What’s crazy about this is this dog is teaching you as well. He is helping you brain to recognize what your doing and helping you put in place your own stops by having it reinforced by another being. He’s literally teaching you how to cope naturally, so that even without him your brain will be trained to deal better. Dogs are great aren’t they?
Beautifully Done!! To see U behave as I do, during an Episode? How Incredibly comforting to know, there's other helping options! Where as,"Pop a Pill"(wait 6 weeks only to learn, it isn't working). Mental Illness from the start, isn't Ur True Self. Add Medication, & more of U is Molded by Chemicals. And lastly, the Side effects. Powerful enough to Stop taking a Medication that's Helping, because of the Horrible Side effects. ThankU for taking the time to "Share Ur Victory"! There's so little known about Mental Illness. Every Day, U fight against a Demon. Some days are Empty & Exausting..& then? Some times ("A Video") comes to U, delivering with it.."A GOOD NEWS DAY"!
I was watching this wth my PSD in the other room and she heard the crying and thought it was me lol, I gotta say though, pretty proud that she heard it from the other room
My pup quickly learned when I was faking. Thankfully, he took to these duties quite naturally so I was told I should just encourage him. I have found that severe pain can come across as anxiety as he also heard it in my voice and smells it as well. This can be frustrating for him however as he can't stop my pain & can get upset when he can't do his job well. He also assists with other health issues and has saved my life twice. Dogs are amazing creatures and I'm so thankful for them ❤️
I wish I had a service dog too when I had a really bad anxiety in 2020, I'm sure I would have healed faster. But thanks God I'm now better. Anyway love Daryl and that cute little dog too😊❤❤❤
Thank you for making this video!! I'm starting to pursue a psychiatric service dog and this video helped assure me that all the time and effort will be worth it. ❤️
Having a service dog and a pet dog can be complicated and can cause some problems. The little dog appears to be having anxiety and confusion over watching you train and reward your service dog with affection. The little dog’s ears keep going back and shows a bit of freezing at 0:58 and each time shown in the video. You push the little dog away with your foot and sounds like you say “move” as if maybe the little dog is an inconvenience while giving so much attention and affection to your service dog. Dogs communicate most through body language, so pushing the little dog away with the negative “move” speaks very loudly and unfairly to the little dog that he/she is unwanted while the other dog is deeply wanted. I recommend putting the little dog in a nice, quiet, comfy and safe place (possibly with music or tv on so he/she can’t hear all that’s being missed out on) when training with your service dog. After service dog training sessions, be sure to give the little dog lots of quality time too. Since you do so well with training your service dog, giving the little dog some basic obedience training would benefit you all too. If not, then confusion, anxiety and any kind of poor feelings can cause a lot of problems for both dogs, and yourself in getting proper help from your service dog. It can cause problems between both dogs too which then can be a distraction for the service dog. Hope this helps. Best of luck. ❤
Will you be making any videos on how you got him to learn these task? I would love to see that! At some point I'll be training my own service dog. I liked his approach of alerting. Did you have to train him to be okay being held? Or did he already like it?
Amanda Queen XD I certainly can! Daryl loves to sit on my lap and be held, we did have to work a little on being comfortable being hugged but now he loves it!
My dog came up with this naturally that's exactly what he does and he was never trained to do it he's a border collie it's amazing how empathetic he is, what we are working on is DPT
Don’t forget you have to be diagnosed with a disability, so in her case she has to be diagnosed with disabling anxiety. I know it’s personal so I will not ask you your mental disability. Just don’t forget the laws and make sure you are educated before you get a service dog. 😊

They absolutely can stop that behavior! I have a six pound Yorkie that started to alert, and disrupt my picking and chewing cuticles. I have extreme anxiety disorder, and severe panic attacks to the point of passing out. I am in constant agonizing pain, due to medical several medical conditions. The higher the pain the more anxiety, and I would chew my cuticles bloody. Because of Phoebe, my fingers look the best they have ever looked, and my doctor even commented on it. I have since worked with Phoebe, and she is fully trained as my service dog. My last service dog was a Doberman. The only drawback to having a six pound Yorkie as a service dog, is that I am constantly having to ask people to please don't talk to, try to pet, or otherwise distract her. I've also encountered people, including other people with service dogs, who want to argue that she is not a trained service dog. Due to her small size, she has to be placed in the seat of the shopping cart, in order to be able to alert, feet on my chest, laying on my shoulder, or licking my face, depending on how my anxiety builds. There are still days that I just can't face going out in about crowd, but Phoebe has definitely changed my life for the better! I wish you he best of luck finding the perfect canine companion!
