This is so fun to watch, I love how you were able to combine stylishness and practicability. I also think it’s great that you got all your gear from Disability owned shops and small businesses. I didn’t realize that Atlas had passed away, I only came up on your channel recently, I’m sorry for your loss.
I’m currently in the process of getting a service dog, but sadly I still have a lot more money I need to save. I tried a few charities, but sadly many don’t help with psychiatric service animals (ptsd)
I can tell you really love Harry Potter. Here’s a weird thing my service dogs name is potter ( soon to be retired) but I don’t watch Harry Potter. I’m not really into stuff like that 😅.
I’m an avid One Tigress User Too! I paired the one tigress working harness & zippered cape with an Arcadia Trail Harness. I braided a glow in the dark paracord grab handle that clips to her harness with Climbing Caribiners. Love seeing what other handlers use! My family thinks I’m a SD gear-aholic.... lol 😂 I have no where near the amount of gear you do! I have learned what works for me and my SD Black Lab Girl: basically from getting and trying things. Trial and error/ test driving stuff is best way. The recommendations from the SD community definitely helps tho! I’m definitely a Harry Potter Fan To! I gotta be careful tho.... you just made me want to add to my insane bandanna collection in Harry Potter themes..... Cheering you and Sirius On Always! Love From Me and Darcy Athena ❤️🐕🦺🙂
I just subscribed I have a medical alert service dog I also have a RU-vid channel keep up the great work I have a small breed because I don’t need guide work or mobility work but whenever I have encountered fake service dog the owners say your dogs doing great I’m like yea same because my dogs a real service dog
Watched like five AD gear haul videos now and feeling very inferior with my single training vest and none matching collar with a cheap non matching leash XD Just a shame about the e-collar, I don't get how anyone can justify aversive tools anyway (like prong collars) but especially on service dogs, if your dog has the training for staying in a heel or a downstay, why put these unnecessary devices on? (No hatred towards you, just sad to see this kind of thing)
while i was was watching this my service dog coco was sat with my licking my laptop screen bless her love the offwork service dogs too don't always have to be busy! :)
What do you use as your recall collar? I seen in one of your videos that you had custom collars for your recall as well I think?. Is it interchangeable?
Thanks for sharing your gear collection. Do you ever have trouble with people talking to your service dog using his name because it's written on his collar? I've resorted to giving my SD a pseudonym for when he's working because I don't like reprimanding people who have friendly intentions. Maybe you've found a better way to get around that.
why do you use a shock collar by the way? they are extremely not animal friendly. positive reinforcement is so much better and it doesnt actually hurt the animal.
Being completely honest. If your service dog isn’t able to stay quiet, you shouldn’t be taking him to school. He would probably be stressed if he isn’t desensitized and trained to ignore people.
@@akamumanokit4542 He IS ABLE to stay quiet thank you very much. If you read clearly, I stated that I want to make sure he is on his best behavior. I did not say that he has any sort of barking issue, or problems with being too vocal. You should not assume. He is a dog, and not a robot. Most dogs bark at some point in there life, it is natural. We go to stores, amusement and entertainment places, and he never once has barked at anyone or anything. I am just taking a preventative action to make sure he is successful, even if it is not an issue to him.
@@osita5578 muzzles dont prevent barking. a dog is supposed to be able to pant and drink water easily when wearing one. also i wouldnt recommend muzzling him as the school could assume he is aggressive or something and try to deny him
@@osita5578 you asked for help and received very helpful and polite answers. if you think you already know what is best, then don't post in a public forum soliciting advice. no need to be rude to people who are trying to help you (and more so help your dog).
