To the people complaining that HER dog isn't trained well enough in the first place if it can't handle being barked at: Mya is still training. And she needs to be in public spaces in order to do so. It's like you're doing an exam, you're doing great, and someone just starts screaming in the middle of class about how giraffes aren't real and birds are government spies: it makes no sense in the given situation, its uncomfy, and (even just a lil bit) d i s t r a c t i n g. And sure, maybe she could've been a tad more subtle about approaching the issue BUT I'D BE PISSED TOO! Imagine having to deal with that almost every time you go out somewhere. It'd suck! SO MUCH. Also consider how the owner of the SD feels too. I don't have a service dog (though I qualify), and I love animals - especially dogs, but the few times I've seen aggressive dogs in public places (specifically where they shouldn't be, like no-pet areas) have caused me to shut down, have panic attacks, etc. And I know people who have even more debilitating anxiety than I do, who in a situation like this could cause serious harm to themselves and others. Y'all gotta open your mind. This isn't just one single encounter. This happens all the time, in all parts of the world, and it can have some extreme results if not careful. And to add on to it - people who'd benefit from a SD shouldn't be denied because of the potential issues that come with another person's irresponsibility. But that happens all the time too. People have to deny getting medical equipment to help their disability because of some old man and his angry ass dog, because said angry ass dog being loud at a SD can harm the person's mental state. Just overall, it's better, AND SAFER, to not bring animals to no-pet spaces unless they are a professional working animal or AT LEAST training. I know this is kinda long winded and probably doesn't make sense but stuff like this stresses even me out, and I wish people were more considerate of people who do have SDs if not just illnesses alone. There's been plenty of times where I've been made fun of, ignored, etc. in a situation where I have a panic attack, which makes it worse, which means I'll likely need medical help due to injury. And I'm sick of people disrespecting other people for something they need/can't control. If you have an SD you need them for a serious reason. They aren't a free four-legged drinking buddy you take where you please because you feel like it.
Girl, your dog is well trained .I've trained my own dogs each and every one of them the dog I have now I wasn't on planning to use her at the time for my service dog with all her training I've done with her in the pass and present i do with her she is great for me and her when I have to go out in public .training does pay off yes for the safety of you, your dog, and others.
Your videos have given me so much more confidence going out with my service dog. He's PTSD reaction trained and we're training medical alert. Many places near me will just immediately say you can't have an animal in here and kick us out. These are places like grocery stores, the bank, coffee shop, all public access places. With the education you provide, I feel so much more confident going out and trying to see new places. Thank you so much for sharing you journey.
I like the approach of not calling them a straight up liar (even though they are) and just telling them they have to better training. I like this approach. Keeps everyone respectful. Or should. He was very combative because he knew he was wrong.
Thanks to this channel I understand how important it is to know the difference between a real service dog and those dogs whose owners abuse the system and ruin things for people that depend on service animals. Prior to seeing this channel, I had no idea that this was even an issue.
It is SO refreshing to see a comment like this. As a SD user, I am all too familiar with situations like this, & others posted on this account. I try to spread awareness on my small pages, but it can only reach so far. I know this page makes a difference. Very slowly but surely, I have hope that progress is being made.
Poor Mya 😢 she sounds so scared. Poor girl 😢 that’s sickening that old man a veteran is laughing and clapping at her and mocking her. That’s disgusting behavior.
He really said that you were causing the disturbance because your dog caused his dog to bark uncontrollably........really?!??!? That’s like saying “it’s your fault I robbed your house because you have a lot of stuff”, I mean Whaaaaa???? 🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
i have a genuine question. first of all, i’m aware that pets in stores can be very harmful to the environment and are an inconvenience for service dog handlers. but what about the moment you step outside? aren’t SDs trained to ignore distractions? so while it’s obviously *wrong* to bring pets inside, why does the argument in these situations always relate to some sort of immense danger and “missing alerts” when the very same thing could happen in a public space where pets *are* allowed? again, not saying people should ever bring pets/fakes indoors when it’s illegal and wrong. just feeling a bit of a disconnect.
Service Dogs can still get distracted. In another one of her videos, Mya missed a blood sugar alert because a dog was distracting her. Dogs aren't robots, so obviously they will mess up sometimes.
@@FadeMouse that’s a good point. i know that dogs can get distracted and it doesn’t make them any less valid of a service animal, but my point is that distractions happen all the time in outdoor places where pets are allowed. and in those situations, handlers aren’t allowed to start confrontations about people bringing their barky pets in public. so while i understand the concept of protecting one’s rights and enforcing the rules of an establishment, i’m confused as to why some handlers make it their main argument that their lives are in imminent danger because of an annoying pet indoors when the point of having the service animal is to assist in those situations. i will always be on the side of the handler in a situation like this but i feel like this subtopic is never touched on and people with disabilities can still be dramatic and/or petty.
@@thepixel666 I don't own a service animal, nor do I know a lot. But, service dogs don't always get distracted, as you can see in some of Dom's videos. I think if the dog distracting the SD was really bad, they would probably just leave and find somewhere else. (At least that's what I think!) I don't know all of the laws, so I can't be the one to talk very much about it. :)
@@FadeMouse yeah i agree, a lot of handlers are pushed to leave places because of bad distractions and that’s really unfair and frustrating for them. that’s why i’m glad there are rules in place to keep pets out of certain areas because i know it makes things a lot easier for the handler. i have a family member with a SDIT and i would hate for her to constantly have to deal with inconveniences that are perfectly avoidable. anyhow, thanks for the conversation and good points! i think we’re on the same page, i just wanted to spark some discussion on a detail i happen to notice a lot in these types of videos lol
I think that people who do have service animals tend to stay away from pet friendly places unless the animal is “off duty” (a service animal is never off duty but I mean when they are allowed to act like any other animal), if they are in their beginning stages of training and want to train at a pet friendly place before going into non-pet friendly places, they are socializing their new pup, or distraction training but other than that they try to stay away from places that are going to have an abundance of animals.
This happens to my friend all the time .. He has a service dog and people are always trying to approach him and he always has to tell them he is working and cannot. My friend suffered from a gunshot to the leg and the dog alerts him when he needs to sit down and the dog can miss an alert when someone approaches the dog…
Not only is this so unnecessary for service dog handlers to have to handle this but why on earth would you put your dog in that situation not only is it dangerous for a service animal it’s dangerous for your dog if there’s a fight and no doubt stressful for your dog I love my dog id love to take her everywhere with me but I absolutely will never put her in a dangerous or unnecessarily stressful situation
That dog is not in training. If my SDIT barked, I would stop everything and give her a correction. Personally, I would have gone straight to the manager and tell them.
If my pet dog barked like that I would stop everything and correct it. I’d leave the darn park if my dog wouldn’t stop behaving like that. I’d be embarrassed. My friend asked me to walk her dog. The dog barked and barked at everyone and everything. I started letting people know the dog is not mine. It was embarrassing to not have control over the situation.
That’s a good idea in theory. Unfortunately not all managers are fully aware of ADA laws regarding service animals. Nor do all of them give a shit. I have literally heard managers of grocery stores come right out and say they don’t.
