I'm so glad you're back! I've missed watching your videos. Also your hair is so pretty! Thank you for making these kinds of videos for us to see. I like that you brought up the difficulties that you go through on a regular basis out in public to show people that even though these dogs can help, they bring so much attention, wanted and unwanted!
Thank you so much! I’m definitely going to try to post more and get back in the habit of it. It will be hard with clinicals starting but I’m going to do my best. I’m glad you liked the video!
Thank you! I have been so busy with school and just got out of the habit of making videos. I’m going to try to make more videos especially fun ones when I go out with Dallas 💕
Welcome back! I am going to college in January with my service dog in training. He is my 3rd, I've been training dogs since I was 6. I have a standard poodle and he is also doing puppy classes at petsmart. He is absolutely amazing and he is doing great. He has a great temperament. He was born in April 2024 so he will be 9 months old when we go to college. It is early for most dogs but due to his temperament, it will be okay. He isn't distracted by people, food, or other dogs. He has a solid focus in public and he has a perfect recall. If he makes a mistake, I can easily correct him. He is very laid back and he has a solid down stay. For most dogs 9 months would be very early, but he is different. He is only 4 months old and he is absolutely amazing. We have two trainers and they both agree that he should be trained well enough by January. He can already sit, stay, heel on and off leash, recall from a long distance, touch my hand, alert to my PTSD or anxiety, fetch my medicine, make eye contact, and much more. I didn't start his training until he was about 3 months old. I focused on desensitizing and socialization when I first got him. We live in the city so I took him outside to watch fireworks with me and he wasn't scared at all due to his early desensitization. I've played loud noises on my TV daily such as construction, thunder, fireworks, yelling, babies crying, dogs barking, and many other noises dogs would usually be afraid of. My dad and I took him on a walk for the first time last week and he did perfect. We walked through the river canal in downtown Oklahoma city, there were many bars with loud music and people, ducks, turtles, dogs, birds, kids, scooters, loud cars and motorcycles, and the boats that go down the canal. At first he was a bit afraid, every time he was a bit frightened I crouched down next to him and I gave him treats while he watched his surroundings so he knew everything was okay. After about 5 minutes, he wasn't scared at all. We went through the park near the myriad gardens and I noticed a splash pad. We walked over so I could train him in the water. It was very loud so I was expecting him to get scared of the noise or the water jets. He wasn't scared at all! I stood near the splash pad and I allowed him to decide if he wanted to go over or not. He continued to walk towards the water even when I stopped, so we went into the water together. It wasn't deep at all, it's just little sprinkler jets on a stone ground. As soon as he made it to the middle, he flopped down into the water. He loves laying in water. I let him chill out for a few minutes then I trained him a bit and he did great! I got him to put his paws on top of some benches and rocks to help build his confidence and he did great. There were some bike racks that looked like circles so I asked him to walk through, and he did. At first he was confused and he went around so I lured him through the first one, then he went through all of them. There is a part of the riverwalk that connects to a sidewalk in the city, there is a small bridge with a stream of water going under it, I jumped over it (it was about a foot wide and maybe 6 inches deep), I thought Carlito would jump over too but he didn't... He decided to walk in! I was very proud of him because he wasn't scared at all. We practiced how down stay, block, cover, and him laying under my legs while I sit down. He did excellent! We have only been working on his tasks for a week and he is already doing great. I got very lucky with him. My great uncles ex girlfriends daughter is an AKC breeder and she shows her dogs. Carlito was the runt of the litter and the smartest. I wanted a black female but there was only 1 and she had a deposit down already, so I chose him. He looks similar to my first service dog too! I love him dearly and I can't believe how well he is doing. I constantly get compliments on him, he amazes me daily. I just wish he would stop trying to slap me..
Great to have another video from you. That was a very thorough and comprehensive list. . I really like what you said about a service dog without training not being a service dog.
This is the first of your videos the YT-algorithm recommended to me and I am already in love with Dallas. :) Great list and important questions to answer - apart from the service dog specific ones - before getting any dog.
Wow, I love that you shined some light on some of the drawbacks or downsides to having a service dog. Service dogs can absolutely help with disabilities but it’s so important to realize that having one comes w obstacles and you have to determine if those drawbacks might cause you more problems than you are already dealing with. Sometimes the issues that come w owning, training and caring for (physically and financially) a service dog can make a persons life harder than it already is…. A great example of that is someone who is dealing with anxiety. The last thing they may want is many people approaching them every single time they go out in public to quickly run an errand or do something.
i have a service dog in training, everything was pushed behind because he got lepto, im saving money to pay for his last phase, 6k! its still so expensive even tho most of his training is done, this training it helping with the few things he struggles with, THEN MY JOB CUT MY HOURS. i feel so stuck
I’m so sorry to hear that! But this is a great example that goes perfectly with this video that service dogs are not cheap, nor easy to acquire. Some people just want to take their dog with them everywhere so they say “I’m going to make it a service dog.” But in reality only people who actually need a service dog are going to go through all the difficult steps to get it done properly. I hope everything works out for y’all in the end!
@@dallastheservicedoodle7236 yeah, i have ptsd and he already knows dpt (just not sure when to do it) so i guess queues, and he does have doggy adhd (i have a doodle), those are the main things, hes actually at a hotel with us so he does good for that and he still have other tasks, but sometimes having him with me stresses me out because hes not fully trained yet.
Firsttttt I'm so glad your back!!!
Thank you!! 💕
