Helpful! I'd like to see one on approaching hospitals and doctors offices, what to expect if the dog's purpose or tasks are not obvious to the untrained eye if you ever get a chance!

[@LisaGallegos]

I can do one but I’d first practice out of context (approaching a building) before taking your dog in training to a real appointment. The dogs purpose or tasks are not always obvious, and not really necessary for the general public to know. A staff member from the store can ask what they’re trained for in the US, but you can leave it general- “medical alert” “medication retrieval” etc. if you’re asking about the doctor- you can tell them directly what they’re trained for. You don’t have to “demo” it to them - for example someone with a seizure disorder cant or at least shouldn’t make themselves have a seizure to show them what their dog is capable of. Hopefully that makes sense!

i wish i new about this when i was training my service dog but i just found it and she is 4 yrs old now and doing pretty good as it is

[@riverrunnernky]

Very well made video, I’m a K9 handler/Trainer all my adult life, I’m very impressed with this Lady’s presentation on this video. I’m still enjoy learning better training.

Just Info for anyone who didn't know or got mislead by the video, but service dog certification isn't a real thing. An organization can say that they trained and PAT tested, but that doesn't make a dog "certified", or "registered". And if any company says that then its a scam because there is no such thing. But getting a documentation of service training can help if someone tries to kick you out for having a service dog or something like that. Hope this bit of knowledge helps clear up some things 😊👍

[@LisaGallegos]

There isn’t - but some people choose to. If you watch my other videos I talk about this in depth and how it’s not required, but you should still test and evaluate your dog on your own if you’re self training. This is meant to help people who are self training so they can see what standard their dog should be trained to. Also, for those traveling internationally, it’s super helpful to work with an organization that is part of the ADI to make traveling a your dog easier. I put a lot of work into sharing this free video, so I find it extremely rude for you to comment “misled” as if posting a FREE video for people who are self training to watch is somehow trying to mislead people? 🫤

This was very helpful. Our training, mine and hers, improves all the time. You presented this content very well! I appreciate you!

Thank you ❤️

Helpful!!! 🎉 What do you recommend for the time of puberty? I remember very well, when my last dog was in puberty, he seemed to have forgotten all the basic training he had already learnt. He would markmy sons' luggage when they came to visit me, hardly responded when I gave a command, pulled and jumped into the leash when walking, jumped at guests when they were entering our home,.... My youngster was totally out of control. I was devastated. Does it even make sense to try to teach something new during this time of puberty? From one day to the next, my dog behaved superb again and followed all commands right away. It seemed as if he had been obsessed by a little demon for a couple of months, which had surprisingly showed up and suddenly vanished again.

[@Orangeshebert]

I can relate! When my golden turned one she was in the middle of service dog training. It felt like she forgot everything! I was in tears. After about 2 months of continuing training she is back to herself and our training is progressing. It was rough .

who does PAT and how do I acquire one?

[@christinaholligan8299]

Can a young puppy be called a service dog? Do service dogs get raised with a person from when they are a puppy.

[@earth2wendy]

Helpful and illuminating. Thank you!

[@harrisonhunt6624]

Great video

[@MarkoRussellUSA]

what age do you start working a dog for service dog training ? I know the conditioning should start as a puppy but is there a specific time frame or development point you suggest starting them ?

[@tylerwillbanks1803]

I am training my new service dog and all this stuff is so helpful. How can I find someone in my area to test him and help me prepare for it. Thanks so much

[@LisaGallegos]

You’re not required to test under the ADA but if you email me I’ll be happy to help you find a trainer in your area if you’re still looking! [e-mail]

How can I find a trainer that does these tests? Also, how can I build up my skills to be able to administer these tests? Is there a certification for trainers to "prove" they can do these tests?

[@4sumrnr]

Fantastic and easy to follow video. Thanks!

[@yogaqueen1527]

So if the testing is not required, seem like anyone can just say their dog is a sd

[@LisaGallegos]

Technically, yes; however, if your dog damages property, injured someone, etc you’d be legally liable and then when they find out you have no training logs/no need for one, you would be in big trouble! It’s hard because you don’t want a public list of “people with a disability” but it does leave room for people to say their pet is a service dog. You can usually tell though based on the handler. Also the ADA states reasonable accommodations so a dog barking or causing ruckus can get kicked out of a store. So yes, while you’re right it’s not recommended to just say your dog is an SD without any training

[@maddiekyle5576]

How do I train public access if he gets distracted too easily? Like...I wanna train him to be calm in public, but since he isn't already trained, he becomes a problem for strangers, you know?

[@Bittagrit]

How does the administrator deal with an extra large service dog too large to fit under a table?

[@LisaGallegos]

The main goal is to just keep them as out of the way as possible. If they can’t fit under, then you can have them by your side. For the dogs safety, I do recommend at least keeping their legs/tail out of the way of foot traffic

[@user-fh2jp6rm5h]

Are service dogs in training allowed in public? Like the mall or whatever?

[@LisaGallegos]

You’ll have to look at state law for that since they’re not covered under the ADA. What state are you in?
