This, AND thank you all in the service partner community for sharing resources, despite misuse by some. I’m in the pre-training for service part of raising my service dog and I’m reading and watching a lot to learn what to expect and begin to help my pup avoid unwanted behaviors before they’re habits.
Oh my goodness yes, this is amazing! Free resources for SD or AD handlers are in scarcity, this is gonna be so helpful for so many handlers. Watching with keen interest as I train my second SD.
Just wanted to say that you inspire me to become a dog trainer, and to work hard with my dog. Thank you for being amazing!!! You deserve way more subscribers than you have.
Awe thanks! I am happy with the subscribers I have, too many and you receive more personal attacks and bulling so this is a good amount for me, I can help the people that really search for the info.
Love how your tutorials all ways put the welfare of the dogs first. Always breaking the steps into bite size pieces with easy explanations & demonstrations making it much easier to remember and replicate at home regardless of experience. Thanks to your tutorials I Have a very close bond with my dog. Being a cavalier is naturally esspesally welcoming of fuss & pamper. Very much Looking forward to this series. So very excited indeed. Absolutely loving your channel & all what you do. Thank you so much.
I am currently training my Rottweiler at home and this series has helped us so much. My Luna came from a shelter and is a year and a half, but she's been very tuned in to my anxiety since we adopted her 2 months ago. She's already picked up on a few of my nervous habits and has already learned to distract me and redirect my attention with surprising consistency. Her focus out in public is our little hurdle atm but she is coming along nicely thanks to you!
Someone grabbed my service dog's tail while we were standing in a checkout line at a grocery store... it took a while to work through his hyperviligence that resulted from that scare. This is definitely something that would have better prepared him for it! I'll definitely do these exercises with my next one.
I am so glad you are doing this series. My dog freaks out when people approach try to pet her or I try to hand the leash over. This is exactly what I needed to help her. Thank you.
Would love to hear more of your input about dealing with other people while training a SD! It's one of my biggest stressors when it comes to dog training in general. Hearing horror stories from SD handlers will help me prepare my dog for those situations, but I really wish somebody would train ME for them!
This is such a tricky topic to approach and I'm so so excited to see someone so skilled and positive giving it a go. This is going to be an invaluable series!!!
Yeah, I don't publicly speak about needing a service dog publicly in the dog community because it always ends in other trainers bulling me. But people have asked for this video and I know it will really help a lot of people and DOGS. Weirdly the most uncomfortable place to go with a service dog where people will give you their piece of mind without asking is a positive reinforcement dog training conference...
Great video Emily. And as usual, I expect to see and hear exactly what you’re explaining. My SD Mason, is approaching retirement and I’m in the process of getting his replacement ready to take over. At times I feel sad that his duties are coming to an end because he really loves his job. I feel also blessed I’ve had him by my side for the past 10 years and he’s almost 12. The new one is a McNab and I chose this particular breed for their desire to work and not be as soft as my border collie, people don’t recognize the breed as quickly as the border thus giving me space needed without them asking to pat him etc. I am looking forward to watching your series on this important topic. Your caring and sharing is beyond a beautiful gift to others. I really can’t see how other trainers or non are anything but thankful there are people such as yourself who keep it about the dog. Thanks Emily
This video is really amazing! The very idea of training a proper, safe, and confident way of greeting people and getting accustomed to being petted is fantastic. Thanks Emily! :-)
Thank you so so much for these videos! My spouse has Multiple Sclerosis and had a service dog that died unexpectedly as a result of a veterinary surgery a few months ago. I adopted a golden puppy and I am so glad I found this! He is doing so well with his training and last week was his first public access and I was amazed at how well he did! Your videos are phenomenal!
Emily, you are saving my life! This is exactly what I need for my boy! He does his job so well, knows what he's meant to do and loves helping me, but he gets so insecure when strangers ambush him! Thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou!!!
Awe. If you can see Halo is very soft and sensitive which makes him so great on picking up slight changes in my behavior. I suggest doing at least 12 at the very minimum sessions with just yourself and other people the dog really really really trusts. Also, I like to think that every dog has a weakness but the weakness always is the reason for one of their super powers. And Ted Turner always says behavior is changeable if you take the time to change it. Also I have to say going through the motions of even having my brother do the invasive stuff in my yard was stressful for me, so it was really great for training me as well. I will go bug him an his girlfriend today to do another round of creepy hoverers, leaners and sneaky touchers.
@@kikopup we do have a couple of collegues in the office that my dog gets super excited about meeting, so I will definitely nag them into helping us with this! He's in training to do similar tasks to a guide dog (as I am visually impaired/legally blind but not fully blind), so I will rarely let him greet strangers while he's working, but teaching him the concept that strange humans are'nt scary, will definitely help! I will also be using your tips for vehicle training when we're using public transport! My dog is very goal oriented, so he's usually mentally ten steps ahead when we're getting off the bus! lol
Finally, a series that's geared towards SD public access training. Task training has been mastered, but we have behaviors to work on before my SDiT is ready for PA.
Thank you! I don't have a service dog but my dog is nervous meeting new people that just come up to pet him, I would love to give him the option to greet people on his own accord, so we will definitely be practicing this!