I would totally by freaking out in public like all the time but my anxiety stops my anxiety, it's literally like if you freak out it'll embarrass you so let's not, so I freak out internally
did he alert naturally to changes in breathing or did you have to train him? i’m struggling with my SDiT picking up breathing cues and i’m interested in knowing how you taught daryl that task :) thank you!
Mac Petrick he did not do it naturally, what I did was first teach the behavior I wanted him to do, for me it was to put his paws up on my lap, once he knew that I would start breathing heavily and then ask for the behavior. Eventually he associated the two together and from that just heavily rewarded when he did it on his own!
I have a question, I am in marching band. I may need to bring my psychiatric service dog along with me but it would be hard for him to stay by my side the entire time. Am I allowed to leave him on the side lines at all in public/at school?
Personally I would not feel comfortable leaving my dog alone not because I don’t trust him but because I don’t trust other people. I would leave your dog with a trusted friend/parent/peer to hold their leash and make sure they’re safe :)
Im hopefully getting my dog in March and i will train them myself. This was very helpful im adding some of these to the list. Thank you! 💛🖤 Edit:we dont have enough money to get a dog we quickly lost alot
I’m curious how exactly were you able to get your service dog? Cause I have a paper from my therapist saying I’m able to get one because of the seizures and the constant anxiety attacks and other stuff I have but I just still haven’t figured out how it would work. I just turned 18 and recently had a massive panic attack at my high school graduation in front of a lot of people. And it’s public to the internet which is so terrible for me. Cause I hate that type of attention. My therapist thinks it would be a good idea for me to have a service dog since my seizures are related to my anxiety and stress and that’s probably really bad but I just gotta live with it. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.
I got Daryl through a local service dog organization called heeling house! Typically once you pick an organization you can fill out an application through their website! I recommend searching on assistancedogsinternational.org to find an organization that works for you!
Wow this is amazing! Starting the process of getting a service dog myself, but very anxious about self-training (but also not sure I can afford a professional trainer for 2+ years) how did training Daryl work?
I received Daryl through an amazing organization called heeling house. He was not fully trained when I took him home and I finished his training through classes at heeling house and with their advice and support. I would say I definitely recommend having a trainer you can go to periodically to give you tips and answer any questions/help you problem solve. It is very hard to do 100% on your own and I wouldn’t recommend that but you can see a trainer as often or as infrequently as you’d like!
I dissociate almost every time I go out; it’s like a different type of panick attack that I experience where I feel confused, and kind of feel like I’m not even apart of my body, just like watching. And it has never once not disrupted me when I go out. Would a service dogs be able help with that? Or any of this?- (I was diagnosed with social and general anxiety disorder, panic disorder, depression, and sensory processing disorder)
It depends! You have very similar diagnosis to me but that doesn’t mean we’d benefit from the same treatment. A service dog definitely could help but they’re not for everyone. I would talk about this with a doctor/psychologist to see if this may be a good option for you! Service dogs are a lot of work, most people only see the good parts but it’s a lot of work as a disabled person to keep up with the dogs needs/training. Also not everyone can handle the public attention and questions that come from having a dog in not pet friendly places. The benefits outweigh the negatives for me but you’d have to see if it would be feasible for you!
