As a service dog handler I genuinely hate the community sometimes. Some people are SO judgmental, act like they know everything, and like their dogs have never made a mistake. After being bullied off tik tok I made it a pact for me to never judge another service dog handler and it’s genuinely made me a happier person.
People who get protection/guard dogs (as Service Dogs) and then act surprised when their dogs growl or bark like they are bred to do, astound me. I have seen SO much hate in the community lately towards people who have a bad day or a small mistake, no one is perfect and honestly out of all the TH-camrs i follow and watch you are NOT a problematic member of the vlogging community and the Service Dog community and you seem like a chill laid-back person/young adult. Honestly a type of person I would be friends with and would ask to hang out 24/7 (too bad i live in Vegas). Keep up the good work and keep on doing yourself and not focusing on others and their drama.
Agreed. I mean my dog literally went off on some dude while off leash and i had to scold her. I felt mortified cuz i know how the community can be judgemental. Yet she's a small Chihuahua and I've seen more people be terrified of her than say a shepherd or a rottweiler who are common guard dog breeds.
@@JayofallTrades Exactly, and you can't tell them "that was what the breed was meant to do" or they will act like you picked the wrong dog. And Chihuahua's are little dogs with big dog courage (i live with my Sister In Law who has a 18 year old Chihuahua and all that dog does is try and bite ankles lmao)
I have a Rottweiler service dog, and you’d better believe I’ve trained him differently from my Shihtzu. While training is very important, genetics cannot be completely trained away. Show lines vs working lines in sport and working dogs are night and day! You should work with your dogs genetic traits to make a great and natural working dog. I would never want to force my dog to ignore his instincts, it would be a never ending battle. I wanted a dog who was calm and could handle stressful situations with a cool head. When I looked at dogs with my trainer, she immediately dismissed three quarters of them. Good dog owners should always accept and educate the traits of their breed, the whole “it’s the owner not the breed” mindset causes a lot of unnecessary bites. We’ve been attacked twice by these type of owners “he won’t bite” dogs, it was SO dumb. Why do they even bring them in public let alone in stores? Baron just stood there and let them snap, thankfully he had a better attitude than I did. 😂
I went to talk to service dog handlers online to ask questions (I'm considering an SD as treatment for my chronic illness) and I was met with so much negativity I was so confused by what I had "done wrong" by asking for advice on tasks and breeds like the SD community is so toxic
It is, I try to stay away from those groups because they’re just so toxic, however if you need information on service dogs all the service dog laws are on ada.gov, and there’s plenty of service dog handlers who are video influencers just be careful of registries, they are scams, you can also ask me any questions I’ve had a service dog for over two years now
Yeah, I understand how you feel. A lot of the community says opinion and not facts. I’ve been bashed by the community too. All I know is as long as you’re not breaking the law and you are disabled you can get a service dog and you don’t need to go to the doctor for it. It’s a good idea though since they are the experts. I'm thinking about getting a service dog to. There are a lot of things that drive me crazy about this community and one of them is saying that a service dog should be your last option. Or that you need a doctor to see if you are qualified. There is nowhere in the ADA that says that stuff. They shouldn’t be judging. Everybody has their own stories and their own illnesses, but one thing we all have in common is we are all disabled and we love our animals.
I have a Belgian Shepherd and he also grumbles when he's happy and excited! People need to understand that some dogs are super talkative. My boy is on par with Huskies i swear xD
I have a golden retriever and she doesn’t bark much but she moans all the time and people think she’s growling but she’s not, it’s just how she expresses herself
Even if your dog does growl it doesn’t mean that he’s aggressive. It could mean that they’re playing with you. My dog does it all the time when we play with him. It’s their way of communicating.
yes! ive had german shepherds and huskies and both do that 'grumble' thing that to other people they might think its a growl and it kind of sounds like one but i know the difference of my own dog between an actual growl and a grumble. her 'grumbles' are like her talking back lol. if i tell her something she doesnt want to do she will do it but grumble while doing it lol. its actually kind of funny its like when you tell a kid to do their homework before going out with friends and they do it while grumbling under their breath like "screw this ...stupid... rather be with my friends ...mom sucks always makin me do this crap " lol
At least in my opinion, the biggest issue in the SD community is the hate between Handler trained service dogs and Organization trained service dogs. Handler trained SD teams feel like they need to be on the "up and up" because organization service dogs have "official paperwork". Handler trained service dogs feel "illegitimate and fake" because they do not have a organization to back them. And that their dog "isn't perfect". Then on the other hand, you have organization SD teams that feel that handler trained service dogs are cheap knock offs because the "handler is/isn't disabled". And feel targeted because some handler trained service dogs "act out" which makes service dogs look bad. I have a organization trained guide dog and have some friends with owner/handler trained service dogs and I have friends with organization trained service dogs so I have heard both sides.