I used to train on the military base with my father that was a lieutenant and his passion was dogs especially canine GSD dogs… I work with them from the time I was six years old to in my 20s… However that’s been many years I am now going on 70… I used to train service dogs… But I forgot… I am all over the place seeking help. I’m on a fixed income & Have to rely on my own resources that barely pays my rent. I was gifted with this pure bred GSD beautiful & smart puppy.. so thank you so very much for being on here and helping… I go through a lot of trainers.. that waste time, I love your training and getting straight to the point and giving examples because I am a visual person. So far you have been the best I pray that I don’t lose you but when you say stroll to the bottom for video or this or that I’m not seeing that on my screen. I recently through the Pandemic lost my 33-year-old daughter, my 17-year-old son, my best Childhood/Sister friend since 12 years old that brought me to San Diego. I was completely alone until I got gifted my love of my life.. “TYSON” Since my losses I have became disabled.. With anxiety, depression etc. I believe that God had brought Tyson to me not for me to train him well.. ( To become my (SERVICE DOG) But we rescued one another 💙💝 And my memory is not the same, my cognitive thinking… I can’t follow through I find you as a good trainer… I come to RUclips and can’t find you again!!! 💔. I pray that I don’t lose you because you’re the best!!! Sincerely, Darleen Yépez Fallbrook, Cali. darleenyepez8@gmail.com
This series is so extremely helpful. My future service dog is likely to be a Japanese Akita, and they can be known to be a bit wary of strange people. It's good to hear these tips to prepare for desensitizing him to random people trying to pet/make noises at him
Thank you so much for this series! I am still working on training with my Border-Aussie for public outings so we can take the Access test. I've had a very hard time finding any service dog oriented trainers near us to work with though. I was a little nervous about training my own dog, because it seems more looked down on, but this has made me feel much more confident in what we have accomplished and need yo work on. Thank you!!
thank you for taking the time to do this, it's stuff i haven't considered before! it'll definitely reduce my anxiety in public spaces to have a plan! also i realized my trainer started introducing this idea of ignoring/being proofed to unexpected touching when she introduced a stand command (he plants his feet and holds his position). i should have worked on that more since she introduced it, but i'll be seeing them again soon !
12k views but only like 400 thumbs up? Wtf? I don't have the focus to finish this video right now but will defo be coming back to it and I gave it a thumbs up :) GIVE IT A THUMBS UP, PEOPLE!!!! This is a brilliant video for people who are owner training their own service dog ^_^
Awe sometimes people just lurk or dont have a yt account. But of course I do appreciate the comments and interactions because it means more people see the videos which is reinforcing.
Awsome you are doing this!!! I just completed the theory part of a course on training diabetes alert dogs here in Italy (not yet completely accented by the health system). This series will be super useful to me and I'll share it with the group.
@@kikopup because of covid they had to do it online but the final exam and the practical part now is in person. It's called "progetto serena ONLUS" and they have a Facebook page. They also continue training their members, last workshop was about dog olfaction and brain science by a university professor. And they started training covid detection dogs in cooperation with a university if I'm not mistaken. And as they do all of it positively I'm really glad to have taken the course.
Hehe! Here is a link to a compilation of 3 hours of puppy training tutorials I have made on youtube into a playlist - ruclips.net/video/4dbzPoB7AKk/видео.html
I just saw a video about food and over excited puppies, 12yrs old!! And this video is 1 day earlier.. you have been on RUclips for 14 yrs, going strong!! Instant subscription💕 PS: i have adopted a 2 month yellow Labrador, as first pet, hope to lean a lot from here.. Thanks🙂
Hehe yeah I started on youtube just after it started. Here is a link to a compilation of 3 hours of puppy training tutorials - ruclips.net/video/4dbzPoB7AKk/видео.html
I have an ESA, and she’s allowed at my school so I want to work more on getting her confident and calm around others. She’s a little nervous but not aggressive at all.
Thank you for this!!! My dog can’t alert me to seizures but I want to train him to get help in case we’re in public and I have a seizure when I’m alone. I can’t have an official alert dog because I already have two dogs and 3 would be too much for me. This series might save my life!!
I'm really looking forward to this series! Any tips on how to stop people from petting my little dog? She is very friendly and loves to get petted by anyone. She strains to get over to them and she stands up on her hind legs and "waves" at them with her front paws (so it's pretty apparent she wants to get petted). People just go "Ahhh" and come over and pet her and she jumps up on them. When I say something about that, they say "I don't mind". But I mind. I'd love to have the problem that she cares more about me! For her, petting is higher value than any treat.
You can practice teaching the greeting as a behavior like in this video, but train when the dog is bored of the person at first and gradually increase the excitement of the greeting as the dog succeeds and repeat and repeat. You wont see any amazing results unless you really do at least 12 set ups with this exercise. You can also teach your dog a cue "leave it" from people like in this video ruclips.net/video/6jYfKK17ZBs/видео.html. You can then say to the person "maybe next time" that always seems to work for me because it wasnt as rejecting as "NO!" or just say to your dog "leave it" loud enough that they can hear as you walk away without talking to the person.
I'm teaching my dog he needs to look me in the eye and "ask for permission". I only give him permission 60% - 40% of the time. I'm also teaching him to put his body length between me and another person, facing me. This training in and of itself has done a lot to help him understand stepping out in front of me does not necessarily mean going to greet the other person.
