SERVICE DOG TRICKS // Buddy's "regular dog" Tricks + real Service Dog Tasks (& how we trained them)

[@MommingwithMigraine]

I'm sure I missed something! What's the best trick your dog knows?!!!

[@GtrChck]

Hugs (paw on shoulders for hugs) and peakaboo (your through). Love how you taught nudge. I’ve been having trouble there so will definitely be using this!

[@romeliaanddixie]

Herd, and ouch (protecting me)

[@allosch9]

My friend taught her dog to do a handstand against the wall! That's one of my faves

[@prettybyte6513]

(1) “Chin” It gets my dogs put their chin on my hand which is always followed by affection then followed by “eyes” to wipe or “leash” being put on, etc. (2) “Visit” Dogs cannot jump up on someone unless they say “visit”. It works for family in a wheelchair plus those like my bf who likes dogs to put front paws on them. (3) ‘Tapping my toes’ means the dogs need to come put their paw on my foot. It’s followed by another command. ... One of my dogs puts his paw on my foot with increased pressure and hard-stares to get my attention at times, too. We don’t know why but since it is only once a week or so, he gets affection and a treat. We figure he knows he did something good even if we have no clue what it was. lol EDIT side note: he did it today and I checked my blood pressure, it was high. Could be a coincidence but going to check next time he does it, too

[@siiiply_amy6125]

Run on command and a high five

[@claudiatwigg6459]

Buddy is the most well-trained dog I've ever seen! He's smart, obedient, and the cutest floof. I can tell he takes his job very seriously. :)

[@MommingwithMigraine]

Will be good for chimken

[@kristimitchell5749]

I always wonder what buddy thinks when you're talking to the camera. "She's... just talking to herself. But love her."

[@inkyjill]

First of all, we don't deserve dogs, they're angels. 😭 Second - Jen, every video I watch my happiness just intensifies for the two of you. I'm so glad that your paths crossed. I got a rescue dog this summer and have disabilities and it's *freaky* how he responds to me! I absolutely love you and Buddy!

[@MommingwithMigraine]

Aww so sweet. Thank you 💜 Love that your dog is attentive to you too!!

[@tamarajohnson355]

It was funny how you said, "Hey Buddy." His ears perked. Then you said, "Hi." And his ears just drop. He was waiting for a command and he realized he wasn't getting one. I love dogs. You guys have done an awesome job with his training.

[@bilibili68]

Buddy is super cute and the way he alerts for migraines is adorable. But I realize his alert also means that you had a migraine later in the day you filmed this. You always look so cheerful and happy in your videos, but we all know how much you deal with on a daily basis. I just wanted to acknowledge this and tell you that you are absolutely amazing for being able to accomplish so much with so many obstacles in your way!

[@MommingwithMigraine]

I appreciate that more than you probably realize. Thank you 💜

[@loes6839]

He is turning away from the camera because it looks like a staring eye so he turns away to let the camera know, he doesn't have any bad intention (calming the camera because it keeps staring at him)

[@AM-tc2ff]

Buddy vid we all know this is gunna be cute 😂

[@MommingwithMigraine]

That's the plan 👌😌

[@wloxya7422]

Okay seeing buddy makes me much calmer about dogs. I’ve been kinda scared of at least big dogs but seeing how well trained buddy is I’m more calm if I was to get a bigger dog because I could train it well so it won’t jump up or bite.

[@MommingwithMigraine]

"Size doesn't matter" 😄 It's totally about training! Goldens are also known for being big goofy love bugs. They're gorgeous family-oriented people pleasers.

[@Em920]

The staredown after Buddy burps in Jen's face 😄

[@evelynharju4285]

People pay thousands to get results like this. It's a huge testament to your hard work with him! Great job!!

[@MommingwithMigraine]

Appreciate it! He's a great pup.

[@silverdeer2515]

You should teach buddy to do your opening. Like a stare down and then a wave. That would make my soul happy. You make me want a well trained dog so much ❤❤❤. Not that i have a dog...

[@MommingwithMigraine]

🤣

[@inekogary8870]

I am so proud of you because as a service dog handler you do a good job on keeping buddy well trained. And that’s very important. Because just like me you take your service dog buddy out in public just like people who has guide dog for their service dog. And yes you want your baby body to be well trained and well behaved out in public. And Listening to your video here it sounds like you are doing a awesome job keep up the good work you and buddy. My girlfriend said your dog buddy looks just like my yellow lab they can pass a plan. And then she told me he’s a big boy I like big dogs awesome specially for guiding me around. Because of not just being blind I am also deaf. So I’m considered deaf blind and my balance is way off so when I go get my service dog guide dog I always choose the big one because it does help with guiding me and balance. My girlfriend she comes over when I want to watch videos like yours and she will sign in my hand to tell me what you are doing because I’m deaf blind. Keep putting out great videos. And I would like to see a video on how your handsome boy buddy works out in public with you. If you’re having a good day that day. Sending you and buddy massive love always

[@corrinecoxwanderingartisan5961]

So darn impressive. One of my dogs barks at firewood. Lol

[@Teilchen2511]

About 16 years ago I adopted a Golden Retriever named Buddy from the shelter. He was a very good boy too. Super high energy, very smart, loved his toys and food. He was easy to train, as long as I did the training in a playful way (as you do). He lived to 12 years and I loved him dearly . Cue to today, me living with a 7 year old second hand Boston Terrier girl. What a huge difference in temperament and willingness to learn. She only knows two commands really (but does them 100% perfectly), "come" and "stop". Because these are necessary for her safety. Any other command is a bit hit and miss with her, like "sit". She does sit, but only if there is something like a pillow or rug under her, never outside, never on a cold floor. She is the most stubborn dog I have ever met, but I love her as much as I loved my well trained Buddy. Your Buddy looks a lot like him. It simultaneously makes me happy and sad to see you interacting with him. Goldens are precious. But I love my stubborn Boston too, she brightens my days and I learned to laugh about her antics instead of trying to force her to do something she really doesn't want to (tricks). Just shows that not every breed is good for every task and even within the breed there are differences. So glad you got Buddy as your companion and I hope your little family will be happy for a long time...