@@daryltheservicedog4557 thanks for the response! My family already has a dog so I know what it’s like to take care of one, but I didn’t think about how I’d feel with a dog out in public. I’ll definitely have to think about it and talk to my therapist.
Daryl loves sitting on my lap so it wasn’t too hard. I would start on an easier surface like a couch with more room and work up to a chair. First you have to add a name to jumping on your lap so you can ask for it then pair it with wherever behavior you want her to respond like that too by doing the behavior, asking for her to get on your lap, and reward!
I would find a reputable trainer who has experience training service dogs to help you out! Alerting before something happens is not something every dog can do unless there are visual or auditory signs it’s going to happen, it would have to be a natural alert that you heavily reward. Unfortunately your dog either senses it or doesn’t
Jason Cottom I worked with an organization called Heeling House who helped teach me how to teach Daryl! I’d recommend working with a trainer who has experience with service dog training to help you and your dog get there!
I've been struggling with PTSD but I don't have a service dog because I'm determined to return back to duty and I probably couldn't have one because of that, but its interesting to see how they help. How does your dog determine the difference between a regular itch and when you start getting really anxious?
Not sure if your lifestyle allows it long term, but I wonder if having a PSD short term would help your nervous system recognize triggers and onset of symptoms and lessen the PTSD reaction over time? Either way, wishing you support and recovery!
@@samanthalodgebewellandwand3604 I think it would really help a lot because I can't walk down an aisle in a store if there's other people in it, or if it was clear before and I got halfway and another person starts walking in, I can't continue down that aisle I have to turn around and get out of there. Even my partners can't calm me down, I feel like I have to get away from them, and that sucks a lot because they were like brothers to me. Sometimes I just can't calm down, the combat breathing doesn't work, and even sitting outside doesn't work. The problem is, I might be going back to duty very soon, and I don't think the fire chief will allow me to take that PSD with me to the firehouse and even if he did, then what would happen when those tones drop and we got to go? That dog can't come on the ambo with us. Sometimes when we get one call, we get another call on the way back to the firehouse. Sometimes that happens 2 or3 times in a row. Thanks, I really appreciate it.
@@theww2girl141 I completely understand - you’re not alone, and whatever you need in that moment is totally valid and okay. Maybe part of specially training a PSD for your needs could include reaction to a fire alarm by going inside their crate or something like that. I think it’s worth exploring more if human companions are overwhelming. A dog is so non judgmental and can lovingly steer you out of those trigger situations. I hope it works out for you!
@@samanthalodgebewellandwand3604 That's what one of my neighbors told me the other day, there are a lot of other first responders that have PTSD and I still feel alone most of the time even though I know I'm not. That's a good idea. It might be something to look into. last firehouse I was at, one of the captains had a SAR dog and he kept him in the crate when he was on duty.
In the US there’s no certification for service dogs. It is required that they are trained to have proper public access behavior and be trained in 3 or more tasks that mitigate a disability.
My advice would be to contact a reputable trainer who has experience in training service dogs! There’s a lot more that goes into being a service dog then just being able to do the tasks, so I would say the first step would be to get your dog evaluated by a trainer to see if they would be a good fit for the job! Good luck!
@@daryltheservicedog4557 so I don’t really have a lot of money and I can’t. Can you just tell me some tips on how to train a new small dog for anxiety please?
I’m thinking about getting a psychiatric service dog from doggie do good Edit: Can’t afford one my uncle is breeding his service dog and I’m gonna get one of the puppies and get some help from a pro trainer so yea
Hello! I had some questions I hoping you guys can answer. I am a person that struggles with multiple mental disabilities that undergoes therapy and medication. I have a well trained ESA, that I would like to make into a PSD. How do I go about doing that? I am willing to do what ever training is necessary.
I would recommend finding a reputable trainer who has experience training service dogs! It would be super helpful to get your dog evaluated to see if service work is a good fit for him/her as there is a lot that goes into being a service dog and it’s not right for every dog! Once you find out if your dog is a good fit, you and your trainer can start working on public access behaviors and task training! Good luck I hope everything works out!
