Service Dog Training - Shopping cart, Obstacles and Distractions

- This video goes over some exercises for service dog public access that you can play in your home and yard. I hope this video will inspire service dog teams to work on their dogs skills while sheltering in place in their homes. These exercises are specifically for teaching the dog to walk near the handler even when there are obstacles, a shopping cart ahead and distractions. Even if there wasn’t a coronavirus outbreak I still believe it’s a great idea with ANY dog to proof the behaviors you are going to ask your dog to perform in public in your home.

Splash is so chill it's hilarious
she is the most chill border collie I have ever met
So grateful for this service dog content! My girl turned out reactive so unfortunately she will not be a good candidate, but I'm dedicated to teaching her to be the best version of herself and guiding her through her reactivity. Practicing SD-type stuff is great training practice for both of us. A lot of the SD training videos I come across use aversives so I'm glad to see a trainer I know I can trust putting out SD content :)
Im sorry to hear :( That is so awesome that you are teaching her to be the best version of herself :)
I love your videos. I don't even have a dog. Just dream of having one! I find your videos relaxing and practical.
Stay safe.
Awe thanks :) :) :)
Riva, back when I had no dogs and was just dreaming of having one, I used to watch all the training videos I could get my hands on, day in and out, and it really prepared me for when the day finally came when I got my first dog. I felt prepared from the start and could avoid so many beginner mistakes that way. :)
@@Haferkoko I'm glad you are living your dream. Love to you and your dog.😊❤😊 stay safe.
Hoodiebird yah I’ve researched sooo much now and can’t wait to finally get one
This is awesome. I have not been able to take my sd out I now feel better about working/cleaning while playing/training. Today I vacuumed and washed a rug while my dog played on the porch next to me doing this. It was a tight small space but she did it and had fun, perfect distraction and machine training, who knew-lol. Then she went to go lay on it so I hung it on the railing and trained walking circles around cars in our driveway. I probably looked crazy but fortunately I live in the country so who cares. All good, I don't take her as I would have to bathe her when I got back, we strip when we get back from the store and wash just in case. Crazy times. Keep sharing, you do great work.
Yes, I shower before and after I go to the store . I shower before just in case I am a carrier with no signs.
@@kikopup stay safe, loss of smell can be a sign many do not realize. Praying for good health, are you getti by help and do you have to quarantine? What about your pups what preparations need to happen for that? Be safe.
@@kikopup DO NOT USE IBOPROFEN NOR ASPIRIN, it can mask symptoms then make them 10 x worse, use acetaminophen.
Thanks for sharing this! I have a herding breed mix and we're working on our general heeling and focus skills. This looks like a great way to add some variety to our indoor activities while we're spending so much time at home. Love the way you broke down working with the cart in the living room.
Oh my dog!! I have been looking for good service dog training videos because I may be owner training my own puppy and you are such a great trainer! Please make more! Tasking tutorials would be incredibly helpful
thanks :) Im not an expert on most task stuff that involves scent detection etc. I leave that to trainers who have had way more experience than I. but as for public access and the tasks that are just behaviors in response to a visual or sound cue I can do.
THNK YOU for the herding breed tips I would LOVE more of those!
This is what I was going to say, too! I never would have thought about a possible cart fixation in herding terms!
Really enjoyed the video. Your training techniques have made me a much better dog owner. Thank you! ❤️
thanks!
Oh my god, THANK you!!! I have a 6 month old puppy and I want tot train her in some service dog tasks as I'm in a wheelchair. This video came right on time!
:)
Thank you so much for your videos..... I have a dogs boarding center in dubai. It’s informative and became addiction to watch your videos.
Thank you so much for this. I'm unemployed with a self-trained service dog prospect at 7 months and these sorts of videos make a world of difference for people that can't afford professional help but need a service dog. Do you have guides on teaching dogs to ignore other people/dogs? I socialized my puppy heavily when he was young and he's naturally very outgoing so now whenever he sees a person or dog he just wants to go greet them. That's really the only concern I have about his SD abilities. Otherwise he's doing great with his service tasks and public access training.
Oh that sounds awesome! :) Email me at dogmanticsstore@gmail.com But basically you could teach a default leave it from people like im doing with the food. And you can have people he already met and is bored of like family members in your living room, practicing trying to do all the stupid things people do to get his attention- you could even add it to the obstacle course and shopping cart scenario above. Have a family member saying "OH! what a cute dog!!!' "Can I pet him!?" and stick their hand out, crouching, and making kissy noises at your dog... all that nonsense you can train as cues to mean look at you instead.
You could also could have your dog wait to greet people. Having him stay in a heel and focusing on you before he is allowed to greet people will get him to wait for permission. Like she said above start this with people he is bored of. Best of luck to you and your service dog!
