    you guys are doing great! and so weird for a legit sd handler to approach someone, training or not! unfortunately annoying daily accouters is part of sd life but i promise you’ll get better at dealing with it and it will happen less the more normal and confident you are as a team. over time until you’ll barely notice it! i don’t even notice it now when everyone’s staring anymore until my friends/fam mentions it 😅

    When people won’t let up the conversation, I just say something alone the lines of ‘okay we’ll see you later!’ Or at the beginning if possible I just keep walking whilst we ‘exchange pleasantries’ because stopping can give off the vibe that you do want to talk… even though in situations like yours in this videos I personally thought it was clear you’d rather not have the conversation! People just need very clear signals or else they miss them unfortunately!
    Amazing how the other SD handler caused so much distraction to you and yours ! That’s so disappointing
    You guys did great as a team as always , and I hope you are feeling better from this trip 💕💕
    I’ve had to learn to be more stern with people than I would like to be, but sometimes you just have to or else we’d never be left alone ! It’s really hard to get all the attention that an SD brings but they are so worth it 💕

    for the talking thing, i'd respond to the last thing they said and then go 'i really have to go now/im in a hurry", it really freaks me out to have to confront people when they're trying to make conversation but i find ripping off the bandaid and then moving on is easiest (though it feels hardest in the moments). also, dont be afraid to just walk away! one day someone might be adamant that they talk to you so you can just smile and go 'uh huh.' while walking away. usually then they get the memo
    also, the other SD handler made me uncomfortable lol i could only imagine what it was like for you! the way they were gawking over astro and high pitched 'aww-ing', and then talking to you while he was clearly getting excited? big red flags (personality-wise). ouchh

    Thank you so much for expressing how you feel about when people approach you! It helps me to better know how and how not to behave around other SD teams in public. It also helps me to know what I should expect when/if I am able to get a service dog in the future. You are an inspiration to me because you are able to train Astro as your SD, it helps me to think that it might be possible for me as well. I also struggle a lot with anxiety, so it is nice to see that you can train him yourself despite your struggles. You might be able to say," It's nice to hear about your dogs, but I'm busy right now, could you let me go?" I am not sure if that sounds rude or not, but that is a possibility. God bless you and help you along your life's journey!

    7:49 i say "we are in the middle of something sorry but we have to go we are in a hurry." then they will usually leave you alone. also give them a fake name so when he will say it astro focuses on you not "who ever the person is calling to"

    I just went to B&N with my SDiT last weekend to do settle training, but they didn't have any chairs for me to sit so that was a bust 😅
    Astro did GREAT when they guy was talking to you and distracting him! I know you mentioned you're training, but at least from what I heard in the video, you didn't actually mention he was a service dog. Some people might not be able to see or read that part of his leash, so def don't hesitate to tell them. My pup wears a red vest, and I've noticed as soon as someone sees it or I mention she's in training to be a service dog, they back off.
    But kinda weird of the service dog handler to approach you too lol

    You and Astro are doing wonderful!! Astro did so well. You handled the man outside talking to you as well as the person inside who walked over to talk to you very well. Just a suggestion that my daughter uses when approached by people asking what her SD's name is .. she came up with a fake name to give them. This way the person can use it all they want and the dog completely ignores it. Astro did amazing even though that man was rude to be making all those noises and whatnot at him. That kind of stuff even irritates me when I'm out with my daughter and her SD. Having been personally training dogs for over 20 years there have been times I have had to step in and tell them to stop because it's against the law and my daughter could sue them if she so chose to because distracting a Service Dog is a federal crime. Keep up the good work!

    I have yet to bring my SD into high maintenance stores, due to people approaching and being utterly disrespectful to my situation and disability. Along with literal adults having no self control. I have grown a strong attitude towards people, because I need to maintain safety of my dog and myself. Distracting my dog puts my life in danger! When adults interact with my dog or me, i treat them directly and sternly. Because they are grown ass adults and should know better. I say things like “don’t touch her” “Please leave us alone“ “don’t do that” “please stop”. “when you distract her, you are putting my safety in danger, please, stop.” Afterwards I will immediately leave the area.
    If children approach me I understand, as a previous kindergarten teacher, that they are working on self control. I try to educate them in short sentences and use a calm direct voice. Like “no thank you, let’s keep our hands to ourselves please!” - “please let’s not do that, that’s very dangerous” - sometimes I really don’t have the attitude or function ability, so I find myself literally picking my SD up off the ground or walking away.
    Adults know better. They know how to control themselves and be decent human beings, I am not going to child-talk or argue my way around an adult or about an adults kid as to why the parents are inconsiderate and have no respect or awareness for disabled people.