If the handler is showing signs of anxiety/panic attacks while standing, what would the dog do then? Because in all the clips I've been seeing, the person is sitting or laying down. Also I've been thinking about training a dog to be a psychiatric service dog, I understand that the animal must pass a Public Access Test, but how would I go about doing so? What companies are able to test a dog for this?
Good question! When I’m standing Daryl will jump up to put his paws on me until I sit down so he can do his thing :) if you’re in the US then legally there’s no test they actually have to pass. The public access test is a good thing for you to do with your dog on your own or with a trainer as a way to see if your dog has the necessary skills to do pa! If you’re in a different country I’m not sure of the laws
@@daryltheservicedog4557 Thank you! I've been researching about SD training and I didn't know at the time of posting that comment that it was not required, I just misunderstood the whole process.
He is a mutt so I’m not really sure what he is! I would definitely recommend either a golden retriever or a lab they are the most common service dog breeds for a reason. I wouldn’t necessarily recommend a mutt since there’s a much bigger chance of washing, Daryl just happened to have the right temperament. Getting a golden or lab from a reputable breeder who has a history of successful sd would give you the best chance of success unless you’d rather go w a program, as long as it’s a good one you’ll get the right dog!
@@daryltheservicedog4557 I'm training a 5 month old mutt right now just with what I know and it's going pretty well, but what do you mean by washing? it's probably something obvious I just don't get it.
Hi! Did you participate on the training? How long did it take? How old is him? Sorry just found your channel hope youre doing okay. If you'd be so kind to answer thanks
Do you know what organization that could certify our dog to become a service dog my wife has serve panic attacks but she has been training our labodoole for service our fur baby is awesome..my wife has contacted a organization in nj but it was at begining of pandemic so we didnt receive any response back...
There is no such thing as a certification for a service dog in the US. I do not know the laws in other countries though. In the US if your dog is public access trained (the ADI public access test is a great way to measure that) and provides multiple tasks to mitigate a disability (comfort does not count as a task) then the dog is legally a service dog
Thanks! He’s not in training we were just having a training session while filming! Even fully trained dogs need to keep up with their skills! My best guess is lab/Dutch shepherd mix but I don’t know for sure!
@@daryltheservicedog4557 thanks. He's gorgeous. I'm looking into a psychiatric service dog for depression/social anxiety - you must get this a lot, but any advice/place you'd recommend to start, especially not having tens of thousands of dollars for training, I'd appreciate it!
@@markc.7984 there are lots of organizations that provide service dogs free of charge! The only negative is they typically have a much longer waiting list. I’d start by looking on assistance dogs international’s website to look for a reputable organization near you! Keep in mind though even if the initial cost of the dog isn’t much you still need to be able to afford them the rest of their lives which can get very expensive, something to consider!
@@daryltheservicedog4557 For sure. I have been super wanting a dog in general, then the idea of training him or her to be a psychiatric service dog feels like an amazing support resource to have. Thanks for the reply. Next time you're in Austin, coffee is on me.
I received him from Heeling House and with there help I finished his training! That’s a long answer but basically lots of treats and praise! Rewarding behaviors I liked and then practicing over and over. Repetition was our biggest help!
Daryl the Service Dog Thank you for answering. I have a service dog for my severe anxiety and schizophrenia and I’m trying to learn how to teach her more advanced things to help me whenever I have an episode.
I know this is very late response but I wanna ask (THIS IS NOT MENT IN A RUDE WAY SO SO SO SORRY!!! IF IT SOUNDS LIKE IT!!!) Did your doctor or Therapist give you a prescription for the eligibility to get a service dog? I was wondering because I have horrible anxiety and panic attacks that get trigger very easily like the following: pressured question/Situations (like going to school to awnser questions or even walking in) Going to public places(This gets me really nervous) Social anxiety(Like Talking to people, being near people, and getting random comments in public) Asking simple questions(for example, Asking to use the restroom in school,Getting up to get a refill of my drink in open food places, And even asking to get food to my Mom!) Thats mostly important to know/Consider thanks you to read this! Please awnser if you can or anyone that knows :)
My psychologist wrote a note stating that she felt I would benefit from a service dog and what one could help me with. I believe most organizations require that just to make sure the service dog is for a legitimate reason!!
