He's grown so much as an sd! I'm 14 (almost 15) and I'm working with my therapist and my mom to get a phsyciatric service dog, and since we can't afford a program dog, I'm going to be owner training him! Seeing Astro grow has made me feel more confident and less anxious to train my own sd :3
I just found you channel. Can I just say that the closed captions are so nice. I have trouble hearing, and that sometimes makes it super hard to hear people talking in their videos when they are out in public spaces or talking to someone far away. It really helps some people. And also Astro is so cute and he is doing so good in his training. And out of curiosity when will you be getting a vest for him?
hi mira! thanks for supporting our channel! it’s so great to hear that the closed captions help you! it makes all the work soo worth it!! i im not quite sure but on the look out for stores! i want to get him a nice vest so we don’t have to replace it often!
@@AstroFromTheBlue that makes sense. If you are looking for a more tactical vest I know that OneTigris is a great place to check out. And then there are also a good amount of service dog vest makers on Etsy.
I love how you showed all his mistakes especially 6:31 bc I always get so much anxiety when my sdit has small things like a little bark or a growl at things that she has never seen before (it’s only happened 2 times)
I understand that you don’t like the patch so I recommend you buying other patches that you like so people understand that he’s a service dog and that way they don’t have to ask you questions about him. People can just read his vest and understand that he’s a working dog and he’s not there for their attention. He’s there to help you. that’s what I do with my service dog in training and people seem to be really respectful and it works really well.
If it starts to get cold, get boots for astro incase his paws get harmed by soemthing or get cold. Even though its not winter, if your near or in the uk expect the freezing cold wather. Your doing great!
@@AstroFromTheBlue ill keep an eye out for an update on his new vest! Hes so pretty, ive been watching you guys for a while just on my other account working.blu, i follow you on insta and tiktok too! i can tell hes getting sooo much better and is definitely recognizing when its time to work vs being off or taking a break, lots of love
I am so impressed with Astro's training. :) Just a question: Do you use the prong collar for corrections? (like when he pulls on the leash, gets distracted, etc.)
I just found your channel and I’m so happy I did 😊 I have an 11 week old Australian Shepard and he’s the best thing that has happened to me. I struggle with a lot of anxiety and even when I’m just doing my regular day errands :/ But, I had a question? At what age did you start training Astro for service ? And do you have any tips you can share when starting to train a dog for service ? Anything videos you recommend or advise. Thank you !!!
Hi Michelle! Ouuu a new puppy is so exciting. The answers can be found on my Q&A video on my channel. I started training Astro basic commands from 8 weeks old, but haven't done serious SD training until he was about 7-9 months old.
If you'd have conditioned him to the vest before immediately going to a high-stress environment, maybe he wouldn't be so uncomfortable. For the first few minutes the poor thing was giving you so many stress signals. Lip licking, ears back, shrinking into the corner, whale eyes. And even when you went outside he licked his lips and his ears were right back. Listen to your dog!!
You know that he dashes through your cars front window and dies when he isn't secured as a car crash happens? Just saying because it looked like he just sat there unsecured. You can drive very good but others can make mistakes as well, our fur babies deserve to be safe! ❤ No hate intended but I see so many dogs unsecured and if it happens it happens and that's a regret nobody wants
Just an FYI different states allow Public Access training in more areas like in Michigan at is been just granted as a 2022 any service dogs. Versus having to wait till after they are finished all her training to go into those areas it can be difficult for the doc to adjustable Darius because you're not put Samilia with them on a daily basis so our government has put into policy three different bills passed as of 2022 to help those like myself with the public access training. Unfortunately we have been meant with people who want to use the outdated policies towards to claim liability and say he's not fully trained cuz if he was his last wouldn't read service dog in training they don't want to update their policies they don't want to respect the new bills that were signed into law and I've also have people judge it based on you know I don't look the same old I'm not physically handicapped so we need you to have them on a leash when at least can interfere with him doing his job my medical condition and can cause dizziness disorientation and falling and that is why I was told by the organization I go through to use a tether or a handle with him. Some places that I normally would go to have never seen me with a service dog and suddenly see me with a service dog and don't know how to react to it and we just started as of nine months of age him going into public access training. As our governments had this allows these dogs to go into the areas establishment that were otherwise band to service dogs in training to only be allowed finished training service dogs in so now we are allowed to go into those areas which is housed me out which is helping my service dog training to move forward their training and adjust to these areas rather than over being dropped into those areas after we finished. I do get people who ask me why are you not leashing your dog and I'm like he's got his handle and a toddler to the handle so it can affect my condition and his tasking so that is why he's not on a leash and they need to respect that unfortunately are people saying and they can judge you based on your parents of whether or not that you qualify to have your dog on a tether or using a handle with the dog over Elise. People run into that a lot and they want to use their store policy over Ada laws and the bills that were just passed. It's awful taking a lot for my mom and dad to get used to going places with me with him because they don't know and they just don't want to look up the information to educate themselves I have to be the one to explain two things to them to understand that this is what this means that what that means based on me doing the private training and me training my dog to be a service dog and through this organization versus had I gotten through it. run into his people who I've seen you in the stores without a service off and somehow you know suddenly they see I have a service dog.