Thank you for this! I’m struggling so hard not being able to bring my SDiT out to dog friendly stores for training so this is so helpful 🙏
Oh good! I am glad you found it helpful!
Excellent video! Some of these drills would be beneficial to new parents as well, if they need to bring their their baby along when they walk the dog. There's probably a lot to think about as far as safety is concerned, though...
Yes I didnt think about that. I guess it depends on the dog and the safety of the baby carriage.
@@kikopup One great tip I came across is to practice before the baby arrives. So bringing an empty stroller when walking the dog. We did not have a dog when the kids were babies, but I think it could be quite the challenge to run a household with a dog and a baby.
Yes! I brought my 7 year old into the store with pup in training and I found it difficult to maneuver with kiddo with us lol. It was a little confusing for pup. So I've stuck to having my kiddo to stay on one side and pup on the other and sometimes pup with change sides depending on who or what we are near. It is difficult to get him to stay on one side.
A great clip with such useful training cues. Bum in when reversing and turning and using a trolley and chair are such handy suggestions for training at home. Thank you
Yes!!! Ive been waiting patiently for service dog specific videos! Thank you so much, continue your great work Emily and pups!
thanks!
Omg so helpful! Thank you 🙏
Accidentally hit thumbs down while trying to hit the thumbs up- gah fat thunbs! Sorry. Love this
Hi Emily!
:) Hi Sammye! Hope your business is doing well in these hard times :)
Love this. We just got a puppy and I’m hoping I can use her as a service dog. Going in circles make me light headed so that exercise may be a bit challenging for me lol
oh yeah do change it you can go in a huge square or just turn left then right again equally etc
Thank you so much for including the disclaimer. My retired SD was attacked in a store by (presumably) someone's pet.
I am so sorry to hear that. My dog Halo was as a puppy lunged at by THREE fake service dogs.... like within a month... :( But not attacked, However my other dogs have been attacked by dogs but thankfully not fake service dogs...
@@kikopup that's just awful. I love what you're doing with your channel and how you've been sharing more about Halo's journey to become a service dog!
thank you so much!! i won’t be using this video immediately, but i’m getting a black lab puppy at the end of april. i am going to be owner training her to be my service dog for multiple mental disabilities i suffer with and i’m very scared of how public access work is going to go
Honestly, I think people are WAYY more respectful of dogs and puppies now... than they were before so I feel like puppies being socialized right now are having way less bad things happen to them.
Ruby In Service How exciting, good for you 😀 I watched all of Kikopup’s videos while waiting to receive a black lab puppy. Although we also went to a clicker puppy training class, and then a clicker juvie training class. Keep in mind, don’t get nervous when you take your pup out to train, it’s a pup, so don’t let anything rattle you or feel judged in any way. As your bond with the pup grows your confidence will too! Training becomes a delight, as it should be. Enjoy and much success wished to you and your new best friend
So helpful! Wish I had more thumbs to put up for your pawsome videos! 🙏🏼
Thank you for this will give us something to work on!
Very nice video we’re in England
Thanks :)
Hi Emily, first of all your videos are helping me a lot I have a 2 months old Dachshund thanks!!
I would like to ask if you have any book recommendation of introduction to training and handling
Thanks!!!
Regards from Argentina
How do you exercise your high drive dogs at this time? My little Malinois is crazy and I really miss going out for walks with her. Ever since she's been fully vaccinated I haven't had a chance to go to a proper walk out on a field :(
Well, sadly I had to do crate rest for Halo because he had an operation and for wish for months because of a strained muscle... So I know how horrible it is when space and movement is limited. I suggest doing more training sessions learning new behaviors and focusing on calmness during the behaviors. I dont suggest working on arousing stuff as tricks that can get the dog revved up.
You can train your Mal to walk on the treadmill (my personal favorite if you have one), or a dog walker to take him on runs.
@@kikopup Thank you, I need to work more on calmness and puppy biting, she gets soo bitey when she gets tired or overly-aroused, but I must admit I'm probably encouraging it sometimes. Your videos are saving my sanity :P
I hope Halo and Wish are doing well. Stay safe
Thank you for speaking up about fake service dogs!
Do you have any recommendations for helping a naturally skittish dog thats a SD prospect?
He's 9 months and hes been pretty jumpy since I got him at 8 weeks.
We've improved it a good bit. By creating our training system, with a clicker and giving him choices and slowly exposing him to new things and places and trying to go at his pace and make sure he has choices and is rewarded for good mental state.
But its still his biggest struggle. He's fantastic with everything else. A really great SD prospect all around.
But his fear makes me worried whether he's going to make it in the long run.