[@delseylove2615]

Your dog is a blessing.

[@sarahwithstars]

I swear Buddy is the most majestic poser when he stares into the middle distance; almost as if he is royalty sitting for his annual portrait❣️ And Buddy has better food self control than I do... I'm a forager too!

[@crystalthompson81]

Came for the floof, stayed for the info. Thank you!

[@divergify416]

Love the foraging command! So cute! I need to teach this to my service dog 🐕‍🦺

[@MommingwithMigraine]

A great party trick 😋

[@MightyMingos]

Thats the same thing we did! My service dog bows in with me and we use the Korean word for bow! We are a family of 5 who all do taekwondo!

[@michelledavis7333]

I love buddy and how he knew before you about how to alert to your migraines. He's a special friend. On another topic, I was watching a common knowledge show and they said avocadoes were high in magnesium and reduced the amount of migraines. This wouldn't help your Potts and you probably already know about them since you were a biochemist. Just wanted to put this out there. Love you and buddy, stay safe.

[@MommingwithMigraine]

I literally ate an avocado with salt and pepper today 😋 did not know they were high magnesium! I eat them for the fat because I'm breastfeeding. I'm on a Mg supplement.

[@madi_is_here_]

I love the commands you use, they feel very humanized instead of some of the super harsh ones! I do the same thing with my SDIT

[@Chantisx]

Hey! You need to change your bio on here! It still says "mom-to-be"... I really enjoyed this video! It was fun to see a mix of Buddy working and playing.

[@Urgelt]

If the dog learns, then it's dog training, and you're a dog trainer, Jen. Pat yourself on the back! It's not like there's only one way to do it. I think the secrets to your successes are: 1) A very bright and cooperative animal; and 2) You're awfully good at reading the dog, getting into his head. You two make quite a good team!

[@dontaskdonttell_]

Dog trainers require extensive knowledge and training experience.

[@Urgelt]

@@dontaskdonttell_ Dog trainers require successfully-trained dogs. It really is that simple. Don't argue that 'professional' dog trainers all use the same methods. And don't argue that Buddy is inadequately trained as a service dog. Those arguments fail.

[@dontaskdonttell_]

@@Urgelt I didn't say either of those things😂 you sound stupid as fuck. I wouldn't hire someone who's trained 1 dog and somehow thinks they're suddenly a dog trainer. But if you would, then that's upto you. You get what you pay for. Dog trainer is a title. Training a dog is a verb. There's a difference. "I've trained my dog" =/= "I'm a dog trainer"

[@bilibili68]

@@dontaskdonttell_ Actually, what you mean is "professional" dog trainers have extensive knowledge and training experience. And that's why they get paid for it, hence the word professional. Jen is a dog trainer, because she trains a dog, just not a professional one. but at the end of the day it's just semantics so probably not worth arguing over. none of us would really hire Jen to train our dogs (though we for sure would take tips from her!)

[@Urgelt]

@@dontaskdonttell_ Heh. I said nothing of Jen hiring out as a trainer. But denying she is an effective trainer is foolish, contravened by obvious and plentiful evidence. It is the evidence, not my mental acuity, upon which we must rely for our conclusion. Suppose you are correct in announcing my stupidity! It matters not at all. The evidence has spoken.

[@s.r.3266]

He is SO WELL-TRAINED! Wow. It’s obvious you’ve worked hard, and that he’s very intelligent. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

I came across your video and I am glad I did. I enjoyed the videos I have binge watched already. Seeing someone explain an invisible disability is refreshing.

I love this video. You have given me lots of ideas. During the pandemic.”stay at home” we worked on many tricks and tasks, but none of these. You have inspired me to adding more.

This was a really interesting video. I just came across your channel and I’m definitely going to subscribe. I like how you were able to explain your Methodology in a way that was clear and comprehensive and easy to understand. I know you said this was the first dog you trained, but did you get help from the trainer? It sounds like you were able to really come up with a way that works for you both. Also how long did it take you to get them to resist food like that must’ve been a while I know Goldens are really food driven.

I have an 8 month puppy I've been trying to teach heel too. He's a male labrador retriever - so very food motivated but I don't know how to make training more fun without him getting off focus because he doesn't always pay attention (I guess that's a puppy for you) - I'm trying to train him to be my autism assistance dog. I have been doing training with him since he was 2 months old but since he was 6 months old and he started to regress in training it made it harder. Now i just think he's a moody teenager 😂 But unsure where to start him again with training. Also, at the moment Max (my puppies name), he's starting to pull on the lead more (hence the heel training) and i try and get him to do heel on the walk to the park but at the park i put him on an extended lead or he's off lead and just let him sniff and play with his other dog friends that go to the park. Is this something you allow with your dog? Or do you have him on a shorter lead? I'm not sure if I'm confusing him by doing this because it's difficult to keep him in heel when there are other dogs around and lots of new smells for him and it just seems cruel but at the same time I want him to know when it's playtime and when to focus. I'm just confused and sorry if any of it's not clear. I'd just really appreciate some help please from you! :) Also, thank you for all of the links!
