- • Fainting Without Warni...
This video is from October 2, 2020.
I do not always feel the syncope (Fainting) coming on. Sometimes it's up to the people around me to see it and help me get safe too.
Update Years Later.
No, I am no longer with my ex husband. Yes, he beat me daily. Strangling me unconscious, holding me upside down out of windows saying he was going to drop me and kill me, beating me any time I tried to leave and more.
Years later, I'm remarried to one of my close childhood friends I've known for over 10 years. We've been married almost a year now. And we are currently expecting baby #2 (our first together). Liam, my son in the video, is so excited to be a big brother. I have a loving husband who helps me daily with my medical. He helps me set up my IV bags for my infusions 6 days a week. He helps me when my blood pressure is bottomed out and I'm tachycardic.
I have Dysautonomia which is Autonomic Nervous System Dysfunction. My brain sends the wrong signals to my body. So my blood pressure bottoms out, my heart can go up to 180bpm from standing and walking around. That's what causes the fainting. And there's a video somewhere on my channel of me being diagnosed. I have PTSD as well. (Obviously).
I currently have Max. He's getting ready to retire. And I have a new puppy that is training to take his place.
So I hope everyone can take some time to check out my more recent videos. And where I am at now in my life.
Thank you all for the support. I love you guys! And over the years, I have learned how to cope better with my anxiety in public and how I react. So please don't hold this against me.
But I am in a way better place now than before..❤️
I am sorry that happened to you, i'm glad you're in a better place now.
I’m sorry you had to go through that!! Thank God you got out of that situation and are being blessed with a good man now to take care of you.
this is my favorite prank video
omg! i remember watching you years ago! so happy to see this absolutely great update!
@@duckymomo360 it’s not a prank
Legends say he's still eating them raspberries today.
Danny Houston 😂😂😂😂😂
Come on now, everyone knows that's just a tale parents use to frighten misbehaving children
Lol
husband: *checks on wife while eating rasberries*
aka jubitor lol
If you want to eat something you eat something.

I didn’t know until a day or two ago about disrupting a service dog. I’ve never seen one in person so I’m glad I know now before the possibility of making a mistake.
Perry Rants yes there is. don’t disturb a working dog.
thank you so much.
@@jrzshor its federal law not to disturb or distract a working service dog, the only two questions you can ask someone with a service dog is "is that a service dog?" and "what tricks can it do?" Search it up before assuming things.
Nah it's sweet he's watching her till she wakes up and checks on her and he's eating raspberries and feeding it to the baby
i wanna be like take it easy, but then i think to myself that your'e not completely wrong, and are saying it out of concern for the child
Maariya Nr Well the baby will develop resistance to germs and stuff
Maariya Nr Yes... do you know how much germs are in unwashed food? And store fruits are usually not washed.
Umm Read The Description..... He Is Not So Sweet
Me: I feel sorry for the things she goes through
Her husband: *casually eats while wife is passed out*
reasterpig Haha it’s so funny how use to it he is... idek if funny is the right word?
Gabriella Eilders Then why would you type it?
Well while she is unconscious there is not much he can do, so just waiting and watching is fine
Adam Wiegand WRONG
Adam Wiegand agreed
A couple of years ago I tried to pet a service dog and the owner asked very politely not to because the dog is working. Now I know not to engage any service animal (I still look at them and smile to myself because they're cute). I'm grateful that I was educated in that gentle way because I truly didn't know, and I believe most people don't know either until they are educated about it.
I just wanted to give you some feedback and raise your awareness that there is a better way to interact with people and if possible you could strive for that better way. I believe you could spare both yourself and others the emotional stress that comes with unreasonably harsh reactions. If you want to be understood, first understand others.
Marisa Lauren THIS
Marisa Lauren it writes service dog or something on the back idk how to get the idea to pet it,maybe its not so obvious in america?
Marisa Lauren she has crazy anxiety. She can’t help it
Marisa Lauren you. I like you. You very nice. You good.
Marisa Lauren ur so helpful
I saw a service dog I walked over and kindly waited for her to see me I asked is he on duty? She said no I kindly asked can I pet your dog she said yes she made him do a trick she was nice 👍🏻
Thank u for being kind and sensible when u ask to pet a service dog
You are actually sensible and know how to act if you want to see a service dog. Thank you.
...
Last time I walked up to a lady with a service dog I was
Like is your dog on duty? And the next ting I see is The Lady fainting
Gabrielle Payer that's the nice thing to do!
My theater teacher has a service dog, and she lets us touch him, but you MUST ask before doing so
my school has a couple therapy dogs, one of them the theatre/english teacher's. i get that its very different, therapy dogs and service dogs, though they both are "professionals" in a way. the dogs come in on certain days, theyre so sweet, and youre allowed to pet them as long as theres not class or something. its really helpful to have therapy dogs in school! there are a lot of kids with anxiety, disorders, some kids on the autism spectrum, and the therapy dogs are great. teachers can even request to have them present in their room for a class if there are some kids who need that.
LilCutie 43 don't be cool
LilCutie 43 yea once I saw a lady with a service dog and some kid went up and started roughly petting it
Lol ask the dog if he wants to be touched
*notices wife faint*
Starts eating rasberrys lol
That's messed up don't say that
Sorry didn't watch full video #jumpingtoconclusions
Ompharus xD
IKR
Wow
I think what puts me off the most is the accusatory language and tone.
A toddler will never ignore your animal... Like that's just never going to happen, and they were walking on by and you use phrases like "the distraction they're TRYING to cause... " No one is TRYING to hurt you or put you in danger, nobody knows the nuances of service animals unless you have one, I believes most people would understand if you explained it BEFORE you jump down peoples throats and putting everyone on blast later on youtube EVEN WHEN THEY RESPECTFULLY APOLOGIZE AND MOVE ON.
You act as if everyone's doing it out of nothing but pure spite for you and that's a really unfortunate way of going about your life.
Kaleb H she can use tht tone if she wants to cause clearly they see tht on the dogs vest it says 'SERVICE DOG' so they were being disrespectful and didnt care about her being disabled
Nadira McMichael toddler's can't read.
