as someone with a golden doodle they really did want to make it "the best of both breeds" and some doodles dont turn out as great as they plan it to. Maggie is wonderful at her and she is my whole word and is often checked health wise but its still a scary thought. she is completely healthy btw!! But the Fab Four is the Fab Four for a reason lol
totally! i am glad you understand! and i was not trying to offend doodle owners at all just so you know! also i am so glad she is healthy :)
@@thepawswithpurpose definitely not offended! you sharing this information with hopefully make more people understand that working doodles isn’t always the best!
I have a German Shepherd as a psychiatric service dog and she is amazing, but not every dog is the same ofc. I am also very experienced with the breed.
edit: at one point in my life I had 6 at a time, now I only have two
nice! that is so awesome! i'm glad to hear that :)
I have a GSD mix who does Psychiatric work too.
I am just beginning my journey into the world of service dogs and this was actually a great help. Thank you
i'm so glad it was helpful! good luck on your journey.
Same here I found this super helpful if you have anymore advice please do let me know, as in starting out I've been ringing around places and I'm thinking of going doing the psychiatric dog route as I suffer with anxiety which affects my breathing and my legs shake occasionally I feel that dpt would help with my breathing
I have a goldendoodle and sheepadoodle service dogs! They are the smartest dogs I’ve ever seen and were able to sense any sort of stress before we trained them to and they can learn tasks in 1 session!
My fully trained service dog is a standard poodle!! I love the breed so much and see so many successful teams that are service dog’s.
totally! spoos rock.
I have been doing research for a while to get a service dog because I am disabled in a couple different ways and your channel has helped a lot for my research so thank you
Recently been diagnosed with a heart issue (not even a week ago), and theres still a lot unknown with it right now, but I’m looking into service dogs to get ahead of the ball and be prepared incase it comes down to this. Thank you for all your videos! ❤
Your videos are very entertaining and very educational. I just got approved/recommended for a service dog by my psychiatrist for autism, OCD, ADHD, Depression, Anxiety, and Panic disorder. I'm doing as much research as I possibly can while I can, and this is a huge help. You also managed to keep my attention really well with your editing and etc.! You have a way with words even if you stumble on occasion (smartness for example, it just felt like you were a real person giving advice casually rather than condescendingly or strictly, and boosts comfort levels) and it just makes you seem more relatable and easy to relax to when watching your videos--kind of casual. That doesn't mean people who state the facts are bad, it's just amazing that you don't falter even if you stumble! All in all, Very fun, engaging, and educational and I look forward to more of your content!
Great job on the video! I had a Rottweiler that I certified in Therapy work. We went to nursing homes. I had one of the residents pat her on top of her head 4x so hard that it made my Rottie blink all 4x. 😆 She just sat there and took it. You could tell she loved giving her love to the residents! I miss her! RIP Mecy. 💜🐾
My service dog is a Portuguese water dog. The program where he's from mainly works with Labradors and Porties (they prefer them over Poodles) as a hypoallergenic breed and I can say they're a really great choice! It's very important to look out for a reputable breeder though because they're quite active and on the sensitive side of dogs therefore they need a stable upbringing to qualify for service dog work later on.
Awww that's so cool!!, i never heard of a pwd as a SD before!
Agree with the Doodle - get a Poodle if you want hypoallergenic. You can get their hair cut like a Doodle anyway :)
I've seen great Doodle SD's but I've also seen MORE psychotic doodles!
LMK if you ever wanna collab on your experience on my channel
We’re entering into this world for my daughter and trying to learn as much as we can before committing to a dog and all of your content is so helpful!! Thank you for posting all of your research and experience. 💗
Hello 👋
I am disabled and in the process of beginning my training with Jax as my service child. ( I say child because that’s what he has become to me and he acts the part especially the terrible two’s!)
I absolutely loved your video and look forward to enjoying more of them soon!
