I was on a flight one time and they had given this girl with a service dog a middle seat . You could tell she was a little bit anxious about being in the middle seat so I asked if she wanted to switch since I was had the window seat. She barely had any room for her german Shepherd . She kept apologizing about her dog being in my space . I told her it was alright and her dog ended up sleeping with its head on my foot for the 3 hour flight and I didn't mind because she was super sweet and her dog was super cute
That was really nice of you. I can assure you it's already difficult having a disability & flying but when you are constantly worried about every1 else around you it really elevates your stress levels when travelling.
Thank you! This is a great video and gave me so much information. I applied for a guide dog a little while ago and a field rep is going to do the examination with me on Monday and I'm a little scared, but I have my fingers crossed.
Ewww! I know the smell of those indoor potty spots and I can't believe the airport has one sitting out in the open like that. Holy smokes! My Mavis really doesn't like those indoor pet relief areas because of the smell, so she tippy-toes onto the edge and then leaps off once she's done!!
@@corvinbrady3603 - We were at Phoenix airport last month early in the morning and I guess they had cleaned the pet area the night before because it was SO clean and there was NO smell ... that *I* could detect - Mavis still got the shudders when I asked her to potty on it!! 🤣
Thank you so much for filming this video. It is packed with so much information. If you can swing it on your next trip, could you film going through security because I never had the opportunity to fly with my retired service dog and obviously since he is retired, I wouldn’t do that anyway. And to be honest, our school doesn’t really train in the airports so when we go back home, we are kind of flying blindly (no pun intended). So, I would really appreciate knowing what to do when the time comes to take to the sky with my successor at some point. - Katie
Sure I can try! Until then, this video can help you out: ruclips.net/video/ceDIBIQMUOg/видео.html . I would also recommend going to a local place that requires security. I went to to the local courthouse with my dog to practice going through security just to make sure we knew what we were doing before being in the busier and more stressful environment of the airport.
Great video!! I will be flying with my service dog for the first time in about 3 weeks and am really worried. Her bathroom habits have in the past been questionable in high stress environments. She also does not like elevators so the flight has me worried that she will have an accident. This video has been amazingly helpful showing from getting to the airport, through the airport and leaving, so thank you very much. I subscribed.
My dog had one when we flew, take puppy pads and absorb granules Incase of a clean up. Restrict food before your flight. Give them ice cubes so they’re not taking on too much water and treats with low salt so they don’t get to thirsty. Also, thunder shirts really help to reduce anxiety and pressure.
Thank you so much for this video! I’m flying tomorrow for my first time with my SD and I’m so nervous. This helped me feel more prepared and not so scared! I appreciate you! Cute and very well behaved pup. ☺️
I was worried for his ears but I knew he was going to ok when I took my service dog on a plan for the first I was so worried but everything went well I love ur vids and ur dog and how they people on the plane were so nice.
Thank you for this video! I am planning on taking my service dog on a cruise next year. She had also never been on a flight and my anxiety is through the roof about it. I am a visual learner so videos help me a ton! I’m trying to do as much research as I can before our trip. I’ve also been watching your cruise videos.
Thank you for sharing! I recently took my medical alert service dog on his first flight since Covid started and he is struggling a little with the impact of gravity during landing mostly. I think I will try not sitting in bulkhead next time. Great info! 💗
that was great and super informative. I dont have a guide dog yet, Im on the waiting list here in the UK.. the wait times are long - up to 2 years, but I try and absorb as much information as possible in readiness. thanks you
I’m in the uk too. Applied once years ago but they said no, I’ll be trying again at some point though and as I never que if I succeed think I’ll try and get skipped ahead to get my dog. Otherwise my hidden disabilities will play up and I’ll be on their back saying you said I qualified where is my dog etc. Me and waiting don’t do well, I never que at theme parks or the airport. I just get so distressed and upset and start saying things like they’ve forgot me.
How did you get him used to the loud noises of the airplane the first few times you took him? I’m about to start the process of training my service dog (with the help of a trainer) and I’m worried that the noise and the turbulence would be upsetting at first. Also, what do you do when you need to use the bathroom on the plane? Do you take him with you into the tiny bathroom?
I’ve seen some advice w desensitizing service dogs (not necessary to planes) by playing the noises really loud on a pc and reward them for staying calm during it, this was about training your sd to not be nervous of aggressive dogs but maybe it’ll work for airplanes too?
He does DPT now, and I plan to teach him syncope response and item retrieval when I have the time. Hopefully over the summer! I have POTS and some other chronic illnesses, so it would be helpful. But he is first and foremost a guide dog.
From Kay to Zee I have a sd for pots and a few other things as well. She does low bp alerts, dpt, grounding, blocks, and some anxiety alerts. She is learning item retrieval and other non weight bearing mobility things and fmp rn.