Kaleb H But the parents stopped the buggy
Toastie but the parents can
She may be disabled but that doesn't make it ok for her to talk to people like that kaleb H
I never knew that talking to a service dog was illegal. Thank you for teaching me that.
Heywood Jablome most people don’t know that, but these people expect everyone on earth to know not to look at service dogs, and then get mad and snap on them and cause a scene when someone goes ‘oh look at that dog’ from 10 feet away.
Heywood Jablome right me neither
It's not ILLEGAL. It's just poor judgement and possibly dangerous to the handler.
Baaz 〰 i agree i also didn't know u can't look at them and as i do respect the service dogs and owners i find it annoying when they expect everyone to know all the rules and give someone attitude
Heywood Jablome me either
Her husband has to wait until her dogs ends his job. My friend has epilepsy and is weird but i can’t do anything until her dogs ends
caythlin100 my sister has epilepsy. Thats why i dont sleep in the same bed as her because she could wet herself and have a seizure
Sharing a bed with your sister is pretty strange anyways
sharing a bed with your sister isnt strange -_-
Nurie x sometimes I sleep with my sister. When my bed is to messy 🤷🏻♀️
caythlin100 lmaoooooo why bother cleaning when u got ur sisters bed😂😂😂
Help my wife? Eat raspberries? Help my wife? Eat raspberries?
*eats raspberries*
Bethanie The Jammer sad
Bethanie The Jammer times
She doesn’t need help. There’s nothing he can do anyways
Bethanie The Jammer he is supposed to just stay there
Her husband is so funny. She's just passed out and his eating casually.
He's used to it and watching over her
TheLeapingViper it's probably because it happens so much sadly
Skinny Bootyme no she actually has a condition and needs a service dog
TheLeapingViper 100th like lol
Skinny Bootyme why would she need a SERVICE DOG If she’s faking something pretty damn serious? I need to know because I’m confused.
I was taking the public bus to school one day and this guy I'm assuming was a veteran because he was wearing a military hat came onto the bus with his service dog. Immediately when his dog came on he laid his face on my legs and started licking my hands, I also have ptsd and in the process of getting a service dog but it was just amazing how a dog can sense it..
Aww that’s sweet and yea it’s amazing how they can just tell and amazing how they are trained.
The service dog shouldnt behave like that and I hope the owner corrected/redirected his dog afterwards. I understand it may seem cute but service dogs arent therapy dogs. They help 1 individual in need. I had a similar situation where a service dog kept sniffing my legs (prob bc of my dogs smell) and I got triggered by it..
Bruh her husband...😂
Just chillin’ with the raspberries
yea idk what she was so mad over, like since you fainted i need to stop living for a while? like damn hes a saint for being so pacient and loving but its not like he can do much else let the man have his snack
nicholas johnson she wasn't mad about it tho, she thought it was funny that's why she said "XD"
ok obviously youve never been around pissed off women lol yea thats kinda what they do, either that or shes actually a bunch of elves in a tremch coat and im wrong
nicholas johnson She wasn't mad tho. There's nothing he can do in that moment and they both know that. She wasn't being passive aggressive with that "XD", it was actually funny to her when she saw it. Idk what kind of women you've been around but you probably need better company
**husband eats rasberries** 😂❤️
Snowy spirits and stuff Neko this is no laughing matter this lady has POTS PTSD and others
Me wolf Games bruh it hard not laugh if she literally put down oh and my husband is eating raspberry XD
Mr wolf Games someone is triggered
me as a husband tbh
I really don’t get why people think she’s over reacting. A service dog is there to protect its owner and it can’t do that if it’s being distracted. And the service dog is the one that warns her. So she does need it. Great job max😊
Taylor's Life a lot of people probably don't know that you cant talk to service dogs she could've said it friendlier instead of acting like she told the the mom once before.
And she covered op the signs that tells other people that the dog is a service dog I understand that's what he had to do but you need to see it from another perspective. You're just walking around and you see a dog between a person's legs you don't know that he's a service dog and you think she is holding on to the dog so he can not get away
Neither to say is a walmart in the us, literraly everything can distract the dog, he can be the best trained dog, but his a dog not a machine its most likely to be distracted by tiny little things
Taylor's Life I know right. I feel bad for all the people with service dogs. And I feel really bad for her because she has to faint in public a lot and she has really bad anxiety and people keep distracting her service dog
i was also going to point this out. he is laying between your legs and your legs are blocking the 'service dog' letters on the sides of his shirt.
this woman looks like a real joy to be around lol
This commenter clearly is an ableist discriminating biggot who is uneducated on the ADA and on service digs as well as chronic illnesses.
Just a guess but I think your husband likes raspberries....
C Cox LOL
Just a guess but l think her husband cant take her shit and stay far way from her everytime they go to walmart...
C Cox I don’t think she has onr
C Cox maybe that’s her service husband, “tries to talk to a girl” STOP- please don’t talk to my service man
Roasted Stingray what?
raspberries are important
And they're fantastic
#Anaphylaxistothem :'(
Ahhh we have the same name and it’s spelt the same too 😂 I don’t see people spelt the same as mine very often
he's been through this before
wait, observe, react
it's not
freak out and call emergency everytime
he knows his wives condition.
Makenzie Is Dying I was dying when he kept eating the raspberry
I don't think she was overreacting as people are saying. She felt she was going to pass out and Max needed to be alert to signal her to lay down or she could of hit her head on the metal bench or something could of happened to harm her. People also need to learn to leave service dogs alone unless they approach the owner and ask. It doesn't matter if its a child or an adult they must learn at some point and her safety was at hand here so it's good she confronted the mom.
She confronted a Mom who told her KID "look a doggy". She didn't talk to the DOG nor to the dog's human, she talked to her kid.
Litty Rose EXACTLY
Exactly
Sure but saying look a doggy teaches the kid to acknowledge the dog who is working.
If the title isn’t enough to tell you that she’s over reaction I have no clue what will
You don’t need to yell at kids for being excited to see a dog I know it’s bad for the the distraction but if they make eye contact and say puppy it’s not something to yell at the parent for and criticize her parenting
I agree, I believe service dogs are absolutely useful and a good thing but the general public doesn't know what to do in those situations. I am all for people having them but if someone yelled at my kid for just looking at it and saying doggy then they will have a problem.
