Classical Playz they fake service dogs by putting on a service dog collar(?i forgot what they’re called) when they aren’t actually a service dog. It’s like bringing a normal dog to the mall and pretending it’s a service dog although the dog isn’t “trained” like one. Short explanation: people fake service dogs for attention or they wanna bring them everywhere they go
The dog would get distracted I have a survis doggo and they get annoyed I have the same thing she has that's happened to me and that person got Sued who I encountered
My dog isn't nearly as well trained as Dakota but at least I can control her if it gets out of hand. That dude didn't do jack shit and I'm willing to bet he let go of the leash on his own or just didn't care enough to keep a grip. My dog stays physically tethered to me with a "hands free" leash. It can be inconvenient at times but is one of the many kinds of leashes I use for the variety of things I need to do with my service dog. Personally I'd like to teach her off leash support some day but that will be far into the future after she perfects a few more tasks. I've seen alot of things on RUclips recently that I realized would be a major help but it will take time to add all these to her repoitire. After all, she has her paws full with just a few tasks. She helps with so many different aspects that idk how a single dog can do them all and she's actively learning more too. I know most service dogs are for disabilities you can't see but I think we all saw his disability: Assholeism. His dog: fake, probably; untainted, to the max. My dog: real and task oriented; trained exceptionally for everyday activities and places, medium for oddities in everyday activities and places, potentially unprepared for new activities and places (such as an airport of which she's never been to any before, eek my anxiety is high in anticipation for that trip).
With the people saying that you should've calmed down: Bruh no That was obviously a fake service dog and it shouldn't have done what it did. The owner should have had the dog under control. You shouldnt say to calm down when your distracting a service dog. They have to be there and alert, and letting another dog distract them is not okay.
Not only that, she has PTSD and another condition (I can’t remember the name) that will cause her to act out and maybe overreact. She *can’t* down. And I don’t blame her for crying. I would too.
Dude did not have a real service dog he was not well mannered for one and for two he started barking . Real service dogs are trained and very well mannered. I feel bad for this girl but her dog handled it well as he was suppose too. 💖
Maryetta Graves This is actually kinda tricky because an EMOTIONAL support dog does not actually need to be trained any specific way. Nearly any domestic pet qualifies for ESA registration, including dogs, cats, birds, mice, rabbits, snakes, ferrets, pigs, and many more. Most important, your pet does NOT have to be trained to perform a task. That's because the very presence of your pet helps your emotional/mental disability. So this means that persons dog could have very well been an EMOTIONAL support service dog. 🤷♀️ just saying
not all friend there are entitled and snobby people that think theres trumps others not all are the same breed and not all have to wear harnesses my old CPL has ptsd and anxiety and he has a red cattle dog no harness just a collar and its all approved
That part (imo) is him basically admitting his dog is a fake service dog. No one wouldn't say that if it were an actual GENUINE misunderstanding (which is highly unlikely anyways).
I dont understand why people fake service dogs, it can put everyone in danger and its illegal. Yeah, I get it you love your dog and you wanna take them everywhere, so do I but seriously, have some respect 🤦🏽♀️🙄
Recently my dog attacked my 5 year old neighbor. She is the sweetest girl, and I cried really hard that day because I thought that the health department would take her away from me. She’s not aggressive at all, but she had little training as a pup, because we live in a place where you don’t meet 100 new people every week. Just goes to show that even if your dog is sweet, if it’s poorly trained DO NOT put it in a situation where there are many people/animals because not everyone knows how sweet your pup is.
Hope you get training for your dog and yourself soon as possible , you're very lucky that your dog was not put down, sounds just horrifying the dog could attack a 5 year old and keep it leashed all the time.
Cause a lot of people think their smarter than the law and love to do want they want to do. I not going to lie I would practically bring my dog everywhere because I’s autistic and I can get a little anxious around other people. And no it’s not a service dog. But if I don’t see a sign that says no pets allowed I’m bringing them. 😌✊
@@plsstopfartingyougavemebre1754 real service dogs need to stay on task with their handler uncase of emergency not try to sniff other dogs that could put 2 people's lives in danger
Ok but where did he say it’s a service dog no need to assume something when we dont even know the story not trying to come out rude but even the girl probably doesn’t even know if it’s just a regular dog
@@karinarevenko5006 His dog is wearing a vest which clearly states Service Dog on the side of it, implying it is being passed off as one. Unfortunately the video isn't clear enough to show the words but they both verbally state what's written on the side of the vest multiple times. It is clearly just a regular dog in its behaviour. Service dogs are trained to listen to commands, not stray off, do tasks specific to the individual owner, and ignore distractions, among other things. This dog quickly lost focus on the woman he had started to follow and made a beeline for Dakota, had to be held and pulled away, began barking at them. Not to mention he would not have needed to pin the dog down in the first clip showing this dog if it were an actual service animal (the slow recap shows a firm grip to the dogs head, not any form of petting).
My friend has a service dog cause she has diabetes and we where at the mall with our other friends and someone’s “service dog” was trying to attack her service dog it was so sad the dog was trying to alert her but the dog kept barking and jumping!🐕🦺
This actually scares me because I have type 1 and don’t feel changes in my blood sugar and have been trying to talk to my parents about self training a diabetic alert dog and I’m afraid of some morons false service dog attacking.
The service dog was clearly not real because the second it noticed Dakota it literally started barking and that is not how the service should act I just hope that you and Dakota are ok
Brooklyn Gilchrist-Hunter what does the dog need to save them from and plus you can tell the dogs not serious because he’s wagging his tail so they should not let they dog bark so they don’t even know how to train a service dog but they would let the dog bark and bite for safety reasons
To people saying “it could have been a service dog in training “ no, because service dogs “in training” have to have that on their vest. They also have to know basic commands such as stay, sit, listen..ect. That dog I can guarantee you isn’t a service dog, nor is a dog in training. Service dogs start training as PUPPIES and if they show aggression towards other dogs like that dog did, then they are kicked from the program. That dog was definitely showing aggressive behavior.
I agree.... People that train real service dogs typically tell the owners of the establishment that the dog is in fact in training. They also might wear a that says in training. Lastly, a real trainer of a real service dog would have understood the lady's reaction and not said stop over reacting and all the other stuff he said. He would probably apologized and said this dognis in training. So therefore... I say that dog was not in training not a real service dog and the man was not a trainer!.
let me clear this up for you, since you obviously have no clue as to what you are saying. A service dog OR service dog in training do NOT have to be vested. Also, most service dogs do not start training unitl between 18mo and 2yrs of age. Now, before you respond with yet another "know it all" ignorant statement, this is what I do for a living. I will definitely agree that that animal in the video is not a service dog, however, ALL service dogs have to begin their training somewhere. I can recall at least 3 animals Ive trained that had rough starts to socialization in their public access training. All thus far have turned out to be excellent working animals.
@@SwiggitySwagDopeInTheBag if you read my comment I used the word "typically" and "might". I did not say it was definitive. However in this particular case, I still dont think it was in training because I true trainer would have more control over the dog. Heck, I would have had more control and I am not a trainer.. additionally, the owner would or at least should have said something like " sorry he is in training" in anstrsd of being the asswipe he was.
When you were crying I started to I felt bad and I agree what they did was wrong and Dakota could have gotten badly hurt I hope she's okay love you girlies!
Don’t ever apologize for your reaction hun. The way he acted and how other people told you to calm down and leave it alone was wrong. You were completely in the right for confronting that man that way.
Hulk Smash My Yorkshire terrier, 11lbs ripped my uncles face half way open. Learn your fucking animal anatomy dude, their canine teeth are literally made to tear open meat.
Hulk Smash Dogs can do a lot more than they actually do because we have trained them over hundreds of years. If we disappeared, dogs would just become another predator, to themselves and other animals
Chloeex Um, he can’t. Especially if he’s not sure the dog won’t go after anybody, or a dog for this matter. Such a populated area, with a dog like his, can put other service dogs (like Lexis) in danger. And also cause an unnecessary episode.
For anyone who tells you to "Act Human", they've just proven their own lack of intelligence. From what I saw, you're Service Dog did the exact thing he/she should do. Told you when she sensed something, and calmed you down. I know your friend was telling you everything is OK, but so was Dakota, physically not verbally. You could tell by the look on the dogs face. Your friend is amazing, too.
1 if its a service dog it would be way more behaved. 2 If you plan to bring it in public at all it has to be trained how to act to ppl and dogs.Dakota is a good example of a service dog. I am so sorry this had happened to you.
You guys saying that Dakota would have been fine and could kill that dog, yes she could but she would no longer be a service dog. Once they get in a fight like that they take the dog out of service. That's thousands of dollars wasted. That's why these fakes are an issue.
PREACH PREACH PREACH. After this incident it took Dakota months to be okay enough to work around other dogs. She couldn’t focus when a large pet dog was barking at her in public. Still to this day if she’s caught off guard by a large dog while she’s working she gets startled and feels like she has to watch her back. She is not reactive, we have worked with other service dogs and she’s fine. It’s just when they bark like the one in the video where she gets started and takes a second to refocus on me. She never had this problem before.
@@lexiegodbout Hey, I'm late but let me say this! Ignore the hate comments omg I can't stress enough! Some people in this comment section trigger me and I'd think they'll trigger you! I wish you the best! Edit: Thank you for the likes, it was unexpected!
@@nicewholesomeandpure5165 She explains why she reacted so strongly literally right after the confrontation. Then, moments later, she had an episode. Keep in mind that those with her problem react differently than most other people in tense situations.
@@soulechelon2643 I have Borderline Personality Disorder and/or CPTSD (health pros can't seem to decide). My daily experience is similar to hers in many ways, all I have sympathy, just to start with that. What I don't have is a dog, or anything else, to warn mw when my emotional shit is about to hit the fan. I have had to make due with psychological and emotional mediation skills such as CBT and mindfulness techniques etc. This isn't to make a direct comparison because no rational person would do that, everyone had differing factors that play into their issues and recovery/mediation efforts. I only mention my issues because through them and my efforts to deal with them- I have a key good idea of how much it sucks to live with that sort of disability, and I have more sympathy than it overtly seems like I do. However, at the same time, because of my personal experiences and beliefs, I also strongly believe in personal responsibility. It's not society's fault we're like this, it's not ours either to be clear, but it's OUR burden to bear and it's unfair to expect others to make exceptions to their basic understanding of human interaction to compensate for our shortcomings. It's a process, were all at different places in that journey, but the way this is framed is as though everyone is supposed to just Intuit the fact that we have issues, what those issues and triggers thereof are and chance their entire social expectation set, reframe experiences, and adjust responses accordingly. That just isn't reasonable. That's my only point and I'm pretty sure that was the core idea behind what that guy was saying.
One way to, get dogs inside the store. Fake service dogs. Who does that, whoever fakes there service dog is such a idiot. I don’t have one, but it’s wrong to who fake a service dog.
That is not a service dog. A service dog would have much more control. Your dog did beautifully at being in control at all times no matter what the situation. I am so sorry that happened to you.
NobodyCares There’s a big difference between a service animal and a support animal. A service animal requires classes and certificates of completion for their training. A support animal just needs basic discipline and his HUMAN caregiver requires a doctor (therapist) approval for the support animal documents that cost $150 a piece to legalise the dog for support care. Support animals aren’t “fake” service animals. They are entirely different types
@@DLF-do1gj perhaps it's not the same everywhere. My dog was trained to handle tasks for me that I'm unable to perform myself in addition to needing a mandatory temperament evaluation, a obedience certificate to show she's not just a good looking dog in a vest I don't know about horses and had no idea a horse can be a service animal. I'd be jealous if I saw one for sure
I can't stand it when ppl bring their pets to stores etc. and try to pass them off as service animals! There should be laws that restrict ppl from doing this.
I have seen more then one person bring their dogs not even trying to pass them off as service dogs in to malls and groceries stores and none of the staff said anything to them
If your dog is aggressive towards other dogs, it shouldn't be out in public in general, especially if you don't know how to control it. I could go on a whole tangent on that subject, but too many people fail to see that's it's not just an inconvenience towards you if your dog is that way, but also a threat to those around you.
NebularSparks but what happened then is it normal for your dog to bark at other dogs but not female dogs because I have two dogs one of them is really friendly to all dogs but the other one just barks at any dog except if it's a female
My dog act exactly like that it’s normal for dogs to bark at other dogs the reason it was being aggressive is because that’s how they play it’s not the dogs fault it’s the humans for not training it
Guys ptsd is a serious condition. My uncle has it I believe but he doesn’t need a service dog. Whenever she saw the dog running towards Dakota it may have triggered some memories. My uncle was in the army and it’s hard to see your bestfriend die right beside you when you are at war. Certain things can trigger major mind movies which causes an extreme reaction!
Carrington Franklin my dad was in the military and no joke with his PTSD he has to be extremely drunk or his doctors give him stronger meds for the 4th of July just to make it through the fire works. He has literally had episodes where he’s blacked out and tried looking for a gun... scary shit to see
