Mya has never encountered a situation like this. I think considering the circumstances she did very well. She is still a puppy in training she’s less than a year old. She has at least another year of training to go. With out situations like this happening there’s no way for me to train her how to react until the situation happens. Mya did not lunged at the other dog Mya was actually trying to play she thought the other dog growling was trying to play with her. Again puppy. I was able to get her refocused and I wanted her attention on the treats to keep her attention off of the dog that was the point to help her in the future. Ignore the dog period is what I wanted. Her initial reaction could have been better. But she did settle down and get back under control. I show all of this so you guys can see the struggle of training a Service Animal and how fakes can distract them. She is no where fully trained. But we will keep working through it until she is. Mya, looking back, knowing she’s a pup that’s never experienced this, and thought the dog wanted to play, did okay. Not perfect. But I was able to get her attention back on me and the treats. Which was the point. By doing that, her attention was off the dog, which will teach her to ignore other dogs completely as her training and the years progress. It takes two years to fully train a service animal. And she’s been training for less than a year.
@Tom Johanson actually no. I was walking past them, unaware the dog was there. And the dog reacted. Regardless, they’re the ones breaking the law, using an untrained dog as a “service animal”. The first fine is $500. The second is more. Then the third time you get caught it’s a year in jail.
@@ServiceDogPaws Is the fine structure for misrepresenting a pet as a service animal contained within the ADA (if so - where?) or is it a law for your state?
The little girl was so sweet. I heard her say sorry as they walked away and then she asked for the youtube. So precious. And I love how she was so polite after you told her she couldn't pet her because she was working. I wish more service dog handlers would tell kids that when/if they ask to pet them because a lot of kids and adults as well don't know the rule about not asking to pet.
@@nikonicolasnitolass9762 no, you should never run up to any dog like that. service dog or not. I have autism and if I would have a service dog I would not want people running up to me like that and getting in my space to pet my dog, it would make me anxious and could trigger me.
She was! I think it’s funny how the daughter asked to pet but if her mom has a service dog she should know not to pet it, but she was very polite and much better then other kids
That little girl was smart. She was like “I wanna be better educated for my guardians sake. Seriously. I applaud her for being smarter than most adults.
When people own a poorly behaved dog they just assume that its normal. Ive been asked if my service dog was "trained to sit and everything" like, thats the standard? Seriously?
I don’t get it. Are service dogs not supposed to behave like that, or all dogs? Is it illegal for any dog to bark or growl in public? Sorry I’m lost can someone explain? (maybe I didn’t understand well cuz I’m not from the us and English isn’t my first language, but if anyone could explain it anyways, I’d appreciate it)
@@marinablockedyou the small dog . the Ada law says that behavior like that cannot be present for it to be a service dog . that dog seemed to be dog aggressive so bringing that animal into a place where it could run into legitimate service dogs is a big issue n extremely dangerous n not okay
What’s the point in having laws if corporations aren’t going to allow employees to say anything about a distracting dog? That makes no sense. I guess once they get sued a few times, they might change their tune.
Laws aren't strait forward, and are nuanced when they come in contact with private property and organizations. Like stop signs in a store parking lot. Your not actually legally obligated to stop at them. You can also do the dirty at your house, But not in a public park. Often company policies overrule federal law. Or moreso the law may apply, but the feds simply don't have enforcement rights. So no, the law is anything but "strait forward". And you live in an absolute dreamworld, or atleast an idealized and imaginary USA if you think that's the case.
@@curtisowen3233 , the law is enforceable, the DOJ just has no funding for enforcement, so these assets can continue to jeopardize service dogs and employees can be lazy and do nothing about it.
@@curtisowen3233 Service dogs are there to save someones life. They're trained for that reason. If they get distracted and miss an alert, someone can die. It's a big risk. So if they aren't enforcing it that's bad.
It's important to remember that some folks get dogs from programs that don't do a thorough job of training. That person was probably not maliciously misrepresenting their dog or their disability... they very likely are misinformed and had been taken advantage of previously by both "certification" websites and whoever trained their dog for them (unless it was handler trained... then no excuses for that level of ignorance).
@@coda3223 if you watch her previous video. Her dog isn’t properly licensed and doesn’t have paper work fir her dog. She had to take it down. Don’t believe everything this girl says. She lies a lot
@@lisaneglia480 I'm not sure who you are referring to with the lying accusations... but the only license a dog needs in the US, is the one required by the local municipality to own a pet dog.... there is no such thing as a legitimate license for public access with a service animal. The ADA states very clearly that the requirements for a service animal are: 1. Handler is disabled, 2. Dog performs a task related to the disability, 3. The dog is well-behaved and does not threaten the safety of any people, other animals, or disrupt the business... if these 3 things are all true, then you have a legal service animal. When they are not all true, you do not have a legal service animal. There is no paperwork required (and no states can make laws that require such paperwork). Thus, is it possible for the same animal to be a legal service animal in some circumstances, while not a legal service animal in other circumstances (depending on behavior). In some states there are laws pertaining to a service dog in training... BUT - if the dog is meeting the 3 requirements of the ADA, it can be considered a service animal (even if the handler is still training - because most dog trainers know training is an ongoing and lifelong process) and those specific state laws no longer apply. While I'm not a fan of the hyperbolic (click-bait-y) title usage of this channel, I'm able to recognize that this person has a perspective on their experience that is legitimate, and they are trying to do the right thing by attempting to educate folks about how the ADA pertains to service dogs... which is clearly needed, because a lot of folks are under the impression that there is a license/certification/test that proves legitimacy beyond the 3 requirements outlined above... while there is no such thing in the US, and there never should be (as it places undue burden on the disabled). I don't believe everything I see or hear on the internet, but I do look up legitimate sources of information and the ADA is available to read, as well as plenty of FAQs and similar documents designed to help people understand the rules: www.ada.gov/regs2010/service_animal_qa.html
@@treptowdee what I mean by that I for an example does mya go and attach people and bark around the store, the answer is no so she's trained but still training, that's what I meant
So, many many years ago I worked in a nursing home that allowed us to bring our pets to work. I had an extremely well behaved dog that the residents loved. I paid for very specific behavior evaluation to make sure that wheel chairs, and equipment wouldn’t scare her, strangers trying to pet her wouldn’t trigger her, etc. (this was not required, but I was not taking any chances). She was so good, never went into the dining room or a residents room, was so calm and 100% approved by the facility to be there. They also had a contract with a “therapy” dog to come in occasionally. The first time the therapy dog was there and saw my dog (waiting for me to finish up out side of a residents room, she was just laying quietly by the door) the therapy dog broke free of the handler and attacked my dog. The handler got so mad at me and started screaming at me that his dog was “licensed” and it was my dogs fault and my dog needs to be leashed (my dog was 100% approved to be at work with me, unleashed and I had a full behavior evaluation done). Luckily I had several nurses who had witnessed it and it was decided that any therapy dog that could attack without warning could not be trusted. (Part of the pets aloud policy was so family members could bring in well behaved pets that the residents had to “give up” when they moved in to the facility). I can’t even imagine if that therapy dog had attacked a resident. It has always made me wonder if that dog wasn’t a true therapy dog.
At my great grandpa's nursing home they have a room full of well taken care of kittens for the people there to bond with or to just help them relax. I remember before the outbreak of the virus we went here to visit my great grandpa and there were a bunch of the elders with cats in there laps. It was so cute to witness. (just a little sidenote if the kittens were to hurt the people there they would be removed by the workers and would be trained not to hurt people and if they stil did after that the cat would be removed)
A friend of mine and I used to conduct Bible studies at some of the local nursing homes. At one there was this very well behaved dog that just wondered around the home, getting pets from the residents. A very calm dog. I assume it was similar situation as yours nd they belonged to an employee.
Mya did great but why the hell would someone do that I’m happy the little girl was nice but fr like wtf is wrong with ppl they need to be trained ! That’s not ok! Hope u have a good day Dominique 🖤
I am pretty sure she said she as a seizure disorder which I am not doubting. I want to clarify, that even if you are truly disabled that still dose not give someone (or you) the right to bring your untrained doggo into public. It as to be task trained to manage your disability like to pull a wheelchair, alert to your seizure etc. I have met many people like this lady (In the video) that think just because they are disabled means they can bring there dog every we’re.
Totally! They don't have to just be task-trained either. They cannot cause a disruption to the business or present any danger. Even if a SD performs magnificently 98% of the time in public, the 2% of the time when they don't, they can be asked to leave and are no longer legally protected from expulsion by the ADA.
@@AndersenE27 "just task trained" ... As in: task-trained is not the only requirement to qualify as a service dog granted public access. Appropriate behavior (as described above) is an important requirement, too.
@Tom Johanson To clarify: I was speaking about when a dog is protected under the ADA. Whether or not a pet is allowed in a public situation is a patchwork of municipality and state regulations, and up to each individual business to exclude disruptive pets, to require handlers pick up their pet's poop, pet not on a leash, etc. If they so choose. Businesses can exclude you for anything they want (no shirt, no shoes, no mask, not wearing the right kind of jacket, etc.), as long as it is not for being a protected class (such as having a disability and having a service animal). There are many, many laws that detail when pets can be excluded for different situations (not on a leash, if you don't pick up their feces, digging, etc.). In my state, there is a state law that says pets aren't allowed on state beaches, natural area preserves, on ski trails during skiing season, and in other specific scenarios (WAC 352-32-060). Pretty much every public area held by my municipality or state require that dogs are leashed and that they don't bite or molest others at the bare minimum. You're right that there aren't specific blanket laws that exclude all pets from all public areas, that's because that's not how the US legal system is organized. There are a variety of specific laws that exclude pets from specific areas. Pets don't have the legal right to access these public areas, whereas disabled handlers with a service animal do. I'm guessing that you are trying to point out here is that Dominique (the gal in the video) is incorrect in asserting that the Dollar Tree business is required to exclude pets, because unless there is a specific state or municipality law pertaining to that specific store that overrides that business's rights to include or exclude who they want (provided they are not excluding on the basis of a protected class), then that woman is allowed to have her pet in the store (as long as the store says it's okay). The pet could even be defecating everywhere, if the business wanted to allow it.
