Service Dog's First Flight | Disneyworld Trip Day 1

[@S.K.Y.E.]

Couple months ago there was a service dog in the aisle next to me and halfway though the flight he just payed on his owners lap and kept staring at me. I never saw one on a plane before and was shocked on how great he was behaving. Service dogs are just unimaginably special

[@gunners_journey7371]

''ridley stop staring at me your making me think i'm going to die '' very true when our service\assitince dogs stare us in the eyes for more than 14 lol

[@cashtaylorsversion3898]

@Lady Day I mean she is a service dog that needs to be paying attention to her handler to make sure CJ is not dying and to keep her focus

Can I ask how you worked through the elevator issues? I've taken my SDiT on an elevator for the first time and she started panicking a little (constantly trying to find a way out). For right now, I'm just sitting in our tiny bathroom playing elevator noises to start desensitizing her.

[@LoanLeaf]

@@volcanopro7461 it might not be the noises but how it feels... use lots of treats and praise maybe even a toy to distract her. my dog would just panic and try to run toward the door. what i did with her was ride the elevator up and down lots of times to let her get used to the feeling and giving her praise and pets since thats what she likes most. i let her sniff around and i tried to make her as comfortable as possible showing her the elevator isnt scary.

Whats the reason you have a SD? I really want to get one for my anxiety, I just started noticing it but it mostly when I go out. Im really nervous to go back to school bc I go to a bigger school, I feel like everyone judges me and stares at me. Every whisper I hear its about me and my body. I haven’t told my parents bc im super sensitive and emotional and scared what they will respond with.

[@theservicehyena3088]

she is a multipurpose service dog for both my medical and psych disabilities. i will say having anxiety with a service dog is VERY difficult. people stare and talk about you WAY more, so that is not easy to deal with when you already have anxiety. you can talk to your doctor or therapist and see if it would be a hood treatment option for you, and what tasks they can provide for you to mitigate it, but i do make sure to warn people that it WILL make your anxiety worse before it gets better. you’ve gotta get used to even more stares, comments, strangers talking to you and asking (sometime invasive) questions, etc

Today I was flying to California I reached now but I saw a service dog it was a husky and then a small dog barked who I knew wasn’t a SD because they were going to like put the dog in the cage in the plane but then the other husky barked back so would you say that’s a real SD because I didn’t really hink

[@theservicehyena3088]

it could’ve been a service dog in training, or simply a service dog who made a mistake. dogs are not robots and even my girl has had trouble in the past with other dogs who were reactive towards her as well. i would say the degree that the dog barked back and whether or not they were corrected and gotten back under control would’ve determined it’s legitimacy as a service dog.

Shouldn't you take the prong collars off during the flight so they are comfortable? Not against them at all, we have one. But trainer advised they should only be used for correction during walk. All other times it should be removed. With all the other collars they have to wear it just seems they would be more comfortable with out them during flight.

[@theservicehyena3088]

hi, yes that’s how it is with pet dogs, however she typically wears it anytime she is working. although she is sleeping on the flight, she is still working and it was kept on in case she needed a correction, especially since it was her first time flying. all she had on was a traffic lead, she wasn’t on a full leash. she is very used to napping with her prong on during breaks, both at disneyland and at my work. if she showed signs of it being uncomfortable i would’ve taken it off. the only other collars she is wearing are her tag collar which is very loose, and a padded two inch “do not pet” collar

He even wore his own doggy seat belt with extra special harness for his seat belt.He is a ShihTzu n too cute for his own good. But like your dog he is extremely well behaved. The only time he wanted off the seat is when he insisted on retrieving my glucometer out of my purse. Go figure not eating n flying makes my blood sugar levels drop.

If you don’t mind me asking why one of the dogs have a pink tail

[@theservicehyena3088]

i don't mind! its pet safe dye from the brand Opawz. i originally began dying her tail to help people see it easier and step on it less. but its also just something that suits her and she's known for it, and she doesn't mind me doing it at all! dye can also help prevent pet theft!

[@Sidtrav2017]

Can you link below the leashes y’all use and the vest? Thanks !!

[@theservicehyena3088]

hey! unfortunately both our vests are custom made, and the shop that made the leash i use closed down.

[@princesstiny3773]

[@theservicehyena3088]

[@polarstorm1424]

Why did you name her Ridley?

[@kaylaross2765]

where did you get Ridley's leash?

[@theservicehyena3088]

hey! it’s from a shop that’s no longer active. but i have multiple leashes just like it (and actually better IMO) from the shop CSJ creations on instagram!

[@Zoey_eqq]

I want a service dog but I don't think I would qualify for one :(

[@tomaterjuice5095]

Do you have a link for the travel backpack for the service dog? thank you so much!

[@Gracie_Parker]

Hi! I have a question I might me going to therapy for my anxiety and I’m very emotional and I’m kinda scared to tell a random person my problem where you?

[@Gracie_Parker]

@@brealeighh thank you for telling me! That puts a lot of stress off my chest😅

[@gentlemismagius6141]

I’m currently in therapy for my generalized anxiety disorder. It’s not all that scary. You can always tell them your nervous and they will understand.

[@Gracie_Parker]

@@gentlemismagius6141 thanks for the advice!😁

[@theservicehyena3088]

hey! so i had a pretty good relationship with my therapist and after some time it got much easier to open up to her. my biggest bit of advice is, DONT SETTLE. if you don’t vibe with your therapist it’s never going to help you. it’s ok to shop around and try out a few before you find one you’re comfortable with! the thing i loved most about mine is that she was a nurse for some time and knew a lot about my medical conditions which was huge

[@Gracie_Parker]

@@theservicehyena3088 thanks I actually have a video call with mine today or tomorrow? Can’t remember thanks for the advice!😁

[@mariaroder9618]

I forget is she still in training?

[@theservicehyena3088]

hey! yes she is. she meets the legal requirements of a fully trained service dog (is PA trained, has solid task training, etc) but bc she’s young i still label her as in training. she also can’t learn mobility tasks until she’s two years old, for health reasons!

[@mariaroder9618]

@@theservicehyena3088 thanks for clearing that Up I was confused. Can you tell he she is such a good girl because she is😊😊

[@Cisfruity]

Is Ridley a Belgian Malinois? Or maybe a mix of one. Well either way, she is very pretty!
