Thank you for explaining these more in depth! I have Panic Disorder/PTSD as well as health issues such as Anemia etc that can sometimes cause me to faint and it has been surprisingly hard to find info on tasks for things like that. I have been researching for a year or so to get a service dog to help me and this video has been really helpful!
I have anemia and I get low blood pressure episodes that cause me to faint or almost pass out. I am looking into training my puppy as a cardiac alert dog. Do swabs when you have these fainting episodes and swabs when you feel fine and they can smell the difference like a diabetic alert dog from what I’ve read.
Oh my god, I love she can do nightmare response. I'm bringing my puppy home and will be training him for psychiatry service for my PTSD and ASD. I get nightmares and night terrors as well and they are horrible. Usually my partner is good at waking up when I have them, but when he doesn't wake, it's really rough. Bailey is such a sweet girl❣️
Oh gosh finally something that explains the tasks, I’ve been looking up what the tasks look like it’d just be vague like “calms down anxiety” but yes how? Thanks for this video and your channel.
It’s awesome how many things dogs can be trained to do to help people and how much she clearly loved what she was doing what she was doing her tasks. I think it’s really impressive that you were able to train her to do that yourself, U2 clearly have a great bond. Do you have any videos on how you train to do cover? I’m trying to teach my SD to do that, stand behind or beside me when we’re in public to help lock me from people but I’m not sure where to start.
Me too. My dog sort of does it naturally, but she's part sheepdog of some description. We use her herding tendancies to make sure that she faces away from me in public and orbits me to keep people out of my bubble, if possible. It's now just getting her to face the other way. XD
This is really a great dog! While watching this video I realized that my dog is doing some of those tasks already without me ever training it, eg interrupting dysfunctional behavior or giving comfort in emotional breakdowns🐶😍
My service dog Dunkin is a goldendoodle. He reminds me to take my medications at the same time daily. He alerts during my seizures. By backing and getting my wife's attention..If I drop anything. Like keys, cell phone, mail. He picks it up for me. He carries small bags of groceries to the car for me. He also wakes me at the same time daily. If I were to have a person, give us a hard time. He sees me getting worked up. He will alert me. Then remove me from the place. . .
Bailey is so cute omg! Love her pale gray/white speckled paws and white-tipped tail! On a less happy note, i had a panic attack during this video which is a major bummer because they’re getting more and more frequent and i feel so helpless and terrified. My dog helps when she can, but she’s a pet and not a SD. I hope to one day get a SD and your videos are really helping me! ~
Thank you so much! Sorry to hear you had a panic attack. I hope you are able to find some coping/support strategies or get a SD to help you through those! You can even look into training your pet dog some helpful commands or at-home tasks to help! Good luck!
Huge fan of your channel! Just started following you recently! Your videos are so entertaining and educational, I have been freaking binging!!! Love you and Bailey, you both have so much to educate and inspire about. Thank you for your personal stories and sharing the things you’ve gone through, those in particular have helped me tremendously with things I’m experiencing with my service dog or school or flying etc. PS THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO TOO!!! AMAZING AND SOOO HELPFUL!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ sending tons of love!
I don't understand the follow so and so command. If you have a human nearby, why is the human not helping you? Can you describe a scenario where you need to focus on her while she's following a designated family member? Thanks! Amazing video!
Great question! Typically we use that command in scenarios where I am getting sensory overload in a crowded place, and it is easier to navigate the crowd with the person I am with walking in front of me and my service dog following them rather than the person physically guiding me through an area. The person with me is not always able to hold my hand to pull me through a crowd or may be a coworker or friend who isn't knowledgeable about the details of my disability, so this command works well for us in a wider range of situations than just relying on having a human available to know how to help with what I need. Thanks for your support! 😊
It is trainable depending on what your dissociative episodes are like! I had to figure out what it looked like when I did and what warning signs and behaviors I had leading up to it
Can you please do a video in depth how you had her understand and do the command bc idk how to teach my dog to put his whole body on me and I just need help please or how he knows how to respond when I have a panic attack
I have PTSD from childhood truma and surrving hurricane Harvey and training my dog as medical alert she has been doing good all she has to finish her training you can train your own dog in the United States I started training her at home and in public she does alert to me before a panic attack and she distracts me during a PTSD episode by licking me and when I'm laying down she does light theraphy pressure Wich is still a task by small dog she also nudges and paws at me and when I put my hands in front of my face since she's small she will come up to me and lick me constily as a distraction
Yes. I have ADHD (but also social anxiety disorder and sever panic). I've only just gotten a letter from my psychiatrist validating/recommending my dog as an esa. I'm beginning with training now, mostly for the anxiety and panic, but with ADHD, they can help with sensory overload and routine.
My psychologist wrote me a letter for a service dog - the only medically diagnosed condition I have is ADHD. There is a lot of symptom overlap with PTSD, anxiety/depression and ADHD so if you have symptoms that a service dog can mitigate then I feel likes it’s a pretty legitimate use. It mainly depends on what your symptoms are and if a service dog can mitigate them.
I’m curious as to how she knows before you do that you’re about to be triggered/have an anxiety attack/flashbacks before you do. In my case, I think that my triggers are very specific, I know (almost always) when I am going to be anxious, & I know exactly what will trigger me & to what degree. Flashbacks happen pretty much all the time. How will my dog be able to anticipate all (or any) of these things before I do? (She’s doing PA now & then we start individual)
Hi! Your video was very educational! I was wondering if I would qualify for a service dog. I have anxiety, and I have had several recent panic attacks. I also suffer from dermatillomania (skin picking disorder). I have had this since I was four and it greatly interferes with my life. It stops me from doing things that I would want to participate in. It is also a big struggle in school, I end up needing to leave class a lot and head to my locker for bandaids. I have tried so many things to stop this, but each method has failed. So, I’m just wondering if a service dog could help this.
