im binge watching all the service dog at school videos on youtube because me and my SD are attending college for the first time together in september and im so anxious for it💀rosie did so good for her first time in that enviroment!
Hi! Do you have any tips for having a service animal in collage? I have a service mini horse and I’m really worried about her adjusting to collage environment
you are perfectly fine love! like you said it’s a new environment and these dogs are ALWAYS learning. As long as she’s under control is corrected (like you already did) you guys are doing great. Improvements are made everyday, even for the highest trained dogs :)
Honestly, I also needed to hear this. Taking my SDIT into new environments causes her to be heavily distracted and leash pull. I get so nervous people think I'm faking her or something. I've come to the point where I don't even put SDIT on her vest anymore for fear of it being put to shame.
So number one I will always tell people to get assistance from a trainer, you can follow my training account and messages with videos or things you want to see or if you need help, but I would suggest seeing how she learns best, whether that be an E collar or a prong or some thing and then learning how to correct properly with that usually we use E collars for vocalness (but please go to a professional if you’re learning how do use an E collar, it can be dangerous)
Well then they legally can’t deny you access, so they have to let you have your dog. Because they are run by the government they are required to abide by the ADA
today is my first day of high school with my SD too! and so far he's been incredible, the only embarrassing thing he did was snore really loudly a minute ago while the whole class was quiet 😂.
thank you for this because im going into 7th grade with a servcie dog for the first time in the same school i've been at for a long time. this has given me a few ideas of what im supposed to do. thank you!
once I start going next year I'm going to start talking to them about bringing my sd. I'm waiting until after I start going that way I can talk more in person than through emails.
Sounds like a plan, I would recommend going to the school nurse and talking to them about it and asking them the information needed. Then get a doctors note (medical messes note) and make a list of all the tasks your dog is trained to perform and then make a separate sheet explaining why you need your dog at school like example: (this happens when I’m at school- this take is needed for that incedent)
I have two questions I'm curious about! 1. What do you do in gym with a sd? 2. Was it hard to get the SD in school with you did you have to make paperwork or whatever? Ofc you don't have to answer if you don't want too I'm training my sd and I would like to know some research!
2. Yes it was pretty hard, because I go to private school I had to supply them with a doctors note and a List of tasks. Other than that we had to do a trial day and then she was completely approved! Feel free to ask anymore questions!
@@chronicallyk9415 I'm sorry to ask again but I have another question how did you go off asking your doctor for a permit ofc don't tell me your disability just how did you approach it or how would you go off it?
No problem please ask as many as you want!! So for me my doctor wouldn’t write the note because of liability because she was scared that she would be liable for something, so what I asked was for her to write a generic note that was not so specific to Rosie but specifically generalized to my service dog so that in the future that dog nor Rosie can cause her to be liable for writing the note. And she agreed to write it that way
I’m so happy for you Lillian, I know how long you’ve been trying to get them to let her come and I’m glad you’re finally able to. Dogs are dogs and as you know to make mistakes. Barking when she gets excited makes sense and as long as she wasn’t growling aggressively I don’t see why you couldn’t correct and refocus her. Did your teacher make a big deal about it when she did? Maybe you can take her to school and we get it when it’s empty and just meet up with one or two people and have them practice things like jumping out in front of her moving really quickly when she’s laying down so she can get used to it.
Thankfully the teachers just ignored it or laughed. It really was only a big deal to me. She was approved to continue the year with me (I’ll do an update video soon) and she’s been so much better! Yesterday she didn’t bark at all! I’ll try and Vlog another day here soon, I’ve been having some new health issues that I have a dr apt for tomorrow so Hopfully we can get some answers. Also I’m super excited cause our Bridgeport mobility harness comes tomorrow and we might even go on our first outing with it! I’m super excited for that and my new pull strap came in today! (Video out now)
I’m so glad to hear that she was approved to continue in the year with you. Are you a junior or a senior? Also why did the person introducing you for your presentation call you Anne Marie? Your name is Lillian isn’t it? That’s great about the new heart is coming, are you going to do a gear video about it? Best of luck with your DR appointment tomorrow. Were you ever able to ask the physical therapist about prescribing wheelchair?