Isn't it law that registered service dogs don't act out in ways we see fake dogs do? EG, severe barking. peeing indoors? Attacking other service dogs? What is universally accepted?
@@Blackdragon99omfg A real service dog won't bark inside but some of them are trained to do that for specific tasks, like for diabetes or PTSD but it all depends on what they're trying to do. And peeing inside sometimes service dogs have accidents no matter how well they're trained, no dog is perfect and it doesn't take much to scare them even with years of experience and training. And real service dogs no matter how scared should never lash out at other dogs. Most organizations teach their service dogs to run instead of fight.
@@Blackdragon99omfg there is no such thing as a registered service dog in the USA. All the registrations and certifications you see are scams and have no legal backing.

Lexie, would you seriously ever think about doing a Meet & Greet (safely) where you travel to certain places across the country to meet your fans in person? Or do you think that would be too risky due to Covid-19 (even with the regulations in effect)?
Does anyone have any tips to teach a very very stubborn husky to ignore other animals while he’s working because I’m training him to be my service dog and he won’t ignore any dogs while he’s working and yesterday I came back home from my vacation and we had to go to Walmart there was 2 fake service dogs and he wouldn’t ignore them at all
Also for my question I put, I definitely understand the part about the fully trained thing. Dixie is considered fully trained under Ada but my standards are so high. Like her alerts and tasks are slow. She is a very smart dog (German shepherd) but she just isn’t has hyped to do it. She is a very fast learner though :) she learned around in under 2 minutes today. IMO shepherds are the smartest dogs because my dads border collie is just as smart as a rock
@@freddilowe Where did silver German Shepherd’s come from in this comment? I don’t even own a silver German Shepherd I own a black and tan German Shepherds but not a silver educate yourself on the standard
Border collies are a type of shepherd, and have consistently scored higher than any other dog breed on intelligence tests. You may just have 5he anti-unicorn of border collies.
Yas, we need an updated gear video when Lexie is up for it! Can't wait to see all that Lexie has to show us. Baymax is so damn grown up now, and is the same main colors as my brindle SD so it would be good to see what colors look good on his fur and body type.
I have ticks and an on and off tremor plus speech issues when i get stressed, so I get it girl. Trying to fall asleep and then your body is like "WATCH ME WHIP!" or you're laying there and you should be still but your body is just vibrating from you tremors lol shit is annoying as fuuuuck
I love the new intro. I am hoping to get a shepherd this weekend and guess where she's coming from? Tampa. I'm so excited and hoping my dad says yes. She's koda's age and already knows basic commands but I will have to train her for my health needs. Maybe max can show her a few skills. I have been told i shouldn't get another dog and they don't understand why i plan on getting another dog. So some people can be so toxic and i just unfriended those people online. PS Florida tags have certain numbers for each county that will have a specific number on the tag to tell what county they're from instead of it being on the tag itself. 44 is Sumter county
I'm so sorry but your amazing and loved and your so brave and strong you got this gurl don't let ppl bring you down they don't pay your bills so don't pay them no mind
So I have a question, what happened to the husky you surprised your mom with in one of your other videos? And I'm soooo happy you are making more videos you are one of my favorite youtubers!
I’m a Christian, but you do you. I have friends in the Queer community and they’re so sweet. I’m kinda in it but not sure- Probably not but people do you, love yourself. Just don’t murder anyone. 😂 Also, my Aunt’s Great Dane barks at me but he loves me to death 😌💖
not entirely sure the context (/gen /nm) but i just wanted to say that i can assure you that the lgbtq community isnt interested in murdering people more than the next person 😂😭 also dogs don't always bark to be aggressive, they bark to communicate, it matters more about the rest of the dog's body language rather than the barking. i think it's very healthy for dogs to be able to bark, especially if they're the watchdog breeds, i bet he just loves you a lot and gets super excited when you get there :)
@@semiautomatic.companion Yep! I knew that. Our friend group is really fun or confusing because I don’t watch anime due to my Grandparents and they just blabber on about it 😂 Even the little bit of us straights in the group we don’t really care as long as you don’t talk about a certain chocolate or mention certain smiles then we’re good, but if a new person joins that group I’m gonna hate them at first then warm up 😫😂 Yeah, Duke, aka Duke Bear is a big baby that wants all the attention, however he doesn’t like new people. If he warms up with you then you’re good though 😂
My shepherd barks like that and happy grumbles too the second he sees children.. Scares the shit out of them I feel so bad because he just wants to say hi :(
I have been used for money with multiple Service Dog Facilities saying they'd take me pay $$$$ then on the interview despite our Senior Dogs who have been seen by both specialists inorder full evaluation additional by trainer they have ability to do minor tasking for my CPTSD, Anxiety, Asthma Attacks and yet after receiving documentation that they would be fine with a Service Dog in our home. The facilities interogated me and tried to go over what EMS Documentation was given to me and said they are just pets we don't think you could handle the necessary training or might be incapable to train the Service Dog with having to EMS-Tasking dogs already at home. We also have cats and one also is able to do what the dogs can and the training paid off. However its not enough and they tell me get rid of them, rehome them or even worse the comment wait till they pass on and die then contact us again. I was mortified, humiliated and degraded and sickly enough the 3 facilities disreguards the EMS-PTSD Tasking letter and said no pets in home. Apparently a reaccouring theme towards civilians with CPTSD/PTSD but a double standard if your a Veteran or 1st Responder who I have respect for can have pets untrained and unable to task already as pets at home, but not a civilian with same condition like wth?! I have raised part of the cost, however with what was said by the 3 places and and how I was interogated and not treated respectfully during online interviews I am all but ready to give back the money I needed for my Service Dog and give up after these horrible cruel and traumatizing experiences with Service Dog Facilities if the one my specialists recommended say No and use our EMS-CPTSD tasking dogs as an excuse not to go through with it. Its expensive and you get no refunds after spending $$$$$$$ for Applications and the Medical Assessment to be sent in by specialists then their $75+ skype view when you could clearly tell it was about making money with no intention of possible candidacy, they plaid me and its degrading and humiliating how can Service Dog Facilities do such a thing. I'm no longer being optimistic and have had anxiety attacks = nause and vomiting because of these experiences by Service Dog Facilities while waiting to see if the last recommended one will or won't after requiring $275 for paperwork will take me.