the hard thing is ..... out and even in the military it is so hard to prove cause it is so individual and unique people abuse it cause it makes a nice pention or disability
@@elliotoliver3492 its all relative and incredibly hard to prove 100 years ago it was only really due to war or traumatic events first hand ...... now they a 2nd and 3rd lvl ptsd where it can be having a family member go though it and you fear you will or they will again...... or YOUR IMAGINATION so you can watch chainsaw massacre on tv and get it cause you imagine it......... also because PTSD falls under anxiety umbrella people say that they have it when they have anxiety for more ummmm credibility maybe either way it all sucks
Whether it was an In-training service dog or fake one, neither should be permitted or excused in any place. A service dog in training does NOT go into public places until the owners think the animal is trained enough to experience that level of service. This dog was clearly a fake because the owner did not leave when the dog clearly showed it was not ready to handle a mall, or another service dog, in the first clip. The owner DISRESPECTFULLY stayed in the mall and held the dog's head down so it wouldn't notice Dakota. Red flag right there! If it had been one In-training, the owner would have apologized the first time and left the mall to begin with.
She started screaming and accusing him before he could even apologize and there isn’t really a training requirement just a leash requirement at least in my state Holding a dog’s head down is a training technique literally just search it up
They do go to public while in training. I got to witness service dogs being trained how to be in public. It was a group of owners and one person who guided the owners on giving commands for public places and would tell others who would distract the service dogs to stop and go away that way the owners wouldn't have to since they are learning also. It was quite a cool thing to witness. I ended up in the elevator with them leaving a parking structure so this is how I was able to witness all of this :)
gabrielle a service dog in training does not act like that, you’re actually supposed to train them as puppies and if they act like that at the school thingy they can get kicked out
It was NOT a dog in training a dog in training would know basic commands stay, sit ext. That specific dog showed signs of being hostile and aggressive dogs start training as puppies and if they showed signs of being the slightest bit of aggression it wouldn’t be able to be a service dog.
Im pretty sure anyone would be angry if they didn't know she had ptsd. If someone that i didn't know that she had ptsd i would definitely. Be pissed off. But they shouldn't be snitching on the other dog for being friendly.
@@johnnyklutcharch5891 It is the job of a legitimately trained service dog to ignore other dogs- this can be a reason for failure of SD training. It's not 'snitching' when it's a legitimate public safety concern.
@@kishaprime9 its still snitching. Its like getting jumped a really big safety concern but no one says snitches its just the way it goes deal with business yourself. And the way i see it is that I bet those people need expected to run into someone with ptsd and a service dog like the odds are like a million to 1. You have to understand that. Like I've almost never see service dogs the fact that they crossed paths is wack.
Service dogs are held to a very high standard... There is nothing wrong with how you reacted considering that SO many dogs go through rigorous training so these dogs should be very well behaved. I️m glad that you have such an amazing service dog that really sets a good standard for others.
Thank you for posting this. I have PTSD and a service dog too. I react the same when confrontation happens. I shout and start shaking then cry. I always hated myself for reacting in that way but I now know im not alone and its common with PTSD. I just need to focus on Chowser and not the hostile person in the situation. Its so hard to control anger and fear but DPT helps. Thank you for this.
2020 has been tough on everyone. Over the last two months, I have broken down 3 times. I can't imagine with PTSD. Nothing wrong with breaking down. It just means you have to pick yourself back up, but only when you're ready. We'll get through this.
You need to be trained with your service dog. The proper training will help you learn to focus when having melt down, the training will also give your dog training on what to do if the situation occurs. Wish you the best of luck
ReachSkyla hes saying act human cuz the girls lashed out at him for a dog that wanted to say hello when the dog came over it got pushed and then they continued by yelling people in the back said leave it be but them being fucking dumb decided to it worse and continue to yell at him i think one of them said get that shit out of here im to lazy to go back and check but ik they said something similar to that so yea thats why he said next time look at both sides
Uhm, its literally federally illegal to be faking a service dog/animal, i have a feeling the person who cares for that other dog has no idea how much trouble this footage could get them into legally (Edit) thank you all for the likes
@Marcy Davis Even service dogs training in public have extensive training at home/with professionals before public training. If there is a "service dog" in public that acts like that, then they are for sure not a service dog. A service dog in training is still extremely well behaved when taken out in public for real life training. Source: I have a friend who is a therapy dog trainer and I assist her sometimes.
Gillian Gross I use a service dog and agree that the dog in the green vest was wrong. But the dog in the red vest earlier in the video’s handler did not do anything other than act surprised and showed some interest in the other dog. It’s owner had the dog under control and did not deserve the tirade they got.
True but you do not have to have any medical document from a doctor to make your dog a service animal, you can literally pay $85 to register your dog... still wrong but you can do it..
Devon Gardner Those are fake registries, anyone with a real owner trained service dog should know this and should know what the federal laws are. We do not need to show proof of disability or certification of our service dogs because that would be a violation of our civil rights. I should not have to provide paperwork to enter a business plain and simple. Unless every other person in the U.S.A. needs to show ID.
This needs to stop. This is simply unacceptable and I will not be taking this. People need to stop bringing their "service dogs" if they're not even trained properly... And I'm glad you 2 are ok
depends on the state. some states say if they are in training or are/ may be trained as a service dog. leaving it to the dog has to attack someone to be told to get out. it's badly written laws that do not really set a clear standard. @@wutgreens443
The dog's behavior was a result of that guy's training, yeah. The issue is with him, not the dog; that issue goes beyond just service dogs though, and into a blatant lack of socialization. Even if the dog WAS socialized, it's still not okay to pass it off as a service dog; he just wanted to take his pet to the mall.
does she say get that shit out of here or did I hear wrong. Cuz if she did she shouldn't be calling an animal that it's not its fault it's the owners fault
My service dog, Chewbacca, was attacked 2 weeks ago by another “service dog” at my drs office. Bit a hole in my dog’s ear and got his eye!!! I freaked out so bad. I have 2 heart conditions so raising my heart rate and bp is dangerous so the drs staff checked me out. I had to take my dog to the vet and he has been out of service recouping for 2 weeks now. I get why you were so scared and I am glad Dakota wasn’t hurt. Pray for my puppy as he recovers.
I hope your service dog recovers! The person who brung that fake service dog should be ashamed of what they’ve done. How selfish of them. Glad that Chewbacca survived.
I understand but not everyone with PTSD acts the same way. Some have it really bad and act different in different situations. Someone could have it but not as bad and act totally different. For example, I have a PTSD from being attacked by a dog at the age of four. But even after it attacked me I stilled love the dog and other dogs. I was still kinda scared one would attack me but I pushed through with it. I have more reasons that cause PTSD that make me act differently depending on the situation I’m in.🙂 and that is the same with everyone. Everyone acts different in different situations because we are all different people.🙃
@@ookipuki Lol do you have a service dog? What would you do if a random dog that you DON'T KNOW ran up to your dog? I highly doubt you wouldn't freak out
absolutely agree with you on this one. My dog is super cute, and literally smiles at people.. people always go to pet her, and im like " nope, pls dont pet her" I dont give a reason, I just dont like people patting my dog ..
I have mobility Assistance service dog that weighs I. at 130# & he wears patches that say do not make eye contact with me do not ask to pet me do not interfere with me and my trainer. All I can say is this, there are ALOT of people walking around that R BLIND & ILLITERATE bcuz his patches are LARGE AND VERY VISIBLE from the front, rear and both sides!
Well, i will never understand how someone cannot see how a legit service dog behaviour differ from a pet with a vest, the focus of your sweet and beautiful husky on you and the nearly instant answer to your orders is clearly a sign of a "working" dog.
The problem is, there is no laws that have to make you prove your dog is a service dog in the US. In other parts of the world you have to take your dog for testing before you can even think about service work, but here in the US anyone can go online and order a fake badge. Then when they go into a store you can only ask to questions, which can easily be lied about. So even if the dog is misbehaving....etc they cant ask. Now they have changed a few laws in last few years that says if a service dog is pooping, peeing, lots of barking and over all misbehaving to a point it could endanger the public the manager may ask them to leave.
I can understand how that's a problem, in the country I live in, those kind of thing are very strict, you need an official accreditation to be allowed to use or train a service dog. There's an official training school for service dogs dedicated to blind persons in my town so we often see trainers familiarizing the dogs with crowds. Still there's such a huge gap of behaviour between a trained dog and a simple pet that it should be doable for security in the malls to be able to distinguish, maybe with a few lessons from a professional.
Well many people are fearful of asking someone to leave with a service animal just it case it was a real service animal. Even through trained service animal would never do that. I train service dogs and all of them go through a huge process even before we start training. Many trainers are jumping on this boat wagon and doing it for money and not the dog or the handler, and never train the dog right.
girl it means so much to me that you don’t edit out when you get triggered even if the response is angry, it really has helped me realize it’s a natural response and it is okay to not cut out your reactions even when displaying behavior. the fact that you can acknowledge it and know it was wrong and move on like, it makes me feel so much less alone bc i don’t find myself as an angry person but when triggered, i can get pretty bad and that’s one thing i really struggle with, you made me realize, it’s okay. i’m not a bad person. :) thanks for your content
I don’t like to comment often - but all the hate you’re getting is unbelievable . You literally explained why you did what you did. It’s the same as telling a person with depression to get over it. It doesn’t work like that. When I have an episode I lash out at everyone because I just can’t handle it and I do not think right. In my head, the world is ending and what I do doesn’t matter (ofc I get embarrassed after). I do not have a service dog but clearly that other dog wasn’t well trained. Can’t believe these other people.
Your comment makes my exact point though. You say you get embarrassed after, and so do I, but she shows zero remorse, even though this is after the fact of the actual 'attack'. Undoubtedly long enough to have your rational thinking capabilities back
You should get a service dog, i really recomend it. It will help a lot, if their well trained it will make you feel much more comfortable then without one.
At first I thought it was a service dog in training but you would think the man would apologize and explain. Your SO right. They need to get punished for putting people and service dogs in danger.
Its illegal but cant be enforced alot of stolen valor vids are wrong and not "legal stolen valor" and just offended soldiers. But it cant be enforced as you cant prove that it is a real service dog
Aww. Thank you Lexi for posting "Trigger Warning" on your video. Never seen anyone else do this. You're obviously a loving caring person! Thank from all those that suffer from such disorders. God bless you! 💖💖💖
The only entity allowed to decide if an animal is truly a service dog is a judge in a courtroom. Refusing service and/or being rude to a service Dog and handler is not only unprofessional behavior, but it is illegal at both state and federal levels.
I don’t think you acted unkind at all. The man was the rude one. Saying “calm down” and “act human”. Like...what???? You have a service dog for a reason
Shaddia Q She technically just started screaming at him before he could apologize. He said to calm down because she was screaming and yelling. I would have told her to calm down too.
@@hamstermain8327 did you bother to read the text that appeared? She suffers from ptsd hence why she has the dog. So the other dog running upto her dog sent her into panic. She even stated in the video it set her off causing her over reaction
I know, right? I'm a hobby writer and had an idea about a character with a service dog, so I researched a bunch of suff, including legalities, requirements, and when someone with one can be refused service, i.e. the dog is out of control or aggressive. It was really interesting and I actually changed a few things about the character because of what I found out. The story kind of fizzled, but the info has still been useful when I encounter people with service animals.
I have a husky like her but i dont take him with me much only to familys i have to have someone with me at all times tho because i do pass out i have something called potts but. I would never take my dog and fake him as a service dog thats just wrong to do
I had a friend who was quite a bit younger then me so I was more like an auntie figure to her but she had major flashback seizures and I started being able to sense her episodes quite effectively so I always told her I know she would be able to find a service dog to alert her!
It wasn't right for them to fake a service dog!! And not have it on a leash! Ugh it makes me mad to see that.. Dakota is a well trained service dog and stayed calm during the situation I give her a round of applause 👏👏
Please don't assume the worst. The dog did have a leash and some people fake service dogs because they need them but cannot afford them. Or it could have been a service dog in training. You don't know that dog or the owner so, you shouldn't assume that he did anything wrong.
Service Dogs in training should have a vest that states its in training. It shouldn't have a vest like that. My neighbor and our good friend has a service dog in training and it clearly sates on her vest
Same thing happened to my service dog except the other “service dog” was really aggressive and tried to bite my dog!😡 I told security at the mall and they kicked out the people which made me feel a little less anxiety. But just seeing you go through the same thing really breaks my heart and no one should experience this because it can be really scary. Btw your dog handled that really well and that really helps in these situations.