I'm not a specialist but from what I've seen, if your condition disables you or stops you from doing what you need, you could qualify for a service dog. Try and research a little bit to make sure, though.
Since those things interfere with your day to day major life activities, yes it sounds like you would qualify! Definitely look into some more research on how you could benefit though! Some potential tasks (based on what you mentioned) would be behavior interruption or alerts, panic attack response, and deep pressure therapy to help deescalate anxiety. But everyone is different so you should look into what specifically could help you best in your situation.
If a service dog isn't appropriate I've had good luck with wearing ultra thin electric appliance sensitive gloves to stop my OCD & Aniety related picking. Just a suggestion that works for me.
I'm scouring the internet and trying to figure out how to get my service dog in training to recognize anger which is anxiety related because that's usually my first reaction unfortunately. Are there any tips that you may know for Kratos (sdit) to recognize my pulse spike and lead me out of that situation ? I need it to happen before it escalates and I dissociate (black out) and say something or do something I'll regret. When I get angry I get hyper focused on that person or situation. I can stay angry for days or until situation is resolved. Thank you for making this video.
I haven't trained a service dog before but some thoughts I had were maybe try to notice something that happens before the episodes? Like a certain reaction or something you always do and train the SD to alert to that? If you can't think of any you could ask family and friends to see if they notice something you do before the episodes hit.
love the video. so how can i train my dog to do the following. 1. Step in so to speak when i am in public and i want to get away from ppl but the ppl are persistent in talking etc....2. inside panic attacks, I get pyhsical with myself and i have seen videos of dogs working with other with the same type of self harm.....3. general take down, for sitting during an attack or laying down? so far my girl is home trained and outside its a distraction and with other dogs all bets are off. she is 11 months old and is actaully pretty good with verbal, non verbal and leash pressure commands (like rein training). anything i can do daily to maximize the 'connection' for a lack of a better word fo rmy girl to pick up on the things i would like her to do during episodes? im not even sure this make sense. My entire town knows i am training her for outdoor service work and they allow me inside to do sessions or shop. thanks in advance. new to the channel.
At 6:27-28 in you video you bring up a task "holding up in court". Please explain. My service dog has been trained that at times he must do things without being given a command. Mine will do full body pressure without being commanded to. I wish I could upload a picture for you that the nursing staff in the ED at my local hospital took of him doing exactly that. He jumped up on the stretcher and laid on top of me with out any command knowing I was really stressed out. I was taken from there into the catherization lab and had three stents put around my heart, so yes I was stressed.
You differentiation between a "medical" service dog and a "psychiatric" service dog puzzles me. I have mine because of PTSD. I am on medication for that prescribed for me by an MD. I also have the diagnosis by a PHD Neuro-psychologist that states that I need the service dog. Now what is my dog?
Hi! If an access issue has to be taken to court, the court can ask for proof that your service dog is appropriately trained and that the tasks mitigate your disability. For the distinction between medical and psychiatric, I think I filmed this video before the new ACAA rules, so they were distinct categories with different rules when flying in the US. Now the rules treat the two the same under one category. I definitely agree that psychiatric disabilities are medical disabilities, but the distinction was partially legal and partially to help identify for viewers the type of medical disability being described/trained for. I hope that answers your questions!
@@baileytheservicepupper Generally that does give me the answers. One thing I think that should be mentioned and mentioned again to anyone that is going to train their own service dog is the keeping of a training log. I believe 120 hours is the accepted minimum length of training although I don't think it is enough. Mine had many more hours than 120. This log is a necessary backup for legal purposes as well. I had to put mine down the last Wednesday in May of this year. I pick up his genetic younger brother on 24 September 2022 and then we start all over. I was a dog trainer in the military and later commanding officer of our dog training school command. EVERY dog MUST have a training log. I train mine for search and rescue tracking as well so I will have over 300 hours for both disciplines. I keep separate log books for both although there is some cross over in training.Thanks for your quick reply.
I know I'm not who your question is targeted at, but I don't believe this channel is very active at the moment. DPT, cortisol alert, anxious behavior alert, takedowns, fetching medication, and LPT are all fairly common tasks/behaviors for psychiatric service dogs. Cortisol is one of the chemicals made when you are anxious and can be very helpful in getting an alert for an attack before you begin feeling anxious and can help with preventing an attack all together. If you are on any type of medication it can be helpful to have a service dog remind you to take it on time or to get any meds you have for emergencies (if that applies to you of course) The other ones were pretty much covered in the video
The way I taught for scratching started out by teaching the way I wanted my dog to alert (in home, non-public access). In my case I chose tapping with a paw since she already knew how to shake hands. I named the alert 'touch'. You then do the anxious behavior and give the command to alert while still doing the behavior. Over time you take away the vocal command so that the anxious behavior becomes the command to alert. For escalated alerts I chose a jumping up behavior (gently). After getting an alert, continue the anxious behavior while encouraging my dog to do 'paws up' if I ignore the first few alerts. It takes a while, but eventually they will do it without the command in the form of an alert ruclips.net/video/uLmCIYCjbL8/видео.html this is one of the tutorials I used
I wouldn't say it is weird, but definitely something to take note of! If DPT is the only task your SD has, that could be an issue if you end up needing to defend your service dog in court for any reason. Most times, the way DPT is differentiated from "comfort" is due to the fact that a similar weight on the same area from a non-animal would have a similar effect. If the same effect can't be achieved with just weight and pressure from an inanimate object, then the benefit is attributed to comfort and not the DPT task. Comfort is not a task under the ADA so unless your dog also has other tasks then they would not qualify as a SD for public access. If they also use other tasks then it shouldn't be an issue at all.