@@daryltheservicedog4557 Was he a rescue? And did he ever have reactivity or aggression? I want my rescue dog to become an SD but he has reactivity issues and I don't think he'll be able to get over them.

I've also encountered people, including other people with service dogs, who want to argue that she is not a trained service dog. Due to her small size, she has to be placed in the seat of the shopping cart, in order to be able to alert, feet on my chest, laying on my shoulder, or licking my face, depending on how my anxiety builds. There are still days that I just can't face going out in about crowd, but Phoebe has definitely changed my life for the better! I wish you he best of luck finding the perfect canine companion!
I would totally by freaking out in public like all the time but my anxiety stops my anxiety, it's literally like if you freak out it'll embarrass you so let's not, so I freak out internally
Haha I totally feel that!!
How do you train behavior interruptions?
1:05 I do this every panic attack and can’t breathe
How did you get him trained?
And this is why I want a service dog to help with my anxiety and maaaybe my cyclothimia
😍😍😍😍 wow
Did you have your pup trained or did you train him?
my dog failed service dog training which makes me so sad because now I need to get a program dog 💔
I love Daryl he reminds me of my son (dog)
Aww! you must have an awesome dog 😉😂
did he alert naturally to changes in breathing or did you have to train him? i’m struggling with my SDiT picking up breathing cues and i’m interested in knowing how you taught daryl that task :) thank you!
Mac Petrick he did not do it naturally, what I did was first teach the behavior I wanted him to do, for me it was to put his paws up on my lap, once he knew that I would start breathing heavily and then ask for the behavior. Eventually he associated the two together and from that just heavily rewarded when he did it on his own!
I have a question, I am in marching band. I may need to bring my psychiatric service dog along with me but it would be hard for him to stay by my side the entire time. Am I allowed to leave him on the side lines at all in public/at school?
Personally I would not feel comfortable leaving my dog alone not because I don’t trust him but because I don’t trust other people. I would leave your dog with a trusted friend/parent/peer to hold their leash and make sure they’re safe :)
Im hopefully getting my dog in March and i will train them myself. This was very helpful im adding some of these to the list. Thank you! 💛🖤 Edit:we dont have enough money to get a dog we quickly lost alot
That’s so exciting! I’m glad it was helpful :)
Are you allowed to train your own service dog and would it be legal? Also im thinking of getting a career in training service dogs
the little dog is like “what da heck human” u act sad then not? i confused
Can someone tell me how to train a dog to retrieve medicines?
I’m curious how exactly were you able to get your service dog? Cause I have a paper from my therapist saying I’m able to get one because of the seizures and the constant anxiety attacks and other stuff I have but I just still haven’t figured out how it would work. I just turned 18 and recently had a massive panic attack at my high school graduation in front of a lot of people. And it’s public to the internet which is so terrible for me. Cause I hate that type of attention. My therapist thinks it would be a good idea for me to have a service dog since my seizures are related to my anxiety and stress and that’s probably really bad but I just gotta live with it. Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks.
I got Daryl through a local service dog organization called heeling house! Typically once you pick an organization you can fill out an application through their website! I recommend searching on assistancedogsinternational.org to find an organization that works for you!
Wow this is amazing! Starting the process of getting a service dog myself, but very anxious about self-training (but also not sure I can afford a professional trainer for 2+ years) how did training Daryl work?
I received Daryl through an amazing organization called heeling house. He was not fully trained when I took him home and I finished his training through classes at heeling house and with their advice and support. I would say I definitely recommend having a trainer you can go to periodically to give you tips and answer any questions/help you problem solve. It is very hard to do 100% on your own and I wouldn’t recommend that but you can see a trainer as often or as infrequently as you’d like!