That comment to “act human” showed me that the man had NO understanding of other’s with disabilities. He should act human by NOT bringing his dog to the store. So sorry that you had to go through that. Your dog is beautiful ☺️
I’ve been on the bus while this kind of thing happened. I self trained my dog and as soon as she was ready I took her on the bus. She was really good on the bus and alerted me everytime I needed to calm myself. After a few months of good experiences (apart from a few harmless fake dogs) a woman came of with a very excited pit mix. The bus driver asked to normal Qs and got the bogus answer, it was apparently a service dog. It then saw Maggie (my service dog) and lunged. The dog ripped her harness off her and then went for her again. I collapsed and had an attack. Maggie quickly recovered and later on top of me to soothe me. The bus service went out of their way to help me but I was shaking to much to respond. The woman was banned from the bus but never even apologized. She actually said it wasn’t that big a deal!! Her harness was in two pieces and I was on the floor!! And IT WASNT A BIG DEAL! I hate people like that!!
@@tomahawlk2 According to the ADA law, people CAN self train their dogs and there's NO such a thing like a certificate (unfortunately) If YOU don't know the law then I suggest you can visit the ADA site and INFORM yourself before talking. www.ada.gov/regs2010/service_animal_qa.html Edit: the mindset that causes REAL issues is the one that is ignorant and lacks of knowledge about the laws and the real danger of fake service dogs.
@@sarahlin77 Obviously a different country. Dogs are required to have 6 months training, then a further 2 with new owner, require a certificate and a license.
If that guy knows his dog attacks other dogs, why the heck would he bring him into public places will there will most likely be real service dogs. And I love how you train Dakota for almost ALL situations. You are so strong and beautiful! Love you! 💖💖
Enchanted Ella it prolly wasn't a service dog but that dog did not attack I'm not sure if you've ever witnessed a dog attack asdnother dog but he went up to smell Dakota and in my opinion her reaction triggers the dog
Gigi Mosa Nice try. Someone with PTSD would not think about small talk, because they would be having an attack. Also, why would you even TRY to lie about that? Service dogs (REAL ones) are trained for a long period of time, and therefore would be strictly trained to only pay attention to their owners. If the dog is in training, it is supposed to have confirmation on its vest. It is also illegal to have any pet off leash, and someone who has paid and own a service dog would know and obey that. "Nice people", as you mentioned, would not just walk away and ignore people. That dog was in no way trained.
My grandma has a service dog because she has no kneecaps and other medical problems but anyways we were christmas shopping in target and another 'service dog' starts running towards us and reminder MY GRANDMA DOESNT HAVE KNEECAPS so she cant just run infront of Daisy (our dog) so I quickly run infront of them and the dog bit my shin. The owners of the other dog were like "you scared her" Thats how I got someone banned from Target
Good on you!! Stupid fake service dogs your should get given a license for having a service dog or a badge from the council or something if it’s a real one
The guy had a fake service dog and literally had the audacity to tell you to get over it. The nerve of some people is just unbelievable 🙄. Dakota did a great job and I hope you stay safe ♥️.
That's unbelievable. I hate how he was telling you to "Act human" and "Just keep walking". Like, if you're trying to pass your dog off as a service dog, at least train It! On another note, Dakota is beautiful and so well behaved ♡♡♡ I very much need a service dog of my own, but they're far too expensive. Hopefully one day.
I'm looking into getting a service dog for PTSD, Bipolar disorder, and Anxiety disorders. I got matched with a golden retriever. I can't wait to meet her!
My husky is currently in training for ptsd/anxiety related work and I’d just like to say that you were very brave to get in the line of danger for your pup. I was shaking just watching this and I truly hope that this can be used to educate people, and help some understand that this is real. This stuff really does happen, and it’s harming people. So proud of you and Dakota.
Jody Doherty smh Lexie thought the dog would hurt Dakota, Dakota is her lifeline, you can not speak for someone else at all, so fuck off if you are going to leave these types of comments, thank you.
People need to STOP disrespecting real service dogs by sneaking their dog in by putting s service dog vest on! Soon when someone with PTSD is about to have a episode and their service dog is about to help and then a random faker just says " WoW NiCe AcTiNg FaKer " things could get real bad quickly.
Any animal your attached to can be an ESA, you don't train ESA's, only therapy/service dogs/animals need to be trained, however, you can't bring ESA'S places with you. (ESA is emotional support animal). ESA'S usually just help reduce stress bc being around an animal you're very attached to reduces stress.
@@dracoslittlesister5703 EMA's? You can't, they have to be actual service animals, they have to have the vest and be registered as service animals, or service animals in training.
Regardless of her reaction the other dog should be on a leash. Period. Even if she didn’t have PTSD, you have people who are simply afraid of animals. Your rights do not trump theirs. Keep your dog on a leash. I have had to call SPCA and even the police a few times to enforce leash laws because people have their dogs unleashed in parks/cities where there are leash laws. I’m all for you walking your animals but have respect for others who may not want to come into contact with them, and leash them.
Danni Sapp it isnt illegal for a service dog to not have a leash, as for if the person has a hesart problem or seizure the elast could harm them or the dog depending on how serious it is
big man on campus it is illegal for a service dog to not be under the complete control of Its owner. Leashed or not the dog should not leave its owner s side. This is grounds to ask even a legitimate one to leave
Same my mom called animal control and (I think) the police on this person’s dog that attacked my dogs,bit my mom and broke my dog’s collar and my dog got loose and me and my neighbor’s brother and me had to chase him down and we tried his old collar and it fell off causing him to run again and at the guy’s home with his dog so we go and catch my dog and my mom is trying really hard to hold my Great Dane and mutt so they don’t run into the street and we finally catch him put my other dog’s collar on him and then we put his leash back on and went home. These are the dangers of having your dog off a leash and also the guy just watched it happen and started to confert his dog when my dog is running off in his yard my mom is bleeding and my sister is at home crying.What a jerk he is.
You are 100% valid in your reaction to what happened ! People don’t understand that faking a service dog CAN put your life and other peoples lives who have service dogs in danger. Girl I teared up listening to you cry too. I have ptsd with confrontation and it takes me a long time to calm down after things like that happening. I’m so proud of you (and you should be so proud) for being vocal and defending your dog!!
I’m not even mad at that dog. After all, it was never trained, and was never taught that that was the wrong thing to do. So, it was just acting out of instinct to go investigate the other dog in its presence. What I am mad at, though, is that other owner. They were endangering others by bringing their untrained pet into the store. They were very selfish and inconsiderate.
The dude holding the "service dogs" head down i felt rlly bad for the poor doggo god why cant people be honest and nice Edit: i felt so bad for her im crying
What happened was unacceptable. It's definitely not a real service dog. First, the dog has no manners of a service dog, it doesn't even act like it lacks of training, because it NEVER got any training. Second, the way the man dealt with the dog running away is also proof it's a fake SD. When you need such a dog, I don't think you react so cool about that dog running around instead of focusing on you. And once again a SD doesn't run away out of nowhere to rush over another dog
FORTNUT urgh. I'm sure you're someone clever, but on that case, you're not being like it. First, passing a dog as a service dog is fraud, literally. And it gives a harder time for real trainers and their *real* service dog. Second, ptsd, depression and anxiety are something serious, you don't say someone is crazy because of that, even if you apparently don't understand her reaction, the least you could do is respect her. On that note, have a good day :)
my monster high family I get it but I have a police dog and dogs come up to it and nobody cares it’s normal dogs are curious it was a little bit of a freak out but I understand she has ptsd
my monster high family and there’s the fact that service dog or not, if you have your pet in public, it’s your responsibility and you need to have control of it at all times. And in the case of reactive animals, don’t take them out! My two border collies are extremely reactive so we only take them out for the vet and to go to a doggy daycare when my family goes on vacation.
FORTNUT Service dogs are specifically trained to ignore all other dogs and people, and if they lack this training they either already aren't or don't deserve to be a service dog.
to be honest I don't know why people would bring fake service dog's in shops for attention or something I mean at least get your dog trained before bringing it somewhere when there can be real service dogs
A lot of people with PTSD have it because they were beaten within an inch of their life at some point. That man was a total loser. "calm down lady".... What trash.
It almost seemed like the guy with the fake service dog was following and trying to bother you two. Disgrace!! Dakota is so gorgeous and well-handled and I'm glad she is of proper usage.
CyrusCyberdog Cyroi malls usually loop. I doubt he was intentionally following her they just ended up at the same place multiple times. It happens all the time you just don’t notice because there’s nothing to grab your attention like a dog would or a big floppy purple hat ya know?
the guy with the “fake service dog” wasn’t trying to get in they’re way if anything she was trying to get a reaction that’s why she started recording when she walked by the other dog , and before he was holding the dog down
CyrusCyberdog Cyroi dakota was extremely well behaved and handled, of course. but i seriously doubt this ‘man with the fake service dog’ was following her. i mean, that’s a bit of a stretch. have you ever been in a normal-sized mall? many loop and/or have one long main “hallway” with different hallways of stores branching from them. when i’m at the mall, i know i pass the same people multiple times. it’s actually very easy to do so.
Maybe people with real service dogs should start carrying a permit or something that police or authority can ask to see, like animal ID cards (ones that can't be forged, of course). In general, I don't think people should be able to take "service" animals into places willy-nilly in case they're fake so stuff like this and worse doesn't happen to people with real service animals.
decap bro they do have ID cards but US law does not allow us to ask to see registration papers. The only time we're allowed to challenge the dog is if they are clearly misbehaving and posing a threat to other patrons or not with their "handler" that needs the dog.
Extremely often. I work at a public park that doesn't allow dogs, and we get so many people who say their dogs are service dogs when they very clearly are not. We get them at least once a month, often once a week. There's nothing we can do about it either.
It will only be abused just like the vests which were intended to be used as ID identifying true service dogs. Now the abuse of vests is rampant. So many people today with no regard for doing what is right or upholding laws.
Even if the dog was in training the guy should of at least been apologetic and explained himself, he shouldn’t of got annoyed when he was the one in the wrong
Jorjibaby She had an illness than makes her be a little dramatic sometimes,but it’s not her fault. If you actually watched the video you would know that.
Can anyone pls tell me why these girls need a service dog? I don't see what's wrong with them. I'm new to this channel so i don't know anything about these girls lol
These comments are so inaccurate I have a service dog and when I’m walking around when a fake service dog or any dog lunges at my dog I fear it’s going to attack it. I can’t go anywhere, I can’t even walk my dog because of how many people fake service dogs or they know they have an aggressive one and let it near my dog. I’ve had one actually bite my dog so for her to act in that way and because of her past and said she has PTSD she reacted in the way that she could react. You guys don’t get it even just me going down the street with my dog I could get a panic attack thinking it gonna die or get hurt and I won’t be strong enough to fight it off. That guy should of just explained , apologize or something even if you don’t think it was his fault he still let go of the leash the dog was barking which proves it even more. You could see him holding it down which goes even further that he knew it would react negatively. Service dogs are trained to stay calm and near their person. So no she didn’t act over dramatic even if you think she did she wasn’t in the wrong, taking your legitimate service dog to the mall should be a full paranoid episode every time.
Noemi Kun I agree with you, and I’m just now reading some of these, and I’m very angry and annoyed with the people that are saying that the dog didn’t lunge at her, when clearly it did. I don’t own a service dog, but I know the difference between a dog lunging at you to attack, or to play. I’ve been lunged at by a family members dog, and I was scared. She had every damn right to yell at that fake service dog owner. For those that don’t know the difference, they are probably not dog owners in my opinion
You can't take your dog for a walk because there are people who pretend their pet dog is a service dog? How do you take your dog for a walk with all the other people out there who just have regular pet dogs?
I dont care if the dog looked aggressive or not, having another dog run up is always scary. My dog could be 150 pounds and if a 3 pound chihuahua runs up it's scary. You never how that other animal will behave. And you don't always know how your dog will react.
Brittnie Love okay you could’ve used like something a little bigger than a chihuahua because I’m sorry but if you’re scared of a 3 pound chihuahua then idk what’s good with you..
@@reinaldo-5751 it's not about the actual fear of a chihuahua. You clearly didn't understand my point. Any animal that comes running towards your animal no matter the size is always scary. You don't know how the animal will react.
@@reinaldo-5751 the chihuahua literally does not matter. If you would actually read my actual comment and my reply you would realize that. I don't understand how much simpler I can make this. You do not know how any other animal will react. I used the chihuahua as an example. It doesn't matter how big or small an animal approaches your pet. You dont know the temper of that other animal. If you are still hooked on the whole chihuahua thing then you really need to reread my now two responses along with my original comment. Anyone who owns an animal will understand what I mean. Did that help?
There’s this one guy who always goes to a store by me that I go to and he is a service dog and I’m very respectful and don’t look at him or interact with him but the guy said you may pet her I just have to give her a command but people were just running up letting her and made her nervous I felt bad
Eva Smiljanić ya some dogs have no sense what so ever and need to get properly trained I have a dog and she is not a Service dog but she is sooooooooooo well behaved
BeanieBooDougiexx agreed, i dont blame the dog for a single thing. The owners aren't training it properly, or if they are it's too early for her to go to a mall. this is all on them.