(I’m an SD trainer) I tried to educate an older lady the other day in Walmart as she walked in carrying her “Service“ Chihuahua into the store under her arm that only SDs were allowed. She said oh she’s a service dog. I explained that SDs are to be on the dolor not carried or in a cart. She told me she has service ID for her and has had it a long time. And proceeded to show me. To which I, smiling, told her she was defrauded, as well as was committing fraud for all the reasons everyone here knows. She politely argued with me asking how I knew what I was talking about.... well the hat and jacket I was wearing had SERVICE DOG TRAINER plastered all over them. Walmart employee who witnessed me announcing that the door says SDs only just withered away into the carts she was cleaning. Im almost 54 and believe will be needing to go on blood pressure meds soon because of the blatant purposeful fraud I keep seeing. I refuse to call it ignorance. They know they are wrong.
@@SolarEclipse-po7iu they can lick your cheek or throat. When I’m having a panic attack and sitting on the floor, my assistance dog will stand over my lap and lick my throat.
Hi, I enjoy watching your videos because they educate me on my rights as a new service dog handler and give me tips for further training. My dog finished her training back in November and she’s still quite new to public access but is continuing to do better and better with her manners. She’s an expert at helping me with my disability. She fights every battle with me. Fake service dogs scare me and the only thing I know to do is walk away quickly for safety. I’m learning so much with your videos and they help me to feel part of a community of other handlers. Thank you for sharing.💜🐾
Ugh, why are fakes such a huge problem? 😩 My local grocery store got so bad (at least 1 out of control dog almost every time, & peoples’ fakes even got into actual full blown fights in the store) that I ended up actually making little pamphlets that I keep in my SD’s vest just in case I ever need them that talk about almost everything, like when you can legally refuse a dog and how to tell a real service dog from a fake, & why fakes are dangerous. Luckily haven’t had to use them yet, because the manager is really nice and actually knows the laws & even kicked out an aggressive “ESA” that he saw go after us, but I think they could be really helpful if the dog problem gets too bad again. We’ve seen 2 other service dogs since then that I’ll give the benefit of the doubt, because they were fairly well behaved & not aggressive even though one was very distracted by my dog. The pamphlets fit lots more info than what fits on ADA cards, and it makes me feel better to have them on hand in case we run into something like this. I could post the file link if anyone might find it helpful :) Sorry you had to deal with that, people not following the laws properly are always so frustrating :(
I love your channel I have a GSD as a service dog I think what your doing is wonderful you've inspired me to do the same thing to educate people its not easy bless you for what your doing
I hate and love seeing stuff like this. It sucks it happens, but I am happy you can advocate & educate others, because not everyone can. I was at Walmart Friday night and someone with a giant service dog was having seizures in the shampoo aisle, some kids walked up and started petting the dog while doing dpt, I intervened and got the kids off so the dog could focus. Why can’t parents pay attention to their kids 😡 I stayed with them until they came out of it and offered help, they just needed a few mins to recover and thanked me for the help.
It's sad, because this is the truth of it. 99.9% of the employees at any given store aren't allowed to say jack shit, even if it is within the law to ask unruly, aggressive dogs to leave. We can get in big trouble for saying anything. Trust me, we'd like to but we need our jobs.
I used to work at Walmart (left for my own mental health) I was the only one that would say anything to people that would put their dogs in carts and/or didn't behave properly ex. Barking, growling, lunging. I made a few customers mad and my boss didn't like it, but I told my boss I could just report them to the health department and Walmart corporation. They didn't talk to me about it again and just let me confront people that did that crap.
Don’t hate me but I don’t see that Mya behaved well. She only seems to be interested in treats, jumps, looks distracted, and itches her face. What kind of tasks is she doing/working on? Of course that other dog should not be growing.
Mya is still a puppy going through the motions. She’s already learned task for my anxiety/PTSD. She’s spending the next year finishing training and learning medical alerts, then mobility once old enough. She did do well considering the situation. Some Dogs get traumatized from encounters like that. Was she perfect? Absolutely not. But for her first encounter with something like this, she did good. She does not usually jump. The halter rubbing isn’t a big deal. And I wanted her focus on the treats and me, and not the dog.
I believe it is because she used to not do that until I started working on the ptsd response an encouraging nose nudges, licking, pawing, as responses to distract me. She does it at home without it on. Of course it’s a chance it got itchy. With more training, it gets easier to tell things apart. I was having anxiety during all of this. So it could have been. She was pretty persistent
@@treptowdee Ummm...yes you do...most situations are specific and need tailored. I've known many people with service dogs and every single one trains them themselves.
Honestly as annoying as it is I’m glad there is no registration because it allows us handlers to make a fool of someone who claims they have a service dog. It also gives a clear definition of who is a true educated handler vs who is a fake with their “registration”
Agreed! Added burdens on folks with disabilities is definitely not the way to deal with dogs who shouldn't be used for public access being presented as service animals. Education, education, education seems like a much better option.
I agree with this mindset -- the laws are actually not exactly what you'd expect, which immediately makes it obvious who knows what they're talking about and who is just saying what they ASSUME is the correct answer.
As a trainer I COMPLETELY understand how dangerous any distractions especially form other dogs can be! HOWEVER I've seen a few videos now and you often put yourself and dog into dangerous situations just to make a point or have footage ?! should the untrained dog be removed ..yes ! HOWEVER you standing near the aggressive dog..getting stressed either owner loudly arguing back and forth is not going to help with the dogs aggression who's only going to get worse trying to "protect" the owner and also with your pots it could trigger high HR..passing out ect! Then you would have a situation were you a pregnant lady falls and is unable to protect yourself or dog from the aggressive most of these irresponsible people know they are in the wrong but just don't care so involving yourself puts yall and risk and isn't going to change the bad behaviour in the slightest! Like you say it's your dogs first time experiencing this so who knows what she's do if that dog was to bite your throat?! The aggressive dog is already stressed ..then the public exchange changes the atmosphere of the store ..EVERYONE is zoned in on the situation ..that aggressive dog can pick up on that ..it could be the thing to ramp it up to a whole new dangerous...physical level of stress! I promise I'm not trying to "hate" on you I'm just concerned for you and the baby I understand you have experience but your dogs not fully trained yet and there is ALWAYS room to learn and improve! It's best to remove yourself entirely at go back once the aggressive dogs left to discuss your issue OR in bigger stores ignore the issue ..get a safer distance away and approach a staff member/manager about the issue ! If like here they are uneducated contact the head office or corporate. Looking through your videos it's scary to see how many ER trips are due to the stressful public conflicts or even scarier physical altercations !!! I LOVE that you are an advocate but you have so much footage of similar confrontations every time fitting you and your dog in unneeded danger especially since your dog is not fully trained yet..it's just not worth the risk to prove your point unfortunately 😡 It's not even the already stressed aggressive dog you need to be wary of the owner are often also mentally unstable and will lash out physically when called out in public! Love the education and advocacy but please stay safe! Especially with a large following wouldn't want any viewers to get hurt approaching these irresponsible owners Xx
I agree. If you want to advocate that’s great but don’t go up to strangers you don’t know in public and start giving unsolicited advice. I am not the type of person to have a complete stranger come up to me and start telling me what I should and shouldn’t do, so I understand these peoples annoyance.
@@jill098 So you're saying you won't listen to a police officer because they're a stranger telling you what to do for the benefit of other peoples' safety? You realise that Dom has been in the hospital with a concussion for multiple days because of someone's pet distracting her service animal right? Nobody cares if it's a little bit of an annoyance or inconvenience to you to be told off for breaking the law. You could literally kill someone doing that but think your hurt little feelings are more important? Please have some human decency
Thank you for being so nice about it. And for handling out the cards as well. I'm sorry you had to go through that.. You are the nices ones I have seen on TH-cam. God bless you & your family 🙏🏼
So sorry that service dogs and people that own them go through this problem. I agree with you 100%. This should be unacceptable. I'm happy you record what you go through with very inconsiderate people. And you are correct that can definitely distract your service dog from you , especially when you need their complete attention.
Early last year i was in a Target doing some shopping. I saw a service dog bark and lunge at another service dog. It was soooooo scary. I know the lunging dog was not a real service dog. I don't know why people bring their dogs in stores that are not service dogs.
Yea it’s utterly terrifying when you life like who it’s trained to save your life is being lunged at and trying to be attacked, sadly so many people do it and stores are so bad at letting it slide even after something happened! So many people in the service dog community have had there dogs attacked, we run into so many fakes and it’s ridiculous that us disabled handlers have to be on alert and scared to go onto stores and have to worry for the safety of our selves and our dogs.
Love your channel. I've been showing my girls a bunch of your videos to educate them even more on service animals and why it's so important not to acknowledge the animals. I should add. Since day one with them I've always taught them this but I find these kinds of videos are perfect as they can ask questions and watch the dog work but it clearly doesn't distract the dog!
Just watched this again because I didn't quite hear everything the manage said...and don't-cha know that darn dog made my heart jump again! But, what I also wanted to say is, I think you handled that very well and Mya did a great job as well. I'm so proud of the both of you!🥰🥰👏🙌 I should get myself some of those cards but I don't get out much since the pandemic began. But...I'll continue reporting the scam sites to the BBB & FTC though...at least I can do that. I think if we can get those illegal businesses shut down, it'll be a lot harder for people to obtain so called, "certifications & registrations", and all the other fake service/ESA dog paraphernalia. It may not be an easy task but it's better than sitting around and doing nothing about it.