As for people and their bad comments, try to remember that they are A**holes and those of us that are here with any common sense or any level of decency will either ignore their BS or defend you to the hilt. So no worries Beautiful!! You did a fabulous job!! Have a wonderful day!
hahah oh my gosh, thank you so muchhhh!!!!!! you are so nice!! i appreciate you :)
I’m really digging poodles lately for some reason 🤣 my first pick for service work is a German shepherd because they are just amazing dogs. And from experience gsds make amazing psych dogs lol. They only feed off of emotions if they are poorly bred.
yeah i think it really depends on the dog!! :)
I had a service dog american eskimo he worked for 15 years and passed at 17 vet said the work and on the go lifestyle kept him healthy and pass his lifespan plus never seen this breed be a service dog we miss my dog so much
I also know that Bernese Mountain Dogs can be quite alright aswell
They’re very good for therapy and support, and can also be a fairly well psychiatric doggo
Im thank you for the video! Im in the process of battling stage 4 cancer and I am completely and permanently legally disabled so I actually started thinking about getting a SD. definitely doing all the research and will be talking to my doctors and physiatrists about this
I have stage 4 cancer as well.
Hang in there dude, we got this! :]
@@appleglassjuice11 I'm so sorry. Thank you for sharing that tho. I really hope we both get through this
I have a lab mix she’s got a good bit of gun dog in her other than lab such as Weimeriner, and springer spaniel and a few other breeds she’s five months old and so, so smart but, we have a lot to work on. I decided to try taking her to a dog friendly restaurant today after we had been walking in and out of stores for some groceries. She did great walking in, while I ordered the food while I talked to someone about her sun glasses (at which point she was rubbing a little on me so I think I need to readjust them as they might have been a tad tight idk 🤷♀️ I’ll have to check) tried to figure out a table away from folks sat down and realized I needed some water. She has a solid down stay at home and USUALLY out in public but today wasn’t one of those days. I relented as I needed some water so had her follow me up then she stops right before the drink station right in the path of the door into the kitchen. Took a second to realize why and it was due to the sound the soda machine was making. It was embarrassing but it’s not like I can train her for that particular sound/ atmosphere. That is something I can’t prompt her for and just have to take her to places with that atmosphere more often. Honestly the way she stopped I thought she had gotten the runs (which would have been even MORE embarrassing as she seemed fine that day) but thankfully she hadn’t. Nor has she had an accident in store aside the pet store when she was maybe 12-14 weeks old because she got overly excited by some folks but I had napkins with me to clean up.
In any case I got my water and once we were back I got her to lay back down beside me not exactly where I wanted her on the inside but it’s fine I took the inside and she took the outside blocking me in. So just adding more of that to my list of things to work on I guess. I anticipate even more embarrassing things like this to come for the next two years but I’m sure it will be less and less as often is the case with repetition
In your eyes the first smartest Finn at the top!!!
I have been thinking about getting a SD and have done tons of research any breed in particular you recommend for anxiety?
Great video! Really helpful for someone like me who is not new to dogs but *is* new to service dogs and am in the process of getting approved for one as a psychiatric/autism assistance dog. Doing all the research I can but sometimes it's so overwhelming
As someone who has had a medical German Shepherd service dog, mine was totally not high strung.
My biggest issue is that he wasn’t as in tune with me as I wish he had been and my dog was actually kind of rare, because he’s somewhat lazy.
He will be turning eight this year, which means he is formally retired. However, I do have luxury of getting to keep my medical service dogs once they retire. I know not everyone gets to do this, so I consider myself extremely lucky. My medical service dogs will not be rehomed, they just get to live out their days with me.
I’m back to watching these kinds of videos, seeing as I am looking for a new dog to take up that role as my old one gets to enjoy his well deserved retirement.
The one thing I do have to encourage people on who have PTSD to remember is if the dog is not in tune to your mental state, they may not realize they need to do the interruption tasks.
This can be a huge problem and it’s part of why so many people do go with service dogs that feed off their mental state. I personally, really need a dog that’s going to recognize both of my physical needs and mental health. So the fab four, usually don’t work out well for me.
I've got an Australian Shepherd as my Psychiatric SD. Ironically, I got this boy because the breeder I was originally going to go to for a European Golden weren't producing puppies for the rest of the year (one breed attempt before all the Dams were taking their break for the rest of the year and it was unsuccessful sadly), so I did more research and took into Aussie's.
Obviously, he's a herding dog and can be a bit of a pain with his own set of challenges, but I'd definitely say he has been a unique first for me.