Yep my guide dog won’t go in the indoor doggie bathroom either. My first guide went in the big handicap bathroom stall with me and I put down one of those Pee pee pads and this was before the indoor bathrooms.
I LOVE, love your sunglasses with the mirrored colors on the front side! I know this video was a while back but do you remember what brand they are? It seems like most “blind sunglasses“ for lack of a better term for people with photophobia are not very stylish but I love those that you have on.
Thank you for this video I’m also planning on getting a service dog as well guess I got to start wearing sunglasses for people to know I have a disability.
M M in the US, no. He doesn’t even have to wear a vest or harness. In the US, it is actually illegal for a business to ask for proof of training, need, or registration. The websites online are actually scams!!! It’s good to carry vaccine records just in case, but that’s all really. Hope this helps!!!
Hi Kay! New follower here! I am receiving my service dog in June. (So excited!) I heard you say that Zenith has his bag of supplies. I've heard rumors about this, and I just wanted to know if it's true or not?
I'm not exactly sure what you mean, but I did bring his own little suitcase with his food, a few toys, and the gear he would need on our trip. Good luck with your dog!
Can I ask a personal question? What percentage of sight do you have? (This is absolutely no criticism at all). I would just like to know as you have good spatial awareness and manage a bit without Zenith on harness. This is really just an honest and genuine question from a curious watcher...I hope neither you or anyone else takes offense to me asking this
I'm not sure if this is an inappropriate question to ask. Therefore if it is I'm so sorry, but what is your service dog for? Emotional support? Physical? Whats your disability? This is your first video I've seen so I'm not sure. But hes super cute and this video helped me a lot with animals on planes. Thanks.
Its Zee An extra little bit of trivia: only dogs that come from the school called “the Seeing Eye” are referred to as “seeing eye dogs”. It’s actually a bit of a brand misnomer, such as referring to all facial tissue as Kleenex. There are many different schools that train dogs for the blind, the Seeing Eye is one of them, and has the most well known name, but dogs that come from other schools are known as guide dogs.
Hello! I was just recently (within this week) diagnosed with POTS, and I plan in getting a Service Dog for psychiatric disabilities I have, and I am wondering what task ideas y'all have that I could train him/her to do for my POTS. 😊
Item retrievals can help so you don’t have to bend over when you drop something to pick it up. I believe DPT can lower heart rate. And I would train syncope response if you fait regularly. Be skeptical of any trainer who claims they can train heart rate alert as that is not proven to be possible, and they are likely trying to scam you (SD training scams are so common it’s sad!). Your dog might pick up on heart rate alerts naturally, but as of now it can not be trained. I just use an Apple Watch to track my heart rate, and it works for me. Good luck!!
@@fromkaytozee8132 That sounds really helpful, I have 2 breeds in minds that I can afford and are generally quick learners, but if you dont mind my asking, what breed would you recommend?

hello! only ESA's and Psychiatric service dogs need doctors notes. the ACAA (Air Carriers Access Act) states that psychiatric service animals and emotional support animals must provide a doctors note 48 hours before the flight!
@@NeverPullOutInMexico if you have a psychiatrist they should know what to put in the note- but if they ask you for whatever reason, or if you’re just seeing a regular doctor and they aren’t sure what to write down, it should just have something along the lines of: “ ‘your name’ has been diagnosed with a psychiatric illness that requires them to bring their service animal/emotional support animal with them on the flight.” basically- keep it simple! you don’t have to tell anyone at all what your have at any point in time. if they ask what the dog does or provides just simply state if their a service animal, that their for psychiatric reasons. if their an emotional support animal, that they’re there to help you stay calm/for psychiatric reasons. if you have any more questions i will answer them !!
i know blindness is a spectrum so im curious if you are 100% blind or can still see some what. im not trying to sound rude and u dont have to answer just curious😁
I'm glad that I stumbled across your video. I just got my dog and I registered her as a service animal. She currently doesn't have any training but I am training her myself. In February 2022, I will be flying from Ohio to Miami with her, and I realy need to work with her on not going to say hi to every person she sees and jumping on people. What worries me the most is going through security and take offs and landings, but also foot room. She is a pitt mix so shes about the size of your dog. Doesn't look like your dog did too bad on take off, but he did landing go, especially touchdown... Did the touchdown mess with her in anyway? If you don't mind me asking, what airline was this?? I only fly Delta and just wondering how the flight attendants and gate agents treated you with a service animal? Is there any other obediance type training I need to do with her before flying?

Here in the uk we only use the correct term guide dogs. If anybody dares to say to me why don’t you have a seeing eye dog I say what’s a seeing eye dog. No such thing as seeing eye dog here only guide dogs which is correct.
