its so lovely to see what its like having a service dog as my friend has one and I know how much its helped her to get more comfortable with going out into public places
Stacy you're doing such an amazing job with Astro! Seeing how well he did on the elevator was awesome, and makes me look forward to starting my own elevator training! Also I've been wanting to go to my local Hmart for a long time, I think you've inspired to finally go because that food looked amazing! 😍
I love how goofy Astro is, absolutely adorable. I've had my pup Niko for five days and its been a blast. He did not like his crate the first couple days but is slowly getting accustomed to it. He's for the most part got the hang of sit/down and I'm just starting to add stay into the mix. Its so satisfying to see the progress each day.
hi hi! thank ya! Aww that's so exciting! From what I can see, Niko looks adorable as ever! It's important to work on these foundational skills! Good luck with your training with Niko! 🥰
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! You don't know how much these videos mean! İt really helps! Thank you. İ love seeing how well you and Astro are doing. Have a wonderful day!
Hey there! Love your videos! I have a service dog in training right now and I noticed your treat pouch when you showed his breakfast and scrambled eggs on the field. Can I ask what treat pouch that is? It looks great!
Seems like you’re both adjusting to campus really well. It’s awesome that he’s developing such a good recall in the field and a very good pause and heal during the curves and crossings. It’s also great that he doesn’t seem bothered by the loud sound of vehicles and campus. Any tips on how you told him that when you told him to take a break he was allowed to go in front of you on the leash but not pull is some thing I’m working with my SD
I suggest having a really solid heel. And also a solid break or release cue to signal to your dog the difference. My non service dog heels when told, whenever we are out in public or it is needed on a normal walk, but she also has a solid break cue so that when I don’t want to her to heel anymore so can go ahead of me. So stop pulling I would suggest any of the many methods people have on the internet. I personally used a prong collar and food to help shape a not pulling non heel walk. She would get a verbal warning (ah-ah or no) when she did pull, then if she didn’t respond to that she would get a quick leash pop. This would result in her doubling back to me or slowing her pace. She then would get her marker word (yes) and a treat. Now she has learned the verbal warning and responds only to that. Hope this helps.
Amazing advices! For me, stopping when she pulls helped a lot. If she pulled, I would give her a verbal cue (ah ah), stop walking, and wait until she made the leash loose. First couple times takes forever bc she wondering why we wont continue walking. But these dogs are such smart kids! They get it almost instantly. Hope this helps you! As for non heel loose leash walking vs. strict heel - this training wasn’t intentional, but my SDIT knows that if I hold her leash tight/close to me, we’re working and she is to do a strict heel. If I let go of the tight hold in the leash, she can do whatever she likes except pull on the leash. I think she understands it as two different set of rules. Similar to SD vest training. Like when she has the vest on/leash is held tight, we’re working & stricter set of rules. When she doesn’t have the vest/leash is loose, we’re hanging out. I really hope this helps. Happy training! :)
@@miratraven5755 she does hav a Brake word, so I think I’ll just make a point of ussing it with her on leash and maybe kind of holding it a bit further forward so she knows that means you can step in front of me. Thanks for the advice
Astro is doing amazing, you are doing amazing, I am so excided to see where your journey will take you, I cant wait for your next video i love watching them! your doing amazing as always!! also i wanted to ask if you could do a video on focas drills or how you get astro to focas on you so well because my sdit is having trouble with that.
Hi hi! Thank ya for your kind words! Yeah I can definitely make a video on that. Can you be a bit more specific to want you want to see? Good luck with your training!
@@AstroFromTheBlue I just dont know how to help my sdit focus on me in a busy environment, also i dont know how to get him to now whine on a down stay, ive tried everything i can think of. So just basicly how did you get astro to focus on you? it can be as simple as putting a treat by your face then rewarding, im just really lost 😅
Astro’s ear obsession was hilarious! I have a Q, if or when Astro gets startled or reactive towards skateboards or whatever he might be scared of, how do you calm him down? Brie and I were training in a library, when all of the sudden something spooked her and she started breathing puffs and barking. I wasn’t sure what to do :( i took her outside and asked her to down stay (hoping this would calm her) but when we went back inside, she started barking at the unknown again :( Wondering what you do to help Astro understand that he’s safe!
Amazing videos! Love your videos!! Temple University is an amazing school! I might transfer there! That looks like a nice apartment building! Which one is it? Is it on campus or off campus??
Hi Matt! Thanks for watching our videos!!! Temple is a great school indeed! I'm living off campus, I'm afraid I can't tell you which apartment building I'm currently in, but there are a bunch of off campus apartments available!
I'm currently in grade 12, highschool, and I want to make my morkie a psd (psychiatric service dog) however she's only 6 months right now and I'm not sure how to start training her to get acustomed to a setting where she'll have to be really good. Especially if I live in a dorm.
Hi hi!! She’s still so young but make sure you always work on basic foundational skills with her!! Good luck with your training and make sure to keep me updated :)
@@AstroFromTheBlue for sure I will right now she won't do anything without seeing the food first, I'm trying to teach her to act without seeing her reward but its hard
hi im new to your account i wanted to ask what dose astro do to help you i have a diebetic alert dog what dose he do for you not trying to be rude or anything.

@@AstroFromTheBlue thank goodness! My apologies I was just looking for recommendations!
Can’t believe how good he does in Tuttleman, it’s so busy
He's a good boi 💖
awww, he’s so cute and well trained! how old is he?
Aww thank you! He’s 2 years old!
Astro did so good! Where did you get his leash wraps at?
Thank ya!!! I got the leash wraps from a store on ETSY, I don't remember which one, but If you look it up on Etsy a bunch should pop up!
Where did you get Astro's treat pouch? I have been looking for a good silicone one for my dog.
No I’m late :c BUT THATS OK! IM STILL WATCHING IT NOW ❤
Edit: I hope I’m not pressuring you to post 😅
Oh no, you're not pressuring me to post! Thanks for watching and supporting us! Love seeing ya in the comments! 🥰
He was amazing in class! The university should give him a dogtoral degree!!!

@@AstroFromTheBlue for sure I will right now she won't do anything without seeing the food first, I'm trying to teach her to act without seeing her reward but its hard
is he self trained? also he is so cute in all but is having a service dog hard?
yes, he is self trained! thank you, it is hard at times, but so rewarding. :)
What is it like having that breed of dog as a service dog?
How am I exactly 2 minutes early?! 😅😅
Astro giving your ear a sniff attack was so funny 😂
He wouldn't stop! hahah thanks for watching our video early!! 🥰
I hateee when people don’t pick up after their dogs on campus
It's so gross. There's a lot of poop near Temple's campus! We need more responsible owners!! 😑
hi im new to your account i wanted to ask what dose astro do to help you i have a diebetic alert dog what dose he do for you not trying to be rude or anything.
!! Hi thanks for asking, I have a video on my channel explaining why I need an sd! We’re working on cardiac alerts rn :)
Oh that's awesome hos this training going @@AstroFromTheBlue