Chuckles in I'm in the UK so I'm gonna have an assistance dog so I'm exempt (I don't bully ppl tho unless they're ableist to me, but then that's just returning the energy)
So glad I found your channel. I also have ptsd and I have a husky too. I’m training her myself. It hasn’t been easy but totally worth it. We are working on focus, heel, off and other tasks. She does very well when I am having a ptsd episode. A lot of people fake service dogs and it makes it so hard for us with real service dogs 🐕🦺
Why is this community so toxic? We are all disabled. Just because someone has the same illness it doesn’t mean their service dog is going to be trained the same and just because they got their service dog differently from you it doesn’t mean that they’re fake. People got to stop judging. We need this community to be loving and welcoming to people.
I agree. I thought my best friend was my best friend. I knew him for over 6 years. And I did not realize that he was just using me and taking advantage of my kindness. Like you said, I didn't see that till after the fact.
@@aaronliptak5122 well for Christian standards it's not ok, but I was just making a little joke back since they were kidding. Thats the shame with commenting on vids and texting, you can't hear people's tones so you can never tell how thier phrasing a sentence. Don't worry tho, it was a light hearted tone and a small smile from me! And it's true what I said anyway, even if using the Lord's name in vein is a sin, He still loves everyone equally and I'm not judging her for it bc only God can judge😊 have a nice day!
@@maleficent5381I must say as someone with CPTSD that has been in EMDR, ATRS, cognitive behavioral, and group therapy with a range of people with various degrees of PTSD: Her PTSD seems "highly-selective" on its impacts/triggers etc. Except for it allowing her a SD and to be excuse being rude to people or obnoxious behavior. FYI: PTSD means managing your own triggers, service dog or not. I tend to lean to fight mode instead of flight or freeze, it was my responsibility to work on that type of reaction. And to learn and manage my triggers. It isn't the world's job to manage my mental health issues. Its called accountability.

Hi
7:16 Yes I'm offended, but it's ok, I and Jesus both love you🥰🥰🥰
if it's so ok why did you feel the need to comment
@@aaronliptak5122 well for Christian standards it's not ok, but I was just making a little joke back since they were kidding. Thats the shame with commenting on vids and texting, you can't hear people's tones so you can never tell how thier phrasing a sentence. Don't worry tho, it was a light hearted tone and a small smile from me! And it's true what I said anyway, even if using the Lord's name in vein is a sin, He still loves everyone equally and I'm not judging her for it bc only God can judge😊 have a nice day!
Lexie do you even reply? I sent a heartfelt message I’d love you to see. It’s on your Instagram if you ever get the chance just look for Littlediva19
But your the one making a problem keep bringing your dog everywhere you go why won't you leave him at home.
Because it's a service dog required for a medical or psychiatric disability. The dog is a necessary tool to aid in their handler's life.
@@maleficent5381I must say as someone with CPTSD that has been in EMDR, ATRS, cognitive behavioral, and group therapy with a range of people with various degrees of PTSD:
Her PTSD seems "highly-selective" on its impacts/triggers etc.
Except for it allowing her a SD and to be excuse being rude to people or obnoxious behavior.
FYI: PTSD means managing your own triggers, service dog or not.
I tend to lean to fight mode instead of flight or freeze, it was my responsibility to work on that type of reaction. And to learn and manage my triggers.
It isn't the world's job to manage my mental health issues. Its called accountability.
We have the same birthday mines also the 25th of October !!!!