Would love to chat w u more one on one if that's ok. I have anxiety n my girl Sage has really helped but would love to/need to get her response more.... as well as for learning for helping for arthritis in my hands
I trained the PSD responses on my own since Bailey caught on very fast, but we worked with a professional to train her public access skills since she struggled with those more.
I never realized that scratching was a thing for other people. I was being stalked by someone with a gun and after one encounter I turned the shower up super hot and scratched myself all over until I was bleeding.
I've learned a lot about service dogs because I've been debating getting one as it would help me greatly but because I still live at home(even tho I'm 18) I can't get one because of my mom. She doesn't think anything's wrong with me even though I've been to therapy(didn't help), been diagnosed, been on medication but that was years ago and I've just been getting worse again. I also have a dog at home, so does anyone maybe have any advice?
@@rose87245 I was referring to the way her mom treats her disability. Not her wanting a service dog. Denying someone aid they need for their disability and denying their disability in general is abuse and neglect. How bout learning to comprehend what you read?
I need a dog like that cause my anxiety P TSD my seizures it's all over the place and the place and I need a dog I got so much underlying and stress I can't tell when what's and what's gonna happen until after it's happened And then my recovery takes much longer and I don't feel well As well as I'm completely alone cause I had to get away from my mom and stuff that they were still like my meds taking advantage of me making the situation worse I have my own 2 bedroom 2 bathroom and I have a dog park on my backyard I hate going outside I went outside Tuesday and I felt fine with that and I don't know where I felt as soon as I thought I was Fine but then I felt a seizure coming onNo I don't feel well it's been a week trying to get my body to relax
i have a sdit rn just stated and its nice to see kind off what this stuff will look like i have ptsd deu to my bi**h A** dad also the cover will be good in stores
E collar sends a light vibration or noise (beep) to get the dogs attention to focus. They are not shock collars and are humane. An e collar has a remote come with it to send vibrations or sound
My dog does this and I didn’t teach her or I didn’t know I taught her. I would be out of my mind she comes and sits beside me or jumps on me and I change back.
Bailey doesnt wear a prong, but she does use a martingale for her tags and leash attachment. Her ecollar has the best contact high up, so we keep it above the martingale. I dont have a lot of experience with prongs, so I'm not sure how its placement would compare with the ecollar's position.
Bailey the Service Pupper ah ok that was the Martingale lol. Ya the prong would be at the highest point of the neck then the e collar then the flat collar it’s normally called the e collar sandwich lol
Im looking to train my pup to be my service dog but i don't realize the stuff i do when having an episode. I have an esd but shes older and has her own medical issues
if you're not quite sure you could ask someone who's seen it maybe? you could also film it but it would be a bit harder. all the best!! good luck training your pup
I was wondering if I could go through the training and register my dog as a service dog, but not one for me. I don’t have disabling anxiety any more so my dog can’t be MY service dog, but could they be A service dog and accompany me? I did start training another dog when my anxiety was worse, but he got run over. And I am Aware if ESAs. I was going to register my bird as one because he would snuggle super hard and lick my tears, which is totally distracting from dark thoughts. Though do I NEED a psychiatrist’s note for that, or can a normal doc do it, or can I just put an ESA vest?
A doctors note is only necessary if you intend to fly or rent an apartment. The doctors letter only needs to state your information, your doctors details and a description of why you need to be accompanied by a dog. The information about the animal is not required. It can be a psych or just your family doctor or gp. Mine is from a psychiatrist. There is no legitimate registration or certification for an esa. There are websites that advertise it with a fee but stay far away from those. They are not legitimate. ESAs are not exempt from restaurants or shops with no dog policies. As far as the vest goes, you should only do that if you genuinely need to. You shouldn't just get it a vest so that you can go where ever you want with your pet. There is a lot of controversy around that because taking advantage of the system makes it really difficult for people who genuinely require an esa and even muddies the water for service and medical alert dogs.
if you can’t even keep a dog from getting run over, especially while it is in training, you probably shouldn’t even have a dog, let alone be able to benefit from one working for you as a service. and don’t put a vest on a bird. no.
00zarzu00 Farm dogs often run loose, and that was his main job. He accompanied me while I rode my horse. He got confused on which way the road was while chasing a car and veered the wrong way. It’s been at least 3 years since that happened, He was a mostly outside dog who was just learning to be an inside dog. I live in rural Alabama, we HAVE to use dogs to prevent mass loss of livestock. As for the bird, he never liked things on him and I never had to go anywhere that needed him. Sadly, he was special needs with respiratory issues and suspected epilepsy. Yes, he practically went to the vet monthly, but he recently passed back in august. If you wish to know more about how I treat my animals, I have a few videos on my channel, and another channel for Tobi the Aussie Lab Pup, who is my new puppy. I am also aware that ESAs have no special permission to go anywhere. But he did really help me.
So there are no registrations, certificates, or documents for service or emotional support animals. Those are all scams. And A service dog not YOUR service dog, isn't really a thing. You need a diagnosed disability by a doctor, nothing else worked for your disability and doctors approval for service dog. For ESA, a doctors note and disability like (disabling/severe) anxiety, depression, PTSD, OCD, Biplor, etc.
@@rose87245 So it turns out that I qualify for a service dog according to ADA law. I talked it over with my psychiatrist and she said it was good. I never knew how much he would help me. I’m looking at getting a job for the first time in my life (other than a bit with a church that ended in disaster). Even if it’s something small, it will be my first job and I’m 21yo.