I got a leash wrap in bright pink w neon baby blue letters w stop signs and the words NO TALK NO PET from ETSY...thedogdaysofmaxx is the shop I used...it comes in this week so w everything else being black they can't miss it so no excuses since they ignore her patches on her harness 🤨
thank you for this video!! i’m getting ready to bring my sd prospect puppy home and a lot of the videos i’ve seen on training aren’t as easy to digest!!!
Thank you for going to help me. How to train my service up for me? I have idiot and autism and I have. We are depression and anxiety. So I'm going to learn your videos so I can train my service dog. Thank you so much for what you're doing.
I'm getting a Border collie puppy in 5 weeks named hero who I am going to be training both by myself and with a professional trainer and so I have been finding every video I can to do it right. I have a long line of mental health issues including CPTSD (complex post traumatic stress disorder) DID (Disassociative identity disorder, aka multiple personality disorder) adhd, borderline personality disorder and so many more. I can't wait to meet my Hero and best friend I've waited my whole life to finally have money for a SD thank you so much for this video I know it will help me on Hero's journey. He will be 8 weeks old when I get him. Thank you ^-^
This is a great resource, exactly what I’ve been looking for so Thankyou and I look forward to more. Also, I love your hands free leash, I have been searching for a leash that allows my hands free to control my wheelchair and also treat my dog, brilliant. I have followed kikopup for ages, keep up the great videos. xx
Hellooooo! Amazing video! I have a question. My dog Rex (not a service dog) sometimes barks to people when they talk or make sounds while staring at him. And i would love to have him off leash when allowed of course but I'm afraid he might charge when someone talks to him. He is a rescue dog and he used to be very nervous but with positive reinforcement and a lot of training we have overcome many things. Is there a way to help him be more confident around people?
Its best to get a trainer to help you so you can have lots of decoy people to work with. But basically its the same training as in this video where you would use people your dog knows first to do the training with then gradually move to strangers in a controlled environment. And when out and about keep the dog on a leash otherwise your dog could startle and it could set back the training.
@@kikopup Thank you so much for the information. Unfortunately i am an university student so i am not able to afford a dog trainer and that is why i try to train Rex on my own
@@ilianarex3918 That is hard. Its great to have someone to trust to pretend to be a stranger. Here is my protocol for doing training set ups with other people and dogs dogmantics.com/protocol-for-emotional-and-behavioral-modification/
I have this leash attached to a balance harness that has a clip at the front www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07B42H3V1/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Ive ony just found you. Fab videos, thank you! Can i ask what lead your using please, i need one simular. Do you have a video to train a dog to sit close front, placing his nose on your legs please. Thank you x
Hi, I am just watching your videos because I am going to be a puppy minder for a guide dog puppy so I want to refresh my puppy training skills. I was watching your video and noticed the cross body leash you are using (when you are getting the dog out of the back of the car and doing some of the stay by my side training. I saw that and realized I have a leash like that and never thought of using it as cross body. I am not even sure where I got this leash. So I have a question. I see you have the main portion of the leash cross body and the dog collar attached to the end. But there is another ring on the leash and it looks like you are using that somehow. Could you do a quick video or explanation of how you attach the leash. Or if you have that in another video, let me know where I might find that. Thanks.
I have this leash attached to a balance harness that has a clip at the front www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07B42H3V1/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Looking at the image of the leash should make sense how it clips
Hi, I am training a service dog border collie. When picking out puppy she fit all criteria. She alerted me when I have seizures. Have trainer teaching me. My border collie does all commands excellent. She 1 year 7 months. When entering store now her stress level goes up. She wasn't like that always. When she was attacked in class by a huge dog at 10 months she started to be stressed when in stores. How can I help her calm down in stores? Thank you. Love your programs.
Thank you so much for all these service dog vids. I'm working with my boy, my first sdit in over 10 years. These are exactly what I need to get his behaviour and tasks from good to great. Any hints on mobility tasks? Like momentum pull, counterbalance, ect? I'm having an issue with training him to brace me (press against my leg) when dizzy or a pain flare strikes. Hes been medically cleared to do the tasks, but I cant figure out how to get him to put pressure on my thigh (whichever side I cue him to). He also wont hold an item, will hold his toys, but not items I tell him to take. Gives things on command no issue, even drops when across the room, but wont carry things like my med bag, or his harness/leash even 1 foot away. Any hints?
@@kikopup thank you. You mean that this ability relies on the dog being reinforced relaxed? I tried to ask if this specific training also causes tiredness or its not.. thanks for the answer!
Thank you so much for this video. At 30:39 you mentioned head position and I can’t get my dog to walk with her head up. She is either looking straight at my face or her nose is on the ground with no in between. Do you have any ideas for how I could trouble shoot this?
I'm thinking of taking my puppy to doggy day care as an extra way to socialise him with other dogs, would you recommend this? or is it not a good place to socialise? (also how old do you think they need to be to start doggy day care?
I personally wouldn't unless you really really know the place and that they manage the puppies so they are not getting overly stressed or bullied or use punishment while in their care. THere is a great day care here in San Diego where everything is done carefully but then there are other day cares here where sometimes the dogs who go end up with tendencies to be reactive or aggressive.