Service Dog Paws, I like how you calmly handled that interaction with the Woman with the barking & growling small Dog. & I love how the child said sorry & then asked the name of your TH-cam channel. Please don't take this the wrong way, but because you stayed calm, & spoke to her without raising your voice, she didn't get all mad & start yelling at you, but she actually looked like she listened to you. Even when the woman said she had a registration paperwork from the ADA. Plus you were also working with Mya who you said in another comment, it was her first time seeing a dealing with obvious fake SD. You did a great job with Mya, & Mya also did a good job for seeing a barking, growling litte Dog for the first time. You did a great job handling the entire situation, especially after while talking to the employee & explaining what they are allowed to ask, & about dealing with fake SD's. Great Video, & Great Job too! 😀👍
Its outrageous the amount of people y'all encounter with fake service animals, but you're so patient and graceful in the way you handle them like props to you you shouldn't have to put up with that
I like how near the end Dominic was like I walk in without my mask. I going grab jeans I think but sounded like juice and leave. I didn't know the dollar stores had jeans. Lol. Only 2021 do you have to think about having a face mask in a store.
I’m glad I found your channel because me and my mom were going to bring my dog into bass pro shops to get her used to people and other dogs and just different things in general since you can bring dogs in. Now we probably won’t do it anymore because now I realized he dangers of a service dog losing focus and what can happen. Also a couple months ago you said my name on life and I freaked out. Thank you lol💕💕
She did so well! Ugh I HATE dollar tree! We where almost attacked around 2 times in the one near our house, one was caught on camera thankfully, they did NOTHING when the dog was barking and lunging at my dog (got the cops involved they did nothing saying they could only take action if my dog was physically hurt 😑) and I asked for them to kick her out, I have seen so many pets in the one near me we always go, my dollar tree is now a little better because I had to threaten to sue them due to them putting my life and my service dogs life in danger more then 20 times (within 2 1/2 months) with aggressive pets and fakes, even an off leash “service dog” who charged us and I had to protect my dog and get bit myself, I hate that we have to worry about fakes we have enough issues as it is...she did so well good job y’all!
@Luis Chavez no we have not gotten attacked, we have had close calls, we have had dogs lunge, bark, growl, snarl, and charge at us, my dog dog thankfully has not been physically attacked yet. I also just read over it and I meant to type 2 my bad I clicked the 0 as well, twice we have almost been attack at a dollar tree, other stores have fakes as well but I meant 2 my bad idk how I didn’t notice that. The state and city I’m in has a massive issue with fakes and aggressive pets, the stores I go to are about an hour away if I need to go to that store and don’t want to go to that specific store, it’s an hour drive to get to another one, it’s rarely the same dogs, sadly so many pets and fakes are brought in, my state has a massive issue and has a high rate for fakes and pets being brought into stores. Most of the time I only see the dog when it’s barking and doing everything it can to get to us, when your a service dog handler you run into way more pets then normal people do, some days there are non in a store other days there are 5, depends when the fakes come in.
I cannot tell you how many times I've gotten halfway to the store entrance only to have to turn around to get my mask from the car. You'd think it would be easy not to forget it at this point, lol. She did so good! It is so annoying that the woman kept trying to tell you the dog was certified even after you told her there is no such thing. She had probably been scammed and really believed it. Or wanted any excuse just to be able to have her dog with her.
Wow 😳, That was almost REALLY bad but SOO proud of Mya and glad u were able to get her focused back on you, She TOTALLY deserves LOTS of cuddles and love for that one 😍😍😍, AWESOME JOB Mya 🥰🥰🥰
I plan to get a SD soon, if my doctors agree it would be a good route. Some people I tell I watch these videos say I just watch it for the drama. But the fact is I have emotional dysregulation, and watching these videos has helped so much in preparing me to handle these situations when they arise for me. Training myself what to say and how to react is the best prep for holding my ground when I get put into these situations. Thank you so much!
Thats why I don't take my dog to Walmart, so many pet dogs lunging at my SD. I think it would be reasonable for Sd's to have to pass the good citizen test. It was helpful to see how you handled your dog during the situation.
The ADA is very clear: if your dog behaves inappropriately, they can ask you to leave. It does not matter if it's a SD or if you have a disability that the SD mitigates. If the behavior is inappropriate, you lose public access for that visit. This is the only enforcement that is necessary, the problem is that businesses are choosing not to exercise their rights because the people the no-intervention-policy tends to hurt most are folks with disabilities who have SDs, and their rights, access, and business is devalued due to marginalized social status. Every handler should know they can get kicked out of any public place if their dog behaves inappropriately. Every being has a breaking point whether it's facing mistreatment, threats, or an illness. That's part of your job as handler... to notice when your dog is too stressed to perform their job, and then remove them from the situation. You can also find yourself facing a lawsuit about your SD that may or may not be founded. Most handlers who are educated and take the responsibility seriously understand and accept these possibilities. That's why it's recommended that owner-trained SDs have extensive training logs and videos to demonstrate how well-behaved their SD is in a wide variety of scenarios.
Not sure if this is an off day or not but your pup is behaving pretty poorly as well for a working dog. I dont think shes ready for training in public outings yet...
If you watch the whole video, I explain she’s never been in a situation like this. And is still a puppy in Training. She was caught off guard. But I was able to settle her back down.
For one look up CDC guidelines: There are people with chronic illness wearing a mask is dangerous for them. She can not wear a mask due to this reason. Her service dog os medical alert. The other dog is a fake service dog. It's illegal for it to be there and it can attack a real service dog or distract her medical alert servoce dog and her dog can miss an alert abs she could die. The other woman's dog was bsrking and growling. Service sogs don't do that. Outside of trained and necessary task work, there should be NO other vocalization, including, but not limited to, whining, grumbling, wooing, barking, growling, whimpering or other noise. Unless working, Service Dogs should be seen by the public and not heard. A service dog does not pull but is in a perfect heel. Focus only on its owner. Business owners and staff have the right to remove a service dog that is aggressive, growling, snarling, and of course, biting. Business owners also have the right to remove a service dog if it is disruptive by barking repeatedly, wandering around and/or bothering other customers. Or pulling showing full signs of not being a service dogs Under the Americans with Disabilities Act, it's a federal crime to use a fake dog. It's a felony punishable by fine and jail time. Every time someone fakes a service dog, it puts the work of real service dogs in jeopardy. Trained service dogs provide assistance in everyday life to those who need it. The consequences are not just limited to a hostess asking your bouncy dog to stop putting his paws on someone else’s table. You and your dog’s actions, no matter how benign, will have impact on the people around you, and one misstep can cause people to believe that all service dogs are just over-glorified pets. Also a fake service dog can distract a real service dog and cause them to miss a medical alert that could injure or kill the owner. Which would cause the fake owner to be arressted for attempted manslaughter. ."
I honestly believe that is more shops stores restaurants would start enforcing it and like if a dog is growling and pub in the in the store that they do have the right to ask for the removal. Dog anstores need to start doing it
@@nadia_1237 the scam sites like to weave the law into it to make people think dropping 100 bucks on a piece of paper gives them full PA no matter what. when i first started SD research i went STRAIGHT to the .gov and got it from the source. why everyone doesn't is baffling.
These sites make people feel like they have to flash a card to get permission to enter. These sites don't require you to prove that your dog is trained and that it is a real service dog. I could register my wheelchair on one of those sites and flash that as I enter a store. After a while, that would start getting in people's heads that they need to only allow people who flash that card to allow wheelchairs into stores, etc. That is what these sites are doing and that is despicable and wrong.
The little girl was so sweet. Plus how does the person think a dog can alert them for seizures when they're focused on other service dogs and growling at them?
Just today a dog in an emotional support vest came into the building I was in. He was pulling, sniffing the floor, spinning in circles, and pulling toward my service dog. My girl did great though and we got out of there before anything happened. People are so entitled thinking they can bring dogs like that into stores 🙄
she is so right. the law is the law. I have a service dog and I hate seeing people call a dog, a service dog like that. my service dog is also still training. I'm glad to see someone stand up.
I hate fakes 😣 even though I haven’t brought my SDIT in PA yet. Thankfully where I live service dogs aren’t that “popular” and I’ve only seen like 4 in my life. Only One possibly fake, it had good behavior so I can’t say it was. The only problem was the handler carried it one time, had it in a bag poking its head out the other time. There were people petting it all over the place. Not saying it was fake I just think the handler should be more educated on how you handle SDs
oh man, i am a vet tech, and chihuahuas are by far one of the scariest breeds to work with. it's a good thing they're small and can be handled fairly easily. if they were big i couldn't even imagine. 😅
Man I’m glad I got a good one then, she’s so sweet and loves everyone. Her only vice is she sees big dogs and has to bark and act tough, but she’s not. I remove her from the situation and never let her run up to those or any other dogs. Little dogs she doesn’t care, she’s like “ oh you’re my size... cool” lol so she’s not perfect but my moms dog, you have to watch him. He only likes certain people, not child safe and I’m the only person that can trim his nails and not be bit. But as withy my dog we keep him from those situations where he could be a problem. Knowing your dog is very important especially if you’re going to have them in public like that.