Joe Conley Yes she does. Those parents need to be educated, and not left to go distract some other service dog and have someone get really hurt because of it.
Joe Conley She did not yell plus she’s right the kid should not have done that the kid basically distracted her dog and her dog wouldn’t know what to do when she passed out the polite thing to do is to see a cute service dog ignore it and talk about it privately with your guardian or babysitter
It's to much if you can't even look at the dog when you pass it by, i mean my eyes does their own thing
Golden Freeza you can obviously take a glance but don’t stare a a service animal my goodness.
Coincidentally I just had a woman visit my brownie group (girl scouts In the uk) and she was completely deaf right her name was name Jane and her dog was called India right. And she was talking about her experiences and was saying that on the jacket there's a picture of a hand and one of the girls said if it was to say not to pet the dog (she's super good at lip reading ) right right and she was like nah (she also had speach therapy as a child) and said as long as you ask it's completely fine and its rare for her to say no (May be personal preference) but the fact was that this woman who visited lots of groups and made talks about this thing always let her dog off the lead to meet everyone and she says that she makes good friends through having the dog with her and it's just a massive contrast of meeting Jane and seeing this woman telling parents to tell their child not to look at an adorable dog in a place which is weird for them like what about a child who needs to take their service dog to school will none of the other children be allowed to look at the dog at all? I understand them distracting the dog but most people ask to touch a dog and you should be replying politely whether it's appropriate or not but you should not snapping at children to not even look at your dog like wtf
Probably because in your situation the dog wasn't currently "working". The dog wasn't doing any assigned task so it was okay to pet the dog.
In THIS situation the dog was trying to do his work, and if he get a distracted then the woman wouldn't have gotten the help she needed from her dog.
Right right
omg that's the best reply to anything controversial ever posted just point out my typing habits good job there maybe also point out my lack of grammar while you're at it?
FailureBreakfast ihhig
Also she has anxiety she can’t help it if she snaps at people because more or less she will start screaming and will pass out
the kids just said puppy, don't overreact on children and they were walking away
Jack Bixby it's not over reacting
It is. With all the discractions in a store a few kids saying "puppy" isn't going to be the thing that distracts the dog. Also the dog doesn't know "puppy" means someone is looking at him. He doesn't know what puppy means. Get a grip.
Right? She's crazy. I can't even imagine how she is with her own child
She isn’t overreacting. Small comments like that can really affect people like her. It’s not something to take lightly.
Light breezes, grocery stores, children looking at puppies and fellow humans within 50 ft also affect people like her. The prognosis is overreacting. I'm sorry that she has you duped.
She was pretty polite all said. She corrected the woman and educated her swiftly. I don't think I'd have had that level of coherence
Dembai if she was swiftly oh man i should be pure and sweet sweet honey
Dembai she needs to change her tone though.
Dembai it's the tone she used
The tone needs a little work tho
Kιмσcнι Kιиg so what if she would had died
Just gonna make up what I wish I was reading in these comments. Magic!
1) “You’re overreacting” ➡️ I’m sorry you feel pain and/or anxiety - I can’t imagine what you feel. You’re brave to keep doing what you can to live your everyday life on your terms. I’m glad you have resources and a loving husband and service dog to keep you going. Thank you for sharing with and teaching us about just this small part of your life so we can be more considerate of the ways we can be sweet and helpful like that Walmart employee and your husband. We might be the lone voice of reason among others who are freaking out.
2) “They’re just kids” ➡️ You probably have to repeat yourself a lot but it’s good that you asked the parents to keep moving and teach their kids how service animals are different from regular pets when we see them in public.
3) “You should stay home” ➡️ Good for you. Do the best you can with what you got! If you can walk, walk. If you can roll, roll. If you can laugh, laugh. If you can wait patiently, eat raspberries!! The best thing in caring for others in caring well for yourself, too.
“I feel sorry for the dog” ➡️ What a beautiful, helpful dog. Dogs have been helpers longer than any one of us has been alive. We have service animals because we noticed that DOGS started to alert US to neurological and other symptoms of oncoming flares, seizures, or fainting. This dog is clearly loved and well-cared-for. Blessings.
Alexis Williams
Bro will you be my best friend?
Aph/Aaron's#1Fan Lily Drawing/Writing and Singing this needs to be pinned
Alexis Williams aren't we a little snowflake who can't handle words
Alexis Williams For those of you defending this lady’s behavior, here’s something to think about.
In this specific case, the conflict/issue arose from a mother and her toddler *looking* at the service animal. Note however, not from an action of petting, calling, or distracting the animal under question.
That active observation of the dog is what leads the owner of the service animal to “educate” the lady and her child, and imply that they are to move on.
In this SPECIFIC case and situation, the owner of the service animal is in the wrong.
At the time of the owners intervention, the lady and her child were not violating any established laws surrounding service animals and treatment of them. If they had attempted to call the animal towards them, feed it, or intentionally distract it in any significant manner, they would have legally been in the wrong. However, they had not done anything of the sort, and therefore did not warrant a reprimand nor correction.
It is also worth noting, the very presence of the service animal counters its owners own concerns. A service animal in a public area will be looked at. Whether through glances, stares, peeks, or etc, it will happen. It would be impossible to force everyone and anyone around the animal not to even so much as look at the animal. This is a reason why service animals undergo training, and if the animal can be distracted from its duty by the momentary observation from a couple individuals, it should not be actively servicing an individual with a serious health issue. The very fact that it is servicing such an individual, shows that the distributers and trainers of the animal felt it was qualified to sufficiently carry out its training. This would thus make any concerns of the animal becoming distracted through slight observation naught but paranoia.
The owner was clearly in physical distress, and she likely became frustrated and vented her emotions, nothing more. A wrong thing to do, especially under the guise of “education”, but understandable.
And please remember, I am not arguing against the principles behind distracting a service dog, but rather her actions in this one incident.
James C: I agree mostly with what you're saying. It's important to try to be understanding if you have a service animal - especially a super cute one.
