I have depression, anxiety and autism, I’ve had many mental breakdowns at home and out in Public, I’m currently working on training my dog, but I’m afraid I don’t have enough of a condition to have a service dog, I rly think he would help but idk if I do, I skin pick on my fingers and nail bite, I’m constantly leg bouncing and get overwhelmed constantly and have breakdowns, what do you think?

What sewing machine do you have?

I saw rawhide treats in the treat drawer, they are dangerous for dogs and can cause serious medical issues. They can not digest rawhide and it can become lodged in their intestinal track. Please buy better treats for your dog, it isn't worth spending thousands at the vet for a cheap treat.

What kind of material did you use?

How many layers of fabric did you use

I recently just learned about the help of migraine and psychiatric service dogs.... and about two or three days ago saw a video on mobility aide and loved seeing a more thorough description here. My interest in that area of training is that some of the mobility tasks match with symptom of the derealization/depersonalization episodes I get at times. It had never occurred to me that was the case til I saw the other video and now this great, clear listing of tasks in this area. There are only a couple that would apply to my functioning and safety during an episode but those would have a massive real-world effect. And I never thought about the aide to sight issues because I don't have a full-time sight issue. I've episodes of reduced vision like during dereal/depers episodes. I really appreciate you expanding on the information available about service dogs. I'm looking primarily into PSDs and their tasks, but those overlap with so much!

My service dog has helped me tremendously. I used to not be able to leave the house on my own but now I can! Psychiatric service dogs on valid!

Thanks so much this was so helpful cant wait to start this project

You need to work on your voice

OMG I LOVE THIS! SO SMART! TYSM FOR SHARING

What do you use for the back material? I'm curious because I don't like flimsy vests 😊

It looks soooo good!!!! Your pup is gonna look perfect!

THIS IS AN UN-EDUCATED PERSON WHO KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT SERVICE DOGS OR WORKING DOGS.

Do you have a tutorial on making a service dog vest for if you didn’t have an old vest as a template?

Where can I go if I need my service dog training update

Are you vegan?

Well done 👍

Thank you for sharing! Is there any recommendations or tips as a first time animal owner as to if I should get a cat or small dog for a 2 bedroom apartment?

My service dogs the same breed as yours !!!!

is that shower shared by anyone else?

This is what happens when I overstimulate with all my sensory issues. a lot of this happens with individuals on the autistic spectrum when they get overwhelmed in their environment, causes a lot of anxiety like a brain shutdown. before I had Freja,I would disassociate all the time in the environment. It was my way of getting through all the overstimulation. This is a very common thing with individuals on the autistic spectrum including Asperger’s syndrome. I like the way you explained how to train the task step-by-step. I am training Freja as an autism spectrum disorder assistance dog/Asperger’s syndrome.assistance dog. I really like your approach to task training. Freja is so inclined with my Asperger’s syndrome and how to respond to the anxiety part of it. I really need to train her on cueing the task instead of her doing it naturally.

These kind of videos are so fun to watch so I’m glad you make them and thanks so much for including VoiceOver what you do because someone with low vision that is very helpful. I’ve recently started teaching my service dog to press accessible door buttons and was really surprised with how quickly she picked it up and that she really seem to like task. I wasn’t sure if she would since nothing else I needed to do requires her stand on her back legs like that and so I didn’t know if she might be bothered by it but she really seem to enjoy it and now sometimes even when I don’t need to press the button she’ll go up and try to get it anyway

Thank you for sharing your day. It is interesting to see helpful tasks, cues, alerts and responses that are helpful. We have some similar and some different. I think you look very graceful together.

Love this video but please do not use SHEIN. It’s forced labor on children

Oooh she does it so well!

Thanks Cassidy. Would love to see a video on how to teach lick, if you’re able. Would also love to see a video on how you trained chaining of Luna’s response (nuzzle under, lick, DPT & lick hands). Thanks 😊

Thanks for a helpful clip.

I thought the tasks related to Schizophrenia were really interesting! Especially the one for checking to see if someone were real. I’m sure that could really change some lives

So pretty ❤❤❤

She's so cute 🥰

Cassidy, your pose is so unbelievably cute at 8:20, waiting for Luna to scratch out her stress. Perfection, 10/10 for style, humor, and timing.

My skin picking has been the skin and cuticles around my fingernails and nails on my big toe. To the point of bleeding.

Luna is so cute 🥰

❤❤❤❤❤ They deserve all your attention and love once in a while

So cute! ❤❤

Congratulations 🎉

Click clomp click clomp 😂

Omg she's like a pony🤣🤣❤️

What if you say you have a service dog but they don’t know what it is but you don’t know how to explain cause I am extremely anxious around people and stutter a lot

Pls lmk step by step how to teach beginner dog this touch game.

Haha 😂 Luna just getting a quick nap ready for work 🎉

Awesome that

Sticker says “do” may not be vested 😅

well what a good baby, she tried to help ❤️

My dog ain't a service dog, but she sure is a velcro dog, so this is definitely a familiar scene 😂

THIS IS A THING? I have severe anxiety and have been struggling with skin picking for years. 😭