I apparently had THE exception to the whole breed lol.... my chi was a freaking angel. She was so sweet and quiet and calm. Excitement for her meant rapid tail wagging and a little dance sometimes, but that was it. She had a sweet little girly bark that only she could do lol, and she only used it when a stranger was approaching my door. As soon as she realized I knew the person she'd stop and resume tail wags. She just wanted to be held and cuddled. She never bit a soul (so when Petco groomers accused her of biting them, I literally laughed in their face because it wasn't possible.... they had clipped her nails too short and she bled, and they needed to blame her somehow, so they said she bit them really hard and left a mark.... at this point she only had TWO molars left in her entire mouth!!!!! It was IMPOSSIBLE for her to bite!! 🤦🏻♀️) and she loved her "big" sister (my husky mix, who is the younger but obviously larger) and would play wrestle with her, and pretend to bite her with her gentle little mouth lol.... my husky would roll onto her back and let my chi win the wrestling match by climbing onto her! 🤭 my poor sweet baby died far too soon and I still miss her everyday. 😭 it breaks my heart feeling like I'll never again be able to find a tiny thing like her that also has her perfect personality. 🥺 because I worked at a vet too and can confirm that they're very often the violent ones, I think maybe not only because they're compensating for their lack of size, but perhaps because they're not usually trained to be good because people think little dogs are too small to hurt anyone or even to run away fast enough to escape lol, you can just reach down and grab them before they've gotten very far.... people just don't bother teaching them?! 🤷🏻♀️ I was only bitten badly once in my few years at the clinic, and guess which breed?! And that little thing had jaws of steel dude, I was wearing JEANS, and I was just WALKING BY in the lobby and it came dashing up to me, jumped up as high as it could, and CHOMPED. It BROKE MY SKIN all the way through my friggin jeans!! 😱 it left a hefty ugly bruise the size of the palm of my hand too. I was notably never EVER bitten by a single one of the "bully" breeds. 🤔
I don’t have a service dog, but it hurts me to see this happen to other service dogs. I have really bad anxiety but my mom says I wouldn’t qualify for a service dog. Anyway it just hurts to see other people not respecting service dogs
Once fully trained, yes. She’s still in training. Which is why I used the opportunity to take her focus to the treats. She’s a puppy still. We’ve worked with other teams. And she was able to ignore them and work alongside them. This is why fake are so bad. The cause issues with service animals in Training. But how do you train a dog not to React to a situation like this, without it happening?? She has at least another year of training to go. Considering all of that, she did okay. Not perfect, but she did settle down and I did get her focus back on me and kept the treats coming to keep her attention off the dog. Training.
If that was a real service Dog her daughter would know not to ask to pet a service dog... Nothing against the kid she was sweet but it was obvious the dog wasn't trained and the daughter has no idea how to act around a service dog.
Despite how that person and dog acted, Mya did amazing! She clearly was interested but listened and focused on her easily. I've been watching since you first got her and she clearly is progressing amazingly
The way the lady looked nervous and was quiet speaking was also a dead give away AS IF THE BARKING DIDNT.. like if you know your in the right you wouldn’t be quiet and looking like a deer in headlights... I don’t have a service animal but you better believe if I saw that behavior I’d call them out AND I’m loud. As soon as someone says it’s a service animal they get a free pass and that’s BS.. like prove it? She said medical LIKE NO DA LADY... people employees any staff or otherwise shouldn’t just be like okay I trust ya because unfortunately in today’s society YOU ARENT ABLE TO.. there good people and then there’s the rest unfortunately the trustworthy and the caring are bumbarded by the others.. it’s like the whole pitbull thing when an animal is abused or there’s a stereotype that’s what people immediately see the bad. It doesn’t seem like much but there are good people small as it may be.. Sorry I ranted to whoever reads this! love this channel 🥰😅
People like that drive me insane!!! Would I love to bring my pup with me everywhere I went? Absolutely! Do I need to/is she a service dog? Absolutely not. People like this are incredibly selfish!!!! They put people at huge risks doing this crap. My bloods boiling for you. I'm so sorry.
Dollar Tree Dog Policy copy and pasted from Google/Website: "Are dogs allowed in Dollar Tree stores? No, dogs aren't allowed in Dollar Tree stores unless it's a service dog. There's a very high chance that you won't be allowed into the store with your dog, unless he is a service dog. Of course, some locations are more lenient than others" The dog should've been kicked out... She doesn't even know her own companies policy... "Yep it is trained that's how they're supposed to be!" THE SHADE 🤣
Funny seeing how her dog is mostly just sitting there quiet while the other dog which is a fake is growling . Her dog is still in training. The treat a is called apart of training. It's used for positive reinforcement many trainers not just for sevice dogs but police dogs are trained this way. The other dog had no contr it was growling which sevice dogs do not do. It was a fake illegal for it to be there. Outside of trained and necessary task work, there should be NO other vocalization, including, but not limited to, whining, grumbling, wooing, barking, growling, whimpering or other noise. Unless working, Service Dogs should be seen by the public and not heard. A service dog does not pull but is in a perfect heel. Focus only on its owner. Business owners and staff have the right to remove a service dog that is aggressive, growling, snarling, and of course, biting. Business owners also have the right to remove a service dog if it is disruptive by barking repeatedly, wandering around and/or bothering other customers. Or pulling showing full signs of not being a service dogs Under the Americans with Disabilities Act, it's a federal crime to use a fake dog. It's a felony punishable by fine and jail time. Every time someone fakes a service dog, it puts the work of real service dogs in jeopardy. Trained service dogs provide assistance in everyday life to those who need it. The consequences are not just limited to a hostess asking your bouncy dog to stop putting his paws on someone else’s table. You and your dog’s actions, no matter how benign, will have impact on the people around you, and one misstep can cause people to believe that all service dogs are just over-glorified pets. Also a fake service dog can distract a real service dog and cause them to miss a medical alert that could injure or kill the owner. Which would cause the fake owner to be arressted for attempted manslaughter. Please educate yourself.
Our Walmart does this all the time. They say that there is nothing that they can do about it, and they don't ask questions. The last time it was a growling terrier in a shopping cart while I was at the pharmacy with my service dog. I told the lady that she needed to correct her service dog and that it should have 4 on the floor or carried in the store. She informed me that it was emotional support (at least she was honest), and to mind my own business. I told her that it was my business because her dog was distracting and acting aggressively towards my dog and that she was risking the health of others by having her dog in the cart. I was then ignored and the lady walked off giving me the bird. Ugggh I don't have the energy to deal with it, sometimes it is all I can do to get to the store. Thank you for your posts.

Hi I love ur vids and my mom taught me to NEVER EVER look or make eye contact with a service dog and I always think in my head how cute they are but I cant look or talk to it so yea I also love u stay safe bye 💓
I'm 9 and I know that's not normal dog behavior, Ps. The little girl was so cute! I think 1 time I accidentally said something to a service dog, And my parent's luckily warned me not to do that. I'm glad I have parents who aren't stuck-up people.
I am able to get a service dog, but at the moment I choose not to because I’m still in a position to manage without somewhat, and considering how much money is put into training these wonderful animals, I don’t want to drain the already low money for UK service animals. It was only about a year ago I was chatting to a friend from the USA, and she told me she was going to get her dog certified as an emotional support dog (that dog has since past may he rest in peace). I asked why. Despite her having a form of disability and some mental health issues, her answer was “so that I get to take him everywhere with me with no questions asked”. I was quite taken aback. It’s that attitude that gives genuine users of genuine service dogs so much hassle. I understand that emotional support and service dogs are different in the USA (I’m from the UK), but still, surely a need other than “I just wanna take him everywhere with me it would be so cool” is not a good answer. I’ve never owned a dog and I don’t know much about them, but her dogs are not trained at all, aside from pooping outside, they often pee inside, there is no structure to the day, barking and growling and jumping and sometimes biting. Not the dogs faults, but she had opportunity to start with them from young puppies.
If I was the person, nothing would happen since I don't take my dog with me to groceries and stuff. Well actually my step dad is the one who gets the groceries- and my dog is VERY hyper and playful. Like- I can only train him to sit and lay down so far and I've had him since I was 6 or 7 :' ) but anyways, I like how the girl was polite :D
Actually wrong. Mus is trained to help her owner ans by law is allowed to be there. The other dog is not trained and is not allowed to be there. Do you know anything about service dogs.

Mya has never encountered a situation like this. I think considering the circumstances she did very well. She is still a puppy in training she’s less than a year old. She has at least another year of training to go. With out situations like this happening there’s no way for me to train her how to react until the situation happens. Mya did not lunged at the other dog Mya was actually trying to play she thought the other dog growling was trying to play with her. Again puppy. I was able to get her refocused and I wanted her attention on the treats to keep her attention off of the dog that was the point to help her in the future. Ignore the dog period is what I wanted. Her initial reaction could have been better. But she did settle down and get back under control. I show all of this so you guys can see the struggle of training a Service Animal and how fakes can distract them. She is no where fully trained. But we will keep working through it until she is. Mya, looking back, knowing she’s a pup that’s never experienced this, and thought the dog wanted to play, did okay. Not perfect. But I was able to get her attention back on me and the treats. Which was the point. By doing that, her attention was off the dog, which will teach her to ignore other dogs completely as her training and the years progress. It takes two years to fully train a service animal. And she’s been training for less than a year.
Pls pin this so others can see
@Tom Johanson actually no. I was walking past them, unaware the dog was there. And the dog reacted. Regardless, they’re the ones breaking the law, using an untrained dog as a “service animal”. The first fine is $500. The second is more. Then the third time you get caught it’s a year in jail.
@@ServiceDogPaws Is the fine structure for misrepresenting a pet as a service animal contained within the ADA (if so - where?) or is it a law for your state?
Like your dog jumping repeatedly isn't proper either homie
@@nickbergeaux4719 Ever heard of an alert.
That's part of training. She was slightly tachdcardic in the video.
The little girl was so sweet. I heard her say sorry as they walked away and then she asked for the youtube. So precious. And I love how she was so polite after you told her she couldn't pet her because she was working. I wish more service dog handlers would tell kids that when/if they ask to pet them because a lot of kids and adults as well don't know the rule about not asking to pet.