Yes. You can even take them through TSA with the ecollar on, but they can pat down the dog if they beep while going through the metal detector. I generally take her through security naked so we can get through faster, but the ecollar is absolutely allowed in security and on the plane
Hi! Ummm, I have so many questions. I watched you “is a SD right for me” and I know (and have known) that it is and that I am documented as legally psychiatrically disables with PTSD. I already have the assurances of my doctor doctor that they would sign off on my certifications. These tasks truly look like they are life saving. How did you go about finding the right trainer for you? Is Bailey adopted? Or did you get her from a breeder? I’m assuming you consulted a professional trainer based on your video and that was also my plan but I’m wondering how much you did on my own? I haven’t gotten my dog yet bc I’m waiting until I’m in a more stable living situation but I have been learning a lot about dog training over the past year as well. This is way too long but basically, how did you finally get bailey? And when did it finally all come together with her being able to perform her tasks bc believe me, I need help w these things
I have severe anxiety and I want to get a service dog because i sometimes self harm, and hyperventilate to the point where I pass out, and I also dissociate when im surrounded by large crowds or have people standing close to me or loud sounds and I crack my knuckles and twist my wrists, and one time I actually broke a finger from it, and therapy doesn’t help, but my dad doesn’t want another dog, and my dog that I have now misbehaves and has trouble paying attention to anything so I don’t know what I should do
@@florakuu Are you still around and willing to give advice? I saw this comment and was curious so tried to search, but you must have changed your Instagram tag :(
@@florakuu Oh, awesome! Do you still have an insta I could message you on or? I've just been interested in a service dog but haven't yet gotten into opportunities where I could talk to people with one about it...
I have a very odd question that I feel like is dumb but, why do you have to buy special service dogs from service dog breeders? Why can’t it be possible to train any puppy?
This is a great question! Not every dog/puppy can be trained to be a service dog because it requires specific temperment/characteristics. For example, some dogs are naturally too protective or easily startled for service dog work and can cause disruptions in public due to growling or barking. Another example is dogs without sufficient drive or interest in their handler, so they don't task consistently. A service dog also needs to be healthy to work ethically, so some dogs wouldn't be trained due to underlying health issues. Some breeds, based on their breed standard, are more likely to have a temperment that will lead to more successful service work, like labs, Goldens, poodles, and smooth/rough collies. All ethical Breeders should breed for healthier and tempermentally stable dogs, and breeders can also specifically breed for temperments for service work to increase the chances of dogs being successful in being trained. It is not a requirement to buy from a service dog breeder, but it can greatly increase success rates and reduce training difficulties. My first service dog Bailey did not come from a breeder, but my second SD Dimitri did and the training process for Dimitri was a lot easier because we did not need to work through undesirable behavior or temperment issues.
almost anyone can benefit from an SD!! any way you can train your dog to perform a tadk to help you. as shown in this video, if you scratch when you're anxious, a dog could help! I've also seen dogs assist when an owner spaces out, there are dogs that are trained to smell the hormone before you have a panic attack, etc. I'm sure you qualify!! the ADA website also shares :)
@@rose87245 it's not required to go through all meds etc before getting a service animal. You do need drs approval and to have specific tasks the SD provides for you.
@@rose87245 They don't have to be, because finding the right medication can be a long exhaustive process. Why if a SD could provide that support and in turn up quality of life would you want to wait three to five years or more before doing something that works?
Is your registered ADA dog ? If so where can I reg my dog ? There are so many adds on line don't know witch to choose from . Two many fakers out there . Thanks Joe
8:45 if you are really about to faint and are barely stable enough to stand, that takedown is going to push you to the ground and force you to hit your head, really hard. obviously when you are training, you are stable enough to sit first and gradually lie yourself down, but it wouldn't be the case in a real scenario. just look at how much neck strength it takes you to slowly rest your head after lying down. that's really not a safe task and you should retrain her to nudge or paw you. please don't go around making educational videos before educating yourself on these things. this could seriously put others who faint in danger
This task was specifically trained for my needs and symptoms, so she knows when she should and shouldn't respond that way. This task works great for us and has been used safely many times in real life situations (not just simulated or training situations like the video shows). You're totally right that people should consider all the factors before training a task like that, since what works for me might not work for other people. I never said that this was for everyone, just that this is how she is trained to respond to my episodes. And her response makes it considerably safer for me. I'm glad you commented this so other people can consider how their task work may differ based on how their symptom differ too! But for us, this works wonderfully.
You should NEVER have a static correction collar on a REAL service dog. Your video causes problems for Real service animals and people who are truly disabled
Um says what law? Some dogs due to the needs of their handler can't wear leashes but are still required to be "restrained" when in public per county/state leash laws. An ecollar allows for this.
your dog is probably thinking “jeez she’s having a bad day” lol
@Noir En may I ask why?
omfggg hilarious >.
Her: * is itchy * scratch scratch
Bailey : this looks like a job for me.
That's not an itch it's a self harm behavior
Dakota&Blessing ServiceTeam they meant it would be funny if she was actually scratching and itch and the dog alerts 😂
@@abitofbay2973 ah ok
@@abitofbay2973 lol happened to my friend with a medical alert dog with a few physciatric tasks

If I were to have a person, give us a hard time. He sees me getting worked up. He will alert me. Then remove me from the place.

Bailey is so cute omg! Love her pale gray/white speckled paws and white-tipped tail!
On a less happy note, i had a panic attack during this video which is a major bummer because they’re getting more and more frequent and i feel so helpless and terrified.
My dog helps when she can, but she’s a pet and not a SD. I hope to one day get a SD and your videos are really helping me! ~
Thank you so much! Sorry to hear you had a panic attack. I hope you are able to find some coping/support strategies or get a SD to help you through those! You can even look into training your pet dog some helpful commands or at-home tasks to help! Good luck!

AMAZING AND SOOO HELPFUL!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ sending tons of love!
Aw thank you so so much for the support!! ❤❤❤
I don't understand the follow so and so command. If you have a human nearby, why is the human not helping you? Can you describe a scenario where you need to focus on her while she's following a designated family member? Thanks! Amazing video!