My SDIT is used to going into Walmart and not being approached. It is probably the one place where I normally NEVER have to remind him to practice good manners. He never greets anyone and can squeeze passed all the blocked areas like a pro! This time, someone brought their ESA into the store, untethered and it ran up to us (not aggressively, just ran straight towards me), my SDIT became uneasy, got protective and hackles went up and he barked at this untethered dog. I could tell the dog was NOT aggressive, however, the behaviour was EXTREMELY inappropriate AND my SDIT was immediately corrected for HIS reaction to what he obviously perceived as a threat. I have the expectation that he handle these types of situations in a certain manner and it gave me pause and opportunity to train, but seriously! Walmart isn't a damned dog park! Train your f'ing dog for appropriate public access or leave them at home!!!! I look at every frustrating situation as an opportunity to help my SDIT learn appropriate reactions but I am just as frustrated as the next person when my dog has to be corrected all because someone else is an irresponsible pet owner.
I get that this person has a ESA but c'mon ESA aren't service dogs. Mya did well, dogs aren't robots and make mistakes. For those that are saying oh Mya shouldn't be distracted by a barking dog like I said above service dogs aren't robots she was given a correction/ verbal command and was focused afterwards. I get that some service dogs are hyper focused on their handler and that is great. Not every dog is trained like that, every dog is trained differently. I believe Mya is still in training Dom feel free to correct me on that. I love your videos ❤️ Mya is doing amazing can't wait to have my service dog in training by next summer .
Well I'm a bit confuse when your claiming a ESD isn't a service dog if that's the case take off SA out of the ESA .if no one can then a SA is a SA even if it's a ESA
My service animals still reacts to other dogs sometimes (she just turned 1 and we are still working on her anxiety) but if she ever forgets her manners we always leave IMMEDIATELY. He should've been responsible and left if it was really a service animal
@@breakingthechainsofpain1140 The law says that a service animal must be under control of the handler at all times, not that they must perfectly be non-reactive. There is a difference between a controlled reaction and uncontrolled reaction.
I'm curious why the dog is on a check chain and not a harness? In Australia all of our service dogs wear harnesses and are trained to recognise they are working when they have it on.
So service dogs in the US don't have to wear one thing or anything bc for some handlers? Putting certain things on the SD is not PHYSICALLY possible. Especially since SDs do more than just guide work or helping someone in a wheelchair pick things up.
All the Service dogs I have worked with and others my girl and I have trained with would have been distracted also. They would most definitely looked which is completely understandable. They are dogs, they watch out for their safety as well as their handlers. We can't expect a dog to ignore 100% a potential threat. I know my girl sees things differently, in a building she is very focused and outside she is a little looser with her surroundings but still aware of me. She reads the environment differently
I actually have an emotional support dog, and have been scammed by those self registration service dog websites. Because I have a generalized anxiety disorder, and he helps me stay calm. My dog is well trained, and tends to ignore other dogs sometimes. Also has no reactivity issues bones in his body. We go to many places mainly places that are dog friendly, even a vegan cafe where the owners let us come in every time and treat us kindly. My dog does so good. He's older now almost 14 so gets more anxious, he does whine into a bark. I calm him down. So he'd make a great service dog, I tried sometimes and did research what I need to do. I heard they don't need certifications, licenses or anything you can certify them yourself by a lady with service dog 24/7 from every walk to the dog park or the common walking areas where dogs go. She did let dogs approach her dog but never people. She was kind of fussy with her dog. I felt sorry for her dog too, like no breaks from working and work on socializing?
Working service dogs dont get 'breaks' in the sense like what we get. They have 'down time' at home though, but are always alert to their handler. Service DOgs cnat be elderly, so your 14 yr old pup could never be a service dog. The dog cant have medical issues or disabilities. Service Animals are required to be in good health so they can task properly. No handler would allow a dog to approach their service dog.
@@CleverClover2023 He's in great health, just took him to the vet, almost 15.❤️ As for service dogs, I still feel sorry for them. Well in the future decide on a service dog, I let dogs approach them for socialization is important.❤️ I'm not like most people.
@@ryanwitwickifaddegon4291 Proper socialization is NOT letting your dog greet other random dogs. It is about teaching the dog to be neutral to the environment, other people and other dogs/animals. Not saying the dog cant be around other dogs, but it needs to be controlled and structured. Please do not get another dog until you are educated on dog training, behavior and service animals.
Yeah. Don’t ever allow your dog to greet any other dog. Most dog fights happen from dogs greeting each other on leashes. Aside from that you don’t know the other dog regardless of if their owner says it friendly. You do not allow that to happen. You keep your dog safe before anything else
I think you missed the point of ILLEGAL. Bad attitude? I got more than that. You’d have a bad attitude too if you had to deal with these stupid, dangerous, illegal situations. If it was your LIFE on the line
@@kimzephyr5986 Maybe, but her Instagram says it's still on at 5. I guess if she is having a medical episode though she won't think of changing an Instagram caption.
@@MelissaSeoulLiving2023 also possible different time zones too. I'm eastern time zone so yea plus she could be educating / calling the cops or something. I'd just wait it out.
See sometimes I don’t get why you do that like film people without their consent I don’t want you to get sued and they can like so you big time but you still like to see them without their consent and why can’t I just wanna know if this question I really don’t know why can your dog come in but they are dog camp
Please kindly educate yourself this I is in public . The First Amendment protects the right to to record in public without consent and specifically, when someone is breaking the law like person with the fake service dog was doing. If he tried to sue her he would end up jailed for misrepresenting a pet as a service animal. Her dog is a task trained service animal the other dog which is barking is not. By law her dog can be there the other dog can not. The barking can lead her dog missing a medical alert to a medical episode which can KILL her. The place is not pet friendly service dogs do not bark. That's why her dog can be there abd hos can not.
@@fantasygirlstudio4659 It’s not me it’s called personal rights she has no right to film person without their consent especially if they don’t want to be filmed if so if I was to come up with a camera and film you you would say no don’t fill me so how am I not educated I’m probably more smarter than you my IQ score is add 200 so obviously I’m smart I know what a service dog is I am saying don’t be rude to a person and then don’t have their consent to film them that’s what I said you need to educate yourself and stop listening to hard
@@fantasygirlstudio4659 like at this point what are you trying to say like you need to fix what you have going on in your mind and what’s up with you do you need medical help they are questions I never ask in a rude way you don’t even know me or how I said it I’m axing a question from their perspective how would it work third of all you can kind of shut up because neither did I know it was supposed to happen I asked a question and I was expecting high reply kindly not with this but I can easily easily sue you for harassment because you keep on coming with me with your attitude and telling me that I am dumb and that at this is abuse stop stop for real before I really called the police and I will tell them play get a such a caring like shut up. I never asked you I asked her so shut up I asked if somebody what’s the film you would how would you add to be very upset hi that’s all I said she was kind of being rude in the video for telling another man’s dog to shut up you could assume Trash that in filming him without his consent and filming the restaurant without consent and in the hospital she filmed all those people that their consent and on top of that she got the girl number in the video so I just cut yourself before you come to me
@@jaziahdoesart952 It's oy a public area look up the Constitution she does not have to ask permission to record in public by law the First Amendment protects the right tovrecord ANY THING in PUBLIC even other people there is no expectation of privacy they can not sue her for recording in public even more son when a crime is happening its her legal right
This is a hard situation for everyone involved in this very situation! There needs to be real identification and laws for service dogs! Owners of establishments are in a horrible situation, due to lack of knowledge and laws, and are really just afraid of loosing business or doing the wrong thing! The man with the dog barking either doesn’t know the rules, or is blatantly abusing them! If he genuinely needed his dog for service, he definitely wouldn’t have been so defensive. Just a bad situation that you handled well!!!! Hopefully is fake service dog takes a giant crap 💩 on his pillow, it would be the best “service” that dog could do for him! 😉
Omg, why are people bringing their pets in? Im not sure how you handle this but you’re so great. How is your anxiety when there’s another dog somewhere?