My dog isn't nearly as well trained as Dakota but at least I can control her if it gets out of hand. That dude didn't do jack shit and I'm willing to bet he let go of the leash on his own or just didn't care enough to keep a grip. My dog stays physically tethered to me with a "hands free" leash. It can be inconvenient at times but is one of the many kinds of leashes I use for the variety of things I need to do with my service dog. Personally I'd like to teach her off leash support some day but that will be far into the future after she perfects a few more tasks. I've seen alot of things on RUclips recently that I realized would be a major help but it will take time to add all these to her repoitire. After all, she has her paws full with just a few tasks. She helps with so many different aspects that idk how a single dog can do them all and she's actively learning more too. I know most service dogs are for disabilities you can't see but I think we all saw his disability: Assholeism. His dog: fake, probably; untainted, to the max.
My dog: real and task oriented; trained exceptionally for everyday activities and places, medium for oddities in everyday activities and places, potentially unprepared for new activities and places (such as an airport of which she's never been to any before, eek my anxiety is high in anticipation for that trip).

That was obviously a fake service dog and it shouldn't have done what it did. The owner should have had the dog under control.
You shouldnt say to calm down when your distracting a service dog. They have to be there and alert, and letting another dog distract them is not okay.
Not only that, she has PTSD and another condition (I can’t remember the name) that will cause her to act out and maybe overreact. She *can’t* down. And I don’t blame her for crying. I would too.

