Service dog keeps young student healthy

[@emilyroberts3832]

What a great principal. I keep hearing stories about schools and staff members who refuse to let children go to school with their service dogs, which turns the whole thing into a giant legal battle which is hard for everyone. So nice and refreshing to see someone who actually gets it.

[@BinhNguyen-fn7pn]

i hate my school, it always start class at 7 AM

[@alanakelly1001]

Emily Roberts mainly they don't allow service dogs in school because of allergies

[@normal4810]

Alana Kelly schools are a gray area because of IDEA, which protects disabled students, and the ADA, which protects all disabled Americans. Under the ADA, legally, allergies are no excuse to deny access. In colleges, service dog handlers have to report to their Disabilities Coordinator that they have a service animal to assure the safety of others who may have allergies. In those cases, they simply just move away.

They should teach other kids not to pet the service dogs on duty, it's unsafe

[@mattwyrick8394]

It's not a hard rule. Unsafe for whom? is the question. Most service dogs have wonderful temperaments so it's not unsafe to the person who pets. Whether it's unsafe to the child needing the service dog depends on what they need the dog for. The best rule to go by is to ask the handler if you may pet. I never allow petting of my dog because she was abused before I got her and doesn't like being touched period, not even by me but luckily I only need her at night. I can tell when I'm awake whether my blood sugar is low or not.

[@rmbagby3]

Matt Wyrick it’s unsafe for the girl. If the k9 misses an alert because he’s distracted for a moment, it could be dangerous for the girl.

[@mattwyrick8394]

@@rmbagby3 That's why I suggest asking. Like I mentioned I only need a service dog at night when I can't tell if my blood sugar is low so anytime I'm awake it's OK. That's if she will let you. She was a throwaway so she isn't particularly cuddly. The handler knows their need so if you ask and they say it's OK fine if they say no then ignore the dog.

[@rmbagby3]

Matt Wyrick, I think it’s best to give the handler full autonomy when we’re establishing norms. Instead of telling kids/adults it’s ok to go up to any and every service k9 team bc they want to pet the k9 (asking, or not), why not teach them to only interact with the k9 if offered by the handler. 1) For safety reasons. Most service k9s are working 24/7. 2) By teaching to ask, it puts the handler in a position to deny. Many ppl with disabilities deal with unwanted attention due solely to their disability...I certainly don’t want to go down the street getting barraged with “can I pet your dog?”...I’m just trying to get to the store/post office/etc Also, why do you take your k9 out in public if it is only working while you are sleeping?

[@mattwyrick8394]

@@rmbagby3 To train her. Like I said she's a throwaway and not real people friendly so I spend a lot of time walking her in town around people clicking and treating at every opportunity. I also have ADD and can often not notice if I put something down worst case for example is my wallet. I trained her to pick it up and hand it to me. Didn't really intend to use her that way but was a fun exercise in shaping because I did it with absolutely nothing but clicker and treats. No commands or even eye contact. Interesting thing that I noticed with of all the walking. I found she's very tolerant of children. A toddler crashed into her once and fell down. She stood there with her back stiffened while the toddler used it to stand up. I never taught her to help someone stand. Anyone else she would have moved away from but she seems to tolerate children sometimes better than she will me.

Some companies are against them though. And under ADA only dogs and in some cases miniature horses are allowed public access rights. As for prong placement we all make mistakes so lay off. She is a young girl like myself (I'm 17) and we are far from perfect. Way to go Simba!

Yes, you can qualify for a Service Dog, specifically a Psychiatric Service Dog. Some tasks that the dog can do is alerting to anxiety (attacks) cues such as scratching, chewing hand, shaking, tapping etc, alerting to panic (attacks) cues such as severe shaking, increased heart rate, hyperventilation etc, performing Deep Pressure Therapy (DBT) to ground and help you calm down.

How can I get a service dog for my disability

[@gdd5169]

How much does it cost to get a Service dog?

[@archibald_dw]

It depends on where you get your service dog from & weather or not they're in your state if you live in the U.S. Out-of-state training is more expensive than in state training. So, it's best to find a training service close to where you live. My family & I are applying for a service dog for my Autism, Depression, PTSD, & Anxiety soon, & we were able to find a training service in our state that costs about $6,500 USD (which is actually not bad, considering that it costs the trainers about $25,000 USD to train each dog). But (if you live in the U.S.) service dog training usually costs around $8,000 to $10,000 USD. in-state. Out-of-state training is usually a couple thousand dollars more. I don't know how much service dog training costs in other countries, though. I'll have to do some research to find out.

If I am awake I am able to take care of things even when I am super low; but if I am asleep and unaware that I am dropping things can go bad fast. I also will randomly drop rapidly and when I start to drop I drop drastically and need a lot of sugar to be okay again. I hope some day I will be able to get a service dog.

@@BStorms positive reinforcement training rarely works. I say this as a dog trained, the best form of training and most effectove that produces happy yet disciplined dogs is balanced training. Both reward and discipline. If the dog does something wrong, you correct it. If the dog does something good, you reward it. It is that simple. It sets a fine line between right and wrong. In all honesty, I have never seen positive only training do more than teach the dog to sit. The dogs I have seen that have had positive only training are some of the most unruly dogs I have seen. They bark and lung at dogs and people, they are little demons when it comes to leash walking and listening, and are just overall badly behaved. The dogs don't know right from wrong, and you definatly could not train a service dog this way (I train service dogs)

@@monab2712 I am a real true trainer and I highly recommend the use of prong collars as long as used correctly. I test all of the gear I use on myself before it ever gets anywhere near my dogs, and prong collars are simply uncomfortable, and are a lot better than flat collars which actually kind of hurt. They work by using the prongs to create a bit of a needling feeling, which is uncomfortable. Unlike flat collars, they do not hurt because they are designed to evenly distribute pressure around the neck, which again unlike flat collars will not cause any damage to the dog. In all honesty, the collars that pose the most danger to a dog isn't choke collars, it isn't prong collars, it isnt e-collars (different from shock collars, no one should use shock collars), it is flat collars. Flat collars crush the dogs esophagus which can cause severe permanent damage, and has killed many dogs (my uncle just lost his dog to a flat collar after it got caught while he was away and crushed the dogs neck). Prongs and choke collars evenly distribute the pressure so it poses no risk of harming the dog, and is a lot more comfortable yet is better for correcting.

She has type 1 diabetes, the dog picks up on her blood sugar levels.

[@mariannemccammon7253]

She has type one diabetes, when her blood-sugar is high she has to give herself insulin and when her blood-sugar is low she has to eat or drink something with sugar or carbs. When one has diabetes their pancreas doesn't work and have usually have a bad immune system.

Please do NOT pull the "she doesn't look sick" trick on me. I myself am a Type 1 Diabetic just like Tayler.

Prong collars are not supposed to be used on Service Dogs. And that Prong is not even used properly.

[@scooterchiick6236]

+Mona B most guide dog wear prongs. every tool has its place when used properly.

[@monab2712]

+Scooter Chiick no they don't use them. read my reply to Steven.

[@shinu1923]

Prongs collars are most commonly used on servoce dogs, wtf are you talking about? They are most useful for service dogs since they can give a quick effective correction. And yes it is not being used right but that would really only be an issue if the dog pulled on the leash (which it doesn't since service dogs don't pull), other than that it is pretty much harmless.

[@ThePenguin369]

​@@shinu1923 why the fuck does a highly trained alert dog need a prong or head collar for 'corrections'.