Dominique was the man with the fake service-dog asked to leave? I did not get to watch it earlier when you posted it because I was not feeling very well I would like to know what did the manager due to this customer and his supposed service animal.
My friend’s service dog is a Golden retriever mix name Buddy .. He loves the movie Elf so he named him Buddy !!! Buddy is very sweet with everyone ❤️Because he is a service dog we can only pet him at his house not in public. He also educates others about service dogs too ..
Hi, I have a question. I was at Walmart with my grandmother, I had encountered a fake service dog. I’m not sure if it was fake but it was sniffing everything. Not looking at the handler and it was a small chihuahua and it had one of those Amazon or "Common" service dog vests that most people use, Not the custom ones. And I was making faces at her, because if there’s was a legitimate service animal, either if it was me, ( I’m trying to figure out how to get a service dog ) Or someone else, It can risk the handlers disability like seizures or any other disability. I’m no service animal handler, But I know la all the information, I told my grandmother that the dog was a fake, She told me that she disagreed. She thinks it’s legitimate! So what should I do next time I encounter a fake service dog even though I’m not a handler? I only have a ESA but I’m not stupid like other people who bring their ESAs to public places. Edit: The chihuahua didn’t even bark at all, It was just sniffing around and not focusing on the handler.
It may have been in training I have a young chihuahua cross who is only three pounds at a year old I trained him in a sling for heart alert and am now just starting ground training he was so little I was worried get stepped on people don't always see my 30 lbs multipurpose service dog who works in tandem with him .if the handler didn't correct it could be a fake or it could be the handler is in a disassociateive state at that moment and didn't notice. Either option is highly possible and some handlers stick with the cheaper harnesses and vests because they can't afford one I know my little guy is only a year old and using an Amazon vest because I can't afford a custom one right now. They are commonly used but doesn't always equal a fake service animal
Me too...my sd is also a chi chi for cardiac alert...he didn't start ground work till he was two years old to give him time to grow, ie not get stepped on or scarfed up by a pet dog... He was carried in a sling early on and still is if I'm having a difficult day..he will alert no matter how he he travels...I feel better on bad days if he's near my chest.. To make a long story short, I HATE it when sd owners make stupid statements...ie, if 4 are not on the floor then it not real a sd.. And yes. I also use a stroller if the travel is long...having to walk miles or better...I cant use the sling or any other carrier for long distances because of serious back problems....he can't walk those distancees due to very small size and short legs...Again I HATE it when sd handlers state...if its in a stroller, its not a real sd... He alerts no matter how he travels and has saved my life many times... I think alot if self righteous sd handlers need to better educate themselves before the make such broad assumptions.. Just saying
I follow you but my dogs are ESAs and it says on their paperwork that have access just like service animals do especially where I live at I live in Savannah Georgia so. I guess it's different in certain states.
No. It sounds like you fell for the scam websites. They claim that ESA have public access. But under federal law & state law they do not. ESA don’t have paperwork. To legally have an ESA it has to be a note from your doctor. That reads something along the lines of “Megan requires an ESA”. That only gives you access into no pet housing. If you bring them in public you risk facing charges, jail time etc. that paperwork won’t hold up in a court of law. Since ESAs are not service animals, they are not granted the same access to public places such as restaurants, malls, and other stores. Your ESA will only be allowed to enter pet-friendly public places. Neither law covers ordinary pets or what some call "emotional support animals": animals that provide a sense of safety, companionship, and comfort to those with psychiatric or emotional disabilities or conditions. Although these animals often have therapeutic benefits, they are not individually trained to perform specific tasks for their handlers. Under the ADA and Georgia law, owners of public accommodations are not required to allow emotional support animals, only service animals. Quoted from link below. For Georgia state laws. www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/georgia-laws-on-service-dogs-and-emotional-support-animals.html
Federal Law doesn't change state to state. ESA pets do NOT have public access rights and are NOT service animals. Can't believe that you are that stupid to fall for a scam lol. Its is a criminal misdemeano0r to bring a pet into a non pet friendly store. You risk jail time, fines and in some states they can take your pet away and euthanize them.
Could u maybe start putting captions? As someone with audio processing issues its so hard to hear what people are saying over the background noises....
The people in this comment section is 🥴🥴 let me break this down for ya: (1) service animals should NOT bark or cause disturbances. One or two boofs isn’t the end of the world. (2) her dog is trained. Seriously look at any of her videos, her dog is trained 😂 (3) when your life depends on an animal that can be distracted and have off days, you can speak on this issue. If you don’t, keep your opinion to yourself. You have NO idea what we go through when we depend on these animals to survive. They aren’t an accessory. They aren’t wanted. They are NEEDED. smdh people.
TH-cam told me to watch this again lol Sitting listening to you handle the situation is amazing! If it was me I'd fumble over all my words and then be up all night replaying it over and over thinking of everything I should have said...
She’s off leash trained. We use the short traffic lead so if she’s working off leash she doesn’t trip on it or get tangled up. I also don’t have to worry about fainting and getting tangled
Don't you just love people bringing their pets into environments they shouldn't belong guys emotional support animals are not service dogs emotional support animals are for home service dogs are for public learn the difference please
These comments do not pass the vibe check. This country has very little laws that protect disabled people. Our dogs are our Life Lines. It is not as simple as picking a dog out, throwing a vest on the dog, and BOMB its a service animal. It takes years!
Wrong! ESA pets are only allowed in pet friendly stores. They are NOT allowed in non pet friendly stores. Yes, ESA pets can have basic training, but they are not task trained to help their handler with a disability.
@@pocahontas1673 Nope. ESA pets have no public access rights. They are not service dogs. What you are doing is illegal and putting real service dogs and the public at risk. Leave your cat at home.
There was a guy in my Walmart he had his German shepherd ride on the scooter with him and it’s jump off to greet people and he’d have the leash in his hand but he’d let go of it to greet people as they rode by.
im going to be honest, can't blame you for it. maybe to some sounded like an argument but your dog is your lifeline basically. if mine did that i do whatever was needed to get them under control. if that failed at that point. i be pulling them from public access to work on issues and be leaving. dont matter if his is fake, esa or legit, its not trained properly or not at all and is dog reactive. he needs to be responsible. what he did including trying to blame you for anything but taking the blame himself, is not responsible at all.
I swear this guy just proved to me again why I like animals more than humans. So are a lot of the comments here. This guy was literally breaking a federal law. ESA’s don’t have public access. It isn’t hard to educate yourselves on these things. Google, even as biased as it can be, can actually be a good thing at times. His dog barking like crazy could’ve put Dom in serious danger. Or any other SD handler for that matter. SD’s can have their off days yes. I didn’t see that here. I saw Dom keep her under control and Mya did great. But that guy was being an asshole.