Maryetta Graves This is actually kinda tricky because an EMOTIONAL support dog does not actually need to be trained any specific way. Nearly any domestic pet qualifies for ESA registration, including dogs, cats, birds, mice, rabbits, snakes, ferrets, pigs, and many more. Most important, your pet does NOT have to be trained to perform a task. That's because the very presence of your pet helps your emotional/mental disability.
So this means that persons dog could have very well been an EMOTIONAL support service dog. 🤷♀️ just saying
Maryetta Graves you spelled service wrong
I totally agree with Maryetta Graves

Recently my dog attacked my 5 year old neighbor. She is the sweetest girl, and I cried really hard that day because I thought that the health department would take her away from me. She’s not aggressive at all, but she had little training as a pup, because we live in a place where you don’t meet 100 new people every week. Just goes to show that even if your dog is sweet, if it’s poorly trained DO NOT put it in a situation where there are many people/animals because not everyone knows how sweet your pup is.
Hope you get training for your dog and yourself soon as possible , you're very lucky that your dog was not put down, sounds just horrifying the dog could attack a 5 year old and keep it leashed all the time.
Cause a lot of people think their smarter than the law and love to do want they want to do.

@@karinarevenko5006 His dog is wearing a vest which clearly states Service Dog on the side of it, implying it is being passed off as one. Unfortunately the video isn't clear enough to show the words but they both verbally state what's written on the side of the vest multiple times.
It is clearly just a regular dog in its behaviour. Service dogs are trained to listen to commands, not stray off, do tasks specific to the individual owner, and ignore distractions, among other things. This dog quickly lost focus on the woman he had started to follow and made a beeline for Dakota, had to be held and pulled away, began barking at them. Not to mention he would not have needed to pin the dog down in the first clip showing this dog if it were an actual service animal (the slow recap shows a firm grip to the dogs head, not any form of petting).
Alexander she has emotional issues like many others, you don’t know what she struggles with so please be respectful, anything can trigger someone
My friend has a service dog cause she has diabetes and we where at the mall with our other friends and someone’s “service dog” was trying to attack her service dog it was so sad the dog was trying to alert her but the dog kept barking and jumping!🐕🦺
This actually scares me because I have type 1 and don’t feel changes in my blood sugar and have been trying to talk to my parents about self training a diabetic alert dog and I’m afraid of some morons false service dog attacking.
The service dog was clearly not real because the second it noticed Dakota it literally started barking and that is not how the service should act I just hope that you and Dakota are ok
Right! It hurts me that she started crying :(
Yes your so right
It could have been one in training, but in that stage it shouldn’t bark at all
Sophiahorsetrainer 13 they would not let the dog bark
Brooklyn Gilchrist-Hunter what does the dog need to save them from and plus you can tell the dogs not serious because he’s wagging his tail so they should not let they dog bark so they don’t even know how to train a service dog but they would let the dog bark and bite for safety reasons
To people saying “it could have been a service dog in training “ no, because service dogs “in training” have to have that on their vest. They also have to know basic commands such as stay, sit, listen..ect.
That dog I can guarantee you isn’t a service dog, nor is a dog in training. Service dogs start training as PUPPIES and if they show aggression towards other dogs like that dog did, then they are kicked from the program. That dog was definitely showing aggressive behavior.
I agree....
People that train real service dogs typically tell the owners of the establishment that the dog is in fact in training. They also might wear a that says in training. Lastly, a real trainer of a real service dog would have understood the lady's reaction and not said stop over reacting and all the other stuff he said. He would probably apologized and said this dognis in training. So therefore... I say that dog was not in training not a real service dog and the man was not a trainer!.
Service dog or not,the guy should not have let go of the leach !
let me clear this up for you, since you obviously have no clue as to what you are saying. A service dog OR service dog in training do NOT have to be vested. Also, most service dogs do not start training unitl between 18mo and 2yrs of age. Now, before you respond with yet another "know it all" ignorant statement, this is what I do for a living. I will definitely agree that that animal in the video is not a service dog, however, ALL service dogs have to begin their training somewhere. I can recall at least 3 animals Ive trained that had rough starts to socialization in their public access training. All thus far have turned out to be excellent working animals.
@@SwiggitySwagDopeInTheBag if you read my comment I used the word "typically" and "might". I did not say it was definitive. However in this particular case, I still dont think it was in training because I true trainer would have more control over the dog. Heck, I would have had more control and I am not a trainer.. additionally, the owner would or at least should have said something like " sorry he is in training" in anstrsd of being the asswipe he was.

Chloeex Um, he can’t. Especially if he’s not sure the dog won’t go after anybody, or a dog for this matter. Such a populated area, with a dog like his, can put other service dogs (like Lexis) in danger. And also cause an unnecessary episode.
For anyone who tells you to "Act Human", they've just proven their own lack of intelligence. From what I saw, you're Service Dog did the exact thing he/she should do.

Your friend is amazing, too.
1 if its a service dog it would be way more behaved. 2 If you plan to bring it in public at all it has to be trained how to act to ppl and dogs.Dakota is a good example of a service dog. I am so sorry this had happened to you.
Toritheweeb VA. True
You guys saying that Dakota would have been fine and could kill that dog, yes she could but she would no longer be a service dog. Once they get in a fight like that they take the dog out of service. That's thousands of dollars wasted. That's why these fakes are an issue.
PREACH PREACH PREACH. After this incident it took Dakota months to be okay enough to work around other dogs. She couldn’t focus when a large pet dog was barking at her in public. Still to this day if she’s caught off guard by a large dog while she’s working she gets startled and feels like she has to watch her back. She is not reactive, we have worked with other service dogs and she’s fine. It’s just when they bark like the one in the video where she gets started and takes a second to refocus on me. She never had this problem before.