I dissociate almost every time I go out; it’s like a different type of panick attack that I experience where I feel confused, and kind of feel like I’m not even apart of my body, just like watching. And it has never once not disrupted me when I go out. Would a service dogs be able help with that? Or any of this?- (I was diagnosed with social and general anxiety disorder, panic disorder, depression, and sensory processing disorder)
It depends! You have very similar diagnosis to me but that doesn’t mean we’d benefit from the same treatment. A service dog definitely could help but they’re not for everyone. I would talk about this with a doctor/psychologist to see if this may be a good option for you! Service dogs are a lot of work, most people only see the good parts but it’s a lot of work as a disabled person to keep up with the dogs needs/training. Also not everyone can handle the public attention and questions that come from having a dog in not pet friendly places. The benefits outweigh the negatives for me but you’d have to see if it would be feasible for you!
@@daryltheservicedog4557 thanks for the response! My family already has a dog so I know what it’s like to take care of one, but I didn’t think about how I’d feel with a dog out in public. I’ll definitely have to think about it and talk to my therapist.
I wish i had someone like this dog to save me like he saves you
How did you train him to jump :0! I want my dog to do the same (she’s currently being trained)
Daryl loves sitting on my lap so it wasn’t too hard. I would start on an easier surface like a couch with more room and work up to a chair. First you have to add a name to jumping on your lap so you can ask for it then pair it with wherever behavior you want her to respond like that too by doing the behavior, asking for her to get on your lap, and reward!
i have severe vertigo that just comes on at ANY time and i have no warning signs, how do i go about training my dog to alert to this
I would find a reputable trainer who has experience training service dogs to help you out! Alerting before something happens is not something every dog can do unless there are visual or auditory signs it’s going to happen, it would have to be a natural alert that you heavily reward. Unfortunately your dog either senses it or doesn’t
hi big fan but i have a qustion do u recomen a service dog of his kind for a younger person like me that has what u have bc the ge relly bad
I'm thinking about getting a psychiatrist service dog, but I'm nervous about bringing it up. I genuinely think a PSD would help me.
I’m getting my own service dog this week and I’d like to know how you did specialized training for anxiety and panic attacks.
Jason Cottom I worked with an organization called Heeling House who helped teach me how to teach Daryl! I’d recommend working with a trainer who has experience with service dog training to help you and your dog get there!
This comment has been a while so , anything happening ? Hows the training
I've been struggling with PTSD but I don't have a service dog because I'm determined to return back to duty and I probably couldn't have one because of that, but its interesting to see how they help. How does your dog determine the difference between a regular itch and when you start getting really anxious?
Not sure if your lifestyle allows it long term, but I wonder if having a PSD short term would help your nervous system recognize triggers and onset of symptoms and lessen the PTSD reaction over time? Either way, wishing you support and recovery!
@@samanthalodgebewellandwand3604 I think it would really help a lot because I can't walk down an aisle in a store if there's other people in it, or if it was clear before and I got halfway and another person starts walking in, I can't continue down that aisle I have to turn around and get out of there. Even my partners can't calm me down, I feel like I have to get away from them, and that sucks a lot because they were like brothers to me. Sometimes I just can't calm down, the combat breathing doesn't work, and even sitting outside doesn't work. The problem is, I might be going back to duty very soon, and I don't think the fire chief will allow me to take that PSD with me to the firehouse and even if he did, then what would happen when those tones drop and we got to go? That dog can't come on the ambo with us. Sometimes when we get one call, we get another call on the way back to the firehouse. Sometimes that happens 2 or3 times in a row. Thanks, I really appreciate it.
@@theww2girl141 I completely understand - you’re not alone, and whatever you need in that moment is totally valid and okay. Maybe part of specially training a PSD for your needs could include reaction to a fire alarm by going inside their crate or something like that. I think it’s worth exploring more if human companions are overwhelming. A dog is so non judgmental and can lovingly steer you out of those trigger situations. I hope it works out for you!
