When the dog reminded you to take ur meds it reminded me i hadnt taken mine 😂😂
same lol
It’s hard to believe that these dogs are capable of such complex tasks. We really don’t deserve them
Dogs can do amazing things!
Dog deserves another cookie! My gosh!
He's a good doggo. He gets all the cookies ;)
This video is perfect for my school project
Excellent! :)
my self
what was your project?
Wait preassure therapy? I use my cat for that :D No service animal of course. But it helps~ The weight of him (6KGs) and the soft fur and loud purr is really helping. The mindless peting I give him calms me down quick but I have to remember meds on my own :D
Reminder* not all SD (or in my case an assistance dog) look like this. My girl is a psych dog and doesn’t do hardly any of these tasks. But this was a great example of a mobility aid trained dog!!
Hi Emily - while many of these tasks are mobility related tasks, theres also examples of guide work, as well as some psych service dog tasks such as block and cover, medication reminder/retrieval, and behavior/self-harm interruption, all of which some of my PSD clients have used with their own dogs :) It's important to remember that every service dog looks different depending on the needs of each particular person and the way their disability presents. Have a great day!
How does your psychiatrist dog not interrupt self harm or repetitive behaviors...? 2hat does it do then?
Dakota&Blessing ServiceTeam she does :)
Emily Abols then why did you say she doesn’t do any of these tasks?

Well.. Australian cattle dog mix with border collie...mixing two intelligent dogs... I had a red Australian cattle dog and she was so easy to train...and she passed away 6.2.19...she lived a little over 15 years. I miss her so terribly...I think I'm finally ready emotionally to get another service dog...just gonna be so difficult to find one...But um yeah...when you get a dog with those 2 breeds...so intelligent ...so easy to train... I'm glad that you've got such a beautiful pup ...inside and out...
What a great video Laura! Stuff I never even thought of like helping take clothing off & the certain behavior alerts. I gotta make a list now of stuff I need my Sophie & me to learn. I sure hope you have videos here or on Patreon covering some of these tasks. Thanks Laura for all the work you do to train both pups & peoples❣️💜
Definitely check out the "collections" tab on Patreon and go to "task training" to check out the task videos over there. The behavior interrupts are covered in my full behavior interruptions and alerts course (15% off for Patreon members) and then stay tuned for anything that isn't covered because the new puppy will be learning all the things very soon ;)
@@DoggyU Awesome! I definitely will check those out … I need help with tasks I think my Super Sophie can learn … eventually.
My next question is … do you have videos that teach spouses/significant others to not undo the daunting training of teaching a year-old highly reactive pup emotional control? My Sophie STILL gets crazy, loses her mind, and jumps and squeals hysterically when my spouse comes home (six months after Sophie pup adopted us), and my spouse insists she “can control” Sophie, which consists of grabbing the pup, putting her on her back, and rubbing Sophie pup’s tummy! Sophie doesn’t get discipline or learn self control, but rather, has been rewarded for being out of control. Then when I have Sophie with me (I’m TRYING to train her to SOME DAY be my mobility/balance/brace service dog) she does not want to mind!
If you don’t have a video for family members that desperately need “obedience training”, would you consider making one for only family/friends of people with “service dogs in training”? And something that emphasizes that even when service dogs aren’t “technically” working, they must still have super-good self control, as well as exceptional good manners.
Thank you Laura, Jake, & Coolwhip for all y’all’s hard work training us pups ‘n peoples❣️

@@michaelinejunefrost9437 Unfortunately, training family members can be really challenging. Sometimes more than the dog. In those cases, it's important to have a heart to heart with that person and how their behaviors is effecting your ability to train, and then, it's also important that if you can't change their behavior, you have to change your behavior. Meaning, when your spouse is coming home, you leash your dog with you, reinforce for calm behavior etc. Essentially you need to train your dog's behavior against your partners distracting behavior.
Thank you so much for taking the time to post this beautiful video:)
Can you do a video on how you train your dog.
hi m Valle - thanks for watching! I do have many videos on how i train my dogs to do a variety of behaviors. check out our "Dog Training" playlist for more. :)
I’m trying to self train my dog but keeps getting really distracted what’s your advice
Hi Freya - that's a really complicated question that involves knowing the breed, age, foundation, and type of training you've already worked on with your dog.
Generally, if the dog is struggling with distractions it means you've introduced too many distractions too soon in the learning process and probably need to take several steps back until the dog is proficient with whatever behavior you're asking in a neutral environment, and then start adding distractions methodically over time, one at a time. This video may help you think about each separate distraction you need to work around. ruclips.net/video/vbbu83ndHNM/видео.html

Amazing service animal
Thanks Elbore! I’ve worked with a lot of great dogs!
If I was to self train my small dog do you think I could use clips on her vest instead of her carrying items because she cannot carry heavy items in her mouth? Ex. Using a small pill holder and putting it on a clip on her vest/harness.