Nope. My dog is a Seeing Eye dog, and there is such thing as a Seeing Eye dog. My dog is also a guide dog, and in the US, he is a service dog. A Seeing Eye dog is a guide dog that was trained at the Seeing Eye, which is what my dog is. In the US a service dog is a dog that is trained to perform a specific task (comfort does not count) to help mitigate a person's disability, so guide dogs are legally classified as service dogs in the US. A guide dog is a dog that was trained to guide a person who is blind or visually impaired. So my dog is a guide dog, but he is also a Seeing Eye dog because he was trained at the Seeing Eye. In the US neither "guide dog" nor "Seeing Eye dog" are legal terms, so legally, he is a service dog. But all three of those terms accurately describe my dog with "Seeing Eye dog" being the most specific and "service dog" being the most general. Terms differ based on location, laws, and specifics of how the dog was trained, but "Seeing Eye dog" is the correct term to describe my dog, even though it is not the correct term to described the majority of guide dogs in the world.
@@danielledewitt1 “The Seeing Eye” was the first guide dog school in the US. Even though, Technically, only dogs that go through this school can be called “seeing eye dogs”, it has somehow come to be a generic term for a guide dogs here, the same way that all brands of tissues end up being called Kleenex.
Angel's paws Yes I am aware, I was in belief that she was claiming to be completely blind. My bad, I’ll make sure to tell my friend that too, she told me about this channel.
@@jamestheservicedog8014 Just for future reference, only 10% of blind people are what we think of as "completely" blind, where they see nothing, not even light. I am also a new subscriber, so I am just now gathering what little personal info Kay puts in the videos. I know she wears sunglasses sometimes, which she addresses in this video is because she is sensitive to light. I imagine she has very low vision and/or has light perception, but she cannot see enough to safely navigate. As for how does she correct Zenith, when you use a guide dog harness (on a trained dog) you can feel the movements that the dog makes through the handle, as well as any tension on the leash. I imagine Kay can feel his movements, especially if he is clearly going off track or staring at something and she is able to correct him. I don't know how long Seeing Eye training is to teach the blind handler how to use a guide, but most organizations have 2-4 week classes. I'm certain the organization trained Kay to know when/if Zenith is distracted and how to correct him for it. The visual text comments on the video are likely from a sighted person helping her edit the videos. One last thing: guide dogs are not GPSs. You, as a handler, still must know where you are going, or be able to ask for help, while the dog makes sure you get to your destination safely. I hope this helps!

@@fromkaytozee8132 Odd. Very odd. I’ll have to wright to america about that.
Same
@@danielledewitt1 “The Seeing Eye” was the first guide dog school in the US. Even though, Technically, only dogs that go through this school can be called “seeing eye dogs”, it has somehow come to be a generic term for a guide dogs here, the same way that all brands of tissues end up being called Kleenex.
@@Positivekitten Well seeing eye dog is wrong.
We humans truly don't deserve dogs! My dog would throw himself in front of a bus for me with no hesitation!
Are you totally blind or do you have some vision?
Some vision
If your service animal is a guide dog, then how are you able to correct him? And how do you know where everything is?
There are different types of guide dogs not everyone has the same severity of being blind
Angel's paws Yes I am aware, I was in belief that she was claiming to be completely blind. My bad, I’ll make sure to tell my friend that too, she told me about this channel.
@@jamestheservicedog8014 Just for future reference, only 10% of blind people are what we think of as "completely" blind, where they see nothing, not even light. I am also a new subscriber, so I am just now gathering what little personal info Kay puts in the videos. I know she wears sunglasses sometimes, which she addresses in this video is because she is sensitive to light. I imagine she has very low vision and/or has light perception, but she cannot see enough to safely navigate. As for how does she correct Zenith, when you use a guide dog harness (on a trained dog) you can feel the movements that the dog makes through the handle, as well as any tension on the leash. I imagine Kay can feel his movements, especially if he is clearly going off track or staring at something and she is able to correct him. I don't know how long Seeing Eye training is to teach the blind handler how to use a guide, but most organizations have 2-4 week classes. I'm certain the organization trained Kay to know when/if Zenith is distracted and how to correct him for it. The visual text comments on the video are likely from a sighted person helping her edit the videos. One last thing: guide dogs are not GPSs. You, as a handler, still must know where you are going, or be able to ask for help, while the dog makes sure you get to your destination safely. I hope this helps!
Seeing Eye guide dog.
Golden retriver.
weird
I’m really surprised you don’t put a seat belt on your dog.
How when it’s a plane.
@@danielledewitt1 she's a troll
@@Akutheos Clearly. Though dog seatbelts do exist but for cars.
@@danielledewitt1 cool?