One thing I'm finding common is that those complaining about other dogs losing focus also have legit service dogs losing focus. Wouldn't that be the same as the barking dog losing focus? I'm new to this SD world. 😂
No because service dogs do not bark they are trained to focus on their owner. However an untrained service dig can distract and injure a reward service dig putting both disabled owner and service dog in danger. It's illegal to take a non service dog into non pet friendly places for a reason.
@@leejennifercorlewayres9193 It's a slow process but it can be done. May I ask do you know much about service dogs? They have to get focused on their owner more so medical alert service dogs. Barking is a sure fire way to spot a fake.
@@leejennifercorlewayres9193 Quoted from the ADA. Service dogs must be under control. Under control also means that a service animal should not be allowed to bark repeatedly in a lecture hall, theater, library, or other quiet place. However, if a dog barks just once, or barks because someone has provoked it, this would not mean that the dog is out of control. However if the dog barks as in related to a task that is another acception. The dog that was barking was not a service dog.
as a boxer handler, this makes me sad to see. I get that boxers are huge people-pleasers and always want to be with you (hence why I'll be sticking with the breed for my next SD), but leave them at home. ESPECIALLY when its a breed as high-drive as a boxer that's clearly untrained.
So infuriating when people bring fake service dogs into stores and they bark at legit service dogs, the only time my service dog will ever bark while working or while in a public place is if she’s alerted me multiple times and I’m not taking notice or if I’m unconscious and she’s trying to get help
Looking at this caused my anxiety 😥 to go up. My 🫀 almost stop beating when she said: “If” I pass out 😜. Girl- , your stress, IS making- me vomit 🤢 and pass-out. 🙄.
Her fainting is do to a life threatening chronic illness her sog alerts too. By law her dog is allowed there. The man with his barking dog is not. His is not even a service dog. 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. Appear professional, well-groomed and well-taken care of. Your Service Dog is a representative of both you and the Service Dog community. She should always leave everyone she comes in contact with with excellent impressions. Keep his or her nose to his or her self at all times, even if there are food, products or other interesting things readily accessible. Sniffing people, objects or food is not only rude, it’s a possible health hazard. Exceptions to this rule include Allergen Alert Dogs or other Service Dogs who rely on their nose to perform their work. However, the Service Dog’s sniffing should be directly related to task work and not random or merely “exploring.” Respond quickly and readily to the handler’s commands, cues or directions. Service Dogs should give off the appearance to anyone watching that they are highly trained and that they completely understand what’s being asked of them. Service Dogs should possess outstanding obedience skills and above-average manners and both should be readily apparent. A Service Dog’s demeanor, training and behavior should, without question, differentiate them from all but the best-trained pet dogs.
Must be really annoying coming across people with fake service animals all the time. Wish more people are more educated in the differences between service animals, emotional support, and therapy dogs. Keep educating and advocating Dom. Thank you for all that you do. 😊
Do you do SD training? i would love some help when i get my SDIT hopefully next year if i can afford it and my doctors agree. Any place near me they dont have everything i need i know all won't have it all but I want train my SD so i have better bond and i dont have 20,000+ laying around lol
I don’t hear the “bitchiness” that people say in some of these style videos I do see a brave woman taking a stand to spread awareness of what is right and wrong LEGALLY/FEDERALLY and I can’t Thankyou enough for educating me on service animals in every aspect and I also Thankyou for being the brave woman you are ! Your an inspiration girl 🥰🥰 btw atlas looked so cute in the beginning in his car seat he looked so sleepy 😍💕
You know what mya did really good since dogs were barking you told her leave it and she listened🐶. You spoke up and educated people by telling the person that there dog cant distract a service animal. Atlas was so cute in his car seat!
Calm? Seriously? This lady flipped out and turned into the biggest Karen ever. If she keeps this behavior up it will get corrected by someone someday and it likely won't be pretty.
I don't know why people think it's ok to bring untrained dogs to places even if they claim it's a sd it needs to be trained the fakes in my area are thick as fleas now and I've paid a high price for people's stupidity so much now my sd's training is suffering I was close to having her completely trained now so many things are falling back and now she's over sensitized to other dogs coming to her and barking and I can't get her to stop if you have any training tips or a trainer you can recommend me plz do I need help so badly I've spent to much time training her for it to just be ruined :(
Sorry, but if you're not blind, deaf, or in a wheelchair KEEP YOUR PETS HOME! If your heart is racing 200 bpm and you need a dog to tell you to sit down, or you're a diabetic (like myself) and need a dog to tell you (which I highly doubt) that you took to much insulin... You have no business being in public with, or without a dog🤷🏾♀️
You’re so fucking stupid. I literally have an electric wheelchair because of my disabilities. How stupid and ableist can you be. Not everyone with a service dog needs a wheelchair Also. My service dog graduated from a program in the US so I really don’t give a fuck about your opinion and you can suck it 👋🏻
I’m so greatful for you educating your channel is I was once approached bye a esa team with my service dog while she was tasking because I fainted due to my chronic illness that day and my low blood sugar and she was foucus Ed on me the whole time and the dog was a distraction but was able to get her under control I gave the esa team and I gave them ada law cards and all they could just say is she’s so well behaved because she’s was well trained main reason my dog is a service dog is because my school gave me resoures to owner train her it wasent easy
the dog was out of control and shouldn't have been in the store. if it had managed to slip its collar or break away from the owner it could've really hurt Mya. it's not only illegal extremely dangerous and reckless what the other person was doing. a real service animal wouldn't act like that and a good, legitimate handler would have apologized and taken a step back in their dog's training
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. Appear professional, well-groomed and well-taken care of. Your Service Dog is a representative of both you and the Service Dog community. She should always leave everyone she comes in contact with with excellent impressions. Keep his or her nose to his or her self at all times, even if there are food, products or other interesting things readily accessible. Sniffing people, objects or food is not only rude, it’s a possible health hazard. Exceptions to this rule include Allergen Alert Dogs or other Service Dogs who rely on their nose to perform their work. However, the Service Dog’s sniffing should be directly related to task work and not random or merely “exploring.” Respond quickly and readily to the handler’s commands, cues or directions. Service Dogs should give off the appearance to anyone watching that they are highly trained and that they completely understand what’s being asked of them. Service Dogs should possess outstanding obedience skills and above-average manners and both should be readily apparent. A Service Dog’s demeanor, training and behavior should, without question, differentiate them from all but the best-trained pet dogs.
To the people complaining that HER dog isn't trained well enough in the first place if it can't handle being barked at:
Mya is still training. And she needs to be in public spaces in order to do so. It's like you're doing an exam, you're doing great, and someone just starts screaming in the middle of class about how giraffes aren't real and birds are government spies: it makes no sense in the given situation, its uncomfy, and (even just a lil bit) d i s t r a c t i n g.
And sure, maybe she could've been a tad more subtle about approaching the issue BUT I'D BE PISSED TOO! Imagine having to deal with that almost every time you go out somewhere. It'd suck! SO MUCH.
