Amy Hesler service dogs don’t have to be certified. There is no official certification or registry for service animals. They just have to be ready for public access and to be able to reliably perform at least one task that mitigates the affects of a debilitating physical or mental condition.

Rebecca Duncan omg are u Scottish

Ellie The Equestrian 34 aye why?

Rebecca Duncan you put a Scottish flag ( I’m Scottish)

Ellie The Equestrian 34 cool where about like?

Rebecca Duncan the capital

I use a tactical vest with my GSD. Other harnesses just dont seem as fitted to their body shape. They would rub in the shoulder arm pits and then be too loose on their skinny parts (mine is athletic lol). The tactical one was like...ya know GSD are usually tactical dogs, so they fit her correctly!

TJ Cole dakota is naturally really calm and quiet. She rarely barks. But a lot of training in distracting areas. The best thing I did was meetup with other teams that were more advanced in training. Dakota saw how those dogs behaved and learned the ropes. Trained to ignore them (focus command while around other calm dogs) then when around harder distractions. Just go easy and slow so you don’t stress your pup out. You want to set him up for success not failure.

The Siberian Service Dog Thanks for the reply! If I ever get my own pup I hope he/she is as well behaved as Dakota, you guys are a great team!

I’m currently training my own service dog for ptsd and anxiety and stuff like that she’s 7 months now and she’s doing really well but she’s far from being fully trained. It’s a lot of work and time on your part so if your doing it be ready. Also there’s a lot of books about training your own service animal which are good and there’s a lot of websites as well.

Unstoppable 169 thanks for your feed back!

life with mental illnesses Tanisha Clarke Hi Tanisha! I really suggest talking to your doctor and/or therapist before taking a service dog on. Having a full trained service dog can still be hard and having on in training is 2x as hard. If you have PTSD I would really wait and make sure this is an appropriate option, having a dog with you 24/7 you’ll receive positive and negative attention. I know sometimes it spikes my attacks when I hear someone saying it’s embarrassing when my dog has an accident (which it does happen especially when your training them) It’s a lot to take on. For training wise I don’t suggest claiming the dog as fully trained until after 2 1/2 years. This is when they mature and start to really work harder and take it seriously. I have a Bernese Mountain Dog who is very smart, I was able to teach him alert cues/ commands within 1 week. We didn’t do medical alert or response training til he was 4 1/2 months starting with only scratch responses and moving on to crying, coughing and twitching. I also recommend starting the dog at 8 weeks, getting and older dog can be great but it’s more work since so much of the educational brain sponge period is over. Start immediately with sit, and focus. Wait until the dog does it at least 90% of the time without distraction and 80% with a distraction (distractions can be other dogs, food on the floor, kids or adults, dropping loud objects) Than you can move on to down and stay. I prefer to teach stay and come before they are 7-8 months. When teaching down all teach Stand, let the dog know when to stand up and be ready. These are your 6 core commands for everything. Once your dog has all 6 down you can start Public access in non- pet friendly places (I still ask permission as training in a store can be very eye catching and distractions will come in masses. Also use holidays to your advantage. It’s Halloween now so many handlers including myself will go to all the Halloween shops to let our dogs do commands in front of the dog machines and pop out mechanics. It’s really a great way to train, during Christmas I’ll wave bells around the dog and have them meet Santa’s (again with permission) this allows the dog to get used to noise and large unfamiliar men in costumes. Breeds I suggest would be Labs, Golden’s, Bernese Mountain dogs, aussies( just know they are a lot of work because they are so high energy) I don’t suggest starting with Pitbulls (nothing against the breed but you may have a lot of access issues) , doodles (many have complained that dog is not self aware and fights with themselves because of identity) can be aggressive! I also don’t suggest Great Danes, though big and great for mobility they have a very short life span and you’ll only get 1-2 years out of them fully trained before retiring them. Just remember to talk to your doctors about your options and look into everything from breeds to training cost before making a decision. Goodluck! Lots of love!

@@staypawsitive1002 Thanks so much for all of your feedback! I have a appointment with mayo for the diagnostic program December 10th through the 13th. I am definitely waiting until we go to mayo for there opinion too!

I'm in the same boat as you are.

Haln Hope I’m so sorry to hear that. I hope you don’t have to wash her. Starting from scratch is so hard especially when you have already worked hard on training your dog.

Tashayla Weathers I have ptsd and dizzy/fainting spells. That’s all I talk about on my channel. But I do have other health conditions and illnesses that Dakota helps with that I have not shared yet.

Lindy East she is, they are shorts.

@@abbygalbraith6389 oh :) Thank you :)

I personally would say no because you have no idea what cause the problem the person was having and if it was from a person the sudden approach of another person may make it worse even though your being nice

Nymeria The Malinois Amazon has a few good quality vests they are not the prettiest tho so I recommend you stick with Etsy and eBay

I report all the websites and ads i see as fake and then they get taken down and i get nasty emails