Great question! Typically we use that command in scenarios where I am getting sensory overload in a crowded place, and it is easier to navigate the crowd with the person I am with walking in front of me and my service dog following them rather than the person physically guiding me through an area. The person with me is not always able to hold my hand to pull me through a crowd or may be a coworker or friend who isn't knowledgeable about the details of my disability, so this command works well for us in a wider range of situations than just relying on having a human available to know how to help with what I need.
Thanks for your support! 😊
She is beautiful!! ❤
Thank you!! ❤️
I appreciate this video so much. Thank you🤍
i love this video, i just started three months ago training my doberman as my ptsd service dog
What a beautiful dog, so glad you have the dog that can help you! 😊
thank u i got so many great ideas for adding into my training! blessed be you's
Bailey is the of my service dog!!
very helpful, saving this to refer to when I get my psychiatric/medical alert service dog in training. Thank you!
Thank you for this video! I never thought about traing my dog to stop me from scratching!
I’m curious how Bailey is able to tell when you’re dissociating?
How can she tell you are going to disassociate? I could definitely use that but is it trainable?
Salem Roses i was thinking that too! i heavily dissociate due to DID and it’d be so helpful if a SD could help with that
It is trainable depending on what your dissociative episodes are like! I had to figure out what it looked like when I did and what warning signs and behaviors I had leading up to it
Very well explained, thanks!
Thanks for your support!
Can you please do a video in depth how you had her understand and do the command bc idk how to teach my dog to put his whole body on me and I just need help please or how he knows how to respond when I have a panic attack
I have severe ADHD and was wondering if you can have a service dog for ADHD
Yes you can if it disables you! They can do tasks like remind you to take medication or do behavior interruptions etc.
I have PTSD from childhood truma and surrving hurricane Harvey and training my dog as medical alert she has been doing good all she has to finish her training you can train your own dog in the United States I started training her at home and in public she does alert to me before a panic attack and she distracts me during a PTSD episode by licking me and when I'm laying down she does light theraphy pressure Wich is still a task by small dog she also nudges and paws at me and when I put my hands in front of my face since she's small she will come up to me and lick me constily as a distraction
Yes. I have ADHD (but also social anxiety disorder and sever panic). I've only just gotten a letter from my psychiatrist validating/recommending my dog as an esa. I'm beginning with training now, mostly for the anxiety and panic, but with ADHD, they can help with sensory overload and routine.
An esa is very different from a service dog, which is what they’re asking about
My psychologist wrote me a letter for a service dog - the only medically diagnosed condition I have is ADHD. There is a lot of symptom overlap with PTSD, anxiety/depression and ADHD so if you have symptoms that a service dog can mitigate then I feel likes it’s a pretty legitimate use. It mainly depends on what your symptoms are and if a service dog can mitigate them.
8:49 sweet Bailey ❤️🎯💯
Hi, how exactly do you teach your dog to recognize that a dissociation episode is coming?
I’m curious as to how she knows before you do that you’re about to be triggered/have an anxiety attack/flashbacks before you do. In my case, I think that my triggers are very specific, I know (almost always) when I am going to be anxious, & I know exactly what will trigger me & to what degree. Flashbacks happen pretty much all the time. How will my dog be able to anticipate all (or any) of these things before I do? (She’s doing PA now & then we start individual)
Hi! Your video was very educational! I was wondering if I would qualify for a service dog. I have anxiety, and I have had several recent panic attacks. I also suffer from dermatillomania (skin picking disorder). I have had this since I was four and it greatly interferes with my life. It stops me from doing things that I would want to participate in. It is also a big struggle in school, I end up needing to leave class a lot and head to my locker for bandaids. I have tried so many things to stop this, but each method has failed. So, I’m just wondering if a service dog could help this.
I'm not a specialist but from what I've seen, if your condition disables you or stops you from doing what you need, you could qualify for a service dog. Try and research a little bit to make sure, though.
Since those things interfere with your day to day major life activities, yes it sounds like you would qualify! Definitely look into some more research on how you could benefit though! Some potential tasks (based on what you mentioned) would be behavior interruption or alerts, panic attack response, and deep pressure therapy to help deescalate anxiety. But everyone is different so you should look into what specifically could help you best in your situation.
If a service dog isn't appropriate I've had good luck with wearing ultra thin electric appliance sensitive gloves to stop my OCD & Aniety related picking. Just a suggestion that works for me.
She’s a sweetheart.
They banned ecollars in my state in Australia, unfortunately. It’s so unfair when they’re such great tools.
You can still use other corrections too like coin jars and leash pops though.
Wait is that what you were talking about
Sorry if not ;-;
Did you train the pup all by yourself? Could you give me some good references if so please :) am about to get a dog to train as my SD
Very interesting thank you💜
Thanks for your support!
I'm scouring the internet and trying to figure out how to get my service dog in training to recognize anger which is anxiety related because that's usually my first reaction unfortunately. Are there any tips that you may know for Kratos (sdit) to recognize my pulse spike and lead me out of that situation ? I need it to happen before it escalates and I dissociate (black out) and say something or do something I'll regret. When I get angry I get hyper focused on that person or situation. I can stay angry for days or until situation is resolved. Thank you for making this video.
I haven't trained a service dog before but some thoughts I had were maybe try to notice something that happens before the episodes? Like a certain reaction or something you always do and train the SD to alert to that? If you can't think of any you could ask family and friends to see if they notice something you do before the episodes hit.
Wow amazing dog
How would you train a dog to alert you 15 minutes before something happens??! My bb will only recognize it about 2 minutes before.