@@soulechelon2643 I have Borderline Personality Disorder and/or CPTSD (health pros can't seem to decide). My daily experience is similar to hers in many ways, all I have sympathy, just to start with that.
What I don't have is a dog, or anything else, to warn mw when my emotional shit is about to hit the fan. I have had to make due with psychological and emotional mediation skills such as CBT and mindfulness techniques etc.
This isn't to make a direct comparison because no rational person would do that, everyone had differing factors that play into their issues and recovery/mediation efforts.
I only mention my issues because through them and my efforts to deal with them- I have a key good idea of how much it sucks to live with that sort of disability, and I have more sympathy than it overtly seems like I do. However, at the same time, because of my personal experiences and beliefs, I also strongly believe in personal responsibility.
It's not society's fault we're like this, it's not ours either to be clear, but it's OUR burden to bear and it's unfair to expect others to make exceptions to their basic understanding of human interaction to compensate for our shortcomings.
It's a process, were all at different places in that journey, but the way this is framed is as though everyone is supposed to just Intuit the fact that we have issues, what those issues and triggers thereof are and chance their entire social expectation set, reframe experiences, and adjust responses accordingly.
That just isn't reasonable. That's my only point and I'm pretty sure that was the core idea behind what that guy was saying.
One way to, get dogs inside the store.
Fake service dogs.
Who does that, whoever fakes there service dog is such a idiot.
I don’t have one, but it’s wrong to who fake a service dog.
That is not a service dog. A service dog would have much more control. Your dog did beautifully at being in control at all times no matter what the situation. I am so sorry that happened to you.
NobodyCares There’s a big difference between a service animal and a support animal. A service animal requires classes and certificates of completion for their training. A support animal just needs basic discipline and his HUMAN caregiver requires a doctor (therapist) approval for the support animal documents that cost $150 a piece to legalise the dog for support care.
Support animals aren’t “fake” service animals. They are entirely different types

In Australia the dog HAS to have a vest on. If its a seeing eye dog a harness
If your dog is aggressive towards other dogs, it shouldn't be out in public in general, especially if you don't know how to control it. I could go on a whole tangent on that subject, but too many people fail to see that's it's not just an inconvenience towards you if your dog is that way, but also a threat to those around you.
NebularSparks You can see he is not aggressive. But it is clearly not an service dog and he could distract Dakota what is dangerous
NebularSparks but what happened then is it normal for your dog to bark at other dogs but not female dogs because I have two dogs one of them is really friendly to all dogs but the other one just barks at any dog except if it's a female
My dog act exactly like that it’s normal for dogs to bark at other dogs the reason it was being aggressive is because that’s how they play it’s not the dogs fault it’s the humans for not training it
Dakota: mom mom? Okay who do I help? Both of them are crying, tries to go in between 🤣
Guys ptsd is a serious condition. My uncle has it I believe but he doesn’t need a service dog. Whenever she saw the dog running towards Dakota it may have triggered some memories. My uncle was in the army and it’s hard to see your bestfriend die right beside you when you are at war. Certain things can trigger major mind movies which causes an extreme reaction!
Carrington Franklin my dad was in the military and no joke with his PTSD he has to be extremely drunk or his doctors give him stronger meds for the 4th of July just to make it through the fire works. He has literally had episodes where he’s blacked out and tried looking for a gun... scary shit to see

Whether it was an In-training service dog or fake one, neither should be permitted or excused in any place.
A service dog in training does NOT go into public places until the owners think the animal is trained enough to experience that level of service.
This dog was clearly a fake because the owner did not leave when the dog clearly showed it was not ready to handle a mall, or another service dog, in the first clip. The owner DISRESPECTFULLY stayed in the mall and held the dog's head down so it wouldn't notice Dakota. Red flag right there!
If it had been one In-training, the owner would have apologized the first time and left the mall to begin with.
She started screaming and accusing him before he could even apologize and there isn’t really a training requirement just a leash requirement at least in my state
Holding a dog’s head down is a training technique literally just search it up
They do go to public while in training. I got to witness service dogs being trained how to be in public. It was a group of owners and one person who guided the owners on giving commands for public places and would tell others who would distract the service dogs to stop and go away that way the owners wouldn't have to since they are learning also. It was quite a cool thing to witness. I ended up in the elevator with them leaving a parking structure so this is how I was able to witness all of this :)
Savvy Sunsparrow service dogs in trading do not act like that at all, and they are trained as puppies, you can clearly tell it’s a fake service dog
gabrielle a service dog in training does not act like that, you’re actually supposed to train them as puppies and if they act like that at the school thingy they can get kicked out
It was NOT a dog in training a dog in training would know basic commands stay, sit ext. That specific dog showed signs of being hostile and aggressive dogs start training as puppies and if they showed signs of being the slightest bit of aggression it wouldn’t be able to be a service dog.

Im pretty sure anyone would be angry if they didn't know she had ptsd. If someone that i didn't know that she had ptsd i would definitely. Be pissed off. But they shouldn't be snitching on the other dog for being friendly.
@Johnny Klutcharch
Finally someone who has a brain, thank you!
@@johnnyklutcharch5891 It is the job of a legitimately trained service dog to ignore other dogs- this can be a reason for failure of SD training. It's not 'snitching' when it's a legitimate public safety concern.
@@kishaprime9 its still snitching. Its like getting jumped a really big safety concern but no one says snitches its just the way it goes deal with business yourself. And the way i see it is that I bet those people need expected to run into someone with ptsd and a service dog like the odds are like a million to 1. You have to understand that. Like I've almost never see service dogs the fact that they crossed paths is wack.
Service dogs are held to a very high standard... There is nothing wrong with how you reacted considering that SO many dogs go through rigorous training so these dogs should be very well behaved. I️m glad that you have such an amazing service dog that really sets a good standard for others.
Thank you for posting this. I have PTSD and a service dog too. I react the same when confrontation happens. I shout and start shaking then cry. I always hated myself for reacting in that way but I now know im not alone and its common with PTSD. I just need to focus on Chowser and not the hostile person in the situation. Its so hard to control anger and fear but DPT helps. Thank you for this.
2020 has been tough on everyone. Over the last two months, I have broken down 3 times. I can't imagine with PTSD. Nothing wrong with breaking down. It just means you have to pick yourself back up, but only when you're ready.
We'll get through this.
You need to be trained with your service dog. The proper training will help you learn to focus when having melt down, the training will also give your dog training on what to do if the situation occurs. Wish you the best of luck
Sweet heart... never apologise about getting emotional over your service dog! You were worried she was going to get hurt!

@Marcy Davis Even service dogs training in public have extensive training at home/with professionals before public training. If there is a "service dog" in public that acts like that, then they are for sure not a service dog. A service dog in training is still extremely well behaved when taken out in public for real life training. Source: I have a friend who is a therapy dog trainer and I assist her sometimes.
Gillian Gross I use a service dog and agree that the dog in the green vest was wrong. But the dog in the red vest earlier in the video’s handler did not do anything other than act surprised and showed some interest in the other dog. It’s owner had the dog under control and did not deserve the tirade they got.
True but you do not have to have any medical document from a doctor to make your dog a service animal, you can literally pay $85 to register your dog... still wrong but you can do it..
Devon Gardner Those are fake registries, anyone with a real owner trained service dog should know this and should know what the federal laws are. We do not need to show proof of disability or certification of our service dogs because that would be a violation of our civil rights. I should not have to provide paperwork to enter a business plain and simple. Unless every other person in the U.S.A. needs to show ID.

if its not "train properly" it's not a service dog, plain and simple
depends on the state. some states say if they are in training or are/ may be trained as a service dog. leaving it to the dog has to attack someone to be told to get out. it's badly written laws that do not really set a clear standard. @@wutgreens443

The dog's behavior was a result of that guy's training, yeah. The issue is with him, not the dog; that issue goes beyond just service dogs though, and into a blatant lack of socialization. Even if the dog WAS socialized, it's still not okay to pass it off as a service dog; he just wanted to take his pet to the mall.
does she say get that shit out of here or did I hear wrong. Cuz if she did she shouldn't be calling an animal that it's not its fault it's the owners fault

Not true. Me and my partner have severe PTSD and don't act that way... It's only opinion.
I understand but not everyone with PTSD acts the same way. Some have it really bad and act different in different situations. Someone could have it but not as bad and act totally different. For example, I have a PTSD from being attacked by a dog at the age of four. But even after it attacked me I stilled love the dog and other dogs. I was still kinda scared one would attack me but I pushed through with it. I have more reasons that cause PTSD that make me act differently depending on the situation I’m in.🙂 and that is the same with everyone. Everyone acts different in different situations because we are all different people.🙃

All I can say is this, there are ALOT of people walking around that R BLIND & ILLITERATE bcuz his patches are LARGE AND VERY VISIBLE from the front, rear and both sides!
Well, i will never understand how someone cannot see how a legit service dog behaviour differ from a pet with a vest, the focus of your sweet and beautiful husky on you and the nearly instant answer to your orders is clearly a sign of a "working" dog.
The problem is, there is no laws that have to make you prove your dog is a service dog in the US. In other parts of the world you have to take your dog for testing before you can even think about service work, but here in the US anyone can go online and order a fake badge. Then when they go into a store you can only ask to questions, which can easily be lied about. So even if the dog is misbehaving....etc they cant ask. Now they have changed a few laws in last few years that says if a service dog is pooping, peeing, lots of barking and over all misbehaving to a point it could endanger the public the manager may ask them to leave.
I can understand how that's a problem, in the country I live in, those kind of thing are very strict, you need an official accreditation to be allowed to use or train a service dog.
There's an official training school for service dogs dedicated to blind persons in my town so we often see trainers familiarizing the dogs with crowds.
Still there's such a huge gap of behaviour between a trained dog and a simple pet that it should be doable for security in the malls to be able to distinguish, maybe with a few lessons from a professional.
Well many people are fearful of asking someone to leave with a service animal just it case it was a real service animal. Even through trained service animal would never do that. I train service dogs and all of them go through a huge process even before we start training. Many trainers are jumping on this boat wagon and doing it for money and not the dog or the handler, and never train the dog right.
girl it means so much to me that you don’t edit out when you get triggered even if the response is angry, it really has helped me realize it’s a natural response and it is okay to not cut out your reactions even when displaying behavior. the fact that you can acknowledge it and know it was wrong and move on like, it makes me feel so much less alone bc i don’t find myself as an angry person but when triggered, i can get pretty bad and that’s one thing i really struggle with, you made me realize, it’s okay. i’m not a bad person. :) thanks for your content
I don’t like to comment often - but all the hate you’re getting is unbelievable . You literally explained why you did what you did. It’s the same as telling a person with depression to get over it. It doesn’t work like that. When I have an episode I lash out at everyone because I just can’t handle it and I do not think right. In my head, the world is ending and what I do doesn’t matter (ofc I get embarrassed after). I do not have a service dog but clearly that other dog wasn’t well trained. Can’t believe these other people.
Dahlipop I’m a fan
Your comment makes my exact point though. You say you get embarrassed after, and so do I, but she shows zero remorse, even though this is after the fact of the actual 'attack'. Undoubtedly long enough to have your rational thinking capabilities back
You should get a service dog, i really recomend it. It will help a lot, if their well trained it will make you feel much more comfortable then without one.

illegal.
edit: to have an untrained fake service dog. real service dogs don't attack other service dogs on purpose.
Its only illegal if the store says its illegal to have pets inside, otherwise it doesn't matter at all.
The only entity allowed to decide if an animal is truly a service dog is a judge in a courtroom. Refusing service and/or being rude to a service Dog and handler is not only unprofessional behavior, but it is illegal at both state and federal levels.