@@samanthalodgebewellandwand3604 That's what one of my neighbors told me the other day, there are a lot of other first responders that have PTSD and I still feel alone most of the time even though I know I'm not. That's a good idea. It might be something to look into. last firehouse I was at, one of the captains had a SAR dog and he kept him in the crate when he was on duty.
Awww! Bellatrix and Rowdy are Pyschiatric service dogs as well( They're still in training though) Can you please give us some tips? Thanks you!
How do you certify a service dog for anxiety?
In the US there’s no certification for service dogs. It is required that they are trained to have proper public access behavior and be trained in 3 or more tasks that mitigate a disability.
Can you show me how to train them to do this? I want to train my new dog for anxiety to be a service dog. She is small tho and idk how
My advice would be to contact a reputable trainer who has experience in training service dogs! There’s a lot more that goes into being a service dog then just being able to do the tasks, so I would say the first step would be to get your dog evaluated by a trainer to see if they would be a good fit for the job! Good luck!
@@daryltheservicedog4557 so I don’t really have a lot of money and I can’t. Can you just tell me some tips on how to train a new small dog for anxiety please?
I'm begging you to teach how to train your dog to do this! I might be training an AD soon and I need to know how to do these! X
Abigail Richmond I can definitely do that!
@@daryltheservicedog4557 Really?! Thank you so much!!! I'm training my dog and that would be so incrediblely helpful! X
Where was he trained
I received him from Heeling House and finished his training with there help!
I’m thinking about getting a psychiatric service dog from doggie do good
Edit: Can’t afford one my uncle is breeding his service dog and I’m gonna get one of the puppies and get some help from a pro trainer so yea
I may need a an emotional support dog or a service dog. my consoler and I are going to be talking about that next week.
Hello! I had some questions I hoping you guys can answer. I am a person that struggles with multiple mental disabilities that undergoes therapy and medication. I have a well trained ESA, that I would like to make into a PSD. How do I go about doing that? I am willing to do what ever training is necessary.
I would recommend finding a reputable trainer who has experience training service dogs! It would be super helpful to get your dog evaluated to see if service work is a good fit for him/her as there is a lot that goes into being a service dog and it’s not right for every dog! Once you find out if your dog is a good fit, you and your trainer can start working on public access behaviors and task training! Good luck I hope everything works out!
If the handler is showing signs of anxiety/panic attacks while standing, what would the dog do then? Because in all the clips I've been seeing, the person is sitting or laying down.
Also I've been thinking about training a dog to be a psychiatric service dog, I understand that the animal must pass a Public Access Test, but how would I go about doing so? What companies are able to test a dog for this?
Good question! When I’m standing Daryl will jump up to put his paws on me until I sit down so he can do his thing :) if you’re in the US then legally there’s no test they actually have to pass. The public access test is a good thing for you to do with your dog on your own or with a trainer as a way to see if your dog has the necessary skills to do pa! If you’re in a different country I’m not sure of the laws
@@daryltheservicedog4557 Thank you! I've been researching about SD training and I didn't know at the time of posting that comment that it was not required, I just misunderstood the whole process.
What breed is he and what other breeds would you recommend for a psd? I've done research but it's very wishy washy with lots of breeds.
He is a mutt so I’m not really sure what he is! I would definitely recommend either a golden retriever or a lab they are the most common service dog breeds for a reason. I wouldn’t necessarily recommend a mutt since there’s a much bigger chance of washing, Daryl just happened to have the right temperament. Getting a golden or lab from a reputable breeder who has a history of successful sd would give you the best chance of success unless you’d rather go w a program, as long as it’s a good one you’ll get the right dog!
@@daryltheservicedog4557 I'm training a 5 month old mutt right now just with what I know and it's going pretty well, but what do you mean by washing? it's probably something obvious I just don't get it.