Also consider how the owner of the SD feels too. I don't have a service dog (though I qualify), and I love animals - especially dogs, but the few times I've seen aggressive dogs in public places (specifically where they shouldn't be, like no-pet areas) have caused me to shut down, have panic attacks, etc. And I know people who have even more debilitating anxiety than I do, who in a situation like this could cause serious harm to themselves and others.
Y'all gotta open your mind. This isn't just one single encounter. This happens all the time, in all parts of the world, and it can have some extreme results if not careful. And to add on to it - people who'd benefit from a SD shouldn't be denied because of the potential issues that come with another person's irresponsibility. But that happens all the time too. People have to deny getting medical equipment to help their disability because of some old man and his angry ass dog, because said angry ass dog being loud at a SD can harm the person's mental state.
Just overall, it's better, AND SAFER, to not bring animals to no-pet spaces unless they are a professional working animal or AT LEAST training.
I know this is kinda long winded and probably doesn't make sense but stuff like this stresses even me out, and I wish people were more considerate of people who do have SDs if not just illnesses alone. There's been plenty of times where I've been made fun of, ignored, etc. in a situation where I have a panic attack, which makes it worse, which means I'll likely need medical help due to injury. And I'm sick of people disrespecting other people for something they need/can't control. If you have an SD you need them for a serious reason. They aren't a free four-legged drinking buddy you take where you please because you feel like it.
Girl, your dog is well trained .I've trained my own dogs each and every one of them the dog I have now I wasn't on planning to use her at the time for my service dog with all her training I've done with her in the pass and present i do with her she is great for me and her when I have to go out in public .training does pay off yes for the safety of you, your dog, and others.
Your videos have given me so much more confidence going out with my service dog. He's PTSD reaction trained and we're training medical alert. Many places near me will just immediately say you can't have an animal in here and kick us out. These are places like grocery stores, the bank, coffee shop, all public access places. With the education you provide, I feel so much more confident going out and trying to see new places. Thank you so much for sharing you journey.
Sue them. Sometimes that's the only way companies learn. 🤷
I like the approach of not calling them a straight up liar (even though they are) and just telling them they have to better training. I like this approach. Keeps everyone respectful. Or should. He was very combative because he knew he was wrong.
Another “Fake service dog KAREN” strikes again. EYE ROLLLLLL.
I love how after the first bark Mya plotz's closer to Dom and the baby carrier
Thanks to this channel I understand how important it is to know the difference between a real service dog and those dogs whose owners abuse the system and ruin things for people that depend on service animals. Prior to seeing this channel, I had no idea that this was even an issue.
I’m so glad we were able to spread awareness and education for you. ♥️
It is SO refreshing to see a comment like this. As a SD user, I am all too familiar with situations like this, & others posted on this account. I try to spread awareness on my small pages, but it can only reach so far. I know this page makes a difference. Very slowly but surely, I have hope that progress is being made.
Poor Mya 😢 she sounds so scared. Poor girl 😢 that’s sickening that old man a veteran is laughing and clapping at her and mocking her. That’s disgusting behavior.
He really said that you were causing the disturbance because your dog caused his dog to bark uncontrollably........really?!??!? That’s like saying “it’s your fault I robbed your house because you have a lot of stuff”, I mean Whaaaaa???? 🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
i have a genuine question. first of all, i’m aware that pets in stores can be very harmful to the environment and are an inconvenience for service dog handlers. but what about the moment you step outside? aren’t SDs trained to ignore distractions? so while it’s obviously *wrong* to bring pets inside, why does the argument in these situations always relate to some sort of immense danger and “missing alerts” when the very same thing could happen in a public space where pets *are* allowed?
again, not saying people should ever bring pets/fakes indoors when it’s illegal and wrong. just feeling a bit of a disconnect.
Service Dogs can still get distracted. In another one of her videos, Mya missed a blood sugar alert because a dog was distracting her. Dogs aren't robots, so obviously they will mess up sometimes.
@@FadeMouse that’s a good point. i know that dogs can get distracted and it doesn’t make them any less valid of a service animal, but my point is that distractions happen all the time in outdoor places where pets are allowed. and in those situations, handlers aren’t allowed to start confrontations about people bringing their barky pets in public. so while i understand the concept of protecting one’s rights and enforcing the rules of an establishment, i’m confused as to why some handlers make it their main argument that their lives are in imminent danger because of an annoying pet indoors when the point of having the service animal is to assist in those situations. i will always be on the side of the handler in a situation like this but i feel like this subtopic is never touched on and people with disabilities can still be dramatic and/or petty.
@@thepixel666 I don't own a service animal, nor do I know a lot. But, service dogs don't always get distracted, as you can see in some of Dom's videos. I think if the dog distracting the SD was really bad, they would probably just leave and find somewhere else. (At least that's what I think!) I don't know all of the laws, so I can't be the one to talk very much about it. :)
@@FadeMouse yeah i agree, a lot of handlers are pushed to leave places because of bad distractions and that’s really unfair and frustrating for them. that’s why i’m glad there are rules in place to keep pets out of certain areas because i know it makes things a lot easier for the handler. i have a family member with a SDIT and i would hate for her to constantly have to deal with inconveniences that are perfectly avoidable. anyhow, thanks for the conversation and good points! i think we’re on the same page, i just wanted to spark some discussion on a detail i happen to notice a lot in these types of videos lol
I think that people who do have service animals tend to stay away from pet friendly places unless the animal is “off duty” (a service animal is never off duty but I mean when they are allowed to act like any other animal), if they are in their beginning stages of training and want to train at a pet friendly place before going into non-pet friendly places, they are socializing their new pup, or distraction training but other than that they try to stay away from places that are going to have an abundance of animals.
This happens to my friend all the time .. He has a service dog and people are always trying to approach him and he always has to tell them he is working and cannot. My friend suffered from a gunshot to the leg and the dog alerts him when he needs to sit down and the dog can miss an alert when someone approaches the dog…
I see I didn't realize that issue.
Not only is this so unnecessary for service dog handlers to have to handle this but why on earth would you put your dog in that situation not only is it dangerous for a service animal it’s dangerous for your dog if there’s a fight and no doubt stressful for your dog I love my dog id love to take her everywhere with me but I absolutely will never put her in a dangerous or unnecessarily stressful situation
That dog is not in training. If my SDIT barked, I would stop everything and give her a correction. Personally, I would have gone straight to the manager and tell them.
If my pet dog barked like that I would stop everything and correct it. I’d leave the darn park if my dog wouldn’t stop behaving like that. I’d be embarrassed. My friend asked me to walk her dog. The dog barked and barked at everyone and everything. I started letting people know the dog is not mine. It was embarrassing to not have control over the situation.
@@unapologeticallyamy9031 Dogs can sense evil people...
That’s a good idea in theory. Unfortunately not all managers are fully aware of ADA laws regarding service animals. Nor do all of them give a shit. I have literally heard managers of grocery stores come right out and say they don’t.
@@mcrchickenluvr yes. That’s why I never argue ADA law or my rights. I just report them . Let the feds deal with them.
