To everyone who is a prick. Do you think you could focus on your job with someone screaming at you? Probably be kinda hard. Why should we expect more from an animal? She’s smelling extremely minor scent changes in my body. That’s how medical alerts work. If you couldn’t work being screamed at, why should a dog be expected to do its job while being barked at?? She’s not a robot. It’s no pets for a reason. Federal law protects service animals for a reason.

[@Wendy-dk1wu]

Maybe a seriously worded email with videos of the dogs to Walmart will get them to be more stricked on pets? I don't think they would want a law suit. You should tell them each time you see a dog react you have to take the law into your own hands or your dog won't be able to focus and that also causes you anxiety which can just escalate everything other health issue you have. if you don't say anything since the employees don't do much to help so you have to say something for them causing you emotional distress with Walmart employees and managers being uneducated and having to educate they're employees every time this happens while the the pet owner flees with no reproductions. They really need to take this seriously before someone dies and they have a law suit from the family. It shouldn't be your job to educate them on what is illegally happening in they're store they should already be trained. This email need to go beyond management tbh

Honestly, with the size difference, she's lucky to still have her dog at all. Absolutely inexcusable behaviour. My assistance dog is fairly big, thankfully, and has been able to defend himself well in the past (not while working, his brother's owners were very irresponsible and let him attack my dog 3x) but I still worry about him becoming reactive if another dog attacks him. I can't imagine the anxiety small SD handlers go through...Also, if you're going to put your dog in a cart (illegal), at least DON'T LET THEM JUMP OUT OF THE CART!! Jesus.

my service poodle has been attacked 3 times with last one purposely jumping on me knocking me down to get my Working dog , Now my Service animal whom always submitts even during the attack now wears a pinch collar with prongs sticking outward so attacking dogs going for his neck will get a bloody mouth from biting down on prongs, I carry mace to mace any attacking dog as he runs at us and I'm willing to kick the crap out of any pet attacking even though I have neuropathy and stability issues cause even cops don't follow laws that protect service dogs so I will protect him with all I've got.

We are all in our reality and if anything I will be supporting more being able to bring its spirit animal inside without tattle tails bc those tails will soon be explored. The story we have heard 2 of every animal on the ark. Well in my heart this world is water and the more we want to focus on what we think others are doing wrong I will kindly step in and state. The rules are man made. Spirit operates in another world past physical aware the heartbeat is connected to our bestfriend. Inner best friend we call the Dog. Look in the mirror that is God Blood connected to (Wolf). Animals mammals humans we do what we continue to get away with. As my awareness grow and my spirit animal connection I will want and support people to take the pet where it like and people will learn to live in a world we create our rules on our spirits and not these man made rules. It obviously is bringing you so much energy and whatever and wherever controls your emotions control you. Energy in motion. Targeting you can only control how you act through these experiences what can you now do to bring peace in your life. Spiritual Advising ..Sacred purpose connection. Let's turn to the inside and sniff Uranus. The world shifted into the shut up yet I get where you are coming from so how about you utilize resources at home delivery so you may stay home and allow these people (all energy that doesn't die instead expand in our awareness) and these spirit animals free. These spirit animals are speaking it like fresh air and not kept home in the box. How have you felt during Corona in this box. Again we all are about to be facing the animal rise through us the indigenous warrior tribe through love and peace. Without you governing and dictating on where each should be. Corona when Googled is another word for crown. Chakras the top is the crown. Crown yourself with what you knew has been prophesied by the indigenous tribes. We knew we would return to flick the sleep sheep flock. And where are you in this hologram with infinite wisdom truth and belief. Our family is here to place bk our knowledge. Wisdom. The ancients speak. I feel enough to know how to hit when weak. This world has done enough attempting to cage and alienate by bringing out our bait. All on the inside of you is your reality, the inner gate. Some of these parasitic energies love drama by focusing on this yet its weak. Change your inner you, you can shift the world to speak. Peace to your heart once you see and feel what indigenous has been behind alllll these years True Kings don't die. We multiply. My bloodline is connected to many who refer to him as the savior yet it is our own inner wounded healer that will be doing the saving. I just love to cut these lights on and deliver these babies. Internal baby. We birthed our lands truth . United I will stand with my one truth ready to accept I blew these houses down to expose the innerworld. The snake. Serpent. Kundalini energy.