I think clipping something to her harness like pills may prove to be dangerous if she were to get into them if they are on her harness for an extended period of time. I could see having her carry some pills inside a backpack though - that might be a safer bet! But most dogs, even small ones can carry a traditional yellow pill bottle. You could also put the medication you need in a smaller, more easily gripped container. Just some other ways to solve the small dog problem :)
DoggyU yeah I realized that earlier 😓 thank you for the advice ! I’ll use one of the ideas :)
Wow!
I’ve trained my dog to Brace when need help getting up as I use him for leverage
Awesome!
How much of the laundry process can you train a dog to do? And can you train it to do other things like that? I'm lazy and that really caught my attention lol
😂 they’re not great at folding 😉
I just started teaching my dog to bring my blood sugar checker to me. Everything is going good so far except he's starting to bark in a store if people try to interact with him.. he barks a lot right now at home.. I'm not sure how to stop it.. aside from giving him a treat when he quiets down. Please do a video on how to get your dog to not bark lol
I also try to not let people pet him. But as you know that isn't always possible. I don't have a vest on him yet .. he's not at that point yet
wow that is so cool
Smart dog! What breed? Heeler?
The undressing one seems pretty fun for the dog lol
Oh yeah! Jake loves that task. Super fun! :)
It is interesting seeing what some dogs do, BUT, how do you get them to do it? I developed a "compulsive" behavior due to PTSD. When I get stressed, I will scratch my left elbow until it bleeds and not realize I am doing it until I see a bloody hand. I need to train my dog to interrupt the repetitive behavior to stop it before it gets to that point.
Hi Mac! Getting a trainer on-board to help you with task training can be super helpful. As far as behavior interruption, like you mentioned above, I have both a handout, as well as some video of training behavior interruptions (like scratching) over on my Patreon at Patreon.com/doggyu. I'm also working on developing a course to train that behavior for sometime in 2023. Hope that helps!
*me learning more tasks to teach my dog*
Hi Haven - make sure you check out our service dog playlist for some step by step training videos!
can you explain to me what they can do for a wheelchair bound person... i get my puppy in early march. he will do basic obedience first then move onto service dog training. I'm curious what all he will be able to help me with. he was lol supposed to be full blood serbien rottweiler but they also raise akitas. lol yep the male akita chewed thru metyal fence to breed his rottie lol. cut himself up bad I guess. so my puppy is half serbien rottie and half American akita. so has champion blood in him from both sides. momma was a import, from serbia... I'm a big guy so need a big framed dog incase I need to lean or push off him. but I'm so curious on ways he will help me....i cant wait.............
Hi Judotapout! Service dogs for persons in wheelchairs can help with opening and closing doors, retrieving items you drop or across the room, helping with laundry, transfers from your chair, putting credit cards on the counter at stores, carrying small items, help taking off clothing items, just to name a few!
Check out my service dog training and socialization, first week home video for some ideas of what you might want to focus on first! ruclips.net/video/G8AjPkj9CxA/видео.html
@@DoggyU do you think that you could make a short video on how to pick the right puppy, out of a litter? what to look for etc. i go on march 3 to get my male puppy. wanna choose the right one, for my service dog....
@@judo-drummerboy-tapout Hi Judotapout! I actually do have an hour long video on the topic! It even includes reviewing video of a litter and why I chose one dog over the other. You can find that at the Inner Circle level at Patreon.com/DoggyU
Wow im wantong to train my 7 month old some of these to help me out i suffer anxity and sezures but i also cant bend no more so some be very useful to me. How do i begining shes got lieing on my arm in a fit
I would start working with a local positive reinforcement service dog trainer in your area so that they can guide you through the process. Good luck with your training!

what type of dog is the last cliP?
That's my Australian cattle dog mix, Jake :) Mostly cattledog a little aussie and a couple other things sprinkled in.
I have spent three years to get nothing but run around and money taken with no serious commitment by Service Dog Facilities for a needed Medical Alert and CPTSD Service Dog. I started to train my dog to alert to my Hypoglycemia and Hypokalemia because it can cause Panic Anxiety, Vertigo, Dizzy Spells, Fainting and Sweats while messing with my Heart when low. She saved my life when I went into shock from an Bladder infection and alerted to my levels being in the danger zone, while I was in and out of consciousness she kept me awake till my brother got to me and was put in the hospital because of it. I owe my life to her after three years of training. Unfortunately she is to old to be a Service Dog in public it's to much on her so I have her help me at home, unless we go to places that let me take her. As I have said it's been years of trying to get an Service Dog who can help me especially out in public, but with each payment just to get in the door to places like Medical Mutts, Power Paws, Service Dogs of America and few others wanted $$$$ of money while being bias and stereotypical run around and dragging their feet, while finding any reason to down grade my situation and then not follow through. of me a civilian with the Medical and CPTSD Survivor case.