I know, right? I'm a hobby writer and had an idea about a character with a service dog, so I researched a bunch of suff, including legalities, requirements, and when someone with one can be refused service, i.e. the dog is out of control or aggressive. It was really interesting and I actually changed a few things about the character because of what I found out. The story kind of fizzled, but the info has still been useful when I encounter people with service animals.
I have a husky like her but i dont take him with me much only to familys i have to have someone with me at all times tho because i do pass out i have something called potts but. I would never take my dog and fake him as a service dog thats just wrong to do
I had a friend who was quite a bit younger then me so I was more like an auntie figure to her but she had major flashback seizures and I started being able to sense her episodes quite effectively so I always told her I know she would be able to find a service dog to alert her!
It wasn't right for them to fake a service dog!! And not have it on a leash! Ugh it makes me mad to see that..
Dakota is a well trained service dog and stayed calm during the situation I give her a round of applause 👏👏
Adamari Alvarez Dakota is a girl btw😊 but I agree
Adamari Alvarez and the fact that that guy didn’t truly apologize, shows that he knew he didn’t have a real service dog.
Please don't assume the worst. The dog did have a leash and some people fake service dogs because they need them but cannot afford them. Or it could have been a service dog in training. You don't know that dog or the owner so, you shouldn't assume that he did anything wrong.
Service Dogs in training should have a vest that states its in training. It shouldn't have a vest like that. My neighbor and our good friend has a service dog in training and it clearly sates on her vest
Kiara the warrior they said she not he???
Same thing happened to my service dog except the other “service dog” was really aggressive and tried to bite my dog!😡 I told security at the mall and they kicked out the people which made me feel a little less anxiety. But just seeing you go through the same thing really breaks my heart and no one should experience this because it can be really scary. Btw your dog handled that really well and that really helps in these situations.

Probably it’s a Kevin
I’ve been on the bus while this kind of thing happened. I self trained my dog and as soon as she was ready I took her on the bus. She was really good on the bus and alerted me everytime I needed to calm myself. After a few months of good experiences (apart from a few harmless fake dogs) a woman came of with a very excited pit mix. The bus driver asked to normal Qs and got the bogus answer, it was apparently a service dog. It then saw Maggie (my service dog) and lunged. The dog ripped her harness off her and then went for her again. I collapsed and had an attack. Maggie quickly recovered and later on top of me to soothe me. The bus service went out of their way to help me but I was shaking to much to respond. The woman was banned from the bus but never even apologized. She actually said it wasn’t that big a deal!! Her harness was in two pieces and I was on the floor!! And IT WASNT A BIG DEAL! I hate people like that!!

Because some people are so sick and idiotic, and yes, it is a disgrace but I guess it will never change. Sad how people act these days.
You dont know what the dog was going to do she stepped in front of it before it could do anything
Gigi Mosa Nice try. Someone with PTSD would not think about small talk, because they would be having an attack. Also, why would you even TRY to lie about that? Service dogs (REAL ones) are trained for a long period of time, and therefore would be strictly trained to only pay attention to their owners. If the dog is in training, it is supposed to have confirmation on its vest. It is also illegal to have any pet off leash, and someone who has paid and own a service dog would know and obey that. "Nice people", as you mentioned, would not just walk away and ignore people. That dog was in no way trained.
Ppl are so dumb to pretend to have a survive dog when another legit service dog could get injured >=(
My grandma has a service dog because she has no kneecaps and other medical problems but anyways we were christmas shopping in target and another 'service dog' starts running towards us and reminder MY GRANDMA DOESNT HAVE KNEECAPS so she cant just run infront of Daisy (our dog) so I quickly run infront of them and the dog bit my shin.