I still plan to get a Golden as my next prospect, but I'm taking this time to learn what I can do better next time and obviously enjoy the years I have left with my current boy until he retires lol
that is so awesome!!!!!! i'm so glad that worked out for you! aussies can be handfuls but also super fun! that's so good to hear :)
I am wanting an Aussie for my first SD, how is yours doing?? How is the training and how are they picking it up?😃
My Aussie has picked up on his training really quickly! He's a bit of a devious little boy due to how intelligent he is, but he definitely knows when it is time to work and easily switch into gear once the vest is on!
Staying true to his breed as well, he is always the happiest when on duty or has something productive to do and tends to look forward to working when he knows we're going somewhere
@@SeraphinaVT that's so awesome! I'm really hoping to get my soon and I want a very happy to work puppy as well! Picking puppies seems a bit stressful, did you puck yours or have a trainers help or was it picked for you?
I picked mine out myself! I apologize in advance if this is a very long post lol
To be honest, it was a bit scary and daunting as it was my very first time picking out a prospect as well and the fear of potentially picking the wrong one made me really anxious. It didn't help that a quarter way through training him, I was starting to have my doubts due to how much of a pain in the butt he was as a pup.
However, I did some basic tests on the pup to help my chances of getting the right one! I was a bit unlucky in the fact that I didn't have many to choose from since majority of the pups were already claimed by the time I contacted the breeder. The two pups I was presented were both very well behaved already though and only had to do these tests on one pup!
1: lightly pinching between their toes ; as a puppy, my SD didn't really seem to care all that much - he wouldn't hold a grudge or anything and for the first few times, gently moved his paw away before just letting me touch them and lightly pinch between his toes.
2: willingness to follow ; taking my prospect away from his siblings and mother, i placed him on the ground to see if he was willing to follow me - often times he'd look back and occasionally stop and turn around. however, after encouraging him with a few kissy sounds and gentle but excited voice, he eventually hopped/ran to me and kept up!
I didn't manage to do more little tests on his personality, but he definitely had a drive to learn and was a very inquisitive pup, so I had no worries on whether he'd give up halfway through training. He also imprinted and trusted me very early on to the point that he was trying to suckle my arm while I was filling out the papers to buy him (he stayed with me for bonding during that moment before parting ways as I had to wait a couple more weeks until he was fully weened).
Not to mention, he fell asleep in my arms and ate out of my hand the very day we picked him up to bring him home.
This was a really interesting video. I was like finding out which dog breeds is most recommended for which type of service work. What are some common types of service work that smooth and rough collie‘s are typically good at? I hadn’t heard of them as being a popular service dog breed until you mentioned it either. I had heard that another reason why huskies aren’t always a good service dog choice is that they can be very stubborn and therefore difficult to train.
i know of a couple psychiatric collies who do awesome!!! i've heard they also do well with medical alert stuff. probably anything except for heavy mobility work. and yes, huskies are usually pretty stubborn hahah! :)
@@thepawswithpurpose I’m surprised that the well with psychiatric work, I would’ve thought that they were like the Shepherd and fed off their handilers emltions.
My first VA Service Dog was a Peekapoo..my second was a long haired Rottweiler. Now at 59 years old. I am training my last Service Dog. This time I chose a Golden Doodle F1
So fare this is the easiest training dog yet.
I’m getting a poodle soon for a service dog and I’m excited. Encouraging to know it’s a good dog for the job.
My sd recently learned how to make kissy noises... we blow him kisses alot. Lol. Now if we tell him to do something off duty and he doesn't want to he'll *blow us kisses and walk off or if we're sitting he'll do his kisses and the promptly lay on his back in your lap and demand rubs 🤣 it always amazes me how great he is in public, when we are home he'll still alert if he needs to but he's kinda a wild card, he's gotta whole lot of personality. Makes me laugh when people accuse me of making him work 24-7.
This video is so informative and you have great energy omg thanks for making this
i'm so glad!!!!