    This happens to me way too often. I say sorry we can’t talk right now because we are training. If they continue, say it again and walk away. It’s just like training the dog. If they don’t listen the first time, they get a correction the second time, which is loss of the conversation and being rejected by you walking away. I know it takes away from what you were doing, but it’s best for you and the dog mentally at that point. You can always go back to the car, drive for a couple min, and then try again at the store later. In this case he was at the store so I honestly would have not done the training. I’ve been battling with anxiety and PTSD most of my life and used to be like you, staying in uncomfortable situations to not be rude to the other person. I’m 33 now and a psychologist now and have finally been getting more comfortable with being assertive with people even if it’s rude to them, and sometimes just letting it go and leaving situations and trying again another time. He was feeling entitled. He knows what he does. He does this regularly so as much as he gets away with it like he did this time, he also does experience people telling him off and walking away while he is talking. So it wouldn’t be his first time and he should expect it honestly. Your dog did amazing by the way, but staying in the uncomfortable situation retraumatizes you nervous system and can hurt progress you are making. Great video and keep up the good work ❤

    you may know this but when people talk to you about him or their dogs, it's in a good attention, maybe they didn't clearly saw the leash or maybe they did lol, but i get why people are coming over, astro such a pretty dog and seems so well behave so people are interested in him and want to have a talk about dogs you know, so if you don't want to have this convs just say that to them, it's not because you refuse something that youre mean !

      Unfortunately alot of times even if you do it nicely people get an attitude and just won't go away or will go to the manager or an employee and tell them that your service dog did something inappropriate out of spite when that didn't even happen. I literally had a 12 year old try for a good 30 minutes try to get my service dogs attention only to fail and then go tell a librarian that she jumped up on him which she didn't. This has happened with adults as well unfortunately. Ppl mess with SDs of all sizes but let me tell you they think it's sooooo cute to see and mess with a toy breed SDs even more like they're hoping it messes up so they have that excuse to mess with them.

    GIRL!! I wish I knew 😩 they don’t seam to understand how hard it is to talk to them while timing rewards and corrections with your dog, and for whatever reason a lot of the time the conversation is like really depressing and pointless, (usually talking about the dogs they had that died or something) I just never understood it, it’s like small talk, but 9/10 ALWAYS depressing... 🤦‍♀️

    It's so aggravating when every person who passes you wants to spend half an hour talking when they wouldn't give you the time of day if your dog weren't with you. On the other hand, you dont want to be so standoffish that people feel they can't approach you at all. We need relationships too! It's a crazy tightrope dance! 🤔

    Oof I feel ya! I have a 1 year old Australian Shepherd and I am now having big struggles with mediating people around her. We are around my family the most and I never really thought having full access to them so early would cause problems. I since realized it's becoming a problem and have tried to create boundaries with them, telling them over and over again ( please don't great her by flailing your arms around and having a high pitched voice) be calm and collected. Because she then gets excited, b lines it to them & jumps on then right away..( I try to leash her before this happens, but doesn't always go as planned) I've restated, restated this and it's always an excuse. " Well I like it when she jumps on me" " you try to control what she does to much" " she jumps because she doesn't have enough freedom" No it's because she doesn't know boundaries with people anymore. BECAUSE she had too much freedom. It's hard sometime too when you're out in public and somebody is walking up to your dog before they even open their mouth to ask permission. I am at the point where I am done being nice, it's exhausting and it wasted time to stop the action.

    I get anxious in social situations. It's bad enough that I will sometimes get tunnel vision when I know I have to be in an awkward social situation.
    And as a dog trainer, by the way, you are doing so so well with Astro! That's amazing work.

    hey there curious at what point did you feel comfortable using the service dog leash covers? like did you have a specific metric goal to reach before entering more non pet friendly stores? i'm also training my service dog myself and is pretty well mannered as far as the CGC goes minus the grooming reqs. i'm wondering what kind of metrics others are using before using these "SD" indicators to go into public spaces. TIA!

      !! Hi, I had to use the leash covers from day one. Without them, people would constantly approach us! Hmm, I made sure that astro was able to ignore people even if they talk to him. It’s important for him to redirect to ME even in distracting environments! I can make a video about this if you’d like! ❤️❤️

      In the us not all of the states allow sdits in public but in most states they do. Also in Canada they don’t allow a sdit in public. They need to take a PA test and then they get a certificate/a piece of paper that says they’re a service dog unlike the US papers for service dogs do not exist and they are scams

    I personally just ignore folks who try to come up and talk to us unless its a staff member of a store or something in case they want to ask the two questions. You can also try giving them a weird stare with out any other cues. People tend to feel awkward at that point and wander off. For people trying to pet my dog with out permission I very loudly say "No Touchy! Thats a felony." and then ignore them trying to argue with me, unless its a little kid and then I do the usual "Please dont touch! " I just dont have time to be dealing with the general publics invasiveness and I am hoping by just straight up ignoring people flat out I can try to make people understand some handlers would really rather not be bothered. We are also getting some leash wraps that say "Do not approach, Handler needs space"