My SDIT is used to going into Walmart and not being approached. It is probably the one place where I normally NEVER have to remind him to practice good manners. He never greets anyone and can squeeze passed all the blocked areas like a pro! This time, someone brought their ESA into the store, untethered and it ran up to us (not aggressively, just ran straight towards me), my SDIT became uneasy, got protective and hackles went up and he barked at this untethered dog. I could tell the dog was NOT aggressive, however, the behaviour was EXTREMELY inappropriate AND my SDIT was immediately corrected for HIS reaction to what he obviously perceived as a threat. I have the expectation that he handle these types of situations in a certain manner and it gave me pause and opportunity to train, but seriously! Walmart isn't a damned dog park! Train your f'ing dog for appropriate public access or leave them at home!!!! I look at every frustrating situation as an opportunity to help my SDIT learn appropriate reactions but I am just as frustrated as the next person when my dog has to be corrected all because someone else is an irresponsible pet owner.
That dog acting the way he was would have given me a panic attack.and other issues
I get that this person has a ESA but c'mon ESA aren't service dogs. Mya did well, dogs aren't robots and make mistakes. For those that are saying oh Mya shouldn't be distracted by a barking dog like I said above service dogs aren't robots she was given a correction/ verbal command and was focused afterwards. I get that some service dogs are hyper focused on their handler and that is great. Not every dog is trained like that, every dog is trained differently. I believe Mya is still in training Dom feel free to correct me on that. I love your videos ❤️ Mya is doing amazing can't wait to have my service dog in training by next summer .
I'm sorry, but the best dog into the service world is not gonna save/stop someone from supposedly passing out!🤦🏿♀️
Well I'm a bit confuse when your claiming a ESD isn't a service dog if that's the case take off SA out of the ESA .if no one can then a SA is a SA even if it's a ESA
My service animals still reacts to other dogs sometimes (she just turned 1 and we are still working on her anxiety) but if she ever forgets her manners we always leave IMMEDIATELY. He should've been responsible and left if it was really a service animal
By law until yourvdig is trained not to react to possible other services dogs it can nor be in public
@@breakingthechainsofpain1140 The law says that a service animal must be under control of the handler at all times, not that they must perfectly be non-reactive. There is a difference between a controlled reaction and uncontrolled reaction.
I'm curious why the dog is on a check chain and not a harness? In Australia all of our service dogs wear harnesses and are trained to recognise they are working when they have it on.
This is the US, laws are different.
So service dogs in the US don't have to wear one thing or anything bc for some handlers? Putting certain things on the SD is not PHYSICALLY possible. Especially since SDs do more than just guide work or helping someone in a wheelchair pick things up.
All the Service dogs I have worked with and others my girl and I have trained with would have been distracted also. They would most definitely looked which is completely understandable. They are dogs, they watch out for their safety as well as their handlers. We can't expect a dog to ignore 100% a potential threat.
I know my girl sees things differently, in a building she is very focused and outside she is a little looser with her surroundings but still aware of me. She reads the environment differently
Oh my dog is well trained by me .she could pass as a service animal no problem.
I actually have an emotional support dog, and have been scammed by those self registration service dog websites. Because I have a generalized anxiety disorder, and he helps me stay calm. My dog is well trained, and tends to ignore other dogs sometimes. Also has no reactivity issues bones in his body. We go to many places mainly places that are dog friendly, even a vegan cafe where the owners let us come in every time and treat us kindly. My dog does so good. He's older now almost 14 so gets more anxious, he does whine into a bark. I calm him down. So he'd make a great service dog, I tried sometimes and did research what I need to do. I heard they don't need certifications, licenses or anything you can certify them yourself by a lady with service dog 24/7 from every walk to the dog park or the common walking areas where dogs go. She did let dogs approach her dog but never people. She was kind of fussy with her dog. I felt sorry for her dog too, like no breaks from working and work on socializing?
Working service dogs dont get 'breaks' in the sense like what we get. They have 'down time' at home though, but are always alert to their handler. Service DOgs cnat be elderly, so your 14 yr old pup could never be a service dog. The dog cant have medical issues or disabilities. Service Animals are required to be in good health so they can task properly. No handler would allow a dog to approach their service dog.
@@CleverClover2023 He's in great health, just took him to the vet, almost 15.❤️ As for service dogs, I still feel sorry for them. Well in the future decide on a service dog, I let dogs approach them for socialization is important.❤️ I'm not like most people.
@@ryanwitwickifaddegon4291 Proper socialization is NOT letting your dog greet other random dogs. It is about teaching the dog to be neutral to the environment, other people and other dogs/animals. Not saying the dog cant be around other dogs, but it needs to be controlled and structured. Please do not get another dog until you are educated on dog training, behavior and service animals.
Yeah. Don’t ever allow your dog to greet any other dog.
Most dog fights happen from dogs greeting each other on leashes.
Aside from that you don’t know the other dog regardless of if their owner says it friendly. You do not allow that to happen. You keep your dog safe before anything else
That girl has a bad attitude! Leave the guy alone with his dog! Life is full of distractions deal with it.
I think you missed the point of ILLEGAL.
Bad attitude? I got more than that. You’d have a bad attitude too if you had to deal with these stupid, dangerous, illegal situations. If it was your LIFE on the line

See sometimes I don’t get why you do that like film people without their consent I don’t want you to get sued and they can like so you big time but you still like to see them without their consent and why can’t I just wanna know if this question I really don’t know why can your dog come in but they are dog camp
Please kindly educate yourself this I is in public .
The First Amendment protects the right to to record in public without consent and specifically, when someone is breaking the law like person with the fake service dog was doing. If he tried to sue her he would end up jailed for misrepresenting a pet as a service animal.
Her dog is a task trained service animal the other dog which is barking is not. By law her dog can be there the other dog can not.
The barking can lead her dog missing a medical alert to a medical episode which can KILL her.
The place is not pet friendly service dogs do not bark. That's why her dog can be there abd hos can not.

@@fantasygirlstudio4659 like at this point what are you trying to say like you need to fix what you have going on in your mind and what’s up with you do you need medical help they are questions I never ask in a rude way you don’t even know me or how I said it I’m axing a question from their perspective how would it work third of all you can kind of shut up because neither did I know it was supposed to happen I asked a question and I was expecting high reply kindly not with this but I can easily easily sue you for harassment because you keep on coming with me with your attitude and telling me that I am dumb and that at this is abuse stop stop for real before I really called the police and I will tell them play get a such a caring like shut up. I never asked you I asked her so shut up I asked if somebody what’s the film you would how would you add to be very upset hi that’s all I said she was kind of being rude in the video for telling another man’s dog to shut up you could assume Trash that in filming him without his consent and filming the restaurant without consent and in the hospital she filmed all those people that their consent and on top of that she got the girl number in the video so I just cut yourself before you come to me

This is a hard situation for everyone involved in this very situation! There needs to be real identification and laws for service dogs! Owners of establishments are in a horrible situation, due to lack of knowledge and laws, and are really just afraid of loosing business or doing the wrong thing! The man with the dog barking either doesn’t know the rules, or is blatantly abusing them! If he genuinely needed his dog for service, he definitely wouldn’t have been so defensive. Just a bad situation that you handled well!!!! Hopefully is fake service dog takes a giant crap 💩 on his pillow, it would be the best “service” that dog could do for him! 😉
Omg, why are people bringing their pets in?
Im not sure how you handle this but you’re so great.
How is your anxiety when there’s another dog somewhere?
Awful!