It's never at any one specific thing. It's just anything 'new'.
New place, new people, new objects
Once hes exposed to it over a long period of time, hes fine. But it takes awhile. And it's every single thing. Which, naturally, makes it incredibly difficult to properly positively reinforce in new places. Single objects sure. Single people. Sure, or he can ignore and move passed. But new places, he becomes instantly overwhelmed.
From something as little as a New room of a house, a new car, or if We've moved things around in a room enough that it looks different. These examples get the most minimal reaction but its still obvious hes nervous and antsy.
Public access training is a no go. He's perfectly well behaved but i know he's entirely overwhelmed so i don't.
I've noticed working him in new places on a long line helped. Like walks down the street we couldn't do before.
He's nervous Sttill but he's more willing to explore and check the scary things out.
He doesnt really transfer the experiences to new places though so i have to start from the beginning every new place. Which. I can't let him long line in walmart. So that's a no go.
I just wanted to know if you had any additional suggests for helping him through this?
I know age is a factor. Being an only 9 month old golden.
He's excellent as a pet, I just worry if he'll make it as a SD. If i can help him through this or if its something i shouldnt bother with and just focus on him as a pet.
Thanks in advance.💙
Confidence building for sure. He also sounds like he is at the right age for a fear period so take things even slower.
Some fun things to do while under quarantine are playing games where they are walking over strange surfaces like plastic bags or a stack of shoes or cardboard ect.
Cardboard mountain is another fun game. Depending on how "skittish" you pup is you might start with one box and the treats outside of it and then work your way towards many boxes stacked inside or on top of each other with treats inside for them to get to.
Fear is one of the biggest reasons for a wash since service dogs need to be sound in lots of environments.
Freedom walks are also a great option. Allowing the pup lots of space and freedom on a long line attached to a y-harness and allowing them to explore the environment at their pace.
Space is always your friend. So whenever possible just make sure you can lower criteria and let the pup back away when they feel unsure.
Darn. I feel for you. Sometimes it just doesn't feel fair. It is hard to know with a 9 month old. But of course it would be nice to have a happy go lucky puppy. I suggest when the coronvirus crap is over... having lots of 1 on 1 visitors, build trust person by person, dog by dog. At the moment you can visit places that are empty- no people no dogs and see if its just a new environment that also stresses your dog, or if its the social aspect.
Just wanted to compliment you on your willingness to accept your dog may not be up to SD work. Too many people have unrealistic expectations and push unsuitable dogs into a lifestyle they can't handle. Best of luck and really hope you can push through and have success !
My dog is a prospective therapy dog, but she was so under socialized as a puppy she’s terrified of people. My trainer suggested to go to places where you can just sit and watch. The goal is that while the dog might be worried about it, by making them just sit and observe after a while they will realize they aren’t dying and that nobody is coming into their space
Do you have any tips for dogs that don't like treats? I am using finger snaps and praise but am not sure if there is a better alternative I am not aware of :)

How on earth do you manage to have the other dogs lay calmly on the couch as you work with just one? Every time I attempt something like that chaos ensues as they all want to do the task and get the reward.
th-cam.com/video/MfRrBH_beX8/w-d-xo.html I have this video showing how to do it using some dogs who came to stay.
Dog Training by Kikopup Wow! Thank you!
Does the training work depending of the breed?
you mean training dogs to be service dogs? Its not breed dependent but some dogs are just not acceptable to be service dogs because of their personality, genetics and possibly early life experiences that shape them. I mean we can teach dogs to behave in public spaces but to actually have a dog who enjoys and feels comfortable working in extremely stressful situations, most service dog breeding programs have about a 50% success rate.
Only thing is real shopoing cart the sound of meta l he may get scared my dog did
Good point! A game for that could be making noises with metal at home, like with utensils and dog exercise pens made of metal. But also training in the parking lot far away from other people with a cart where you are in control of the metal noises.
My 11 month SDIT is very dog reactive and that's one of our hardest obstacle to overcome, do u have any tips?
Do you do public access?
@@valcalmets6233 We've been going to Lowes and Tractor supply to get her socialized around noises and ppl.
@@aly5386 I would stop right away. Get a trainer to help with the dog reactivity. If you keep going to stores and your dog reacts to a dog your reinforcing that behavior to act inappropriately in stores.
A 11 month sdit reactive to dogs Is not sd material at the moment. Your just making the training harder for yourself.
@@valcalmets6233 The only thing shes been doing is getting excited and focused on the dogs. I've been using an E-collar to correct this and shes actually doing better and I'm seeing progress. As for a trainer I'm on the path on getting one.
If you had a baby in the carriage it would be reaching out to touch the dog.