They don't need another excuse to do it. If it wouldn't impact real service animals then the government and ADA would have done it already. Not everyone's gonna do the homework and educate themselves on the difference between a real and fake service animal. They are going to just call the cops every time they see an animal and let them deal with it. You think that wouldn't impact disabled people at all?

Not related to this but I'm so proud of my school. A mother with a service dog was walking past and a few kids went to pay it and I just saw my friend say no don't pet it. I don't think it was a service dog I thing it was an emotional support dog. It seemed VERY scared of everyone and the (I was kinda far away) dog didnt look like it had the normal patches. But either way still very well behaved and in a good heel. How ESD should be not barking not sniffing around not any of that and definitely NOT in the cart or in hands or being held back. I am pretty sure I might be getting a SD. I'm getting tested for some things for the diagnosis n also for PTSD n other stuff. Im kinda scared. I don't live in America and I havnt seen many fake SD. Maybe the odd one or 2 a year thankfully.

My Service Dog in training was attacked at a pet store and the trainer and managers handled it wonderfully. I had to let go of my SD leash so he could get away. The trainer called me and my dog over to see if we were okay and then him and the manager kicked the other dog out. The lady was smiling when her dog attacked mine. My Service Dog in training was only 9 months old, we had just got out of his training for the day. The trainer said he handled it wonderfully though because he shook it off and moved on. It took him a day of loves to get back to normal, but he's fine now. We got really lucky cause the other dog almost broke his skin to draw blood.

The other woman's dog is a pet not a service dog it lellgay can not be there it's a non pet friendly store let alone in a shopping cart. It's actually illegal unless it's a service animal. Not only is a health code violation but also a misdemeanor it's basically claiming a pet as a trained service animal if you take that pet onto a place that only service animals can go. Even Service animals are not allowed in shopping carts it's a health code violation and illegal The U.S. Department of Justice released this week a new technical assistance document entitled “Frequently Asked Questions About Service Animals and the ADA.” It is in that document that it is made clear that service animals are not allowed in shopping carts. This document is intended to clarify questions about the official ADA regulations related to service animals. Title III of the ADA laws is the one that pertains to service animals. The new FAQ ¬_ specifically Question 31 _ states that stores are not required to allow service animals in shopping carts. Another question relates to the protocol for restaurants, bars and other eateries. The document also specifies other particulars for service animals, including that service animals are allowed in restaurants, bars and other such places but must remain on the floor and cannot be seated at the table. Rules exist for a reason and when it comes to Service Dogs and Service Dog law, too many people have come to view them more as “guidelines.” Whether it’s someone who wishes they could take their dog everywhere or someone who has chosen to break the law by presenting their pet as a fake Service Dog, both actions cause damage and harm to the Service Dog and disabled community.

Fellow service dog handler here. Honest question: Who is being more distracting to the dog? Random other dogs that if you ignored them might encounter you twice in store or you panicking over every dog you see and creating confrontational distractions? No, those dogs shouldn't have been in Walmart, but your anxiety has a scent, too, and it's likely making for a confusing cocktail when you're angry and anxious. I tended to do the same at first and all of that gets transmitted down the leash. I realized my health was more important than trying to police the world. Me and my service dog are better off for it.

[@ServiceDogPaws]

I’ve been a service for over seven years now. This puppy is my second service dog. And in the beginning I did it. And seven years later I still do it. yeah, my anxiety definitely increases, but at the same time if nobody says anything it’ll never change. And so while I could save myself some anxiety and some trouble and some chest pain and my heart problems, etc. I still choose to do it. Because in the long run, I think trying to make a differences more important to me personally, then, just trying to look out for my own welfare. I don’t expect everyone to do what I do.