I haven't asked you know how is it that your service art doesn't have a vest on a dog must have a vest that's you know I have to educate them on that you know my dog's is a Bernese golden labrador poodle mix who helps me with balance coordination as well as medical alert and PTSD. And if it's really really hot out if he's just so hot I do give room so I do you have my groomer kind of maintain his fur to take it down a little bit so it's more comfortable for him during the summer but I'm like if it's like 95 100° he's not going to wear his collar I do sometimes use but overall you know there are days where I can use a leash and there are days where yet he's going to need to have that mesh vest that is breathable for dogs with lots of fur for service dog so that it's less hot on them when you're out and about in the summer time. I can put this Heather or handle on it quickly. Unfortunately I do get people like at a market outside Market saying or where's your badge on the bus so that states what service are facility you went through and I'm like not all service dogs or fruit waste facility and then you're like well then it can't be legit we want to talk to you and Tatian that you are in training again that's not something they can be asking us not legit for them to be asking they're afraid of liability because you don't look disabled your dog don't look like the normal breed that is registered service dog and their minds type breed.

I like seeing other dog teenagers training too, makes me less self conscious.
Yes, I 100% agree with you! It’s great to see young SDIT!
Channel is a ray of sunshine ❤
awww thank you! this made me so happy! ☺️
I love how you showed all his mistakes especially 6:31 bc I always get so much anxiety when my sdit has small things like a little bark or a growl at things that she has never seen before (it’s only happened 2 times)

aww thank you!! yup, he’ll pick it up overtime too!! 🥰
Second! Good job :)
I've got 7 weeks till my pup comes home 😭
ahhh!! that’s soooo exciting!!! 🥰
@@AstroFromTheBlue update- got an older girl last night!!! About 4 months. Her temperament is exceptional!!! She's SO SMART.
Can you do a video of what all you pack for a daily outing for Astro? I’m clueless on what all to pack!!
Hi Jennifer! Yes, I'd love to show you what we pack for our outings! Thanks for the video suggestion! 🥰
I am so impressed with Astro's training. :)
Just a question: Do you use the prong collar for corrections? (like when he pulls on the leash, gets distracted, etc.)
awww thank you so much! yes we currently use a prong collar but he doesn’t need many corrections anymore!!
@@AstroFromTheBlue That's great! Did the prong collar help a lot at first, though? Sorry for the questions lol
@@TheGoldenPaws it does help a lot. I am starting to incorporate it with my dog as well
You’re improving so much with Astro
aww thanks aunt susie!! can’t wait to see you!! 🥰
I just found your channel and I’m so happy I did 😊
I have an 11 week old Australian Shepard and he’s the best thing that has happened to me.
I struggle with a lot of anxiety and even when I’m just doing my regular day errands :/
But, I had a question?
At what age did you start training Astro for service ?
And do you have any tips you can share when starting to train a dog for service ?
Anything videos you recommend or advise.
Thank you !!!

What vest are you looking for? Y front does give him more knee movement, I'll DM you their instagram.
thanks for the DM, i saw it! but since he’s sooo fluffy, the y harness/vest won’t stick out!
@@AstroFromTheBlue oh shame
How old is Astro and what kind of dog is he? If your first service dog?
astro is a 1 year old australian shepherd! yes he is my very first service dog! 🥰
@@AstroFromTheBlue you seem to have a very good grasp on training for first time handler. So that’s a big accomplishment
You know that he dashes through your cars front window and dies when he isn't secured as a car crash happens? Just saying because it looked like he just sat there unsecured.
You can drive very good but others can make mistakes as well, our fur babies deserve to be safe! ❤ No hate intended but I see so many dogs unsecured and if it happens it happens and that's a regret nobody wants