I suggest for a large breed puppy focusing on walking on a loose leash, starting with the leash pressure game- ruclips.net/video/iKG89GVOJiM/видео.html Leave it followed by Counter surfing - ruclips.net/video/7omuDOadL04/видео.html They are going to be able to reach so much in your house. And socialization to be calm and relaxed around dogs and people - ruclips.net/video/HCNcq7KYANc/видео.html
"this does not condone using this training for fake service dogs" *me sweating watching this video to get new training perspectives because i have a client who wants his dog service level calm in public* "-to bring in places service dogs are not allowed" Oh good i was going to feel really bad for a second haha. Also, I need to streamline the process. I can do it over time, but I usually work with abuse and aggression, not "poodle pup who wants to sniff strangers" Also I'm So hard on people with this. At the bookstore I'm quitting we get dogs. I saw a dog come in. went "OOOOHHH cuttteeeeee" Very quietly. The owner said "this is my ES animal" Which is fine, we don't have a rule, it's all used books. She was calm, quiet, she was focused on her owner half the time and kept her sniffing to what was within nose reach, didn't touch anything, heeled well, ignored strangers, listened instantly, clearly she didn't have a "job" job, but she was trained to do what was needed. A good girl. But the same dang day a guy came in with the CHEAPEST, FAKEST looking vest, like someone who'd never seen a SA vest made it from a description. Dog jumped on my counter, pulled the dude around, ignored him. BRO WTF.
Do you still have lives, and subscription service? I have an 8 month Australian Shepard, that is super friendly, loving, super hyperactive, easily distracted by people or animals in a friendly way. I have multiple physical disabilities, such as Lupus, COPD, chronic pain, falls, PTSD, therefore caused Major Depressive Disorder. I’m looking forward.
I just have the youtube membership but its not for service dog training, I do have this free service dog training playlist though - ruclips.net/video/_yKG2Ht1FlA/видео.html
THANK YOU. I AM DISSABLED AND CANNOT AFFORD PROFFESSIONAL TRAINER. SO THANK YOU. I HAVE A QUESTION I DO NOT WANT PUBLIC. CAN I ASK ON ANOTHER PLATFORM MAYBE?
I do not have a service dog, nor do I need one, I do want my dogs to be as calm as an SD, but I will not bring them places they do not belong. I would like my dogs to be calmer and more accepting of people.
This is so hard when my dog jumps out of the car he doesn't care about treats even inside the car he knows he's about to go somewhere so he doesn't settle
I'm training a dog for my daughter who has non verbal autism. The dog is doing so awesome but my daughter wants to take the belt of and run. She will hold on to the harness and it has helped so much but where can I get help with teaching my daughter not to take off the belt to run?
A year later I'm back to finish watching lmao My dog is a nightmare with people petting him now xuz so many people pet him even when I make it clear he's working and they should leave him alone. Although there's someone who works at the clinic I go to who lives my dog sooooo much that I've literally just started taking his vest off to go on there so she can play with him 🤣 I hate when random people interfere with him though, I often get people trying to get his attention and I loudly tell him to sit and stay, repeatedly sometimes as a hint to the other person, but they keep trying to call him over 0_o
Do Australian Shepherds make good PSDs? I’m researching for my first one, to owner train, and I love Aussies, with many good long term experiences with them. But I read some conflicting stuff.
With any breed there is the service dog type in the breed and the one that is inappropriate. Even sd breeding programs have a 50% pass rate. Its all about picking the happy go lucky bomb proof personality, not so much the breed. For an aussie, you want to pick one that doesnt get frustrated easily in training and work, that has no reactivity fear or over excitement toward people dogs and things and is not anxious or over excitable in new locations.
I go to college and at least seven people tried to touch my dog just today. I reach my hand out towards the human before they get close and say verbally for them not to touch my dog. Some will bully me or make noises at her while she’s working… Is there a way I could handle this better that would be more beneficial to my dog and also so people don’t feel like I’m being rude? I understand that people just get excited and some people don’t know but it really bugs me when I ask them to leave her alone and they keep staring, making kissing sounds, or trying to touch her when I’m not looking.
It really depends on your dog and your situation. For example you could work on your dog's tasks right away, and work on public access training in places dogs are allowed beginning at home and the yard and parks etc that are easy for the dog and socializing to people and dogs and sights and sounds.
How can you teach you dog to stay calmly in the backseat of the car. He tries to go to the front to get attention but since he's training as a service dog I need him to be in the back while I'm driving
Are service dogs in training allowed public access rights? In Ohio? Do you think they would be so that they can be trained on public access? They need to train in public
This french toast recipe reminds me of the recent TikTok trend where people thought they had discovered an amazing recipe by pouring soda over ice cream. WHOA...they should call it an ICE CREAM FLOAT!! The first ice float was invented and served in 1874, sorry TikTokers.
Some dogs are very reactive or sensitive for a variety of reasons! I had a dog with bad arthritis and he was very reactive to people approaching his hind end with their hands because he expected pain.
Tween: "between" me and another Here's a bit of training Phoenix🐕🦺 and I have been working on for a while. I think it goes hand in hand with your publication today: ruclips.net/video/SQBHx3SDOAk/видео.html
@@kikopup If I could figure out how to accomplish it I would like Phoenix 🐕🦺 to continue to step between me and another even if they were attempting to try to walk around him/closer to me. I would like him to maintain the perimeter and move his butt as the other person would take steps. I've watched your trick training videos and I think you might be just the person to help me figure out how to accomplish this goal.