I also understand that "this lady's behavior" is the result of a situation that I don't experience. There is nothing wrong with emotions; they are the fuel for our thoughts and behaviors. If you don't have them and if you aren't influenced by them, congratulations, you must be Vulcan and you have my respect. If someone lashes out at me, however, as some of the other commenters on this post have, I might feel hurt but I can also try to understand why and make decisions based on what I believe to be most important. If someone is in pain, whether it's made up or due to weak-mindedness, as Gary Miller has stated, I can do what I can to be gentle just like I'd want someone to be with me if they couldn't understand what I'm going through.
So if this woman got impatient after the many moments of frustration she experienced that day, the point I disagree with you on is that I think it's ok to vent, to show your frustration, and to say something. Others can choose their own reactions to that. On my better days, I hope I'll try to be more understanding if it's ever me distracting a service dog that is cleared to serve but also still getting the hang of things.
Omg her husband was sitting there and moved her arm and seen her passed out..Walked over to the cart and ate RasBerries XD
Because he knows shes ok.wtf is even wrong with her anyways
Townie 7177 she has a thing called pots where basically she passes out because her heart doesn’t pump blood right and she also has ptsd
Justin Fuller ohh .thanks

gamer girl He did the best thing for, wait, watch, protect and she will pull out of it. He seems to know that well. I have a seizure dog and he'd be fired if someone saying about him or to him.
Not many people know that it illegal, dog lovers see a dog and it is natural for them to talk to the dog, you could have been nicer explaining this the woman and baby....I understand you knew what was going to happen but the woman did not, she does not know what your disability is
Just me Just me a dig with a service vest means theyre on the job and if she dosent see that then sounds like a her problem
Exactly and what exactly is the dog supposed to be doing for her? Comfort? A quick trip to Walmart? Lady you might as well stayed home instead of dragging the dog across the hot pavement twice and cleaning the Walmart floors with your body.
ji jiji she passes out and she needs the dog to warn her before it happens... You wouldnt tell someone with a wheel chair to to just stay home bc roudy kids woldnt stop pointing would you ?
piercethevictard a wheelchair is an inanimate object a dog is a living being. Just to clarify because I’m sure what you’re getting at...
Max can detect when she's close to passing out, so he let's her know she needs to get to a safe place so she won't hurt herself by falling.
I think on Max’s service dog badge it should also say do not distract. It might help you in public but idk anything or if you can even do that lol
It says “do not pet” right under “service dog”
@@raytoroisagod889 do not pet don't mean distract, yes petting can be distracting but thats not verbal, talking or even trying to feed/play with the dog is distracting, which should have on it "do not distract" or "working dog" along with service, and most owners keep it on when their dog is working, and take it off when not...... being when they let their dog play or something or even at home.
I agree
It’s so cute seeing you give Max all that love while he’s working, such a beautiful bond you guys have🥺❤️
If that was my husband I would be like. Dude. What the heck man.
Share with me.
Tru
Rainbow Cat SAME XD
Same thought
Why? He's so used to her acting he's contemplating why one night of mediocre sex was worth 18 years of his life, and pretending that her "fainting" isn't the biggest load of bullshit he's ever heard. That kid turns 18 and he will be half way across the world...
Maybe you should try to politely teach people rather than just snapping at them? I swear, in all of these videos, it's your dog that creates more anxiety for you than anything else. If you left your dog at home, no one would even second glance you. Your dog probably gets more distracted by your ranting that he does by random people glancing at him. And before anyone snaps at me, I have severe anxiety and frequently pass out. I just don't need a dog to tell me when it's about to happen. Fainting really isn't like it's shown to be in the movies. It'll even mess with your vision and hearing before your legs give out and you're out cold. Your body should be giving you sufficient warning...
Cade Grimm her body may do that but max is able to help predict so she does not injure herself from fainting and falling on the ground and she is ok with people commenting on her dog just not people that stop and do stuff that would distract max
Without him she could get hurt people just need to be informed although you do have a point she could be nice but she very anxious so she snaps back before thinking it through I myself have experienced an attack while at a public place right when we got home I yelled at my parents for ater and to get the dog in my mind I thought it would help they were trying to talk to me and I could handle it so please be nice and try to understand others have a great day 😁
Cade Grimm god people are really fuckin dumb nowadays
Cade Grimm not everyone is sweet and nice like you. That’s just her chatacter
I literally love you, you are 100% right!!
All these people saying you're overreacting seem to have very little understanding of what it's like to be disabled. I'm so sorry this happens to you and your dog, and I believe you.
I understand how shit it is to be disabled. But she is overreacting
destin succ i don’t like to say this but you are an idiot my good sir, she is not overreacting she is trying not to faint on a floor.
Admin_Hacker Pro Gamer she might not be overreacting, but she clearly could've used a different approach. They probably didn't know about her condition and didn't see that it's a service dog.
So what, being disabled doesn't mean you get to disrespect and give an attitude to everyone you Interact with. Grow up and don't go outside if you can't handle it.
IcedHooligan same to you.
I dont understand why people do not read his vest. It specifically says do not pet nor distract the dog while he's at work. Those actions may be fatal to the owner. Smh.
To Service Dog Paws:
I really enjoy your videos. Its amazing how you dont get mad at those people and snap at them. I love how respectful and patient you are. Max does an amazing job.
Ariana Vazquez you do realize that it's not that easy to read it for everyone and for example at 3:10 you literally can't see the text because of her legs and most people aren't used to seeing services dog and may not even know about it being illegal. But that being said i do not kondom talking to services dogs or any other dogs that you don't know but i live in Finnland so nobody talks to strangers either way.
It only says DO NOT PET thats all
ender perez It says "Service Dog" on it.
ezloh lmao. & that makes you a better person. How?
Ariana Vazquez where did i say ima better person u fucken idiot
They’re just kids, you’re not going to send a toddler to jail.
Mean Yeen The kids weren't the problem, the mother was. She was talking to the mother, not the kids
The mother was telling the kids to look at the puppy. It’s illegal and distracting
It's not illegal to pet, talk, or look at a service dog. That came straight from a District Attorneys mouth when I posed that question to him. However, if you distract the service dog from doing it's job to the point where the owner has harm come to them because of the distraction then you can be held civilly liable and subjected to pay damages to the owner if found negligent by a judge in civil court. There is a difference between a civil and criminal act. Talking to, acknowledging, looking at or petting a service dog is not a criminal act. However people should respect the right of the owner and the duties of the animal. Service dogs are a part of what makes this world a better place for people with disabilities and they should be treated as such. There is legislation being pushed forward on the federal level to have service dogs certified and licensed. In addition future guidelines and laws will outline the training for these anamils which will include what certifications individuals and facilities must have before they are allowed to train service animals. I hope this is helpful.