I have major depression and I get anxious very easily and other things so I’m thinking of getting a lab! Probably a chocolate lab because the name sounds so cute but also because I read one of your replies to a comment that said that labs and other breeds are a good choice
I love this video! Most of this is spot on! Although I have learned as a groomer, German shepherds have a higher grooming maintinance (sp) than a lot of people think! Especially in blow out season! I currently have a standard poodle. I have no idea what I will get after my girl retires. I want a dog that kind of keeps people away (my girl was the runt of her litter so she's super cute and everyone wants to see her) and I want something handler oriented. I don't vibe with labs and Goldens, so I am limited to my choices!
the fab four from what i've always heard is standard poodles, goldens, labs, and German Shepherds not collies
nope, it is actually collies. but in my opinion, collies should not be in the fab four and it should just be the other three!
@@thepawswithpurpose Rough and smooth collies are picked over german shepherds because they are lower energy and don't have strong guarding instincts like the german shepherd
this video is awesome !! right now, I'm trying to decide between a poodle and a lab to be my future psychiatric service dog. it's such a tough choice,,,,,,,,,I know the maintenance on a lab's coat is way easier, but I met the sweetest black standard poodle during my stay at a ronald mcdonald house and absolutely fell in love with the breed. he was a show dog that came in for therapy dog work. before that, I hated poodles with a burning passion,,,,,,,,I thought they were all yappy, small dogs which is so far from the truth ㅠvㅠ this video might have just been the final push I needed towards finally choosing a poodle LOL. thank you !!
ah thank you so much! and how exciting!!!! i also wasn't a huge poodle fan for a while because i misunderstood them so much but now i'm obsessed. they are the best. :,) i'm super glad this helped youuuu!
i really like this video! personally, i dont have one of the fab four but thats only because i need a bigger dog. i would truly recommend the fab four for handlers who need a medium-small dog.
I wish there were more small dog breeds that have info around suitability for service work. Whenever i try to look up "best small breeds for service dog" I will find an article with that exact title and then the actual article is about ESAs! I'm in Australia so we don't even have ESAs and there's barely any service dogs, most of which are organisation trained so there's no info and it's super difficult to find service dog line breeders at all, let alone for something other than a lab. Unfortunately, the only service dog line breeders I have found so far are golden doodles which 1. doodles are a bit questionable and 2. I cannot handle a poodle's grooming requirements. I'm having to research individual breeds and the best I can get from breeders is that they have dogs that make good therapy dogs which is obviously super different. Even the training org I called up didn't have breed suggestions for small dogs except doodles. I am so sad. It's already super stressful trying to apply for funding, save up, choose a training org (in Australia you have to have a dog trained by registered service dog trainers from your state before you can even do the PAT-which is compulsory), and find a breeder without a list of typically good breeds (like the fab 4). Also it's currently flooding in Australia so the dog shows this weekend have all been cancelled.
I don't want a big breed because I want a dog that is easier to brush and transport (I'm usually in hospital for a couple weeks at least once a year and don't want to have to bring heaps of food). I also get hurt pretty easily and since I can't get a pretrained dog, I want a dog that is less likely to hurt me during training by stepping or leaning on me (it doesn't damage me but it hurts and I think it would affect my relationship with a dog even once they are trained to no longer do that). I also want a dog that's cheaper in terms of supplies like food, toys, beds, collars (here you have to wear the vest from your training org so I won't have to worry about finding my own service dog gear) and professional grooming.
My GP, therapist and psychiatrist and even my mum are very into the idea but it's so difficult to get a service dog in Australia and there are very little resources. All the orgs that place pretrained dogs for free only give psychiatric service dogs to veterans and first responders and I even tho I have autism and my dog would be helping with that as well as other conditions they only provide autism service dogs to "families with autism" AKA autistic kids. If I want a service dog I'm either going to have to pay for and train it myself whilst still paying thousands of dollars to work with a training org or successfully get on the NDIS which is very difficult and can take years.
I'm sorry for the rant. It was a great video! I'm just 5hrs into another day of service dog research since everything cancelled because of the floods and feeling really anxious and frustrated. I'm like you and I am very much a research person. I have almost everything else figured out: tasks, first year costs, tossing up between 2 training orgs, dog's routine, groomer, vet clinic, my university is very service dog friendly as is my job and hospital. I'm just having a hard time on the breed and having the dog shows tomorrow cancelled and one of my cats being a little sick is not great for my anxiety (my cat doesn't want cuddles so he can't comfort me). I just want to be able to make good progress! I read an entire book on Papillons but I'm still terrified I'm going to choose the wrong breed and have my dog wash. And if my dog is just a pet then I will have to be separated from them for extended periods each year when I'm at my worse mental healthwise and I think that would be bad for both me and my dog.