You need a doona car seat/stroller. Baby boy is getting heavy… but sooo
Precious!
That's so rediculas how people would just do that, Mya is such a good dog. You did a wonderful job teaching ur dog to be a good service animal
Can’t wait till it starts, people seriously need to stop being in pets 😶
Dominique was the man with the fake service-dog asked to leave? I did not get to watch it earlier when you posted it because I was not feeling very well I would like to know what did the manager due to this customer and his supposed service animal.
My friend’s service dog is a Golden retriever mix name Buddy .. He loves the movie Elf so he named him Buddy !!! Buddy is very sweet with everyone ❤️Because he is a service dog we can only pet him at his house not in public. He also educates others about service dogs too ..
Hi, I have a question. I was at Walmart with my grandmother, I had encountered a fake service dog. I’m not sure if it was fake but it was sniffing everything. Not looking at the handler and it was a small chihuahua and it had one of those Amazon or "Common" service dog vests that most people use, Not the custom ones. And I was making faces at her, because if there’s was a legitimate service animal, either if it was me, ( I’m trying to figure out how to get a service dog ) Or someone else, It can risk the handlers disability like seizures or any other disability. I’m no service animal handler, But I know la all the information, I told my grandmother that the dog was a fake, She told me that she disagreed. She thinks it’s legitimate! So what should I do next time I encounter a fake service dog even though I’m not a handler? I only have a ESA but I’m not stupid like other people who bring their ESAs to public places.
Edit: The chihuahua didn’t even bark at all, It was just sniffing around and not focusing on the handler.
It may have been in training I have a young chihuahua cross who is only three pounds at a year old I trained him in a sling for heart alert and am now just starting ground training he was so little I was worried get stepped on people don't always see my 30 lbs multipurpose service dog who works in tandem with him .if the handler didn't correct it could be a fake or it could be the handler is in a disassociateive state at that moment and didn't notice. Either option is highly possible and some handlers stick with the cheaper harnesses and vests because they can't afford one I know my little guy is only a year old and using an Amazon vest because I can't afford a custom one right now. They are commonly used but doesn't always equal a fake service animal
Me too...my sd is also a chi chi for cardiac alert...he didn't start ground work till he was two years old to give him time to grow, ie not get stepped on or scarfed up by a pet dog...
He was carried in a sling early on and still is if I'm having a difficult day..he will alert no matter how he he travels...I feel better on bad days if he's near my chest..
To make a long story short, I HATE it when sd owners make stupid statements...ie, if 4 are not on the floor then it not real a sd..
And yes. I also use a stroller if the travel is long...having to walk miles or better...I cant use the sling or any other carrier for long distances because of serious back problems....he can't walk those distancees due to very small size and short legs...Again I HATE it when sd handlers state...if its in a stroller, its not a real sd...
He alerts no matter how he travels and has saved my life many times...
I think alot if self righteous sd handlers need to better educate themselves before the make such broad assumptions..
Just saying
What did the manager says
I really think manager needs to have exsstensive training on ada law .
I don’t know why but everyone I hear a dog bark I get super anxious
Cause they can cause serious issues with someone like a panic attack
I follow you but my dogs are ESAs and it says on their paperwork that have access just like service animals do especially where I live at I live in Savannah Georgia so. I guess it's different in certain states.
No. It sounds like you fell for the scam websites. They claim that ESA have public access. But under federal law & state law they do not.
ESA don’t have paperwork. To legally have an ESA it has to be a note from your doctor. That reads something along the lines of “Megan requires an ESA”.
That only gives you access into no pet housing.
If you bring them in public you risk facing charges, jail time etc. that paperwork won’t hold up in a court of law.
Since ESAs are not service animals, they are not granted the same access to public places such as restaurants, malls, and other stores. Your ESA will only be allowed to enter pet-friendly public places.
Neither law covers ordinary pets or what some call "emotional support animals": animals that provide a sense of safety, companionship, and comfort to those with psychiatric or emotional disabilities or conditions. Although these animals often have therapeutic benefits, they are not individually trained to perform specific tasks for their handlers. Under the ADA and Georgia law, owners of public accommodations are not required to allow emotional support animals, only service animals.
Quoted from link below. For Georgia state laws.
www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/georgia-laws-on-service-dogs-and-emotional-support-animals.html
Federal Law doesn't change state to state. ESA pets do NOT have public access rights and are NOT service animals. Can't believe that you are that stupid to fall for a scam lol. Its is a criminal misdemeano0r to bring a pet into a non pet friendly store. You risk jail time, fines and in some states they can take your pet away and euthanize them.
Could u maybe start putting captions? As someone with audio processing issues its so hard to hear what people are saying over the background noises....
The people in this comment section is 🥴🥴 let me break this down for ya:
(1) service animals should NOT bark or cause disturbances. One or two boofs isn’t the end of the world.
(2) her dog is trained. Seriously look at any of her videos, her dog is trained 😂
(3) when your life depends on an animal that can be distracted and have off days, you can speak on this issue. If you don’t, keep your opinion to yourself. You have NO idea what we go through when we depend on these animals to survive. They aren’t an accessory. They aren’t wanted. They are NEEDED. smdh people.
TH-cam told me to watch this again lol Sitting listening to you handle the situation is amazing! If it was me I'd fumble over all my words and then be up all night replaying it over and over thinking of everything I should have said...
I actually said leave it to my SDiT with you once and maybe use a tad bit longer leash but I am no professional
She’s off leash trained. We use the short traffic lead so if she’s working off leash she doesn’t trip on it or get tangled up. I also don’t have to worry about fainting and getting tangled
Why do I now wanna jump through the screen with popcorn and watch real life action
Don't you just love people bringing their pets into environments they shouldn't belong guys emotional support animals are not service dogs emotional support animals are for home service dogs are for public learn the difference please
These comments do not pass the vibe check. This country has very little laws that protect disabled people. Our dogs are our Life Lines. It is not as simple as picking a dog out, throwing a vest on the dog, and BOMB its a service animal. It takes years!
You do know that some stores allow ESA too , and you can train a ESA too i know
Wrong! ESA pets are only allowed in pet friendly stores. They are NOT allowed in non pet friendly stores. Yes, ESA pets can have basic training, but they are not task trained to help their handler with a disability.

@pocahontas1673 sorry what state do you live in?
@@pocahontas1673 Nope. ESA pets have no public access rights. They are not service dogs. What you are doing is illegal and putting real service dogs and the public at risk.

There was a guy in my Walmart he had his German shepherd ride on the scooter with him and it’s jump off to greet people and he’d have the leash in his hand but he’d let go of it to greet people as they rode by.
im going to be honest, can't blame you for it. maybe to some sounded like an argument but your dog is your lifeline basically. if mine did that i do whatever was needed to get them under control. if that failed at that point. i be pulling them from public access to work on issues and be leaving. dont matter if his is fake, esa or legit, its not trained properly or not at all and is dog reactive. he needs to be responsible. what he did including trying to blame you for anything but taking the blame himself, is not responsible at all.