In Alabama, if you are warned that your behavior is distracting to the dog (This includes talking or petting the dog) and you CONTINUE to do so, it is illegal.
Joseph Kingston Plummer it's illegal to distract them which is including talking petting and looking at the dog
You.sould never pet or call to a service dog because no matter what it will be very distracting
it is illegal to distract the dog in any way. do some research before making a claim like that.
lani. wdw it’s actually not so stop saying what other people say
I’m sorry you have to deal with this but this was super informative to see and gives me such a huge appreciation for service animals. Thanks for posting your struggles to help others
it’s amazing how good of companions dogs are and how well they react to things like that! max is a beautiful dog with a beautiful personality as well as you!
And of course it's the "norm" for chase so he'll eat while your down. Lol, love how you pointed that out. Have to find some humor in our everyday chronic living.
Oh yeah. he is used to it. So he just does what he does unless I fall and hit my head. He can't move me then but he sits by me and I'll come to with him next me etc. Any other time he just waits until I come to. It's all he can do.
Lol your husband accidentally coughs and your dog looks at him. At that point it's a divorce right?
Or atleast call the police because distracting the dog is illegal
lol
As a mother with anxiety and an observant toddler, I would hope that someone bringing a service dog into a store would be patient enough with us to not talk down to us if my kid was to start babbling to me about seeing a doggy or if I stopped in the general area to explain to my kid WHY he can't go pet that doggy.
While I know not to distract a service animal, he doesn't see them often enough to understand the difference between a dog like max, and our neighbor's sweet old golden who always wants to say hello. I'd love to teach him to know better, but I hope I don't come across someone like this.
I don't think she'd mind someone using it as an education opportunity. The problem is when parents don't stop their kids, or actively encourage them.
peepslostsheep Agreed. The problem here wasn't necessarily the children but it was the parents. The kid didn't really seem to be babbling about the dog
The kid didn’t even care
Elizabeth G very well said
I had no idea you aren't supposed to interact with them & to be honest, we usually approach people with service dogs & ask if we can pet them (we've never been told no & ive never seen a sign that says not to). More often than not we don't have to ask. My kids get scared & the person with the dog will say "oh, he/she is very friendly, come say hi". My son was bit as a toddler & my kids were TERRIFIED of dogs, so service dogs are the perfect animals to break the ice with because they're so well trained.
That dog is super sweet, and the way you deal with these situations is amazing. Thank you for sharing this, I wouldn't have known that it's not good to try to pet or distract a service dog. This is teaching people on how to behave when they see something like this. That's great!
Oh my god I don't understand why people don't get some extra information before commenting and think the dog won't ever get distracted, for God's sake, it's like a soldier, it has feelings and it's a *dog* it will get distracted even if it's a service dog, that's why you can't just go over and talk or look at them
Emitsteel boi why you got to argue
Yes but the woman didn't go over and talk to him. Like what about when that lady she knows was talking to her? But when the lady simply points out the dog (and doesn't go up to him and start shouting), she gets in all a fuss and starts getting all agro about it.
You can look at the dog. Stop acting like you know good service dog
btw you never lost consciousness, so you never fainted, and people wondering if you are okay because you have a service dog and you are just laying on the floor of a department store is not something that should be demonized.
Jody Hunt demonized really??
Starr Rosseter No she isn’t retarded there’s a difference between passing out and laying down. Laying down: You purposely move your body in a normal way to lay in a certain position on the floor(which she did in this case) And 2 passing out is completely different she would’ve fallen back and hurt herself in the first place but in this case it was mainly a combination of laying down.
You guys are so ignorant.
I don’t like how you said “encourage” like a friend would encouraged someone to do drugs, they’re kids, and she appeared to be an older lady, and the only says not to pet, and like they know that you have that as a medical condition, they could’ve thought you were blind or deaf or something like that, and you got super snotty right away. And it’s Walmart of all places. And you have you’re own kid, I’m pretty sure you’re kid didn’t act like a perfect angel right away.
Craig Tucker I don't like how you seem not to realize that if they were distracting Max any longer she could have passed out and gotten hurt.
Craig Tucker totally agree
I understand that you might be a little angry. but kids are kids. she is only telling this lady that her dog shouldn't be distracted. I guess that must just be the word that she could think of at the time. If she was feeling like she was going to pass out its crucial that her dog is on high alert and not distracted
Yeah but that's why you educate your kids. Think about it this happens over and over again and basically snowballs over and over so yeah she might get a little snappy when this happens but parents need to educate their kids to not distract service animals or to walk to the owner instead to ask questions therefore the dog is still focused on their owner.
Oh my goodness what an amazing service dog. He's so well trained, and he's seems like such a sweetheart from the way he comforted you.
I would like to know what qualifications this girl has for training a service animal.
You don't need qualifications.
peepslostsheep then what's the distinction between SD, ESA and regular dog? I trained my dog to lay on me when I cry at night, is he now a service dog?
Erin Thomas
www.ada.gov/regs2010/service_animal_qa.html
She has POTS and that requires a training dog especially since it come
s with anxiety
States requires different things. In California you need a license
Husband: Raspberries are guddddd. Girl: GOD DAMN IT HES STILL EATING RASPBERRIES
He can't touch her, that's what the dog is for "service dog"
Y'all be blaming her but thats a SERVICE DOG it was trained to help the poor human being and if any child distracts the dog and the owner gets hurt guess who's going to pay yeah u got that right the parents so leave the woman and her hero alone
interesting... being a teacher i am responsible for 25 students at an average time. so can i say the 'i was distracted' line if i was distracted due to whatever? can Avonte Oquendo's para say 'he was distracted' when avonte took off that fateful day? his para was at lunch and the other para lumbered with now watching two students was distracted. can he use that excuse? idk about animals but with people the people are required NOT TO ALLOW THEMSELVES TO GET DISTRACTED.
dear boss wtf ...😹😹
sorry if i keep on rambling and bring up 'off topic' things but this is a sore spot for me. distraction is a non-excuse where i come from.
dear boss well you must be a really crap teacher then
Miguel Nicolo 😂😂😂 i was thinking the same lol
You're so lucky to have such a strong support system. I have ptsd, anxiety, insomnia, and depression. I really want a service dog to help me with my panic attacks and depression, but my mom thinks it's not that bad. I love watching your videos, you have helped me learn and I hope you're doing ok.