Alerts are not trained, they are a natural ability not all dogs have that you mold into a task :)
he is so cute
love the video. so how can i train my dog to do the following. 1. Step in so to speak when i am in public and i want to get away from ppl but the ppl are persistent in talking etc....2. inside panic attacks, I get pyhsical with myself and i have seen videos of dogs working with other with the same type of self harm.....3. general take down, for sitting during an attack or laying down? so far my girl is home trained and outside its a distraction and with other dogs all bets are off. she is 11 months old and is actaully pretty good with verbal, non verbal and leash pressure commands (like rein training). anything i can do daily to maximize the 'connection' for a lack of a better word fo rmy girl to pick up on the things i would like her to do during episodes? im not even sure this make sense. My entire town knows i am training her for outdoor service work and they allow me inside to do sessions or shop. thanks in advance. new to the channel.
At 6:27-28 in you video you bring up a task "holding up in court". Please explain. My service dog has been trained that at times he must do things without being given a command. Mine will do full body pressure without being commanded to. I wish I could upload a picture for you that the nursing staff in the ED at my local hospital took of him doing exactly that. He jumped up on the stretcher and laid on top of me with out any command knowing I was really stressed out. I was taken from there into the catherization lab and had three stents put around my heart, so yes I was stressed.
You differentiation between a "medical" service dog and a "psychiatric" service dog puzzles me. I have mine because of PTSD. I am on medication for that prescribed for me by an MD. I also have the diagnosis by a PHD Neuro-psychologist that states that I need the service dog. Now what is my dog?
Hi! If an access issue has to be taken to court, the court can ask for proof that your service dog is appropriately trained and that the tasks mitigate your disability.
For the distinction between medical and psychiatric, I think I filmed this video before the new ACAA rules, so they were distinct categories with different rules when flying in the US. Now the rules treat the two the same under one category. I definitely agree that psychiatric disabilities are medical disabilities, but the distinction was partially legal and partially to help identify for viewers the type of medical disability being described/trained for. I hope that answers your questions!
@@baileytheservicepupper Generally that does give me the answers. One thing I think that should be mentioned and mentioned again to anyone that is going to train their own service dog is the keeping of a training log. I believe 120 hours is the accepted minimum length of training although I don't think it is enough. Mine had many more hours than 120. This log is a necessary backup for legal purposes as well. I had to put mine down the last Wednesday in May of this year. I pick up his genetic younger brother on 24 September 2022 and then we start all over. I was a dog trainer in the military and later commanding officer of our dog training school command. EVERY dog MUST have a training log. I train mine for search and rescue tracking as well so I will have over 300 hours for both disciplines. I keep separate log books for both although there is some cross over in training.Thanks for your quick reply.
I also have over active adrenal system would dpt help with that too I pass out to sudden intense pain if I dont sit down quickly enough
Awesome!
I started crying at 8:56. I'm so glad that you two found eachother. 🥲
I was telling my mom about a toy service dog plush and she’s like oh so I won’t have to buy a real service dog I corrected her but i5 made me laugh
I have severe anxiety // panic disorders. Is there anything you recommend me teaching my future service dog?
I know I'm not who your question is targeted at, but I don't believe this channel is very active at the moment. DPT, cortisol alert, anxious behavior alert, takedowns, fetching medication, and LPT are all fairly common tasks/behaviors for psychiatric service dogs. Cortisol is one of the chemicals made when you are anxious and can be very helpful in getting an alert for an attack before you begin feeling anxious and can help with preventing an attack all together. If you are on any type of medication it can be helpful to have a service dog remind you to take it on time or to get any meds you have for emergencies (if that applies to you of course) The other ones were pretty much covered in the video
How did you train him the scratching one some things I do when anxious and are uncomfortable is scratch the back of my head and neck
The way I taught for scratching started out by teaching the way I wanted my dog to alert (in home, non-public access). In my case I chose tapping with a paw since she already knew how to shake hands. I named the alert 'touch'. You then do the anxious behavior and give the command to alert while still doing the behavior. Over time you take away the vocal command so that the anxious behavior becomes the command to alert. For escalated alerts I chose a jumping up behavior (gently). After getting an alert, continue the anxious behavior while encouraging my dog to do 'paws up' if I ignore the first few alerts. It takes a while, but eventually they will do it without the command in the form of an alert ruclips.net/video/uLmCIYCjbL8/видео.html this is one of the tutorials I used
Charlie G thank you
Is it weird that I don't like weighted blankets but I like when animals do DPT? Weighted blankets actually make me more anxious
I wouldn't say it is weird, but definitely something to take note of! If DPT is the only task your SD has, that could be an issue if you end up needing to defend your service dog in court for any reason. Most times, the way DPT is differentiated from "comfort" is due to the fact that a similar weight on the same area from a non-animal would have a similar effect. If the same effect can't be achieved with just weight and pressure from an inanimate object, then the benefit is attributed to comfort and not the DPT task. Comfort is not a task under the ADA so unless your dog also has other tasks then they would not qualify as a SD for public access. If they also use other tasks then it shouldn't be an issue at all.
@@baileytheservicepupper weighted blankets trigger my claustrophobia. DPT is localized so I don’t feel locked in.
Would love to chat w u more one on one if that's ok. I have anxiety n my girl Sage has really helped but would love to/need to get her response more.... as well as for learning for helping for arthritis in my hands
Did you have a professional trainer help with the PSD responses or did you train on your own?
I trained the PSD responses on my own since Bailey caught on very fast, but we worked with a professional to train her public access skills since she struggled with those more.
I'm training my svc.dog I'm autistic I'm working on her alerts she is getting better have any tips
What breed is she? I’m currently looking into a service dog for pots, panic disorder and agoraphobia!
I never realized that scratching was a thing for other people. I was being stalked by someone with a gun and after one encounter I turned the shower up super hot and scratched myself all over until I was bleeding.
Scratching can be from a histamine or allergic response as well.
@@lovely1_mama A histamine response can come from stress, too.