On another note, Dakota is beautiful and so well behaved ♡♡♡ I very much need a service dog of my own, but they're far too expensive. Hopefully one day.
This is true but they shouldn't be trying to pass their dog off as a service dog anyway because that's illegal
Hatsune Miku 101 I think you're missing the point that Lexie has PTSD and it set her off, so it wasn't her fault. She couldn't just be calm
The dude said “act human” but what kind of human with a sane mind pretend to have a service dog?
Yanbeare I agree but does her friend have some kind of sickness because,she was yelling at the guy too.
Incredibly Baked Potato in Australia we have service dogs trained and given to people with need for free.
The victim blaming "just keep walking lady" had me so triggered. Like ffs.
I hope security were able to do something ❤
I'm looking into getting a service dog for PTSD, Bipolar disorder, and Anxiety disorders. I got matched with a golden retriever. I can't wait to meet her!
Happy for you!
Golden retrievers are so cutee
Victory Lemonade :D Nice! I love Golden Retrievers! I’d like to get one but to train it to be a therapy dog
I hope you like her!
How much is she going to cost?
My husky is currently in training for ptsd/anxiety related work and I’d just like to say that you were very brave to get in the line of danger for your pup. I was shaking just watching this and I truly hope that this can be used to educate people, and help some understand that this is real. This stuff really does happen, and it’s harming people. So proud of you and Dakota.
Pickle poor pickle smh
I hope you stay strong!
Jody Doherty smh Lexie thought the dog would hurt Dakota, Dakota is her lifeline, you can not speak for someone else at all, so fuck off if you are going to leave these types of comments, thank you.
People need to STOP disrespecting real service dogs by sneaking their dog in by putting s service dog vest on! Soon when someone with PTSD is about to have a episode and their service dog is about to help and then a random faker just says " WoW NiCe AcTiNg FaKer " things could get real bad quickly.
Or "aCt hUmAN."
Eh.. or ‘GeT A LiFe And StOp Faking YoO fAkEr!’ And ‘GeT yOuR FaKe SeRvIcE DoG OuTtA My ToTalLy ReAl sErViCe dOg’s FaCe’
I know that my ptsd would’ve fucking flew through the fucking window. I would’ve gone up to security and fucking sue him
I need a dog for emotional support sometimes when I cry I lose breath and can't breath
Any animal your attached to can be an ESA, you don't train ESA's, only therapy/service dogs/animals need to be trained, however, you can't bring ESA'S places with you. (ESA is emotional support animal). ESA'S usually just help reduce stress bc being around an animal you're very attached to reduces stress.
@@Oh...1tsSeven but then why can you bring them in schools?
@@dracoslittlesister5703 EMA's? You can't, they have to be actual service animals, they have to have the vest and be registered as service animals, or service animals in training.
8:16 is when the attack starts just incase if you were wondering lol
Thanks your a god
You are the good in the world,
That wasn’t an attack...
Thank you
Lol thx
Regardless of her reaction the other dog should be on a leash. Period. Even if she didn’t have PTSD, you have people who are simply afraid of animals. Your rights do not trump theirs. Keep your dog on a leash. I have had to call SPCA and even the police a few times to enforce leash laws because people have their dogs unleashed in parks/cities where there are leash laws. I’m all for you walking your animals but have respect for others who may not want to come into contact with them, and leash them.
Danni Sapp this freaking dog should not even be there
Danni Sapp it isnt illegal for a service dog to not have a leash, as for if the person has a hesart problem or seizure the elast could harm them or the dog depending on how serious it is
big man on campus it is illegal for a service dog to not be under the complete control of Its owner. Leashed or not the dog should not leave its owner s side. This is grounds to ask even a legitimate one to leave
There was a leash at most points? Are you blind human
Same my mom called animal control and (I think) the police on this person’s dog that attacked my dogs,bit my mom and broke my dog’s collar and my dog got loose and me and my neighbor’s brother and me had to chase him down and we tried his old collar and it fell off causing him to run again and at the guy’s home with his dog so we go and catch my dog and my mom is trying really hard to hold my Great Dane and mutt so they don’t run into the street and we finally catch him put my other dog’s collar on him and then we put his leash back on and went home.
These are the dangers of having your dog off a leash and also the guy just watched it happen and started to confert his dog when my dog is running off in his yard my mom is bleeding and my sister is at home crying.What a jerk he is.
“Act human” he says 😡😡😡
How about he gets an education on what that’s like for someone? No apology or anything!!! Infuriating beyond words
You are 100% valid in your reaction to what happened ! People don’t understand that faking a service dog CAN put your life and other peoples lives who have service dogs in danger. Girl I teared up listening to you cry too. I have ptsd with confrontation and it takes me a long time to calm down after things like that happening. I’m so proud of you (and you should be so proud) for being vocal and defending your dog!!
I’m not even mad at that dog. After all, it was never trained, and was never taught that that was the wrong thing to do. So, it was just acting out of instinct to go investigate the other dog in its presence. What I am mad at, though, is that other owner. They were endangering others by bringing their untrained pet into the store. They were very selfish and inconsiderate.
I agree! I'm really mad at the owner too
Ikr its the owner
The dude holding the "service dogs" head down i felt rlly bad for the poor doggo god why cant people be honest and nice
Edit: i felt so bad for her im crying
Naomi Daley it looked like he was just petting it like in the slow mo you could see the dude wiggling his fingers
i heard that dog crying
What happened was unacceptable. It's definitely not a real service dog. First, the dog has no manners of a service dog, it doesn't even act like it lacks of training, because it NEVER got any training. Second, the way the man dealt with the dog running away is also proof it's a fake SD. When you need such a dog, I don't think you react so cool about that dog running around instead of focusing on you. And once again a SD doesn't run away out of nowhere to rush over another dog
my monster high family maybe it wasn’t a real service dog but it did nothing bad until it barked because the lady freaked out
FORTNUT urgh. I'm sure you're someone clever, but on that case, you're not being like it. First, passing a dog as a service dog is fraud, literally. And it gives a harder time for real trainers and their *real* service dog. Second, ptsd, depression and anxiety are something serious, you don't say someone is crazy because of that, even if you apparently don't understand her reaction, the least you could do is respect her. On that note, have a good day :)
my monster high family I get it but I have a police dog and dogs come up to it and nobody cares it’s normal dogs are curious it was a little bit of a freak out but I understand she has ptsd
my monster high family and there’s the fact that service dog or not, if you have your pet in public, it’s your responsibility and you need to have control of it at all times. And in the case of reactive animals, don’t take them out! My two border collies are extremely reactive so we only take them out for the vet and to go to a doggy daycare when my family goes on vacation.
FORTNUT Service dogs are specifically trained to ignore all other dogs and people, and if they lack this training they either already aren't or don't deserve to be a service dog.
to be honest I don't know why people would bring fake service dog's in shops for attention or something I mean at least get your dog trained before bringing it somewhere when there can be real service dogs
The man with the fake service dog pissed me off SO MUCH
Yeah ikr
Noelle Balman me to
A lot of people with PTSD have it because they were beaten within an inch of their life at some point. That man was a total loser. "calm down lady".... What trash.
GetYour Fix I mean she can get mad but she kind of have to calm down instead of yelling everywhere
You have no right to remove value to anyone's life by calling them "trash". Disgusting.
It almost seemed like the guy with the fake service dog was following and trying to bother you two. Disgrace!! Dakota is so gorgeous and well-handled and I'm glad she is of proper usage.
CyrusCyberdog Cyroi malls usually loop. I doubt he was intentionally following her they just ended up at the same place multiple times. It happens all the time you just don’t notice because there’s nothing to grab your attention like a dog would or a big floppy purple hat ya know?
I don't think he was following her either, but he is a piece of shit
this is a bit dramatic lmao
the guy with the “fake service dog” wasn’t trying to get in they’re way if anything she was trying to get a reaction that’s why she started recording when she walked by the other dog , and before he was holding the dog down
CyrusCyberdog Cyroi dakota was extremely well behaved and handled, of course. but i seriously doubt this ‘man with the fake service dog’ was following her. i mean, that’s a bit of a stretch. have you ever been in a normal-sized mall? many loop and/or have one long main “hallway” with different hallways of stores branching from them. when i’m at the mall, i know i pass the same people multiple times. it’s actually very easy to do so.
Your dog is very well trained and I commend you for that. People take fake service dogs in public all the time and it’s BS!
Wow! That's awful!
Maybe people with real service dogs should start carrying a permit or something that police or authority can ask to see, like animal ID cards (ones that can't be forged, of course). In general, I don't think people should be able to take "service" animals into places willy-nilly in case they're fake so stuff like this and worse doesn't happen to people with real service animals.
decap bro they do have ID cards but US law does not allow us to ask to see registration papers. The only time we're allowed to challenge the dog is if they are clearly misbehaving and posing a threat to other patrons or not with their "handler" that needs the dog.
How often does something like this happen though?
Extremely often. I work at a public park that doesn't allow dogs, and we get so many people who say their dogs are service dogs when they very clearly are not. We get them at least once a month, often once a week. There's nothing we can do about it either.
decap bro I AGREE!
It will only be abused just like the vests which were intended to be used as ID identifying true service dogs. Now the abuse of vests is rampant. So many people today with no regard for doing what is right or upholding laws.
You don't need to apologize for your disorder. People who have fake service dogs or fake being Ill deserve to be fined more harshly.
Even if the dog was in training the guy should of at least been apologetic and explained himself, he shouldn’t of got annoyed when he was the one in the wrong
She was the one being rude..
& she shouldn't of over reacted & caused a big unnecessary scene!
@@lauriehintz3696 she has ptsd she cant help it believe me
@@natalija8771 THANK YOU
@@wandaleekeller1894 how?
Ptsd from living an easy life and when a unleashed dog approaches omg my life is over. What a joke
Me listening to her cry:
In my head: don’t cry don’t cry DONT CRY DONT CRY
Me: *starts crying*
Llama AJ me: she didn’t even get hurt
Jorjibaby She had an illness than makes her be a little dramatic sometimes,but it’s not her fault. If you actually watched the video you would know that.
Me lmao. Hearing people cry makes me feel lile crying
Can anyone pls tell me why these girls need a service dog? I don't see what's wrong with them. I'm new to this channel so i don't know anything about these girls lol
These comments are so inaccurate I have a service dog and when I’m walking around when a fake service dog or any dog lunges at my dog I fear it’s going to attack it. I can’t go anywhere, I can’t even walk my dog because of how many people fake service dogs or they know they have an aggressive one and let it near my dog. I’ve had one actually bite my dog so for her to act in that way and because of her past and said she has PTSD she reacted in the way that she could react. You guys don’t get it even just me going down the street with my dog I could get a panic attack thinking it gonna die or get hurt and I won’t be strong enough to fight it off. That guy should of just explained , apologize or something even if you don’t think it was his fault he still let go of the leash the dog was barking which proves it even more. You could see him holding it down which goes even further that he knew it would react negatively. Service dogs are trained to stay calm and near their person. So no she didn’t act over dramatic even if you think she did she wasn’t in the wrong, taking your legitimate service dog to the mall should be a full paranoid episode every time.
*shouldnt
Noemi Kun really
Noemi Kun I agree with you, and I’m just now reading some of these, and I’m very angry and annoyed with the people that are saying that the dog didn’t lunge at her, when clearly it did. I don’t own a service dog, but I know the difference between a dog lunging at you to attack, or to play. I’ve been lunged at by a family members dog, and I was scared. She had every damn right to yell at that fake service dog owner. For those that don’t know the difference, they are probably not dog owners in my opinion
Noemi Kun I agree completely
You can't take your dog for a walk because there are people who pretend their pet dog is a service dog? How do you take your dog for a walk with all the other people out there who just have regular pet dogs?
I dont care if the dog looked aggressive or not, having another dog run up is always scary. My dog could be 150 pounds and if a 3 pound chihuahua runs up it's scary. You never how that other animal will behave. And you don't always know how your dog will react.
Brittnie Love okay you could’ve used like something a little bigger than a chihuahua because I’m sorry but if you’re scared of a 3 pound chihuahua then idk what’s good with you..
@@reinaldo-5751 it's not about the actual fear of a chihuahua. You clearly didn't understand my point. Any animal that comes running towards your animal no matter the size is always scary. You don't know how the animal will react.
Brittnie Love Which animal the one other than the chihuahua? If that’s your point then I apologize and you’re right, if not my point still stands.
@@reinaldo-5751 the chihuahua literally does not matter. If you would actually read my actual comment and my reply you would realize that. I don't understand how much simpler I can make this. You do not know how any other animal will react. I used the chihuahua as an example. It doesn't matter how big or small an animal approaches your pet. You dont know the temper of that other animal. If you are still hooked on the whole chihuahua thing then you really need to reread my now two responses along with my original comment. Anyone who owns an animal will understand what I mean. Did that help?
Thicc are you stupid lol
I go through really bad episodes like that too that i can't control from the smallest incidents. I'm thinking of getting a service dog for that.
It kills me that people would fake a service dog just to get it to come with them! >:(
By the video shots in the mall I'm 50% sure thats the mall i go to sometimes
Same but I cant remeber the name
Omg I found your comment? 😑

Can we talk about how great of a friend you have she is so supportive and amazing ❤️❤️❤️❤️
There’s this one guy who always goes to a store by me that I go to and he is a service dog and I’m very respectful and don’t look at him or interact with him but the guy said you may pet her I just have to give her a command but people were just running up letting her and made her nervous I felt bad
YOur dog is wonderful, and one hell of a service dog! It's so obvious that she's well trained. Unlike some dogs....
Eva Smiljanić ya some dogs have no sense what so ever and need to get properly trained I have a dog and she is not a Service dog but she is sooooooooooo well behaved
BOI SOME DOGS GOT A MIND OF THEIR OWN SO SIT TF DOWN
Eva Smiljanić can't blame the dog though. Owners fault
Donut Kookie calm down...
BeanieBooDougiexx agreed, i dont blame the dog for a single thing. The owners aren't training it properly, or if they are it's too early for her to go to a mall. this is all on them.
