pros and cons of having a service dog!

[@Xen0s_corner]

this is really helpful!! thank you so much! i was wondering today if a service dog would be for me and i think i’ll hold this idea for my future but for now i’ve figured out i don’t need one. thanks for the education!!

Really good video! I loved how mentioned some pros that are not disability related because sometimes the SD community acts like it's not okay to have fun with your SD.

[@thepawswithpurpose]

thank you for watching! and i totally agree! being disabled obviously sucks, but it's not all terrible when you have a doggo by your side:)

This was really interesting. The increased freedom and independence along with the ability to do more things on my own or primary reasons why I am currently in the service dog program application process. The biggest con I’m not looking forward to is having to interact with so many people and answer random strangers questions, but I guess it’ll make me a better self advocate which is good.

[@thepawswithpurpose]

it will totally help with your self advocacy skills! it helped me for sure!!! :)

I got a standard poodle puppy and I am training him to be my service dog… I found your channel and you inspired me to get a poodle and they are super smart… thank you for your videos…

[@kayleeann1488]

Iv always wanted a poodle! (I have a shetland sheepdog) And I don't get why people thinking have a service dog is a fun and cool thing to have, like what? Love your videos!

I am a new service dog handler and was wanting some tips on training

[@warriorstudeo188]

Could you do a video on how to explain what a service dog is to someone?

[@midnightashez4206]

How do you bring up a service dog idea to your therapist??

[@thepawswithpurpose]

if you have a psychiatrist, i would recommend talking to them instead. sometimes they are more informed and have more experience with service dogs. if they decide that's something that would help you a lot of times they can actually write a prescription for a service dog! i hope this helped you :)

Hi I loved this video! It was very educational! I was wondering if these few things are considered a Disability or not! Anxiety Social anxiety Anger issues Sh ( I can put in replys what it means! ❤️‍🩹) Panic attacks (very easy to trigger.) Hard time speaking up getting out of bed So that’s the stuff i wanted to know if are technically a disability or not, or if it is even eligible for a SD that’s all I wanted to ask nvm it’s not all I wanted to ask I also want to ask How can you bring up getting a service dog if my things(The stuff I listed) are eligible for one

In america having a condition that impairs one or more parts of daily life For me I am autistic which means some of my issues are I can't go to the store by myself and have panic attacks and shutdowns really often and I really can't deal with them on my own So you might benefit from a psychiatric service dog for instance but you should talk to your mental health professional (which it sounds like you definitely need if you don't have one already) about your specific situation Not an expert by the way

@@pigeonhofmann3756 okay! Thanks for letting me know! I have been talking to mental health professional and I’ll try and bring it up soon! This helps thanks.