I've learned a lot about service dogs because I've been debating getting one as it would help me greatly but because I still live at home(even tho I'm 18) I can't get one because of my mom. She doesn't think anything's wrong with me even though I've been to therapy(didn't help), been diagnosed, been on medication but that was years ago and I've just been getting worse again. I also have a dog at home, so does anyone maybe have any advice?
Maybe depending on your disability get a dog trained by an organization?
Move out that's abuse
@@odinsraven1584 lol sure 😂😂😂😂 don't act like you know about something you don't. Try looking at service dog laws and real info
@@rose87245 I was referring to the way her mom treats her disability. Not her wanting a service dog. Denying someone aid they need for their disability and denying their disability in general is abuse and neglect. How bout learning to comprehend what you read?
@@odinsraven1584 ok sorry I misunderstood. Don't have to beat me up. Smh
I need a dog like that cause my anxiety P TSD my seizures it's all over the place and the place and I need a dog I got so much underlying and stress I can't tell when what's and what's gonna happen until after it's happened And then my recovery takes much longer and I don't feel well As well as I'm completely alone cause I had to get away from my mom and stuff that they were still like my meds taking advantage of me making the situation worse I have my own 2 bedroom 2 bathroom and I have a dog park on my backyard I hate going outside I went outside Tuesday and I felt fine with that and I don't know where I felt as soon as I thought I was Fine but then I felt a seizure coming onNo I don't feel well it's been a week trying to get my body to relax
i have a sdit rn just stated and its nice to see kind off what this stuff will look like i have ptsd deu to my bi**h A** dad also the cover will be good in stores
Good luck with training! Sorry to hear you have to deal with that but I hope your SDiT will be able to help!
Can I teach them to turn the lights on so I don’t get depressed? Lights on snaps me out of it!!!
I trained my Service Dog. It looks like your pup is wearing an E collar. Can you please explain why and how you use it. Thanks
E collar sends a light vibration or noise (beep) to get the dogs attention to focus. They are not shock collars and are humane. An e collar has a remote come with it to send vibrations or sound
My dog does this and I didn’t teach her or I didn’t know I taught her. I would be out of my mind she comes and sits beside me or jumps on me and I change back.
Yay a girl dog named bailey like me bayleee I’m so happy nowwe
Shouldn't the prong be above the e collar?
Bailey doesnt wear a prong, but she does use a martingale for her tags and leash attachment. Her ecollar has the best contact high up, so we keep it above the martingale. I dont have a lot of experience with prongs, so I'm not sure how its placement would compare with the ecollar's position.
Bailey the Service Pupper ah ok that was the Martingale lol. Ya the prong would be at the highest point of the neck then the e collar then the flat collar it’s normally called the e collar sandwich lol
I have nightmares and I don’t have anyone to tell me how I react. How do I train her to wake me up?
💜💜💜💜
Why does Bailey have an E collar on inside? Do you have her in it all day?
it might be hard for the owner to remember to remove/place the collar. I'm sure it doesn't bother the dog
I'm having my small Malchi Maltese Chihuahua dog mix as my psychiatric service dog she is almost 2 how do I do this I'm new here
How does the dog help with nightmares?
How'd you teach disassociation alerts?
Where or who trained your dog? I am looking for a psychiatric service dog for my daughter that needs very similar training.
Im looking to train my pup to be my service dog but i don't realize the stuff i do when having an episode. I have an esd but shes older and has her own medical issues
if you're not quite sure you could ask someone who's seen it maybe? you could also film it but it would be a bit harder. all the best!! good luck training your pup
how did you train her?
I was wondering if I could go through the training and register my dog as a service dog, but not one for me. I don’t have disabling anxiety any more so my dog can’t be MY service dog, but could they be A service dog and accompany me?
I did start training another dog when my anxiety was worse, but he got run over.
And I am Aware if ESAs. I was going to register my bird as one because he would snuggle super hard and lick my tears, which is totally distracting from dark thoughts. Though do I NEED a psychiatrist’s note for that, or can a normal doc do it, or can I just put an ESA vest?
A doctors note is only necessary if you intend to fly or rent an apartment. The doctors letter only needs to state your information, your doctors details and a description of why you need to be accompanied by a dog. The information about the animal is not required. It can be a psych or just your family doctor or gp. Mine is from a psychiatrist. There is no legitimate registration or certification for an esa. There are websites that advertise it with a fee but stay far away from those. They are not legitimate.
ESAs are not exempt from restaurants or shops with no dog policies. As far as the vest goes, you should only do that if you genuinely need to. You shouldn't just get it a vest so that you can go where ever you want with your pet. There is a lot of controversy around that because taking advantage of the system makes it really difficult for people who genuinely require an esa and even muddies the water for service and medical alert dogs.
if you can’t even keep a dog from getting run over, especially while it is in training, you probably shouldn’t even have a dog, let alone be able to benefit from one working for you as a service. and don’t put a vest on a bird. no.
00zarzu00 Farm dogs often run loose, and that was his main job. He accompanied me while I rode my horse. He got confused on which way the road was while chasing a car and veered the wrong way. It’s been at least 3 years since that happened,
He was a mostly outside dog who was just learning to be an inside dog.
I live in rural Alabama, we HAVE to use dogs to prevent mass loss of livestock.
As for the bird, he never liked things on him and I never had to go anywhere that needed him.
Sadly, he was special needs with respiratory issues and suspected epilepsy. Yes, he practically went to the vet monthly, but he recently passed back in august.
If you wish to know more about how I treat my animals, I have a few videos on my channel, and another channel for Tobi the Aussie Lab Pup, who is my new puppy.
I am also aware that ESAs have no special permission to go anywhere. But he did really help me.
So there are no registrations, certificates, or documents for service or emotional support animals. Those are all scams. And A service dog not YOUR service dog, isn't really a thing. You need a diagnosed disability by a doctor, nothing else worked for your disability and doctors approval for service dog. For ESA, a doctors note and disability like (disabling/severe) anxiety, depression, PTSD, OCD, Biplor, etc.