Your husband looks super worried about you
Rachel Dye *doesn't*
no he don't
Because hes use to it.shes been going through whatever it is at least since she was pregnant.so he sits and allows her to come out of it.what can he do?she doent like to be touched when it happens
Omg I hate that feeling when you feel like your going to faint but then it doesn't happen and your just sitting there feeling light headed >.
that’s just being extremely nauseous
Chewy Jewy oops i confused it with a concussion. nausea is when your stomach lining gets irritated
I was a massage instructor for 6 years and had 2 blind and a couple of disabled students who had service dogs. Our college made a point to educate the students on not interracting with the dogs when they were working. We had kennels in the classrooms of the dogs so that they could rest during class time.
We made it a point on graduation night to give the dogs (wearing their own cap) a certificate and acknowledge them as well as the students.
I love your videos. They teach me. I have health issues that are making me realize that at some point, I may need a service animal. I learn so much from you. Thank you! 💜💜💜
I think she only over reacted when she talked to the women about he little boy saying there’s a puppy. Like he’s 3-5 he doesn’t know better. Other than that, she’s right.
Megan Povilaitis It's the parent's job to educate the kids. She should be stern.
JM Andy the kid is 3 😐
JM Andy “should be stern” it’s a child what is the mother supposed to do, start yelling at the poor kid is the middle of a Walmart? No, it’s a damn child, he doesn’t know any better and probably won’t for another year.
rebecca Oof the mother pointed her dog out in the first place!
Your husband is me on a spiritual level lol 😂😂
Ollies Journey i
This comment is cancer on a spiritual level lol
4:35 If you’ve had the feeling that you’re going to faint for as long as an hour, you probably should’ve left a lot earlier. Even if you had important things to get, you have your husband there too who can also cover your shopping. It’s much easier to take personal responsibility by trusting your gut, and just sit in your car to cool down. What isn’t helpful is if you’re filming people who are simply uninformed about service dogs, and rant about how awful people they are, and faint in the store, when this whole ordeal could’ve easily been avoided.
She didn't rant and she was recording to check up on her dogs progress with training
Katie Nelson Well maybe she didn't do that so when people try to talk to the dog she can tell him to stop because he is still in training it might help it remember not to get distracted by people so stfu
She does loads of videos so yeah she's just being an idiot
She record's these videos to see how her dog is doing so she could check up on him
She puts them on TH-cam so she can raise awareness
And it's A SREVICE DOG IT SAYS IT ON HIS VEST " D0 NOT TOUCH ON DUTY" she dosnt want but rather informs you on how to act she takes her dog out to practice with him and was probably far from the exit so she found the nearest bench to sit down on she wouldn't have made it to the exit, don't say this could have been avoided when you havnt been in that situation yourself
Katie Nelson but she can't be in her car all the time... this probably happens a lot she can't do it all the time
I'm so sorry that this happened a to you and that you have to live with this condition but max is such a good dog and I hope you will find a way for people to stop bothering him and making him get dessracted. Before I started to watch your channel a couple of months ago I thought that service dogs weren't able to do this kind of stuff and that they just made the person feel safe, but after I learned that they can help in so many different ways and that they are truly awesome. P.s. I love your channel
I dunno, I think starting out your sentence with "Can you teach your kids" is already kind of a disrespectful thing to say.
Very passive aggressive of her. I’m surprised the person she was lecturing acted so kindly.
Dude, they stopped to look at the dog, not her. And yes, asking any parent to lecture their kids is disrespectful because it's insulting them on their parenting skills.
Prismatic your ignorance scares me
Prismatic It's disrespectful and ILLEGAL to distract a service dog. You are so ignorant it hurts.
I genuinely don’t think they meant that, they were probably having a panic attack and it’s hard to think.
Is it illegal to say I like you dog
Catnip 101 yes, that would be distracting the dog
Yes, it’s a service dog
as long as you dont make any contact with the dog and just tell the owner then its pretty much OK
You don’t get it. She said it’s illegal to distract a dog that needs to help. And it NEEDS to help because she feels ill.
Cookie Crunch so what you're saying is everyone talking to a handler should go to jail because talking to the handler distracts the dog... in fact everyone walking around her is distracting the dog..
Hey, I want you to know, that you're not alone, I also have ptsd and bad anxiety, along with depression, you're dog max, does a great job, and I'm happy you have him, thanks for reading this, if you did.
,
Wait why does this have 2 likes
Blue Eyes White Dragon The Great,BTW I love your profile picture💗
nuclear bomb Thanks buddo.
then go talk to a therapist about your anxiety and depression issues. I believe that depression is all caused by the brain, genetic vulnerability, stressful life events, medications, and medical problems. The brain is tricking you into something that isn't real and you have those things that causes anxiety. I understand that service dogs are helpful! I am thankful that we have those people who trains dogs and I think they will do good with people with ptsd and bad anxiety, along with depression issues.
Tucker Peterson Honey, mental illness is real. a REAL chemical in balance in the brain with no real cause and no magic cure. Therapy is not a cure for everyone.
So glad i watched this video really informative on not to distract a service animal . Im so sorry on what you have to go threw and your passing out .
"So uhh, what are you in for?"
"Looking at a dog and petting it"
Savage Well that is putting someone's life in danger
It sucks you had to lay on the Walmart floor. I feel bad for you that you have a condition like that... But its good you have a good family. 😀
Your dog is so cute ☺😶☺
Oh well, it’s for medical reasons
*silently cringes with a big dumb grin*
Yes *im dissatisfied with myself*
Max did amazing! Good job Max
Gravity Falls he is highly trained Service dog if my dog where there tho it would be Pilled up crying in my arms
Gravity Falls bad JOB max..