My service dog is still training and is about a little over year old. In restaurants if someone approaches us and ignores all his signs on his vest still talk or try to touch he freaks out and wants to make sure I’m okay

I am currently training my Rottweiler at home and this series has helped us so much. My Luna came from a shelter and is a year and a half, but she's been very tuned in to my anxiety since we adopted her 2 months ago.

Her focus out in public is our little hurdle atm but she is coming along nicely thanks to you!
Service Rotties for the win!!!
I love the set ups with people touching from behind. That's so useful, as most dogs are going to be surprised by that intrusion.
Someone grabbed my service dog's tail while we were standing in a checkout line at a grocery store... it took a while to work through his hyperviligence that resulted from that scare.
This is definitely something that would have better prepared him for it!

I will also be using your tips for vehicle training when we're using public transport! My dog is very goal oriented, so he's usually mentally ten steps ahead when we're getting off the bus! lol
Finally, a series that's geared towards SD public access training. Task training has been mastered, but we have behaviors to work on before my SDiT is ready for PA.
Yay! Heres a playlist of all my videos that could apply to service dog training ruclips.net/p/PLXtcKXk-QWogf3XIaspGvZcHlXuS8rs9Z
Thanks for sharing these very helpful tips 🙂
Thank you! I don't have a service dog but my dog is nervous meeting new people that just come up to pet him, I would love to give him the option to greet people on his own accord, so we will definitely be practicing this!
Now if we could only train the people 😆
I used to train on the military base with my father that was a lieutenant and his passion was dogs especially canine GSD dogs… I work with them from the time I was six years old to in my 20s… However that’s been many years I am now going on 70… I used to train service dogs… But I forgot… I am all over the place seeking help. I’m on a fixed income & Have to rely on my own resources that barely pays my rent. I was gifted with this pure bred GSD beautiful & smart puppy.. so thank you so very much for being on here and helping… I go through a lot of trainers.. that waste time, I love your training and getting straight to the point and giving examples because I am a visual person. So far you have been the best I pray that I don’t lose you but when you say stroll to the bottom for video or this or that I’m not seeing that on my screen. I recently through the Pandemic lost my 33-year-old daughter, my 17-year-old son, my best Childhood/Sister friend since 12 years old that brought me to San Diego. I was completely alone until I got gifted my love of my life.. “TYSON” Since my losses I have became disabled.. With anxiety, depression etc.
I believe that God had brought Tyson to me not for me to train him well.. ( To become my (SERVICE DOG)
But we rescued one another 💙💝
And my memory is not the same, my cognitive thinking… I can’t follow through I find you as a good trainer… I come to RUclips and can’t find you again!!! 💔. I pray that I don’t lose you because you’re the best!!!
Sincerely,

I'm so sorry for your many losses! Know that you are loved!❤
first! love your videos! cant wait to watch it!
Awe thanks for the comment! It means a lot to me! It means more people will see this video because of it!
This series is so extremely helpful. My future service dog is likely to be a Japanese Akita, and they can be known to be a bit wary of strange people. It's good to hear these tips to prepare for desensitizing him to random people trying to pet/make noises at him
I love this video! Thank you for making this! 🙏🏼 I can’t wait for more of the series
Thank you so much for this series! I am still working on training with my Border-Aussie for public outings so we can take the Access test. I've had a very hard time finding any service dog oriented trainers near us to work with though. I was a little nervous about training my own dog, because it seems more looked down on, but this has made me feel much more confident in what we have accomplished and need yo work on. Thank you!!
Yes it’s hard to find a trainer who uses positive methods
thank you for taking the time to do this, it's stuff i haven't considered before! it'll definitely reduce my anxiety in public spaces to have a plan! also i realized my trainer started introducing this idea of ignoring/being proofed to unexpected touching when she introduced a stand command (he plants his feet and holds his position). i should have worked on that more since she introduced it, but i'll be seeing them again soon !
Oh yeah, handling is always good to go back and do brush up training :)
Great tips and I like that you covered safety in public spaces!
12k views but only like 400 thumbs up? Wtf?
I don't have the focus to finish this video right now but will defo be coming back to it and I gave it a thumbs up :)
GIVE IT A THUMBS UP, PEOPLE!!!!
This is a brilliant video for people who are owner training their own service dog ^_^
Awe sometimes people just lurk or dont have a yt account. But of course I do appreciate the comments and interactions because it means more people see the videos which is reinforcing.
@@kikopup ❤❤❤
Thank you Emily, I am training my one dog to be a Touch dog and these exercises will help us when we go to places he will service.
I'm so excited for this series!
Thank you for your time and expertise 🥰
Thanks for taking the time to comment!
Awsome you are doing this!!! I just completed the theory part of a course on training diabetes alert dogs here in Italy (not yet completely accented by the health system). This series will be super useful to me and I'll share it with the group.
That is so cool! Was it online and in Italian or was it in person?
@@kikopup because of covid they had to do it online but the final exam and the practical part now is in person. It's called "progetto serena ONLUS" and they have a Facebook page. They also continue training their members, last workshop was about dog olfaction and brain science by a university professor. And they started training covid detection dogs in cooperation with a university if I'm not mistaken. And as they do all of it positively I'm really glad to have taken the course.
@@kikopup and yes, it was in Italian but if you'd like to get in contact with them I'd be more than happy to translate in case it's necessary 😉
This is glorious. My 14 week rottie pup is delighted, he just doesn't know it yet.