Some service dogs you can pet like some for aurtism sorry for my spelling and non medical alert dogs it’s really depends why the handler needs the dog
@@nikonicolasnitolass9762 no, you should never run up to any dog like that. service dog or not. I have autism and if I would have a service dog I would not want people running up to me like that and getting in my space to pet my dog, it would make me anxious and could trigger me.
She was! I think it’s funny how the daughter asked to pet but if her mom has a service dog she should know not to pet it, but she was very polite and much better then other kids
@@kaleefisher2928 I agree that if that was a real service dog she would know not to pet but she was so respectful about it.
@@Valetobtain6558 yea she really was I wish everyone was like that

That little girl was smart. She was like “I wanna be better educated for my guardians sake. Seriously. I applaud her for being smarter than most adults.
that growl was scary . who in their right mind would take a dog like that into public n think that's okay ??

@@Inciliusnebulifer wow , sheesh
I don’t get it. Are service dogs not supposed to behave like that, or all dogs? Is it illegal for any dog to bark or growl in public? Sorry I’m lost can someone explain?

Aww that little girl was like “I’m gonna hit that subscribe button”
What’s the point in having laws if corporations aren’t going to allow employees to say anything about a distracting dog? That makes no sense. I guess once they get sued a few times, they might change their tune.
Laws aren't strait forward, and are nuanced when they come in contact with private property and organizations. Like stop signs in a store parking lot. Your not actually legally obligated to stop at them. You can also do the dirty at your house, But not in a public park. Often company policies overrule federal law. Or moreso the law may apply, but the feds simply don't have enforcement rights. So no, the law is anything but "strait forward". And you live in an absolute dreamworld, or atleast an idealized and imaginary USA if you think that's the case.
@@curtisowen3233 , the law is enforceable, the DOJ just has no funding for enforcement, so these assets can continue to jeopardize service dogs and employees can be lazy and do nothing about it.
@@vincearmstrong5654 that too. Damn strait! the DOJ has astronomically larger fish to fry than dogs getting a friendly scratch behind the ears.
@@curtisowen3233 Service dogs are there to save someones life. They're trained for that reason. If they get distracted and miss an alert, someone can die. It's a big risk. So if they aren't enforcing it that's bad.

@@candyjoker5039 wow-
Omg why do people pretend their dogs are service dogs and mya is trained, u can tell what's fake and not lol
It's important to remember that some folks get dogs from programs that don't do a thorough job of training. That person was probably not maliciously misrepresenting their dog or their disability... they very likely are misinformed and had been taken advantage of previously by both "certification" websites and whoever trained their dog for them (unless it was handler trained... then no excuses for that level of ignorance).
@@coda3223 if you watch her previous video. Her dog isn’t properly licensed and doesn’t have paper work fir her dog. She had to take it down. Don’t believe everything this girl says. She lies a lot
@@lisaneglia480 I'm not sure who you are referring to with the lying accusations... but the only license a dog needs in the US, is the one required by the local municipality to own a pet dog.... there is no such thing as a legitimate license for public access with a service animal. The ADA states very clearly that the requirements for a service animal are: 1. Handler is disabled, 2. Dog performs a task related to the disability, 3. The dog is well-behaved and does not threaten the safety of any people, other animals, or disrupt the business... if these 3 things are all true, then you have a legal service animal. When they are not all true, you do not have a legal service animal. There is no paperwork required (and no states can make laws that require such paperwork). Thus, is it possible for the same animal to be a legal service animal in some circumstances, while not a legal service animal in other circumstances (depending on behavior). In some states there are laws pertaining to a service dog in training... BUT - if the dog is meeting the 3 requirements of the ADA, it can be considered a service animal (even if the handler is still training - because most dog trainers know training is an ongoing and lifelong process) and those specific state laws no longer apply.
While I'm not a fan of the hyperbolic (click-bait-y) title usage of this channel, I'm able to recognize that this person has a perspective on their experience that is legitimate, and they are trying to do the right thing by attempting to educate folks about how the ADA pertains to service dogs... which is clearly needed, because a lot of folks are under the impression that there is a license/certification/test that proves legitimacy beyond the 3 requirements outlined above... while there is no such thing in the US, and there never should be (as it places undue burden on the disabled).
I don't believe everything I see or hear on the internet, but I do look up legitimate sources of information and the ADA is available to read, as well as plenty of FAQs and similar documents designed to help people understand the rules: www.ada.gov/regs2010/service_animal_qa.html
Mya is not trained. She's a damn puppy.
@@treptowdee what I mean by that I for an example does mya go and attach people and bark around the store, the answer is no so she's trained but still training, that's what I meant
So, many many years ago I worked in a nursing home that allowed us to bring our pets to work. I had an extremely well behaved dog that the residents loved. I paid for very specific behavior evaluation to make sure that wheel chairs, and equipment wouldn’t scare her, strangers trying to pet her wouldn’t trigger her, etc. (this was not required, but I was not taking any chances). She was so good, never went into the dining room or a residents room, was so calm and 100% approved by the facility to be there. They also had a contract with a “therapy” dog to come in occasionally. The first time the therapy dog was there and saw my dog (waiting for me to finish up out side of a residents room, she was just laying quietly by the door) the therapy dog broke free of the handler and attacked my dog. The handler got so mad at me and started screaming at me that his dog was “licensed” and it was my dogs fault and my dog needs to be leashed (my dog was 100% approved to be at work with me, unleashed and I had a full behavior evaluation done). Luckily I had several nurses who had witnessed it and it was decided that any therapy dog that could attack without warning could not be trusted. (Part of the pets aloud policy was so family members could bring in well behaved pets that the residents had to “give up” when they moved in to the facility). I can’t even imagine if that therapy dog had attacked a resident. It has always made me wonder if that dog wasn’t a true therapy dog.
Omg 😱
my dogs puppies listened to me even though they didn't know me well
At my great grandpa's nursing home they have a room full of well taken care of kittens for the people there to bond with or to just help them relax. I remember before the outbreak of the virus we went here to visit my great grandpa and there were a bunch of the elders with cats in there laps. It was so cute to witness. (just a little sidenote if the kittens were to hurt the people there they would be removed by the workers and would be trained not to hurt people and if they stil did after that the cat would be removed)
A friend of mine and I used to conduct Bible studies at some of the local nursing homes. At one there was this very well behaved dog that just wondered around the home, getting pets from the residents. A very calm dog. I assume it was similar situation as yours nd they belonged to an employee.
You kept your self so calm and respectful. Am so glad you advocate for service dogs but are respectful when you do it
Mya did great but why the hell would someone do that I’m happy the little girl was nice but fr like wtf is wrong with ppl they need to be trained ! That’s not ok! Hope u have a good day Dominique 🖤
"They need to be trained" 😂 your not wrong
I am pretty sure she said she as a seizure disorder which I am not doubting. I want to clarify, that even if you are truly disabled that still dose not give someone (or you) the right to bring your untrained doggo into public. It as to be task trained to manage your disability like to pull a wheelchair, alert to your seizure etc. I have met many people like this lady (In the video) that think just because they are disabled means they can bring there dog every we’re.
Totally! They don't have to just be task-trained either. They cannot cause a disruption to the business or present any danger. Even if a SD performs magnificently 98% of the time in public, the 2% of the time when they don't, they can be asked to leave and are no longer legally protected from expulsion by the ADA.
@Christin W, yep! If my service dog was tasked trained but was disruptive in public I would not bring her!
@@coda3223 im confused...they dont have to be task trained? Service dogs must be task trained.
@@AndersenE27 "just task trained" ... As in: task-trained is not the only requirement to qualify as a service dog granted public access. Appropriate behavior (as described above) is an important requirement, too.
@Tom Johanson To clarify: I was speaking about when a dog is protected under the ADA.
Whether or not a pet is allowed in a public situation is a patchwork of municipality and state regulations, and up to each individual business to exclude disruptive pets, to require handlers pick up their pet's poop, pet not on a leash, etc. If they so choose. Businesses can exclude you for anything they want (no shirt, no shoes, no mask, not wearing the right kind of jacket, etc.), as long as it is not for being a protected class (such as having a disability and having a service animal).
There are many, many laws that detail when pets can be excluded for different situations (not on a leash, if you don't pick up their feces, digging, etc.). In my state, there is a state law that says pets aren't allowed on state beaches, natural area preserves, on ski trails during skiing season, and in other specific scenarios (WAC 352-32-060). Pretty much every public area held by my municipality or state require that dogs are leashed and that they don't bite or molest others at the bare minimum.
You're right that there aren't specific blanket laws that exclude all pets from all public areas, that's because that's not how the US legal system is organized. There are a variety of specific laws that exclude pets from specific areas. Pets don't have the legal right to access these public areas, whereas disabled handlers with a service animal do.
I'm guessing that you are trying to point out here is that Dominique (the gal in the video) is incorrect in asserting that the Dollar Tree business is required to exclude pets, because unless there is a specific state or municipality law pertaining to that specific store that overrides that business's rights to include or exclude who they want (provided they are not excluding on the basis of a protected class), then that woman is allowed to have her pet in the store (as long as the store says it's okay). The pet could even be defecating everywhere, if the business wanted to allow it.
She legit just wanted to play with that little dog 😂
She had no understanding it wanted to eat her

(I’m an SD trainer) I tried to educate an older lady the other day in Walmart as she walked in carrying her “Service“ Chihuahua into the store under her arm that only SDs were allowed. She said oh she’s a service dog. I explained that SDs are to be on the dolor not carried or in a cart. She told me she has service ID for her and has had it a long time. And proceeded to show me. To which I, smiling, told her she was defrauded, as well as was committing fraud for all the reasons everyone here knows. She politely argued with me asking how I knew what I was talking about.... well the hat and jacket I was wearing had SERVICE DOG TRAINER plastered all over them. Walmart employee who witnessed me announcing that the door says SDs only just withered away into the carts she was cleaning. Im almost 54 and believe will be needing to go on blood pressure meds soon because of the blatant purposeful fraud I keep seeing. I refuse to call it ignorance. They know they are wrong.