Samsung Or Apple no
I love how you're husband is so use to you fainting that can keep his cool and think straight without panicking
7:20 doesn't everyone casually forget their camera on pointing it directly where they know they are going to lay down
Domo Notell fakers
This lady is so annoying and mean my gosh she should just not go out if you get bothered so easily
John Lueken so you're saying she should isolate herself from the public?
Aaron Burr If she get bothered so Easily maybe
That's not good for her, she needs to be out in public and it'd be impossible for her to stay indoors forever
Also I think you'd be bothered if your life and wellbeing depended on it
people are so ignorant sometimes. I learned that you can’t touch or look at a service dog in public at a very young age. They should know this because they are adults, I know some people have not learned this and I understand that,but if you see a sign that says “do not touch” I feel like you should be able to respect that.
As a parent, you need to acknowledge the dog your kid's babbling about in order to teach them why they can't go bother it.
Elizabeth G okay but the lady literally told her kid "oh look at the puppy"
I’m still at a young age and when I saw a service dog, i red it vest and did what it told me or everyone to do.
Try explaining that to a child who can't read yet and can barely talk. I have a hard enough time getting my toddler to obey the enormous blaring red sign that says "no shoes" on the indoor playground. You acknowledge the sign and explain to them what it means before they go to play... Not just expect them to understand so they can be yelled at for disobeying the sign later.
Elizabeth G I’m saying that I think adults should be able to know that when you see a service dog you do not touch the dog or talk to it. I was not talking about young children. I’m sorry if I upset you.
She isn't over reacting.SHE NEEDS TO TAKE CARE OF HERSELF AND HER DOG.SHE SHOULD BE STRICT.
apple pen pine apple pen she can take care of herself by staying home. It was a “quick” trip to Walmart it was pointless for her to go. She honestly should’ve stayed home and watched the kind. Unless that’s too much stress for her.
I just want to say I really admire you for recording your day to day activity. In all honesty I couldnt handle that type of thing lol. Keep doing what you do!! 100% support!!
for 1 hour you felt like you were going to pass out? you had an entire hour to get out of the store and go sit in your car.
Jody Hunt kinda silly isn't it?
Its not ur problem so dont complain makeing these comments can make her anxiety worse
gabby doge 43 this is TH-cam. Apparently you don't know how things work round these parts.
Jacob D shut up i do u just need to shut up and stop talking bout me
gabby doge 43 well excuuuuse me.
That was amazing. Not the passing out part, but you know what I mean. Good boy Max.
No I understand! We have been working so hard. It's really starting to show!
You’re beautiful and so is your family and dog❤️ I’m happy you’re spreading awareness.
The husband knows nit to freak out he knows thats what the service dog is for its amazing how these amazing animals can sence thing its incredible. I hope you feel better and i hope things get better for you..
Well it's kinda like their sixth SENSE to SENSE these kind of things in a pack. As you were saying it really is amazing how they can SENSE these type of things.
Jacquelyn Gonzales Keeme ok
aecrouch 2016 Dude I'm pretty sure he was concern that is why he kept checking on her what you need to understand the reason he needs to be so calm is cuz he knows the dog is doing it's work now if the dog sets of the alarm that she needs help than that is when he has to take serious action maybe you never have had a family member with a service dog but you always have to keep calm I'm proud of the man for keeping his cool and watching after his kid like he should be doing
Okay, but like? You are in walmart and two kids looking are going to distract the dog but nothing else in walmart are? The dog didnt seem to care at all. Not arguing just trying to understand. I understand if they came up and started petting, or were a couple feet away jumping and pointing, but they were is a shopping cart out of the dogs central view.
Try to imagine yourself in her shoes. She has some medical issues (anxiety) and can faint for multiple minutes. The dog, Max, makes a certain gesture for when she is about to faint even though she can feel it, so she can lay down. The dog is critical for her life quite literally, if Max is distracted by a kid calling him he will not give quality treatment and his owner could die. Yes, she may be overreacting but, let me ask you again, how would you feel if people distracted your dog when you can have an anxiety attack or faint any moment? It would not help the anxiety at all.
But what im trying to say is they weren't distracting the dog. I understand the reasoning but the dog wasn't distracted.
they weren’t just looking at the dog. the dog obviously got distracted and at any moment she couldn’t passed out. when you see a service dog you are supposed to IGNORE it. Act like it’s not there or else it’s against the law. try to imagine you could pass out any minute and the only thing that protects you is distracted. are you gonna sit there and not say anything to prevent it in the future?
Misaka 10032 it’s actually only against the law of you are actually take it away from work . Saying hi to a dog really isn’t distracting it . He was doing perfectly fine
Miniclem. If you look the law up even talking to them is breaking said law. Any form of a distraction breaks that law
I know where you are getting at with how people react and go to the animals. But you need to learn to be respectful when telling an adult or parent to not distract your animal. They do not know better. Not everyone is going to know a service dog from a normal dog at a store. Not everyone has that knowledge. I've worked with both types of animals and to a normal human being. A dog. Will be a dog.
Edit:people seriously. It's my option. stop being dramatic
Edit again: people. Seriously stop.
TofuTeo that's basically what I was saying. In less words
Absolutely. Most people aren't "trying to distract" a service dog when approaching one. They're just being friendly. Social, you know, as human beings are. While she's completely right that it's illegal to distract a service dog, she needs to understand that the average person doesn't constantly scheme against disabled people with service dogs. They probably just think "Oh, lovely dog! Let me say hi to the owner!" I watched some other videos and she seems to have a tendency to criminalize well-meaning people who approach her and her dog. It must be really difficult to live with such a condition and I wish I understood the struggle better, but none of us should feel entitled to being treated a certain way. We can't control the actions of others and we can't fault people every opportunity we get - especially when we'll-meaning people might not necessarily understand the importance of a service dog's focus. Just wish she would be a bit kinder towards others, or at the very least, be more polite in telling people to stay away. Entitlement robs us of rest.
well-meaning*
This is true and even if people know its a service dog I don't know of anyone who knows youre not supposed to comment on it and that doing so is illegal. Sounds like a very irrational law to me but eh The States has a lot of irrational laws.