Despite my EMDR, Psychiatrist and Doctor saying I can handle the training I have done the training through online with my senior dog, and that just because I am single in my own home and not in a relationship, doesn't mean I'm incapable, incompetent and don't have a safety net/support around me because that is not true. It's very, very humiliating and degrading going through issues with multiple Service Dog Facilities that I have lost hope in them, despite what they claim, I feel if you benefit from a Service Dog through them, it comes off as only if you boost their image, served our nation or are married in a supposed "healthy relationship" is what I got from them. There is also discrimination double standard if you served and have pets already at home, they trust you'd make a good candidate, but if your a single civilian they claim "you might not be capable or up to the task, we prefer to place dog in a home with no other pets if your a civilian, or we need to meet your dog" . I was willing to go down to each facility with my senior dog with a friend or family, after investing money to these places , just to be ghosted and then a slap in the face a year or two years later they say "oh we just don't think your right for us, or we don't think under bias assumptions your up for the task" all a load of crap. I was told the sooner the better, and at this point I'm looking to adopt a dog from a shelter and train them and then use Atlas Organization that trains adopted dogs for doing Service Dog job.
What is your recommendation of looking for a candidate in a Shelter.
I have heard only Diabetes alerts by Service Dog, but I can tell you having Hypoglycemia and Hypokalemia is no different, and it's frustrating and sad for the millions who truly need an alert medical for these situations that can be done, like facilities do Diabetics I believe they can if they weren't stubborn and willing to learn from those who train their dog for Hypoglycemia and Hypokalemia, and when you say you have Complex Post Traumatic Stress and Anxiety Disorder they act like they have no clue what that is, yet it's worse than PTSD for some like me, and a big difference than those who Served it's usually worse as a civilian survivor, yet the facilities were ignorant and didn't want to understand the difference and that is a real diagnosis for civilians especially those who have like me been through foster situation.
Hi Gigi - I'm sorry you've had such a hard time getting the help you are seeking. Service dog training is an unregulated industry, and that can make things incredibly challenging, along with each organization training for specific things, and not everyone being a good fit for all programs. There's definitely more people looking for dogs out there than there are places that can fill that need.
As far as rescues go, I generally don't recommend adopting a dog as a service dog in most cases, as it's very difficult to vet dogs for suitability in shelter situations. You also have no idea about their health history, or socialization history. It can take dogs weeks or even months to decompress after a shelter situation before they show their true personality and temperament, which can make evaluating individual dogs difficult. If you do decide to adopt a dog, I recommend a foster-to-adopt situation where you can have the dog in-home and have a professional assess it over a period of a month to see if it's a good candidate for the type of service work you would like the dog to do. Either way, I recommend you get a trainer on-board before picking a prospect so that they can help you with assessing candidates before making a commitment.
Oh my goodness I have hypokalemia and just learned that I have it!!!!!!! I’m so sorry about your situation, but I’m just excited bc I’ve never once met anyone with hypokalemia before!!!!!!
Im training my own service dog (trying!! We purchased her as a puppy from a reputable breeder to make sure she was very healthy) and she seems to be learning what my mouth or breath smells like when I’m having an episode, so she stays next to me (I become paralyzed). I don’t know if she’d ever be able to learn to smell it ahead of time, but she’s learned over time what the smell is when she needs to stay and protect (she very clearly comes over and smells my mouth!). Dogs are fascinating. Perhaps the dog you choose could learn this too!!!
Can u do one for turrets and severe anxiety etc
Hi Willow! I have very little experience with service dogs for Tourette syndrome. I do have a video on deep pressure therapy that people with anxiety often use. You can find it here: ruclips.net/video/P4F_v8dww0g/видео.html
What other tasks do you find helpful for your service dog to perform? I have some videos I’m working on, but happy to hear suggestions!
@@DoggyUhi my service dog in training named willow is being trained for these things and looking for more stuff to teach she knows dpt but thank you x
@@katyanna311 typically we would teach behavior interruption with severe anxiety if there is an outward indicator for the dog. Stay tuned for a new video on behavior interruption coming up in the next few months. There's also some video and an outline of how to train it on my Patreon page at Patreon.com/doggyu
My dog won’t want to do his tasks unless I respond with a treat, what should I do?
Hi Flor - it seems like you would benefit from working directly with a positive reinforcement trainer so they can show you how to transition to treats off your body, other rewards, and how to use food effectively to reward behavior. Good luck with your pup!
I think I might have behavior interruption
what breed is she?
The merle dog is an Australian Koolie. The one in the thumbnail is a cattledog mix and there's also an aussie shown in the video. That being said, Koolie's and Cattledog's are not generally well-suited service dog candidates and both my dogs have disqualifying factors if they were being considered as SDiTs. Well-bred Labs and goldens are you best bet for service dog work.
Dog breed?
Which one? There are several different breeds in this video including German Coolie, Australian Cattle Dog X, German Shepherd Dog, Australian Shepherd.