Hi, I enjoy watching your videos because they educate me on my rights as a new service dog handler and give me tips for further training. My dog finished her training back in November and she’s still quite new to public access but is continuing to do better and better with her manners. She’s an expert at helping me with my disability. She fights every battle with me. Fake service dogs scare me and the only thing I know to do is walk away quickly for safety. I’m learning so much with your videos and they help me to feel part of a community of other handlers. Thank you for sharing.💜🐾
Mya did such a good job! That little girl was cute too, hopefully she learns a lot from your channel
Congratulations Karen, you made it to the manager again.
Wow your really ignorant on the law.
Ugh, why are fakes such a huge problem? 😩 My local grocery store got so bad (at least 1 out of control dog almost every time, & peoples’ fakes even got into actual full blown fights in the store) that I ended up actually making little pamphlets that I keep in my SD’s vest just in case I ever need them that talk about almost everything, like when you can legally refuse a dog and how to tell a real service dog from a fake, & why fakes are dangerous. Luckily haven’t had to use them yet, because the manager is really nice and actually knows the laws & even kicked out an aggressive “ESA” that he saw go after us, but I think they could be really helpful if the dog problem gets too bad again. We’ve seen 2 other service dogs since then that I’ll give the benefit of the doubt, because they were fairly well behaved & not aggressive even though one was very distracted by my dog. The pamphlets fit lots more info than what fits on ADA cards, and it makes me feel better to have them on hand in case we run into something like this. I could post the file link if anyone might find it helpful :) Sorry you had to deal with that, people not following the laws properly are always so frustrating :(
She said I got my dog certified through the ADA law😂😂😂😂😂
Their is a scam site and it says, “Ada registration” so I think that’s what she was talking about.
That little kid was so sweet! Absolutely love how they asked what your channel was before they left also! And that growl both times was horrific 😭
I love your channel I have a GSD as a service dog I think what your doing is wonderful you've inspired me to do the same thing to educate people its not easy bless you for what your doing
I hate and love seeing stuff like this. It sucks it happens, but I am happy you can advocate & educate others, because not everyone can. I was at Walmart Friday night and someone with a giant service dog was having seizures in the shampoo aisle, some kids walked up and started petting the dog while doing dpt, I intervened and got the kids off so the dog could focus. Why can’t parents pay attention to their kids 😡 I stayed with them until they came out of it and offered help, they just needed a few mins to recover and thanked me for the help.
It's sad, because this is the truth of it. 99.9% of the employees at any given store aren't allowed to say jack shit, even if it is within the law to ask unruly, aggressive dogs to leave. We can get in big trouble for saying anything. Trust me, we'd like to but we need our jobs.
I used to work at Walmart (left for my own mental health) I was the only one that would say anything to people that would put their dogs in carts and/or didn't behave properly ex. Barking, growling, lunging. I made a few customers mad and my boss didn't like it, but I told my boss I could just report them to the health department and Walmart corporation. They didn't talk to me about it again and just let me confront people that did that crap.
Literally had a small dog, pee in the cart at my checkout lane. 🤢
Angel Cypher, I'm glad you got out of that situation, and hope you found somewhere more caring or at least are keeping safe.
Don’t hate me but I don’t see that Mya behaved well. She only seems to be interested in treats, jumps, looks distracted, and itches her face. What kind of tasks is she doing/working on? Of course that other dog should not be growing.
Mya is still a puppy going through the motions. She’s already learned task for my anxiety/PTSD. She’s spending the next year finishing training and learning medical alerts, then mobility once old enough.
She did do well considering the situation. Some
Dogs get traumatized from encounters like that.
Was she perfect? Absolutely not. But for her first encounter with something like this, she did good. She does not usually jump. The halter rubbing isn’t a big deal. And I wanted her focus on the treats and me, and not the dog.
@@ServiceDogPaws I don’t understand how her rubbing her halter will look different from future alerts. How do you know it is an actual alert?
I believe it is because she used to not do that until I started working on the ptsd response an encouraging nose nudges, licking, pawing, as responses to distract me.
She does it at home without it on.
Of course it’s a chance it got itchy. With more training, it gets easier to tell things apart. I was having anxiety during all of this. So it could have been. She was pretty persistent
She's not properly trained at all. Her owner is scatterbrained. You don't normally train your own service dog.
@@treptowdee Ummm...yes you do...most situations are specific and need tailored. I've known many people with service dogs and every single one trains them themselves.
Honestly as annoying as it is I’m glad there is no registration because it allows us handlers to make a fool of someone who claims they have a service dog. It also gives a clear definition of who is a true educated handler vs who is a fake with their “registration”
Agreed! Added burdens on folks with disabilities is definitely not the way to deal with dogs who shouldn't be used for public access being presented as service animals. Education, education, education seems like a much better option.
I agree with this mindset -- the laws are actually not exactly what you'd expect, which immediately makes it obvious who knows what they're talking about and who is just saying what they ASSUME is the correct answer.
She did wonderful.... proud of her being calm and patient
Some would call this a Karen move but all I can say is that you just exposed the heck out of her, and that’s great.
Omg I love how you and mya remained focus and she ignored the other dog and she was more focused on you xx
As a trainer I COMPLETELY understand how dangerous any distractions especially form other dogs can be! HOWEVER I've seen a few videos now and you often put yourself and dog into dangerous situations just to make a point or have footage ?! should the untrained dog be removed ..yes ! HOWEVER you standing near the aggressive dog..getting stressed either owner loudly arguing back and forth is not going to help with the dogs aggression who's only going to get worse trying to "protect" the owner and also with your pots it could trigger high HR..passing out ect! Then you would have a situation were you a pregnant lady falls and is unable to protect yourself or dog from the aggressive most of these irresponsible people know they are in the wrong but just don't care so involving yourself puts yall and risk and isn't going to change the bad behaviour in the slightest!
Like you say it's your dogs first time experiencing this so who knows what she's do if that dog was to bite your throat?! The aggressive dog is already stressed ..then the public exchange changes the atmosphere of the store ..EVERYONE is zoned in on the situation ..that aggressive dog can pick up on that ..it could be the thing to ramp it up to a whole new dangerous...physical level of stress! I promise I'm not trying to "hate" on you I'm just concerned for you and the baby I understand you have experience but your dogs not fully trained yet and there is ALWAYS room to learn and improve!
It's best to remove yourself entirely at go back once the aggressive dogs left to discuss your issue OR in bigger stores ignore the issue ..get a safer distance away and approach a staff member/manager about the issue ! If like here they are uneducated contact the head office or corporate. Looking through your videos it's scary to see how many ER trips are due to the stressful public conflicts or even scarier physical altercations !!! I LOVE that you are an advocate but you have so much footage of similar confrontations every time fitting you and your dog in unneeded danger especially since your dog is not fully trained yet..it's just not worth the risk to prove your point unfortunately 😡
It's not even the already stressed aggressive dog you need to be wary of the owner are often also mentally unstable and will lash out physically when called out in public!
Love the education and advocacy but please stay safe! Especially with a large following wouldn't want any viewers to get hurt approaching these irresponsible owners Xx
I agree. If you want to advocate that’s great but don’t go up to strangers you don’t know in public and start giving unsolicited advice. I am not the type of person to have a complete stranger come up to me and start telling me what I should and shouldn’t do, so I understand these peoples annoyance.
@@jill098 So you're saying you won't listen to a police officer because they're a stranger telling you what to do for the benefit of other peoples' safety? You realise that Dom has been in the hospital with a concussion for multiple days because of someone's pet distracting her service animal right? Nobody cares if it's a little bit of an annoyance or inconvenience to you to be told off for breaking the law. You could literally kill someone doing that but think your hurt little feelings are more important? Please have some human decency
A++++++ for that little girl! She wants to learn! 👍🏼
Thank you for being so nice about it. And for handling out the cards as well. I'm sorry you had to go through that.. You are the nices ones I have seen on TH-cam. God bless you & your family 🙏🏼
So sorry that service dogs and people that own them go through this problem. I agree with you 100%. This should be unacceptable. I'm happy you record what you go through with very inconsiderate people. And you are correct that can definitely distract your service dog from you , especially when you need their complete attention.
The difference between this and now is incredible. You’ve done so much training and it really shows!
%100 respect for that little girl for understanding that her dogs currently working
Early last year i was in a Target doing some shopping. I saw a service dog bark and lunge at another service dog. It was soooooo scary. I know the lunging dog was not a real service dog. I don't know why people bring their dogs in stores that are not service dogs.
Yea it’s utterly terrifying when you life like who it’s trained to save your life is being lunged at and trying to be attacked, sadly so many people do it and stores are so bad at letting it slide even after something happened!
So many people in the service dog community have had there dogs attacked, we run into so many fakes and it’s ridiculous that us disabled handlers have to be on alert and scared to go onto stores and have to worry for the safety of our selves and our dogs.
Love your channel. I've been showing my girls a bunch of your videos to educate them even more on service animals and why it's so important not to acknowledge the animals.
I should add. Since day one with them I've always taught them this but I find these kinds of videos are perfect as they can ask questions and watch the dog work but it clearly doesn't distract the dog!
Just watched this again because I didn't quite hear everything the manage said...and don't-cha know that darn dog made my heart jump again! But, what I also wanted to say is, I think you handled that very well and Mya did a great job as well. I'm so proud of the both of you!🥰🥰👏🙌 I should get myself some of those cards but I don't get out much since the pandemic began. But...I'll continue reporting the scam sites to the BBB & FTC though...at least I can do that. I think if we can get those illegal businesses shut down, it'll be a lot harder for people to obtain so called, "certifications & registrations", and all the other fake service/ESA dog paraphernalia. It may not be an easy task but it's better than sitting around and doing nothing about it.