Kat On High the dog has a vest that says it’s a service dog and it’s common sense to leave service dogs alone
I subbed bc on one of ur vids u said u had anxiety so I wanted to spread the love u seem like a great person so I hope u get to 1m
I how the husband just *Lifts arm* "Ah passed out? Alright cool, get me some raspberries" lmao. That was too funny!
I have a Pit Bull service dog, in a big beach city with loads of people and tourists and we do not have these problems. I really think they are of her own making. They are not this common.
Epic Dyslexic My aunt also has a service dog and she lives not far from Venice and usually when she feels up to it me and her go on walks and with a place with so many people we don’t get bothered or questioned about the vest...
Above Aero
I've had a few times during the summer when its too hot (In the southern US) for a vest where I've been asked if he is a service dog but I just answer politely and move on. When he has his vest it is never asked. Nothing to get worked up about. I'd say most people respect service dogs and don't give us trouble.
Aaliyah Davis
No, people just don't care about service dogs. I live by one of the largest bases and there are many vets with PTSD service dogs and I know one man and he has a border collie and he can count on 1 hand how many issues he has had with people, and he said they aren't even really "issues" just annoyances.
Epic Dyslexic What’s the base called?
2 really, Norfolk Naval station which is the biggest navy base and then Oceana Naval Air Station which is the second largest base. I'm in Virginia. Both parents were sailors, so I'm rather proud of our bases 😂😂
These comments are horrible, and I get what they’re coming from but goodness! I completely understand why you reacted the way you did, but use this as a learning experience maybe? I don’t mean to put this Rudely. He does a great job with working with you!
friesinthecarvent YES GIRL THANK YOU
They should be no one did anything she's clickbaiting and using animals as a way to make mor money shame on her
I get your point as a person who doesn’t understand anything but this is how you inforce in this comment is very naïve
Lps universe excuse me?
Lps universe Agree.
I got a lump in my throat, and I teared up when you got the alert to lay down before your episode.
I don't suffer from or even know anyone who suffers from any attacks that they would need assistance like that.
I just imagined you being without your service dog and just flopping to the floor wherever in the store.
God bless your heart and that sweet dog.
this is just amazing! i hope that your dog can always be there for you!
Okay first of you need to chill out! Some people don’t have the experience you do in this subject and don’t know the do’s and don’ts so rather then snapping at them just politely say he needs to stay focused. Second people can’t read your mind and don’t know when your gonna “PASS OUT” so just chill out. You might not have so much anxiety if you take a different approach and don’t feel like everyone is attacking you.
she was rather informative for those ppl, not impolite tbh
Sami W. it's her tone
I agree she shouldn’t be yelling at those people like that instead of snapping at them just say “he needs to stay focused” some people just like dogs and want to point it out to there kids. So just chill
Well said
Couldn't have said it any better
Don't look at my dog in the very back of my car for he is working and might miss a signal when I'm going to faint in the front of the car.
Flawsome that is seriously all they did was look and say to there parents "look at the puppy" like get over yourself. "Yourself"
Trevor Kelley But the kid didn't say anything, it was the parent so she was speaking to the parent not the child
Trevor Kelley that can still distract a dog.
*Looks at dog*
My children: HI DOGGY!! *Tapping on window*
Good kids
OK.....
I’m 11 and my parents have always taught us that if we are in public and there is a service dog that we should leave it or kindly ask the woman/man if it is ok to pet the dog. Right now my mother is actually training our dog,baxter to be a service dog and help my mother with her depression.
If I saw a grown woman completely dependent on a dog to help her do basic human necessities and then LYING on the ground, I would just laugh my fking as off and snap a picture
Not all disabilities are visible
Make sure to tag me!
It makes me mad how people just cant tell that its a service dog like read the side of the dog and leave it alone
Deanna Gulu you cant, its so tiny and not to mention the dog is between her legs
What service dog mean tho
Deanna Gulu You idiot people can tell but does it look like EVERYONE knows rules about service dogs? Everybody knows not to pet but its ok to look and tell your kids about it because they are rare and still that dog shouldnt have been given to her if it's not fully trained you idiot
There's no official vetting system in the US so to be fair it's literally impossible to tell.
ya i dont think that kid could read
Do you faint when you're getting tattoos?
Questionable Things bwahahaha
Dogs are such amazing beings. I'm sorry you need your companion but I'm eternally grateful you have them. Thank you for educating all of us.
hey quick question how did you have a tattoo or does anxiety not effect stuff like that and pain
Only place we can distract the dog is in this comment section ;)
QtBrayRotmg CRINGE
OverwatchShips I ship people to much how?
QtBrayRotmg WOOF WOOF
Lmao cdirk is getting buffed /\
I feel so Bad For you and your Dog
We hope you can be Healthy and Positive☺☺❤❤
your videos have helped me understand the importance of letting service dogs do their duty😘 thank you for teaching me something that can help people in many ways.
Wher did you get the leash yo go around your waist I'm training my own ptsd dog and that work so good for me
My goodness, her attitude towards the world is disgusting. Yes, I understand that she has a disorder but telling people off like that is terrible. Your leg was OBVIOUSLY blocking her view of the harness thing and it most definitely wasn't that lady's fault. Everyone thinks dogs are cute and the way you treated her probably ruined her day. Not everyone knows how service dogs work so stop acting like this towards everyone who even looks at your dog.
Isabel C exactly
Shut up and stop complaining its makes things worse
Isabel c. I agree with u she needs to watch she additude with people
why so she can put her safty at risk that's terrible for you to say maybe if people knew the laws that surrounds service animals then it wouldn't happen why does she got to explain to everyone the laws that they should know
She might not want them to go to jail?? But here is something I would do the same because it is illegal
Bts- ILLEGAL~
Ok I'll stop
When she got married did she walk down the isle with her dog that would be super cute
Mady E probably not
omg yea! the forgo is wearing a tux or a small veil
Max was doing such a great job! I don’t know much about service animal commands and I really liked how you explained what he was doing. You seemed really proud of him and you should be! Great video
WAIT ONE SECOND DEBBIE I GOTTA EAT MY RASBERRIES
DEBBIE: IM PASSING OUT
OK LET ME FINISH THESE LAST RASBERRIES