Hehe! Here is a link to a compilation of 3 hours of puppy training tutorials I have made on youtube into a playlist - ruclips.net/video/4dbzPoB7AKk/видео.html

@@kikopup thank you so much!!♥️
I often get stressed with someone trying to interact with my dog
Thank you very much for the video
I have an ESA, and she’s allowed at my school so I want to work more on getting her confident and calm around others. She’s a little nervous but not aggressive at all.
Thank you for this!!! My dog can’t alert me to seizures but I want to train him to get help in case we’re in public and I have a seizure when I’m alone. I can’t have an official alert dog because I already have two dogs and 3 would be too much for me. This series might save my life!!
Dogs can learn to alert to oncoming seizures.They are excellent at it. Anything to do with scenting usually comes pretty easily to them
Great stuff! I despise the stealth pet from behind, probably more than my SD ever did!
Haha. Yeah me too.
I'm really looking forward to this series! Any tips on how to stop people from petting my little dog? She is very friendly and loves to get petted by anyone. She strains to get over to them and she stands up on her hind legs and "waves" at them with her front paws (so it's pretty apparent she wants to get petted). People just go "Ahhh" and come over and pet her and she jumps up on them. When I say something about that, they say "I don't mind". But I mind. I'd love to have the problem that she cares more about me! For her, petting is higher value than any treat.
You can practice teaching the greeting as a behavior like in this video, but train when the dog is bored of the person at first and gradually increase the excitement of the greeting as the dog succeeds and repeat and repeat. You wont see any amazing results unless you really do at least 12 set ups with this exercise. You can also teach your dog a cue "leave it" from people like in this video ruclips.net/video/6jYfKK17ZBs/видео.html. You can then say to the person "maybe next time" that always seems to work for me because it wasnt as rejecting as "NO!" or just say to your dog "leave it" loud enough that they can hear as you walk away without talking to the person.
I'm teaching my dog he needs to look me in the eye and "ask for permission".
I only give him permission 60% - 40% of the time.
I'm also teaching him to put his body length between me and another person, facing me. This training in and of itself has done a lot to help him understand stepping out in front of me does not necessarily mean going to greet the other person.
I got a leash wrap in bright pink w neon baby blue letters w stop signs and the words NO TALK NO PET from ETSY...thedogdaysofmaxx is the shop I used...it comes in this week so w everything else being black they can't miss it so no excuses since they ignore her patches on her harness 🤨
I enjoyed this video. We will be training a service dog for our 5 year old son so this was very insightful.
This was so so helpful. I can’t thank you enough!
Awe you are welcome!!!!
This was very helpful!! Thank you
Oh good! I am glad it was helpful!
thank you for this video!! i’m getting ready to bring my sd prospect puppy home and a lot of the videos i’ve seen on training aren’t as easy to digest!!!
Oh congrats on your puppy!
@@kikopup thank you!
Thank you for going to help me. How to train my service up for me? I have idiot and autism and I have. We are depression and anxiety. So I'm going to learn your videos so I can train my service dog. Thank you so much for what you're doing.
Thank you for this! I’m really hoping I can train up my pup enough that I won’t have to rely on medicine
I'm getting a Border collie puppy in 5 weeks named hero who I am going to be training both by myself and with a professional trainer and so I have been finding every video I can to do it right. I have a long line of mental health issues including CPTSD (complex post traumatic stress disorder) DID (Disassociative identity disorder, aka multiple personality disorder) adhd, borderline personality disorder and so many more. I can't wait to meet my Hero and best friend I've waited my whole life to finally have money for a SD thank you so much for this video I know it will help me on Hero's journey. He will be 8 weeks old when I get him. Thank you ^-^
Thank you discouraging people from using training information to help them bring their pets and ESA’s
I love this video❤️ thank you so much!!
This is a great resource, exactly what I’ve been looking for so Thankyou and I look forward to more. Also, I love your hands free leash, I have been searching for a leash that allows my hands free to control my wheelchair and also treat my dog, brilliant. I have followed kikopup for ages, keep up the great videos. xx
Thanks for taking the time to let me know! I appreciate it!
Hellooooo! Amazing video! I have a question. My dog Rex (not a service dog) sometimes barks to people when they talk or make sounds while staring at him. And i would love to have him off leash when allowed of course but I'm afraid he might charge when someone talks to him. He is a rescue dog and he used to be very nervous but with positive reinforcement and a lot of training we have overcome many things. Is there a way to help him be more confident around people?
Its best to get a trainer to help you so you can have lots of decoy people to work with. But basically its the same training as in this video where you would use people your dog knows first to do the training with then gradually move to strangers in a controlled environment. And when out and about keep the dog on a leash otherwise your dog could startle and it could set back the training.
@@kikopup Thank you so much for the information. Unfortunately i am an university student so i am not able to afford a dog trainer and that is why i try to train Rex on my own
@@ilianarex3918 That is hard. Its great to have someone to trust to pretend to be a stranger. Here is my protocol for doing training set ups with other people and dogs dogmantics.com/protocol-for-emotional-and-behavioral-modification/
What lead do you use and where can I get one from. Great videos
I have this leash attached to a balance harness that has a clip at the front www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07B42H3V1/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Ive ony just found you. Fab videos, thank you!