Mya needs some work, too. Haha.
Yes, she does. Her first encounter like that, she didn’t do bad. But she could have done better. Hence training! And more training
Agree
Service Dog Paws, I like how you calmly handled that interaction with the Woman with the barking & growling small Dog. & I love how the child said sorry & then asked the name of your TH-cam channel. Please don't take this the wrong way, but because you stayed calm, & spoke to her without raising your voice, she didn't get all mad & start yelling at you, but she actually looked like she listened to you. Even when the woman said she had a registration paperwork from the ADA. Plus you were also working with Mya who you said in another comment, it was her first time seeing a dealing with obvious fake SD. You did a great job with Mya, & Mya also did a good job for seeing a barking, growling litte Dog for the first time. You did a great job handling the entire situation, especially after while talking to the employee & explaining what they are allowed to ask, & about dealing with fake SD's. Great Video, & Great Job too! 😀👍
Thanks ♥️♥️
Its outrageous the amount of people y'all encounter with fake service animals, but you're so patient and graceful in the way you handle them like props to you you shouldn't have to put up with that
I like how near the end Dominic was like I walk in without my mask. I going grab jeans I think but sounded like juice and leave. I didn't know the dollar stores had jeans. Lol. Only 2021 do you have to think about having a face mask in a store.
I’m glad I found your channel because me and my mom were going to bring my dog into bass pro shops to get her used to people and other dogs and just different things in general since you can bring dogs in. Now we probably won’t do it anymore because now I realized he dangers of a service dog losing focus and what can happen. Also a couple months ago you said my name on life and I freaked out. Thank you lol💕💕
That store is pet friendly!
@@ServiceDogPaws yeah I just don’t want to come in contact with a service dog and my dog bark or something💖
@@flash84737 yes, why would you want your dog to be acting like a DOG 🤦♀️
@@TheTuesday11 Read it again and see if it makes sense in your head
@@flash84737 sarcasm look it up!
She did so well! Ugh I HATE dollar tree! We where almost attacked around 2 times in the one near our house, one was caught on camera thankfully,
they did NOTHING when the dog was barking and lunging at my dog (got the cops involved they did nothing saying they could only take action if my dog was physically hurt 😑)
and I asked for them to kick her out, I have seen so many pets in the one near me we always go, my dollar tree is now a little better because I had to threaten to sue them due to them putting my life and my service dogs life in danger more then 20 times (within 2 1/2 months) with aggressive pets and fakes, even an off leash “service dog” who charged us and I had to protect my dog and get bit myself,
I hate that we have to worry about fakes we have enough issues as it is...she did so well good job y’all!
@Luis Chavez no we have not gotten attacked, we have had close calls, we have had dogs lunge, bark, growl, snarl, and charge at us, my dog dog thankfully has not been physically attacked yet.
I also just read over it and I meant to type 2 my bad I clicked the 0 as well, twice we have almost been attack at a dollar tree, other stores have fakes as well but I meant 2 my bad idk how I didn’t notice that.
The state and city I’m in has a massive issue with fakes and aggressive pets, the stores I go to are about an hour away if I need to go to that store and don’t want to go to that specific store, it’s an hour drive to get to another one, it’s rarely the same dogs, sadly so many pets and fakes are brought in, my state has a massive issue and has a high rate for fakes and pets being brought into stores.
Most of the time I only see the dog when it’s barking and doing everything it can to get to us, when your a service dog handler you run into way more pets then normal people do, some days there are non in a store other days there are 5, depends when the fakes come in.
I cannot tell you how many times I've gotten halfway to the store entrance only to have to turn around to get my mask from the car. You'd think it would be easy not to forget it at this point, lol. She did so good! It is so annoying that the woman kept trying to tell you the dog was certified even after you told her there is no such thing. She had probably been scammed and really believed it. Or wanted any excuse just to be able to have her dog with her.
Wow 😳, That was almost REALLY bad but SOO proud of Mya and glad u were able to get her focused back on you, She TOTALLY deserves LOTS of cuddles and love for that one 😍😍😍, AWESOME JOB Mya 🥰🥰🥰
Love these type of videos. It helps teach those who are not educated on this topic.
You did an amazing job when you were talking to the lady ! 💕
I couldn't ever do that since I am very shy.. 😅
Mya did amazing. 💙
When you mentioned this in the live i was shocked I love your channel💘
I plan to get a SD soon, if my doctors agree it would be a good route. Some people I tell I watch these videos say I just watch it for the drama. But the fact is I have emotional dysregulation, and watching these videos has helped so much in preparing me to handle these situations when they arise for me. Training myself what to say and how to react is the best prep for holding my ground when I get put into these situations. Thank you so much!
Thats why I don't take my dog to Walmart, so many pet dogs lunging at my SD. I think it would be reasonable for Sd's to have to pass the good citizen test. It was helpful to see how you handled your dog during the situation.
The ADA is very clear: if your dog behaves inappropriately, they can ask you to leave. It does not matter if it's a SD or if you have a disability that the SD mitigates. If the behavior is inappropriate, you lose public access for that visit. This is the only enforcement that is necessary, the problem is that businesses are choosing not to exercise their rights because the people the no-intervention-policy tends to hurt most are folks with disabilities who have SDs, and their rights, access, and business is devalued due to marginalized social status.
Every handler should know they can get kicked out of any public place if their dog behaves inappropriately. Every being has a breaking point whether it's facing mistreatment, threats, or an illness. That's part of your job as handler... to notice when your dog is too stressed to perform their job, and then remove them from the situation. You can also find yourself facing a lawsuit about your SD that may or may not be founded. Most handlers who are educated and take the responsibility seriously understand and accept these possibilities. That's why it's recommended that owner-trained SDs have extensive training logs and videos to demonstrate how well-behaved their SD is in a wide variety of scenarios.
@@coda3223 Amen! It seems like retailers have gone from not allowing valid SD's to allowing any dog no matter what the behavior.
1:57 that kid is so respectful and kind I've never seen a kid that sweet😭
The dog with the purple lead was hardly a shining example of obedience. This lady’s attitude is very off putting tbh.
She's such a good girl! Congratulations to you for how well she's trained - even if she's still in training!
I love how the little girl was more interested then the adult xDDD
Not sure if this is an off day or not but your pup is behaving pretty poorly as well for a working dog. I dont think shes ready for training in public outings yet...
If you watch the whole video, I explain she’s never been in a situation like this. And is still a puppy in Training. She was caught off guard. But I was able to settle her back down.
I'm so proud of her she is such a good girl ❤❤❤
You could complain about that girl's dog, but you didn't have the mask on to protect other people? That is just beyond my understanding.
For one look up CDC guidelines:
There are people with chronic illness wearing a mask is dangerous for them. She can not wear a mask due to this reason.
Her service dog os medical alert. The other dog is a fake service dog. It's illegal for it to be there and it can attack a real service dog or distract her medical alert servoce dog and her dog can miss an alert abs she could die.
The other woman's dog was bsrking and growling. Service sogs don't do that.
Outside of trained and necessary task work, there should be NO other vocalization, including, but not limited to, whining, grumbling, wooing, barking, growling, whimpering or other noise. Unless working, Service Dogs should be seen by the public and not heard. A service dog does not pull but is in a perfect heel. Focus only on its owner.
Business owners and staff have the right to remove a service dog that is aggressive, growling, snarling, and of course, biting. Business owners also have the right to remove a service dog if it is disruptive by barking repeatedly, wandering around and/or bothering other customers. Or pulling showing full signs of not being a service dogs
Under the Americans with Disabilities Act, it's a federal crime to use a fake dog. It's a felony punishable by fine and jail time.
Every time someone fakes a service dog, it puts the work of real service dogs in jeopardy. Trained service dogs provide assistance in everyday life to those who need it. The consequences are not just limited to a hostess asking your bouncy dog to stop putting his paws on someone else’s table. You and your dog’s actions, no matter how benign, will have impact on the people around you, and one misstep can cause people to believe that all service dogs are just over-glorified pets.
Also a fake service dog can distract a real service dog and cause them to miss a medical alert that could injure or kill the owner. Which would cause the fake owner to be arressted for attempted manslaughter.
."
I honestly believe that is more shops stores restaurants would start enforcing it and like if a dog is growling and pub in the in the store that they do have the right to ask for the removal. Dog anstores need to start doing it
This is gonna be interesting 🤨
That title I thought service dogs certified by ADA for it to go in a store the PA Traning has to be good obedience 🤨
They’re no certifications. And ADA is federal law. Which was the point. She didn’t even know what she was talking about
@@ServiceDogPaws yeah i didnt realise what you meant until after the video I was like hold up that's impossible right?
@@nadia_1237 the scam sites like to weave the law into it to make people think dropping 100 bucks on a piece of paper gives them full PA no matter what. when i first started SD research i went STRAIGHT to the .gov and got it from the source. why everyone doesn't is baffling.
@@platinum_amortentia I know that
These sites make people feel like they have to flash a card to get permission to enter. These sites don't require you to prove that your dog is trained and that it is a real service dog. I could register my wheelchair on one of those sites and flash that as I enter a store. After a while, that would start getting in people's heads that they need to only allow people who flash that card to allow wheelchairs into stores, etc. That is what these sites are doing and that is despicable and wrong.
Mya is amazing! I admire her 🥰
The little girl was so sweet. Plus how does the person think a dog can alert them for seizures when they're focused on other service dogs and growling at them?
WOW! How can I get a certification from the ADA for my sons service dog.....oh...thats right..I cant!
The little girl is wise beyond her years love it
Just today a dog in an emotional support vest came into the building I was in. He was pulling, sniffing the floor, spinning in circles, and pulling toward my service dog. My girl did great though and we got out of there before anything happened. People are so entitled thinking they can bring dogs like that into stores 🙄
she is so right. the law is the law. I have a service dog and I hate seeing people call a dog, a service dog like that. my service dog is also still training. I'm glad to see someone stand up.