Yes I’m thankful to be bringing her! Also my name is that but I go by Lillian on my stoical media platforms (I started this channel calling myself by my real name, but then switch to Lillian because I prefer it online) Yes I have a doctors appointment today and I’m hoping they can figure out some of the sicknesses I’ve been having. I have an appointment with A orthopedic surgeon to discuss my wheelchair. But it’s all going to depend on insurance because if they don’t pay for it which most times they won’t then I can’t get one because I won’t be able to afford it
That makes sense about having one name for online. Best of luck with getting the wheelchair approved by your orthopedist and insurance, and I hope bringing Rosie keeps going well for you.
I live close to my school. My dog is still training so I wont bring her just yet, but to let her energy out I could just walk to school technically. Ill be a Freshman this coming year but hopefully I can have her come by Sophmore year.
The fact that you live close to school is perfect that means when you start to bring her you can take her home on lunch breaks and give her half days which is perfect. She will need a lot more energy ran out before you get to school and will probably need several breaks during the day.
@@chronicallyk9415 yeah, I usually play with her in the morning so we can both wake up. She eats while I shower, but its summer so we dont know what we'll do if shes ready in training to go to school. For lunch breaks, we have a good cafeteria and outside area thats far from a road. She is very entergetic and only a year old, but Ill test her on a school day sometime to see how she does. (When shes trained around people. Impulse control is really important, shes still jumpy.). She spends time outside in the mornings too with her sister Jerry, and they play while I get ready for the day. She does get more exercise and its all done by 6, and my school starts at 8. I think itll work out.
Please don’t use the pull strap for counter balance. You can only use and rigid handle on an actual mobility harness for counter balance. Using a pull strap for counter balance puts a lot of strain on your dogs back and can potentially really mess up the dogs back and body. I know this is a year old video but I wanted to mention it.
Did you know that rigid handles are actually “more dangerous” to do CB with! The ideal would definitely by a semi rigid, but that’s only cause it’s already standing and therefore easier to grab without bending… well made pull-strap are completely find for CB they are made to have weight on them and when connected correctly applied equal pressure. You are incorrect, but I do appreciate the concern thanks.
I've been watching a bunch of different videos with service dogs go to school with there handler cause I am going to start bringing my SD to school with me starting next school year and am trying to have him completely ready and see if I need to do anything or improve anything over the summer with him-
Really my biggest tip is, don’t put too much pressure on them! Make sure your dog can heel, settle & lay down, and ok with strangers yelling, and putting him. And desensitize to noises like fire alarms and active shooter sirens, other then that it’s really pretty simple :) it’s more stress for us as the handlers then it really needs to be haha. I’d bring something your dog can chew on during the day as well and if they like laying on a mat get a blanket placemat for them. Other then that treat pouch, poop bags, treats, water bottle/bowl, and leash and gear are all you will need :) don’t over pack lol most things you won’t need
Oh another tip would definitely be ease them in! Don’t take them everyday start with like the first day, then skip a day then bring them again see if they are showing stress or anything and then decide if you need to wait 1-2 more days to let them rest before coming back and then slowly close the gap to bringing them everyday :)
Enjoyed this. I like that harness with cape set up and would like to look at getting that for my boy as I have always used just a vest but thr harness was embroidered so more visable. What is it called? The harness bit
Im getting a puppy prospect to owner train soon, ive been watching all the videos i can, reading up on all the laws, and just doing so much research. This video is helping to prepare me for when i go back to school with the puppy once its trained. It will be a male german shepherd. If anyone sees this comment and has name suggestions feel free to reply with them (im bad at naming things) So far the names i have are, Crow, Raven, Azrael, and Ghost
@Cypherhex Hey! so unfortunately i cant get the pup yet but im getting emancipated soon and im going to live out on my own and then get the dog and start training it. ive been doing a lot of research and im super excited! thanks for asking!
No, it’s an e-collar! Check out this playlist and watch the videos explaining it and why it’s different then a shock collar which is abusive. ru-vid.com/group/PL-lYNSwpu3PJgs4vGLIkmahh59bYzC8Pp But it’s used rarely but it’s just for corrections and communication :)
Yeah, it’s not that super simple. But this was also like two years ago lol. I’m a professional trainer so I gave her a custom training plan which has worked great.
