I have a malonois cardiac alert service dog, and we just recently rescued a chaweenie that looks like a mini version of him. She loves to learn so I'm going to attempt to train her to be a second service dog if all works out.

Quick question, i have a 12lbs sd, do you pouch your sd from time to time? Im going to start doing it because he cant handle walking for as long as he used to if we are out on a long trip (hes 7 now, and has mild luxating patella in his knees) he also catches onto my scent quicker for alerts when hes closer to my face and chest, but i dont want to be called a faker cause of it, any suggestions on getting him used to it and preparing for the reactions of people? Any suggestions on making the sling/pouch more comfortable for me and him when im carrying him in it as well? 😅

Please think about investing in some rex specs for your sd! My sd is small as well and hes been ran into multiple times both on accident and once intentionally while out in public! Im very glad he has his rex specs cause people see him better and if anything hits him in the face he doesnt get hurt! Same for boots! Boots are a must too! Helps protect their feet and makes them more noticeable!

And that’s how people like you fake service dogs. Glad to hear they actually require them to be trained and have the certificate. Absolutely you should be refused If you cannot write a doctors note, and don’t want to disclose your disability. That just means you’re faking it. Real people with disabilities will disclose them because they have nothing to hide or fake

Skye does such a fantastic job! Have you trained her yourself? I am training my service dog myself right now. She’s a beagle/basset hound mix, so she’s on the smaller side of service dog’s. If you did train her yourself, how did you teach her to walk backwards when you walk backwards?
@riss.and.the.dogs321 Жыл бұрын
Thank you so much! I did train her completely by myself! She was a $50 rescue dog with health problems and absolutely no training but with lots of work she became an amazing dog that saved my life ❤️ how I taught her “back” which is her command to get back into heel as well as backing up was that I used a verbal marker and a treat to lure her backwards and I kept repeating and slowly faded using treats to lure her once she understood it! Then I started to just stay standing and tell her back with a little leash pressure and she understood it!

I'm honestly surprised that tiny bladders wasn't a con. Although service dogs have to be housebroken, because small dogs have small bladders, aren't you ever worried about your SD having accidents? Has it happened? I'm debating whether or not to get a Pomeranian to train as a service dog when originally I had settled on a Golden retriever. I love the pros of having a smaller dog and even with the cons, it's completely worth it.
@riss.and.the.dogs321 Жыл бұрын
Hmm I’ve never had a problem with that, Skye had one accident when we first got her and first did training at a pet store but she’s never had one since and she’s worked some long hours. I always give frequent potty breaks and keep track of when she eats/drinks! Something I always have to itch me is a clean up kit for if my SD we’re to ever get sick or throw up as well so that eases my mind!

@@riss.and.the.dogs321 That's good to hear! For some reason I have major anxiety about choosing a small dog to train as my SD and them having an accident because they have small bladders. But I figured if anything, if it's trained to go on a puppy pad or something, at least that's an easy cleanup!

If I want my ash Orkney to be my PSD and she only needs to be around my neck in her carrying pouch, do you believe there to be any alterations in the rules? I don’t use cages or carriers, just the pouch around my neck. When I get anxious, all I have to do is reach down. I would need her that close during take off and landing. You’ve seen the changing rules. Do you see an accommodation to fit our needs?

So small service dogs are able to be in a sling or carrier as long ad they are able to task and of course are well behaved, I don’t know if there’s anything different with flying. As long ad the dog is task trained and not only there for comfort/emotional support you should be okay but I would check federal laws!

I’m glad my next service dog will be small because of light DPT. Something I’ve realized is I only like very light pressure when I’m having a panic attack or PTSD episode. Heavier pressure makes it worse… I’m leaning towards a Jack chi. I feel like it’s fate tbh. His story is very similar to part of mine and that understanding of each other is something I’ve always felt helps with bonding.

I saw a fake service dog today at Walmart, and it was also a chihuahua. It was sniffing around, looked distracted, Did absolutely nothing like Skye did. The lady didn’t tell the chihuahua to heel, or any commands. I don’t think the service dog is trained, But is pretending to be labeled as a service dog. So I told my mom and she disagreed with me. I’m not a service dog handler, But I’m wanting to be one because I am mentally disabled, and the lady looks like she doesn’t have a disability. I mean, I was making faces at her, Because I knew she could go to jail for making her pet dog labeled as a service dog. The chihuahua wasn’t wearing a custom service dog vest like Skye. It was wearing those cheap ones. If you know what I mean, The Amazon ones. What should I do if I see another fake service dog even though I’m not a handler? I’ve been wanting a service dog though for my mental disability which is Aspergers.