Why do you keep giving her treats continuously? She rubs your leg when she’s wanting another one. lol
It's apart of training.
And she's not rubbing her leg due to that it's an alert partly.
I have a fully trained service dog and still treat him when working, it enforces his behavior and I dont expect him to work for free.
I hate fakes 😣 even though I haven’t brought my SDIT in PA yet. Thankfully where I live service dogs aren’t that “popular” and I’ve only seen like 4 in my life. Only One possibly fake, it had good behavior so I can’t say it was. The only problem was the handler carried it one time, had it in a bag poking its head out the other time. There were people petting it all over the place. Not saying it was fake I just think the handler should be more educated on how you handle SDs
Chihuahuas -_- the dog breed that scares me and that’s on being bit almost on the eye at the ripe ol age of 4 😎
Chihuahuas are mean little f'ers!😂😂
oh man, i am a vet tech, and chihuahuas are by far one of the scariest breeds to work with. it's a good thing they're small and can be handled fairly easily. if they were big i couldn't even imagine. 😅
Man I’m glad I got a good one then, she’s so sweet and loves everyone. Her only vice is she sees big dogs and has to bark and act tough, but she’s not. I remove her from the situation and never let her run up to those or any other dogs. Little dogs she doesn’t care, she’s like “ oh you’re my size... cool” lol so she’s not perfect but my moms dog, you have to watch him. He only likes certain people, not child safe and I’m the only person that can trim his nails and not be bit. But as withy my dog we keep him from those situations where he could be a problem. Knowing your dog is very important especially if you’re going to have them in public like that.
I apparently had THE exception to the whole breed lol.... my chi was a freaking angel. She was so sweet and quiet and calm. Excitement for her meant rapid tail wagging and a little dance sometimes, but that was it. She had a sweet little girly bark that only she could do lol, and she only used it when a stranger was approaching my door. As soon as she realized I knew the person she'd stop and resume tail wags. She just wanted to be held and cuddled. She never bit a soul (so when Petco groomers accused her of biting them, I literally laughed in their face because it wasn't possible.... they had clipped her nails too short and she bled, and they needed to blame her somehow, so they said she bit them really hard and left a mark.... at this point she only had TWO molars left in her entire mouth!!!!! It was IMPOSSIBLE for her to bite!! 🤦🏻♀️) and she loved her "big" sister (my husky mix, who is the younger but obviously larger) and would play wrestle with her, and pretend to bite her with her gentle little mouth lol.... my husky would roll onto her back and let my chi win the wrestling match by climbing onto her! 🤭 my poor sweet baby died far too soon and I still miss her everyday. 😭 it breaks my heart feeling like I'll never again be able to find a tiny thing like her that also has her perfect personality. 🥺 because I worked at a vet too and can confirm that they're very often the violent ones, I think maybe not only because they're compensating for their lack of size, but perhaps because they're not usually trained to be good because people think little dogs are too small to hurt anyone or even to run away fast enough to escape lol, you can just reach down and grab them before they've gotten very far.... people just don't bother teaching them?! 🤷🏻♀️ I was only bitten badly once in my few years at the clinic, and guess which breed?! And that little thing had jaws of steel dude, I was wearing JEANS, and I was just WALKING BY in the lobby and it came dashing up to me, jumped up as high as it could, and CHOMPED. It BROKE MY SKIN all the way through my friggin jeans!! 😱 it left a hefty ugly bruise the size of the palm of my hand too. I was notably never EVER bitten by a single one of the "bully" breeds. 🤔
Oh god
I’m glad I have a cat
But I’m not saying all dogs are bad
Just some
Or they’re misunderstanding
I don’t have a service dog, but it hurts me to see this happen to other service dogs. I have really bad anxiety but my mom says I wouldn’t qualify for a service dog. Anyway it just hurts to see other people not respecting service dogs
Your dog should ignore the other dog at all costs, not try to play with them.
Once fully trained, yes. She’s still in training. Which is why I used the opportunity to take her focus to the treats. She’s a puppy still. We’ve worked with other teams. And she was able to ignore them and work alongside them. This is why fake are so bad. The cause issues with service animals in Training. But how do you train a dog not to React to a situation like this, without it happening?? She has at least another year of training to go. Considering all of that, she did okay. Not perfect, but she did settle down and I did get her focus back on me and kept the treats coming to keep her attention off the dog. Training.
Service dogs are still dogs, not robots, even the best trained service dogs can get distracted
Dollar tree might as well be pet friendly with that bogus policy. But regardless, any agression should be grounds for dismissal from the store.
Mya (I’m sorry if that’s not how it’s spelled) is such a good dog, and very well trained.
If that was a real service Dog her daughter would know not to ask to pet a service dog... Nothing against the kid she was sweet but it was obvious the dog wasn't trained and the daughter has no idea how to act around a service dog.
Kids be raising them selves nowadays it’s amazing out a little girl was saying sorry in the mom just walked away like nothing❤️🙏🏽😭😭
The little girl was so sweet and cute!
Despite how that person and dog acted, Mya did amazing! She clearly was interested but listened and focused on her easily. I've been watching since you first got her and she clearly is progressing amazingly
The way the lady looked nervous and was quiet speaking was also a dead give away AS IF THE BARKING DIDNT.. like if you know your in the right you wouldn’t be quiet and looking like a deer in headlights... I don’t have a service animal but you better believe if I saw that behavior I’d call them out AND I’m loud. As soon as someone says it’s a service animal they get a free pass and that’s BS.. like prove it? She said medical LIKE NO DA LADY... people employees any staff or otherwise shouldn’t just be like okay I trust ya because unfortunately in today’s society YOU ARENT ABLE TO.. there good people and then there’s the rest unfortunately the trustworthy and the caring are bumbarded by the others.. it’s like the whole pitbull thing when an animal is abused or there’s a stereotype that’s what people immediately see the bad. It doesn’t seem like much but there are good people small as it may be..
Sorry I ranted to whoever reads this! love this channel 🥰😅
People like that drive me insane!!! Would I love to bring my pup with me everywhere I went? Absolutely! Do I need to/is she a service dog? Absolutely not. People like this are incredibly selfish!!!! They put people at huge risks doing this crap. My bloods boiling for you. I'm so sorry.
Dollar Tree Dog Policy copy and pasted from Google/Website: "Are dogs allowed in Dollar Tree stores? No, dogs aren't allowed in Dollar Tree stores unless it's a service dog. There's a very high chance that you won't be allowed into the store with your dog, unless he is a service dog. Of course, some locations are more lenient than others"
The dog should've been kicked out... She doesn't even know her own companies policy...

Your dog is barely under control you have to treat it every 3 secs
Funny seeing how her dog is mostly just sitting there quiet while the other dog which is a fake is growling .
Her dog is still in training. The treat a is called apart of training. It's used for positive reinforcement many trainers not just for sevice dogs but police dogs are trained this way.
The other dog had no contr it was growling which sevice dogs do not do. It was a fake illegal for it to be there.

Please educate yourself.
Our Walmart does this all the time. They say that there is nothing that they can do about it, and they don't ask questions. The last time it was a growling terrier in a shopping cart while I was at the pharmacy with my service dog. I told the lady that she needed to correct her service dog and that it should have 4 on the floor or carried in the store. She informed me that it was emotional support (at least she was honest), and to mind my own business. I told her that it was my business because her dog was distracting and acting aggressively towards my dog and that she was risking the health of others by having her dog in the cart. I was then ignored and the lady walked off giving me the bird. Ugggh I don't have the energy to deal with it, sometimes it is all I can do to get to the store. Thank you for your posts.

Hi I love ur vids and my mom taught me to NEVER EVER look or make eye contact with a service dog and I always think in my head how cute they are but I cant look or talk to it so yea I also love u stay safe bye 💓
all i can say is well dine to your dog and wlll done for using the incounter for a train
I'm 9 and I know that's not normal dog behavior, Ps. The little girl was so cute! I think 1 time I accidentally said something to a service dog, And my parent's luckily warned me not to do that. I'm glad I have parents who aren't stuck-up people.
I am able to get a service dog, but at the moment I choose not to because I’m still in a position to manage without somewhat, and considering how much money is put into training these wonderful animals, I don’t want to drain the already low money for UK service animals. It was only about a year ago I was chatting to a friend from the USA, and she told me she was going to get her dog certified as an emotional support dog (that dog has since past may he rest in peace). I asked why. Despite her having a form of disability and some mental health issues, her answer was “so that I get to take him everywhere with me with no questions asked”. I was quite taken aback. It’s that attitude that gives genuine users of genuine service dogs so much hassle. I understand that emotional support and service dogs are different in the USA (I’m from the UK), but still, surely a need other than “I just wanna take him everywhere with me it would be so cool” is not a good answer. I’ve never owned a dog and I don’t know much about them, but her dogs are not trained at all, aside from pooping outside, they often pee inside, there is no structure to the day, barking and growling and jumping and sometimes biting. Not the dogs faults, but she had opportunity to start with them from young puppies.
Businesses are being overwhelmed with fake service dogs. There needs to be a solution.
This is uncalled for!
What is uncalled for?
If I was the person, nothing would happen since I don't take my dog with me to groceries and stuff. Well actually my step dad is the one who gets the groceries- and my dog is VERY hyper and playful. Like- I can only train him to sit and lay down so far and I've had him since I was 6 or 7 :' ) but anyways, I like how the girl was polite :D
Darn, The dogs just all happy to see the other dog.
Actually wrong.
Mus is trained to help her owner ans by law is allowed to be there. The other dog is not trained and is not allowed to be there.
Do you know anything about service dogs.