TLDR: Australia and service dogs is really sucky
I have a German shepherd mix, that we have to re-home, because she isn't fit for service work, and shes aggressive (the main reason is because of her aggression) she recently bit by grandpa and i can't risk her biting one of my little sister (5 and 10 years old) i just can't risk it, and i feel really bad but i cant imagine if she bit one of my sisters, so she has to be re-homed, i feel like a horrible owner. But i feel like she will be happer in a home without kids and other dogs (we have a great Dane also).
I have a unique breed... a shetland sheepdog! They make great service dogs!
which is a cousin to a collie!
that's awesome! i wouldn't have thought of that one :)
I love your video. I am starting the process of looking for a service dog, and it is so hard to decide what breed that I need. I know that you said that the poodle needs to be groomed daily, but does it shed a ton? I am needing a breed that sheds a little as possible. Also, is a poodle great for mobility if I am about to faint? Also, is it good with recognizing scents that I am allergic to or possibly just recognizing if I am going into anaphylaxis or tachycardia?
This is very interesting, thank you. Your pup is so cute!!
thanks!!!!! :)
Thanks so much for the video. Really helped with the research for the right breed.
My springer spaniel is a Psychiatric service dog in training ❤️
aww! thats so awesome! :)
I have a golden retriever that I got for free idk what her bloodline is but I am planning to train her to be my service dog I am planning to train her to stay first but she is about 1 year old is that too old to start tranning???
GREAT DANES MAKE GREAT THERAPY ANIMALS BECAUSE THEY CAN BE GOOD FOR CALMING WEIGHT
you have beautiful eyes 🙏🙏(im not a weirdo i was legit just thinking they looked really pretty)
Nice details. Thanks for sharing
I have 2 toddlers but I have epilepsy, ptsd, Bpd, broken ankles and I fall and get dizzy. Any suggestions? I don’t leave my house often but I do have a yard and me and my boys go outside and play; we’re trying to move into a house; but I’m in a town house for now.
I currently have a service corgi in training
Interesting how 3 of the 4 were originally breed as retrievers and 2 were breed as water retrievers
So my mom is allergic to dogs and she wanted to know how to get one that’s ADHD but hyper allergenic. Can you post a video about that?
Looking for information on service dogs so this is helpful. Thinking on Poodles cause of my asthma and bronchitis. I want a toy poodle because I live in a small one bedroom apartment.
Very great and educational video! I agree with everything you said!
I should get f1 flat coat golden doodle or Newfoundland dog or Berndoodle or golden retriever for service I have social anxiety ? I have golden doodle and snchoodle they fb1
I want training for orbit and block and stop myself hit
🙏 thank you. Looking for a service dog for my anxiety
I have a doodle SD and yes she has her moments but we are working on that yesterday an ESA got right into her face so yeah sad
I want to get back into Theray service work. I have 2 dogs that would not be bad at it, but not the greatest. Thinking about a Standard Poodle or Poodle mix in the medium side.
I knew a kid at my school who hated his golden retriever guide dog. It led him into traffic
Be kind to EVERYONE, in your everyday life and especially in the comments down below.
Thank you for sharing all the research, you are very well spoken and I love your attitude!! I know you are going to be a great success, looking forward to more videos, new subscriber!!👍👍
thanks so so much!!!! i really appreciate that :)
this was informative thank you
I’m started my journey to getting a service dog. I have a question: how did your family respond to you getting a service dog?
I’m looking into getting a borador ( border collie and lab mix ) as my service dog it’s just so hard getting the right height and weight of dog to do forward momentum and still be the right dog for me ! Anyone got some ideas
Thank you for the video it helps alot keep up the videos
Me having a Great Dane as a service dog sitting here like “aww u didn’t mention Great Dane’s they’re so great for mobility.”
@@alanana_ah i didnt see😮
@@alanana_lemme rewatch
Thank you for this!!
The only dog in the fab 4 is the poodle because I’m allergic to dogs that sheds a lot
Another note- golden retrievers stay a “puppy” until they are like 4 years old.