@@victoriarai no worries! Washing basically means the dog not ending up being right for service work
@@daryltheservicedog4557 Oh, ok! Thanks.
How many years take him learn all his tasks.?
He graduated from “in training” around 2 years old!
Hi! Did you participate on the training? How long did it take? How old is him? Sorry just found your channel hope youre doing okay. If you'd be so kind to answer thanks
Do you know what organization that could certify our dog to become a service dog my wife has serve panic attacks but she has been training our labodoole for service our fur baby is awesome..my wife has contacted a organization in nj but it was at begining of pandemic so we didnt receive any response back...
There is no such thing as a certification for a service dog in the US. I do not know the laws in other countries though. In the US if your dog is public access trained (the ADI public access test is a great way to measure that) and provides multiple tasks to mitigate a disability (comfort does not count as a task) then the dog is legally a service dog
I just adopted a dog. I want him as my service dog, but its expensive
Dogs are better than hoomans
This is called intelligent disobedience hahaha that sounds like a siberian husky lol
Haha!!
Nice work. It looks like he's still in training? I'd love to know what breed/mix he is.
Thanks! He’s not in training we were just having a training session while filming! Even fully trained dogs need to keep up with their skills! My best guess is lab/Dutch shepherd mix but I don’t know for sure!
@@daryltheservicedog4557 thanks. He's gorgeous. I'm looking into a psychiatric service dog for depression/social anxiety - you must get this a lot, but any advice/place you'd recommend to start, especially not having tens of thousands of dollars for training, I'd appreciate it!
@@markc.7984 there are lots of organizations that provide service dogs free of charge! The only negative is they typically have a much longer waiting list. I’d start by looking on assistance dogs international’s website to look for a reputable organization near you! Keep in mind though even if the initial cost of the dog isn’t much you still need to be able to afford them the rest of their lives which can get very expensive, something to consider!
@@daryltheservicedog4557 For sure. I have been super wanting a dog in general, then the idea of training him or her to be a psychiatric service dog feels like an amazing support resource to have. Thanks for the reply. Next time you're in Austin, coffee is on me.
Did you teach your dog yourself? If so could I ask how you taught him?
I received him from Heeling House and with there help I finished his training! That’s a long answer but basically lots of treats and praise! Rewarding behaviors I liked and then practicing over and over. Repetition was our biggest help!
Daryl the Service Dog Thank you for answering. I have a service dog for my severe anxiety and schizophrenia and I’m trying to learn how to teach her more advanced things to help me whenever I have an episode.
I know this is very late response but I wanna ask (THIS IS NOT MENT IN A RUDE WAY SO SO SO SORRY!!! IF IT SOUNDS LIKE IT!!!)
Did your doctor or Therapist give you a prescription for the eligibility to get a service dog?
I was wondering because I have horrible anxiety and panic attacks that get trigger very easily like the following:
pressured question/Situations (like going to school to awnser questions or even walking in)
Going to public places(This gets me really nervous)
Social anxiety(Like Talking to people, being near people, and getting random comments in public)
Asking simple questions(for example, Asking to use the restroom in school,Getting up to get a refill of my drink in open food places, And even asking to get food to my Mom!)
Thats mostly important to know/Consider thanks you to read this! Please awnser if you can or anyone that knows :)
My psychologist wrote a note stating that she felt I would benefit from a service dog and what one could help me with. I believe most organizations require that just to make sure the service dog is for a legitimate reason!!
@@daryltheservicedog4557 oh okay thanks so much for awnsering!
@@daryltheservicedog4557 what breed is your service dog? Could you please answer if possible
@@ezekielmadzele7480 he is a mutt! My best guess is a lab/Dutch shepherd mix but I don’t know for sure
@@daryltheservicedog4557 Was he a rescue? And did he ever have reactivity or aggression? I want my rescue dog to become an SD but he has reactivity issues and I don't think he'll be able to get over them.
Cash dose all of these but get meds.