@@noellethomas2589 Wal-Mart is notorious for not upholfing the ADA laws or doing ANYTHING about fake dogs until someone gets hurt. The youtuber Service Dog Paws litterly had to put herself in harms way in the past just to get a manager make them obey not just corprate policy but also THE LAW. There have been many service dog teams injured disabled people hurt NEARLY KILLED by people bringing pets that are agessive and Wal-Mart shutting a blind eye until someone got hurt. In another place just like this there was a six year old girl whose face got mauled do to a manager and the workers doing NOTHING when a wonan brought in a clearly untrained "service dog into their place of employment. Wal-Mart corpetate page says: Walmart welcomes service animals as defined by the ADA in our stores, and we recognize the important role they play in many of our customers' lives. We do not allow pets in our stores. Can I put my puppy or dog in a stroller and take it into a Walmart store? No, you cannot take your dog in a stroller into a Walmart store. Only service dogs are allowed in the store, and a service dog should not be in a stroller. Can I carry my dog in Walmart? No, you cannot carry your dog in a Walmart store. Walmart policy only allows service dogs in the store, and they are not to be carried. Ada Law says: Only service animals have public access right. Service animals are dogs or mini horses that have public access rights and are protect by the ADA law. They preform life saving tasks or a task that there handler can not do them self such as ( guide, medical alert, mobility, fetching, getting help exct) emotional support is not a task by the ADA law. Bringing a non service animal into a service dog only establishment is claiming that animal as a service animal. Falsely labeling your animal can result in a fine up to 1,000 dollars and 6 months in jail and community service depending on your state. You will also be held responsible for injuries inflicted on a service animal if your pet attacks a working dog.

[@fireiron369]

Although it is possible for service dogs to be trained to ignore other dogs that doesn’t really matter. A service dog may be able to ignore other dogs but then might also ignore a signal. Bear in mind as well that Mya is young and inexperienced and cannot just ignore other dogs and even if that is a trainable skill, is Dom just supposed to self isolate at home for years until Mya learns to ignore other dogs (a skill that may not even be teachable)? It’s a good idea but Dom is no idiot and has had multiple service dogs, she is an experienced service dog handler so she undoubtedly knows whether you can train a service dog to ignore other dogs or not. Also if it was so easy to train a service dog to ignore other dogs, why are the other dogs banned from stores/why is it illegal to distract a service dog?

I lost my service dog of 12 years, he never reacted or responded to other dogs or people. I could not have asked for a better dog his training was perfect. I see people with untrained dogs all the time. I never said anything about it because my Bear was never distracted by them, I was lucky to have had my Bear for 12 wonderful years. People who bring pets into stores are not fooling anyone with a real service dog. People do not understand the difference between a service dog and an emotional support dog. Business can deny access to emotional support dogs but as long as a service dog is well trained and of course non aggressive the only places they aren't allowed are a burn unit and an operating room. Bear was my constant companion and never once acted out. Bear slept by my side every night. He was a diabetic dog so he had to able to smell my breath he alerted me many times at night when my blood sugar was too low. He saved my life more than once. My advice to you is to train your dog not to react to other animals and people, it will be much better than a constant battle with life's idiots. Life is way too short to worry about what other people are doing wrong. Good luck to you.

Agree. I would talk to an employee or manager because in reality it's not a customer's position to tell another customer to leave a store, even when we know they're not allowed in.

The ADA was written in 1990. It governs service dog laws. They’ve never required your note to be shown. Although many places believe it should be. I have my note.

The dog barking at the service animal is indeed very wrong. The owner should NOT have brought her into the store. It is incredibly dangerous of her. HOWEVER, a pet being in the store that is not causing issues or barking/growling/etc. should not be distracting to a trained service animal. Service animals are tasked to ignore distractions. Of course, barking and antagonizing people/dogs should NOT BE ALLOWED in these areas, and yes that dog was not supposed to be in this particular store, but again I think that this particular situation was a bit of an overreaction. My SDiT is currently in the focus/distraction phases of training and he is trained to ignore these particular distractions in the real world. To summarize: No that dog and owner should NOT have been there. The dog barking was definitely a confirmation of that. But a service dog should be trained to ignore/avoid these encounters. EDIT: To ALL owners in these situations, it is NOT the dog's fault. It is the owners. Do NOT blame the dog directly. Blame the owner.

As someone with POTS, you can still drive. It is more like if we are having bad days we don't drive obviously, but if we are feeling fine usually it is okay. We are sitting too at the time not stuck standing for long periods of time so the blood usually doesn't pool as badly in our legs. If feeling lightheaded in the car ride you pull over and maybe call someone if you are not with anyone at the time. Having a service dog in this scenario can be incredibly helpful too because we can't always tell when we will be hit with a fainting episode and so can be alerted to it, however most of the time you get this feeling of illness, lightheadness, or just know I don't know exactly how to describe it. If you feel any of those things again you just pull over or don't drive on that day to begin with if it has been a rough day or week for fainting spells.

I have POTS too, and if I’m having a bad day I don’t drive, (insert imaginary disaster here!) When we feel good, it’s very rare to have a spell while sitting, mostly standing and walking. I’m always careful, I would never forgive myself if I caused an accident.