My Labrador is lazy to a point. When she is around a cattle dog she becomes this high energy dog I never seen beforw
can you do a video on German shepherd husky mix as a Service dog
How do you make your thumbnails? And please I’m begging you make a video on how you edit!
OMG I'M SO SORRY i promise i will do it this week!!!! ;)
U and your service dog look so beautiful.
I have a question So If you/ when you get a service dog Do you get to Choose The Breed Or If you want it To Be a Big Dog Or Little One?
it depends on what you need! if you need mobility you will choose a bigger breed, etc. but the choice is up to you! unless you are getting a service dog through a program! :)
I am housebound due to seizures. This is existing not living. Is there any place that will help me with getting and training a dog. I don’t have between $30-$50,000, if I did I would be right there. I am terrified that I will get hurt or be taken advantage of during a surgery. I sat in a car dealership for 4 hours seizing and recovering and nobody notices. When I was able to pull it together I didn’t know where I was, couldn’t speak and went into the bathroom got sick and cried. It took me 2 hours to get home and I live 15 minutes away. Befor it happened I could find my way to the dealership a nd could barely stand. Please help
Do you know where to get a rough collie service dog?
I have been looking into a service dog for my severe anxiety disorder and I might get a poodle?
completely off topic but you are so gorgeous
Thank you much for your information, my Luv.
Which breed would be the best for a psychiatric, mental service dog?
theres not a one size fits all for service dogs, it truly depends on your needs and lifestyle. i recommend starting to look into golden retrievers (mostly used for psychiatric work of the fab four,) and if it wouldn't work for you, look into similar breeds. i honestly went down a rabbit hole of dog breeds until i found the perfect one for me.
i would recommend a lab, golden or poodle! just do lots of research on all of them! it always depends on your needs, but those three typically do very well as psychiatric service dogs. good luck! :)
Are there any smaller dogs than the fab 4 here that are hypoallergenic for seizures and diabetes?
no dog is ever truly hypoallergenic, but poodles are close. they come in three different sizes. they don't shed much (sometimes not at all) so sometimes people don't react to them!
@@thepawswithpurpose thank you. Great video!
@@cauliflour5491 schnauzers are very smart, however they are usually not the best choice for service work because of how stubborn they can be and behavior issues that tend to come up, especially for a first time handler! :)
Sadly all the doodles I know 😢 are crazy like crazy crazy and hard to train so hard headed and omg no way to much energy (the best from both worlds) don’t ge time wrong they look cute (many of them) but o don’t think I could deal with that much crazy energy 😢😅 and we have working dogs lol (Husky, Aussie, SPoo (sd), jack Russell’s) but they are more that I could deal every day
Where are you located? Do you take dogs in to train as Service Dogs?
I am looking for a service dog who will help with my anxiety attacks and tic attack. I’m devotion on weather I should get a collie or a golden retriever! What would you recommend?
Debating*
definitely goldens!! collies are typically more nervy and goldens are usually just super solid all around! :) collies can definitely make good service dogs, but it's more risky than sticking to a more reliable breed like goldens, standard poodles, etc.
@@thepawswithpurpose thank you!
Hi thanks for this video. I have been trying really hard to find the right breed of service dog for me but most of them are off breeds. Do you know anything about dobermans, malinois, or beauceron being psychiatric service dogs? They aren't common as service dogs so research has been hard. I kinda picked these breeds to help me feel safer but if you have other recommendations I would appreciate it.
hi! of course! and yes, out of those, dobies would probably be your best choice!!! there are actually quite a few successful doberman service dogs out there. i wouldn't recommend the others for psych work though. :)
Is recommend the Tervuren over the malinois likely will be easier and better for service work and have healthier backs.
German Shepards aren't a great choice for a psychiatric SD.
Me: has a GS as a psychiatric/mobility SD. Lol he is amazing at it too, tho he is still in training
every dog is different! :)

A golden doodle called 911 because a bus driver had a heart attack
I have a standard poodle named Jasmine I want to make her Want to service dog

Are.... Beagles good service dogs...? My mom only wants to let me have a beagle 👁️👁️😭
yes
Sisters are annoying.
Your afraid to go around dogs.