Can i ask what lead your using please, i need one simular.
Do you have a video to train a dog to sit close front, placing his nose on your legs please. Thank you x
You could train the tucked sit ruclips.net/video/2avYNs8IWZE/видео.html and then add a chinrest to it, targeting the chin where you want it.
@@kikopup thank you x
Hi, I am just watching your videos because I am going to be a puppy minder for a guide dog puppy so I want to refresh my puppy training skills. I was watching your video and noticed the cross body leash you are using (when you are getting the dog out of the back of the car and doing some of the stay by my side training. I saw that and realized I have a leash like that and never thought of using it as cross body. I am not even sure where I got this leash. So I have a question. I see you have the main portion of the leash cross body and the dog collar attached to the end. But there is another ring on the leash and it looks like you are using that somehow. Could you do a quick video or explanation of how you attach the leash. Or if you have that in another video, let me know where I might find that. Thanks.
I have this leash attached to a balance harness that has a clip at the front www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07B42H3V1/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Looking at the image of the leash should make sense how it clips
Hi, I am training a service dog border collie. When picking out puppy she fit all criteria. She alerted me when I have seizures. Have trainer teaching me. My border collie does all commands excellent. She 1 year 7 months. When entering store now her stress level goes up. She wasn't like that always. When she was attacked in class by a huge dog at 10 months she started to be stressed when in stores. How can I help her calm down in stores? Thank you. Love your programs.
Thank you so much for all these service dog vids.
I'm working with my boy, my first sdit in over 10 years. These are exactly what I need to get his behaviour and tasks from good to great.
Any hints on mobility tasks? Like momentum pull, counterbalance, ect? I'm having an issue with training him to brace me (press against my leg) when dizzy or a pain flare strikes. Hes been medically cleared to do the tasks, but I cant figure out how to get him to put pressure on my thigh (whichever side I cue him to).
He also wont hold an item, will hold his toys, but not items I tell him to take. Gives things on command no issue, even drops when across the room, but wont carry things like my med bag, or his harness/leash even 1 foot away. Any hints?
Great video. Thank-you.
You're the best!
Wow amazing. Question. Is this kind of training based on a high mental stimulation and the dog being tired because of it?
No its about reinforcing the dog for relaxing ruclips.net/video/yr1olzgidMw/видео.html Heres the same dog learning as a puppy
@@kikopup thank you. You mean that this ability relies on the dog being reinforced relaxed? I tried to ask if this specific training also causes tiredness or its not.. thanks for the answer!
hello, do you have any videos on a more focused heel? i havnt been able to find a good one, if not, do you have any recommendations for a heel?
amazing video !
Thank you so much for this video. At 30:39 you mentioned head position and I can’t get my dog to walk with her head up. She is either looking straight at my face or her nose is on the ground with no in between. Do you have any ideas for how I could trouble shoot this?
❤️❤️❤️
Amazing dog it's wonderful and entertaining what do you think my friends😍😍😍
I'm thinking of taking my puppy to doggy day care as an extra way to socialise him with other dogs, would you recommend this? or is it not a good place to socialise? (also how old do you think they need to be to start doggy day care?
I personally wouldn't unless you really really know the place and that they manage the puppies so they are not getting overly stressed or bullied or use punishment while in their care. THere is a great day care here in San Diego where everything is done carefully but then there are other day cares here where sometimes the dogs who go end up with tendencies to be reactive or aggressive.
@@kikopup Thank you!! I'll do my research
Thank you!
You are very welcome!
Loved it thank you 😄
thanks!
I have an 11 week old Great Dane Puppy, is there somewhere you recommend starting?
I suggest for a large breed puppy focusing on walking on a loose leash, starting with the leash pressure game- ruclips.net/video/iKG89GVOJiM/видео.html Leave it followed by Counter surfing - ruclips.net/video/7omuDOadL04/видео.html They are going to be able to reach so much in your house. And socialization to be calm and relaxed around dogs and people - ruclips.net/video/HCNcq7KYANc/видео.html
"this does not condone using this training for fake service dogs"
*me sweating watching this video to get new training perspectives because i have a client who wants his dog service level calm in public*
"-to bring in places service dogs are not allowed"
Oh good i was going to feel really bad for a second haha.
Also, I need to streamline the process. I can do it over time, but I usually work with abuse and aggression, not "poodle pup who wants to sniff strangers"
Also I'm So hard on people with this. At the bookstore I'm quitting we get dogs. I saw a dog come in. went "OOOOHHH cuttteeeeee" Very quietly. The owner said "this is my ES animal" Which is fine, we don't have a rule, it's all used books. She was calm, quiet, she was focused on her owner half the time and kept her sniffing to what was within nose reach, didn't touch anything, heeled well, ignored strangers, listened instantly, clearly she didn't have a "job" job, but she was trained to do what was needed. A good girl.
But the same dang day a guy came in with the CHEAPEST, FAKEST looking vest, like someone who'd never seen a SA vest made it from a description. Dog jumped on my counter, pulled the dude around, ignored him. BRO WTF.
I had a kid throw something at my dog in spirit Halloween she didn't even flinch but I was so mad!!
Thank you for this.
Do you still have lives, and subscription service? I have an 8 month Australian Shepard, that is super friendly, loving, super hyperactive, easily distracted by people or animals in a friendly way. I have multiple physical disabilities, such as Lupus, COPD, chronic pain, falls, PTSD, therefore caused Major Depressive Disorder. I’m looking forward.