@@rose87245 So it turns out that I qualify for a service dog according to ADA law. I talked it over with my psychiatrist and she said it was good.
I never knew how much he would help me. I’m looking at getting a job for the first time in my life (other than a bit with a church that ended in disaster). Even if it’s something small, it will be my first job and I’m 21yo.
Can you take your service dog with the e collar on the plane?
Yes. You can even take them through TSA with the ecollar on, but they can pat down the dog if they beep while going through the metal detector. I generally take her through security naked so we can get through faster, but the ecollar is absolutely allowed in security and on the plane
Hi! Ummm, I have so many questions. I watched you “is a SD right for me” and I know (and have known) that it is and that I am documented as legally psychiatrically disables with PTSD. I already have the assurances of my doctor doctor that they would sign off on my certifications. These tasks truly look like they are life saving. How did you go about finding the right trainer for you? Is Bailey adopted? Or did you get her from a breeder? I’m assuming you consulted a professional trainer based on your video and that was also my plan but I’m wondering how much you did on my own? I haven’t gotten my dog yet bc I’m waiting until I’m in a more stable living situation but I have been learning a lot about dog training over the past year as well. This is way too long but basically, how did you finally get bailey? And when did it finally all come together with her being able to perform her tasks bc believe me, I need help w these things
I have severe anxiety and I want to get a service dog because i sometimes self harm, and hyperventilate to the point where I pass out, and I also dissociate when im surrounded by large crowds or have people standing close to me or loud sounds and I crack my knuckles and twist my wrists, and one time I actually broke a finger from it, and therapy doesn’t help, but my dad doesn’t want another dog, and my dog that I have now misbehaves and has trouble paying attention to anything so I don’t know what I should do

Timber Can Not Lie yes my handle is chileitsflora
I have a very odd question that I feel like is dumb but, why do you have to buy special service dogs from service dog breeders? Why can’t it be possible to train any puppy?
This is a great question! Not every dog/puppy can be trained to be a service dog because it requires specific temperment/characteristics. For example, some dogs are naturally too protective or easily startled for service dog work and can cause disruptions in public due to growling or barking. Another example is dogs without sufficient drive or interest in their handler, so they don't task consistently. A service dog also needs to be healthy to work ethically, so some dogs wouldn't be trained due to underlying health issues. Some breeds, based on their breed standard, are more likely to have a temperment that will lead to more successful service work, like labs, Goldens, poodles, and smooth/rough collies. All ethical Breeders should breed for healthier and tempermentally stable dogs, and breeders can also specifically breed for temperments for service work to increase the chances of dogs being successful in being trained. It is not a requirement to buy from a service dog breeder, but it can greatly increase success rates and reduce training difficulties. My first service dog Bailey did not come from a breeder, but my second SD Dimitri did and the training process for Dimitri was a lot easier because we did not need to work through undesirable behavior or temperment issues.
Thanks!
Did you train her yourself?
I was just wondering if i qualify for a service dog? I have real bad Anxiety,depression and I was diagnosed with BPD 4 years ago..
almost anyone can benefit from an SD!! any way you can train your dog to perform a tadk to help you. as shown in this video, if you scratch when you're anxious, a dog could help! I've also seen dogs assist when an owner spaces out, there are dogs that are trained to smell the hormone before you have a panic attack, etc. I'm sure you qualify!! the ADA website also shares :)
You need to be legally disabled, meds and everything else didn't work and doctors approval 🙃
@@rose87245 it's not required to go through all meds etc before getting a service animal. You do need drs approval and to have specific tasks the SD provides for you.
@@elizibethsmith7830 ya just saying sds should be last resort
@@rose87245 They don't have to be, because finding the right medication can be a long exhaustive process. Why if a SD could provide that support and in turn up quality of life would you want to wait three to five years or more before doing something that works?

Is your registered ADA dog ? If so where can I reg my dog ? There are so many adds on line don't know witch to choose from . Two many fakers out there .
Thanks Joe
Hi ik its been a couple months but I wanted to let you know that all registries/certificates are a scam in the USA and not needed
👍🦮
Its hard when you have a small dog 😔😫😫😫😫😫 Bigger dogs definitely make better psychiatric dogs
Which breed is she?
** has to look at a list to see her "symptoms" ***
what?
8:45 if you are really about to faint and are barely stable enough to stand, that takedown is going to push you to the ground and force you to hit your head, really hard. obviously when you are training, you are stable enough to sit first and gradually lie yourself down, but it wouldn't be the case in a real scenario. just look at how much neck strength it takes you to slowly rest your head after lying down. that's really not a safe task and you should retrain her to nudge or paw you. please don't go around making educational videos before educating yourself on these things. this could seriously put others who faint in danger
This task was specifically trained for my needs and symptoms, so she knows when she should and shouldn't respond that way. This task works great for us and has been used safely many times in real life situations (not just simulated or training situations like the video shows). You're totally right that people should consider all the factors before training a task like that, since what works for me might not work for other people. I never said that this was for everyone, just that this is how she is trained to respond to my episodes. And her response makes it considerably safer for me. I'm glad you commented this so other people can consider how their task work may differ based on how their symptom differ too! But for us, this works wonderfully.
Get a life troll
Too much talking.., sorry
You should NEVER have a static correction collar on a REAL service dog. Your video causes problems for Real service animals and people who are truly disabled
Are you on the right video? 😂😂😂
Um says what law? Some dogs due to the needs of their handler can't wear leashes but are still required to be "restrained" when in public per county/state leash laws. An ecollar allows for this.
@@odinsraven1584 slay queen
Did you train her yourself?
I trained all of her task work by myself, but we used a professional trainer to polish her public access skills.