I agree with you 100%. I carry cards to. Lucy my Golden Retriever has been trained for Medical Alert and PTSD. I still do training all the time to keep her up-to-date.

Sorry for my language, but what the fluff?!?!? People need to leave their pets to pet friendly areas only

[@dorothydickson232]

I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND WALMART WILL NOT DO A DAMN THING ABOUT IT.

I'll watch after breakfast, hating the flu I'm having so my throat is a burning Sahara

I don't have an emotional support dog, and l understand that some people lie and say their dog is an emotional support dog, but It's not fair for you to saw emotional dogs do not count. I'm not trying to start anything with you, and my Mother's has severe diabetes, so I get what you go through. So if someone is suicidal and has an emotional support dog that helps to keep them alive, why is that any different!?

[@laylonlee229]

If a dog helps with certain things like that, then it is considered to be a service dog. I was considering getting one because I have anxiety, depression, PTSD, severe panic disorder, AND agoraphobia. Even if you have just a mental illness(es), it's still a service dog that's WELL TRAINED. An emotional support dog (most of the time) is for someone who doesn't have a disability. (A disability is something that effects people in their everyday life). And with that being said, emotional support animals are for people that maybe don't like heights etc., so they would take them on a plane or something like that. And most of the time emotional support animals aren't trained. At least not like service dogs. Service dogs are dogs that are TRAINED and helps with EVERYDAY tasks. If someone had a trained dog for a mental illness like depression or suicidal thoughts etc. then that's not a emotional support dog, it's a service dog. There is a big difference between them. Plus it's ADA Law that emotional support animals not be allowed in public spaces in certain situations.

[@fantasygirlstudio4659]

Emotional support animals do not have the same legal rights as service dogs. Emotional support under the law have no access farther than having them where ever you live even if it's not a pet freindly apartment abd without having to pay a pet fee however they have no public access rights to non pet freindly bussniess only task trained sevice dogs do.

Hello first time commenting here. Do you have any videos of how you train your dog to alert to blood sugar issues? Just asking thank you.

[@aztridvozza9481]

You are so right at this time sometimes you can't Tell which animal is a service animal and which is a pet because sometimes a pet is very well behaved

[@thatonerobloxplayer2625]

Your so pretty I can tell your husband treats you right

[@PatchworkRose567]

It’s not like Walmart is a small store with few isles. That woman was definitely going near you on purpose multiple times. The one bad thing about the store being so big is that the managers are stretched thin as is so trying to balance other “complaints” and real ones like this that by the time they get the time to get to it, the issue is already resolved for they left.

i was homeschooled till 7th grade but my mom taught me stranger dog rules at probibly 4 or 5 years old. don't go touch a service dog, ask the owner before petting a pet, let the dog sniff your hand first. teach 👏your👏kids👏proper👏dog👏manners👏. if you don't one day your kid is gonna run up to a dog make it stressed and the dog will bite them. and it wont be the dogs fault, it wont be the owners fault, it wont even be the kids fault. it will be YOUR fault and because of you not teaching them they have a dog bite on their face and you have a crying kid. and in my opinion you should not be able to sue for that or anything. what would you do if someone ran full speed at you and starts idk hugging you or something, a complete stranger, without permission. for some dogs that is how it feels, and while there ARE dogs that would be offended if you don't (mine included) don't take chances. rant over sorry for the grammer

[@4pawedlifesavertraining870]

people like this piss me off so bad that make people think service dogs are terribly trained and act aggressive and barks at other people/dogs

[@myzui6951]

But honestly you're also hyper focusing on the other dog, which shows your dog that it's something important that needs attention. I think you would do yourself a favor if you concentrate on yourself and show your dog that this is not important at all. Even gives me a stress level just watching you being focused and pissed off.

Yesterday my husband and I were standing in line at a truck stop buffet. He is a Type 1 Diabetic on insulin and his blood sugar was dropping rapidly. The line was very long, moving slowly. He has a sensor on his arm, his blood sugar was dropping from 60 to 58 and going rapidly down. I was calling for help because he needed to eat, I told them it was a medical emergency. My husband was getting woozy, he was trembling and started to fall backwards. A man behind him caught him and held him up. Do you know that not one person offered to let him get something to eat, he had to wait his damn turn!

[@jennalopez9772]

I hate ppl that follow me and my sdit in a pet store or even follow me and my pet dog in a pet friendly place It drives me insane and I can't take that at all