I just have the youtube membership but its not for service dog training, I do have this free service dog training playlist though - ruclips.net/video/_yKG2Ht1FlA/видео.html
@@kikopup thanks 💜🦋💜
THANK YOU. I AM DISSABLED AND CANNOT AFFORD PROFFESSIONAL TRAINER. SO THANK YOU. I HAVE A QUESTION I DO NOT WANT PUBLIC. CAN I ASK ON ANOTHER PLATFORM MAYBE?
I do not have a service dog, nor do I need one, I do want my dogs to be as calm as an SD, but I will not bring them places they do not belong. I would like my dogs to be calmer and more accepting of people.
I can’t Thank You enough
If a person is barking at a dog it is the person who needs working on not the dog..
True, but its like every parent says "what do dogs say?" and so the kids learn to say "woof" or bark, and then they bark when they see dogs...
This is so hard when my dog jumps out of the car he doesn't care about treats even inside the car he knows he's about to go somewhere so he doesn't settle
I'm training a dog for my daughter who has non verbal autism. The dog is doing so awesome but my daughter wants to take the belt of and run. She will hold on to the harness and it has helped so much but where can I get help with teaching my daughter not to take off the belt to run?
A year later I'm back to finish watching lmao
My dog is a nightmare with people petting him now xuz so many people pet him even when I make it clear he's working and they should leave him alone. Although there's someone who works at the clinic I go to who lives my dog sooooo much that I've literally just started taking his vest off to go on there so she can play with him 🤣
I hate when random people interfere with him though, I often get people trying to get his attention and I loudly tell him to sit and stay, repeatedly sometimes as a hint to the other person, but they keep trying to call him over 0_o
You are a genius!
Do Australian Shepherds make good PSDs? I’m researching for my first one, to owner train, and I love Aussies, with many good long term experiences with them. But I read some conflicting stuff.
With any breed there is the service dog type in the breed and the one that is inappropriate. Even sd breeding programs have a 50% pass rate. Its all about picking the happy go lucky bomb proof personality, not so much the breed. For an aussie, you want to pick one that doesnt get frustrated easily in training and work, that has no reactivity fear or over excitement toward people dogs and things and is not anxious or over excitable in new locations.
I go to college and at least seven people tried to touch my dog just today. I reach my hand out towards the human before they get close and say verbally for them not to touch my dog. Some will bully me or make noises at her while she’s working… Is there a way I could handle this better that would be more beneficial to my dog and also so people don’t feel like I’m being rude? I understand that people just get excited and some people don’t know but it really bugs me when I ask them to leave her alone and they keep staring, making kissing sounds, or trying to touch her when I’m not looking.
You have a dog named splash? I did too but she died from cancer in November.
at what age do I start the service dog training vs the regular training?
It really depends on your dog and your situation. For example you could work on your dog's tasks right away, and work on public access training in places dogs are allowed beginning at home and the yard and parks etc that are easy for the dog and socializing to people and dogs and sights and sounds.
The problem is that I can't reinforce my dog when he's released from the car cause he doesn't care, he just wants to sniff around
How can you teach you dog to stay calmly in the backseat of the car. He tries to go to the front to get attention but since he's training as a service dog I need him to be in the back while I'm driving
Are service dogs in training allowed public access rights? In Ohio? Do you think they would be so that they can be trained on public access? They need to train in public
So what is the concept of training fake service dog? I have a working dog and I'm eligible to have a service dog. Am I training a fake service dog?
This french toast recipe reminds me of the recent TikTok trend where people thought they had discovered an amazing recipe by pouring soda over ice cream. WHOA...they should call it an ICE CREAM FLOAT!! The first ice float was invented and served in 1874, sorry TikTokers.
Not trying to be mean spirited by no means but how many people cannot touch their own dog?
Some dogs are very reactive or sensitive for a variety of reasons! I had a dog with bad arthritis and he was very reactive to people approaching his hind end with their hands because he expected pain.
I had a kid throw something at my dog in a store parent didn't do anything... Dog didn't flinch. Me.. mad.
Tween: "between" me and another
Here's a bit of training Phoenix🐕🦺 and I have been working on for a while. I think it goes hand in hand with your publication today:
ruclips.net/video/SQBHx3SDOAk/видео.html
Awe that was great!
@@kikopup
If I could figure out how to accomplish it I would like Phoenix 🐕🦺 to continue to step between me and another even if they were attempting to try to walk around him/closer to me. I would like him to maintain the perimeter and move his butt as the other person would take steps. I've watched your trick training videos and I think you might be just the person to help me figure out how to accomplish this goal.

Thank you
The thought of humans barking at my dog in public is why my dog wears military colors and learned to stand between my legs when I'm annoyed...idiots
Too long intro - 7 min, and lecture. It could be radio for lack of visuals
I suggest watching my Instagram videos instead of my youtube videos
I have a business offer for you. let me know if you are interested...
I am afraid I don't do any sorts of sponsorships of products. I wish you good luck in your endeavors.

I am going to release another service dog video in a bit. :)
My service dog is still training and is about a little over year old. In restaurants if someone approaches us and ignores all his signs on his vest still talk or try to touch he freaks out and wants to make sure I’m okay
He just started sound this