100% the truth
Where did u get Mya's vest and what kind is it, thinking about getting one for my SD
It's from Amazon
I swear this guy just proved to me again why I like animals more than humans. So are a lot of the comments here. This guy was literally breaking a federal law. ESA’s don’t have public access. It isn’t hard to educate yourselves on these things. Google, even as biased as it can be, can actually be a good thing at times. His dog barking like crazy could’ve put Dom in serious danger. Or any other SD handler for that matter. SD’s can have their off days yes. I didn’t see that here. I saw Dom keep her under control and Mya did great. But that guy was being an asshole.
As RuPaul says "The Shade Of It All!"
Boy I would've cursed the shit out of everyone of those people
No one would pay you any attention other than telling you to get the hell out. You Karens need some social training more than this lady's dog
One thing I'm finding common is that those complaining about other dogs losing focus also have legit service dogs losing focus. Wouldn't that be the same as the barking dog losing focus? I'm new to this SD world. 😂
No because service dogs do not bark they are trained to focus on their owner.
However an untrained service dig can distract and injure a reward service dig putting both disabled owner and service dog in danger.
It's illegal to take a non service dog into non pet friendly places for a reason.

Barking is a sure fire way to spot a fake.
@@leejennifercorlewayres9193 Quoted from the ADA.
Service dogs must be under control.
Under control also means that a service animal should not be allowed to bark repeatedly in a lecture hall, theater, library, or other quiet place. However, if a dog barks just once, or barks because someone has provoked it, this would not mean that the dog is out of control. However if the dog barks as in related to a task that is another acception.
The dog that was barking was not a service dog.
@@breakingthechainsofpain1140 Great, so how do you teach them not to do those behaviors? I have multiple disabilities and am training a dog right now.
you are amazing and mya is so good.
“ItS YoUR PeRfuMe” they should’ve just kicked him out right there.
Ahhhhhh shaaaaaat ap
as a boxer handler, this makes me sad to see. I get that boxers are huge people-pleasers and always want to be with you (hence why I'll be sticking with the breed for my next SD), but leave them at home. ESPECIALLY when its a breed as high-drive as a boxer that's clearly untrained.
I just finished watching it. That is not ok. That dog barked so many times 🙄. How are you feeling after the encounter?
I’m okay. My Anxiety was a little high for a while. I’m good now
@@ServiceDogPaws that is great
@@ServiceDogPaws what were the people saying behind you? I could not hear it
Maybe the dog was warning you that it’s owner is a biter 😉
So infuriating when people bring fake service dogs into stores and they bark at legit service dogs, the only time my service dog will ever bark while working or while in a public place is if she’s alerted me multiple times and I’m not taking notice or if I’m unconscious and she’s trying to get help
Looking at this caused my anxiety 😥 to go up. My 🫀 almost stop beating when she said: “If” I pass out 😜. Girl- , your stress, IS making- me vomit 🤢 and pass-out. 🙄.
Her fainting is do to a life threatening chronic illness her sog alerts too.
By law her dog is allowed there. The man with his barking dog is not. His is not even a service dog.
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.
Appear professional, well-groomed and well-taken care of. Your Service Dog is a representative of both you and the Service Dog community. She should always leave everyone she comes in contact with with excellent impressions.
Keep his or her nose to his or her self at all times, even if there are food, products or other interesting things readily accessible. Sniffing people, objects or food is not only rude, it’s a possible health hazard. Exceptions to this rule include Allergen Alert Dogs or other Service Dogs who rely on their nose to perform their work. However, the Service Dog’s sniffing should be directly related to task work and not random or merely “exploring.”
Respond quickly and readily to the handler’s commands, cues or directions. Service Dogs should give off the appearance to anyone watching that they are highly trained and that they completely understand what’s being asked of them. Service Dogs should possess outstanding obedience skills and above-average manners and both should be readily apparent. A Service Dog’s demeanor, training and behavior should, without question, differentiate them from all but the best-trained pet dogs.
Must be really annoying coming across people with fake service animals all the time. Wish more people are more educated in the differences between service animals, emotional support, and therapy dogs. Keep educating and advocating Dom. Thank you for all that you do. 😊
For real. That dog in the pink getup is a spaz
@@Jacob-mo7yw thats her dog?
What would you do if a dog wanted to attack maya ? Knock on wood, That would be so sad because maya wouldn’t know what to do.
Whatever I had to do

I don’t hear the “bitchiness” that people say in some of these style videos I do see a brave woman taking a stand to spread awareness of what is right and wrong LEGALLY/FEDERALLY and I can’t Thankyou enough for educating me on service animals in every aspect and I also Thankyou for being the brave woman you are ! Your an inspiration girl 🥰🥰 btw atlas looked so cute in the beginning in his car seat he looked so sleepy 😍💕
that dog distracted my sdit through the computer lmao i had to put him back down stay
You know what mya did really good since dogs were barking you told her leave it and she listened🐶. You spoke up and educated people by telling the person that there dog cant distract a service animal. Atlas was so cute in his car seat!
Good for Austin standing up for you with those other guys. Y'all are very calm and very willing to educate. I love y'all
Calm? Seriously? This lady flipped out and turned into the biggest Karen ever. If she keeps this behavior up it will get corrected by someone someday and it likely won't be pretty.
I love how she looks at you and wags that tail.
I don't know why people think it's ok to bring untrained dogs to places even if they claim it's a sd it needs to be trained the fakes in my area are thick as fleas now and I've paid a high price for people's stupidity so much now my sd's training is suffering I was close to having her completely trained now so many things are falling back and now she's over sensitized to other dogs coming to her and barking and I can't get her to stop if you have any training tips or a trainer you can recommend me plz do I need help so badly I've spent to much time training her for it to just be ruined :(
“I just don’t need a commotion” and I don’t want to die today ma’am Bc people don’t know how to follow or enforce rules
I wanna find that person's Facebook live post so we can correct them. And then tag you
LOL yes
Love your videos thank you so much for posting
30th like! Where’s the early squad at??? :D
36th :D
Sorry, but if you're not blind, deaf, or in a wheelchair KEEP YOUR PETS HOME!
If your heart is racing 200 bpm and you need a dog to tell you to sit down, or you're a diabetic (like myself) and need a dog to tell you (which I highly doubt) that you took to much insulin... You have no business being in public with, or without a dog🤷🏾♀️
You’re so fucking stupid.
I literally have an electric wheelchair because of my disabilities. How stupid and ableist can you be. Not everyone with a service dog needs a wheelchair
Also. My service dog graduated from a program in the US so I really don’t give a fuck about your opinion and you can suck it 👋🏻
I missed it.
I’m so greatful for you educating your channel is I was once approached bye a esa team with my service dog while she was tasking because I fainted due to my chronic illness that day and my low blood sugar and she was foucus Ed on me the whole time and the dog was a distraction but was able to get her under control I gave the esa team and I gave them ada law cards and all they could just say is she’s so well behaved because she’s was well trained main reason my dog is a service dog is because my school gave me resoures to owner train her it wasent easy
i dont understands whats the problem? youre just tryna educate?
the dog was out of control and shouldn't have been in the store. if it had managed to slip its collar or break away from the owner it could've really hurt Mya. it's not only illegal extremely dangerous and reckless what the other person was doing. a real service animal wouldn't act like that and a good, legitimate handler would have apologized and taken a step back in their dog's training

What were the people behind her saying?
I'm sorry this happens to you Dom. These people need to learn to control their dogs.
I’m early
Good job Dominique and Maya
