My dog isn't trained to be a emotional support dog but I'm a thousand percent sure he's doing the job :)
horses and Conor Maynard are life esa’s don’t need training
@@corettahall72 That's true. And they dont have public acces so whats the point of getting one? I say if you really need a dog to go out and about with you then get a trsined service dog :)
Mikayla exactly!
@@corettahall72 :)
Mickey the problem is a trained service dog can cost more than paying for college 😔
Cavs are just perfect ESAs. They want nothing more than to love us and make us feel better if we’re having anxiety or depression problems ❤️😭❤️
Kat White I have a dog and anxiety (badly) so need a ESA
What's the name of the breed again?
not sure what an esa is. those dogs play basketball? could use one
Lisa Short King Charles cavalier
@@lisashort2292 King Charles spaniel cavalier im pretty sure ( or in some sort of order like that - its a pretty long name ) 🥰✨
My mom is getting me an emotional support animal I need one because I have depression I’ve been waiting for a dog my whole life
Kayla the Singing Queen I need one for my stammer but I live in Scotland I and Idk how to get one I need help anyone with tips
that’s my exact situation
Grace Martin Unfortunately I don’t believe support animals is practice in terms of mental health but rather a physical disabilities in the uk but do have a second look around.
Vida-Joda Kigundu I think it’s neurological like other mental health issues and I have anxiety that Spurs it on but it’s because of it (I’m a bit like the Spider-Man meme)
Kayla the Singing Queen I have anxiety and autism and my border collie puppy may be trained to be a ESA
i'm a simple person: i see a dog in the thumbnail, i click
Thank you for the information. Due to my health, I have been stuck at home for many years now and I have slowly been getting more depressed so I’m looking into Cavs as a companion. I love watching your page!
I'm getting one soon for depression
Nice :)
Yea everyone and their mom
R u in high school
zombiekush760 yep
Brooklynn Hall Brooklynn I think I’m falling into depression slowly but surely because every day at school I feel so pressured and sometimes I wish I was in heaven
What really makes me mad is when people think ESA’s can only be dogs. ESA’s can also be cats or a rabbit, anything. People just lean more towards dogs cause they think they are smart and can help them. My ESA is a cat and she’s amazing and very affectionate. I’ve on,y had her for a week and she’s helped me a lot with my severe depression and anxiety. Support all animals in being an ESA, not just dogs :)
A relative has ESA cats and they are very helpful.
This video was extremely helpful. Thank you so much for this!
I'm glad you had a sympathetic medical provider. I worked with a lady that had to have her black Lab with her at all times. She had super anxiety problems. By the way, I love the 'bubbles' with the thoughts of the Cavs! XXX
Very interesting information. Cavaliers are my favorite dogs. Herky is the spitting image of one of my former fur babies. The comments by the dogs are so funny..they crack me up!!
Thank youuu, been looking forward to this topic from you :)
I love how Herky is so tranquil when you twirl her ears😚. It’s one of my favorite parts to rub & massage. So soft, warm, and surprisingly heavy😳. And I would say 99% of dogs love having their ears played with. Great information in the video & I laughed out loud with the “I’m my own Boss” and “Thank God because I’m not trained for that” thought bubbles 😆. Hope your Canker Sore gets better soon😘
This was the first video I’ve seen on this channel!!! Very informative!
Love this video, Mai!! Super informative and sweet!!
I understand why emotional support animals aren't allowed in public areas that don't allow animals, but I honestly think they should be. There are many different types of anxieties, but as someone with social anxiety, I would think an emotional support animal would be very useful. I don't know, that's just my opinion. Also, while discussing emotional support dogs with my mother (we've been considering getting one for me due to my fairly recent mental health diagnoses), she brought up the fact that it would be nice if there was a card of sorts, like an id, to verify for those who ask. That would likely make it a lot easier to prove if you really do have an emotional support animal (due to all the people who try and fake them). I thought that was an interesting idea, and thought of it while watching this video.
If someone needs their esa out in public with them like that they should see if they qualify for a Psychiatric service dog and yes some people think having ID cards would be good but that would not stop fakes from making their own or what about the people who owner train these are some of the problems faced when coming up with a solution hopefully we will find one soon
Shay Rego agreed, ESA’s should not be allowed public access since they’re not trained. This makes it hard for service dog teams :/
Emotional Support Animals don't have to be trained and no one with a TRAINED SERVICE DOG wants someones pet barking, lunging, annoying them when their dog has an important job to do; detect blood pressure, seizures, passing out etc.
If you train your ESA, sure, but then it's really just up to the owners to be honest and remove their ESA if it acts out (which very few do currently).
Shay Rego ???
Emotional support animal bring Comfort only. Not to mention that they aren't trained. Emotional support animals are just there so you can pet them BUT only at home. Service animals are animals we depend on and need. Without them we could die.
also a dog used for Anxiety or any other mental health issue, is called a psychiatric service dog. Esa dogs are basically regular pets but you don't have to pay a pet fee for your house..
I actually have depression and I need a ESA for I can hope to stay happy/still want to be alive
“folks are usually about as happy as they make up their minds to be.” -Abraham Lincoln
Bandana zX that quote is such bullshit. i'm sorry if that's rude but that's not how it works with depression at all
Elizabeth Taylor I agree because I have depression but it’s something positive :)
@@thelizzfizz Don't be such a snowflake. Nobody likes pretentious attention whores.
Bandana zX gosh your ignorant
Your dogs are too cute!!! The thought bubbles over Herky and Milton’s heads are hilarious!!!
Thank you so much for talking about this. I will be going into housing soon and will need an emotional support dog
Thank you so much for this video! I was one of the people who requested it. I really do think a cav would be a great help for me emotionally. I dream about the day I can take one home to be part of our family!
this is so helpful thanks!!
You're welcome Catherine! Glad it helped!
Sounds amazing! Love you guys!
BlastCastGo ❤️❤️❤️
Great video, thank you!!!
I love your videos, so helpful! I'm hoping to get a Cavalier in the fall when the breeder I found has a litter. I'm excited and will definitely look into ESA for my new girl.
Monika Martins Adopt don’t shop
I live in Portugal, I’m from Spain and I have one of my dogs like an ESA, now I know that I can have my two dogs like that! Thank you so much because both are my therapy and my doctor doesn’t know that both dogs can be ESA together 💖. I just come from the USA, I travel with my frenchie as my ESA and my boyfriend travels with my yorkie to make posible to my to travel with both. Thank you a lot ❤️.
I probably need one but the thing is i'm way too anxious to tell anybody-
Love the Jerseys! I really like the music you guys chose in your travel vlog series 🎵💕Made me smile.
I use l-lysine and swish with melaleuca oil, warm salt water, and mild peroxide if I get canker sores. Really helps!
Yes! I use 1000 iu vitamin C and Lysine daily to keep them at bay, and I double it during an outbreak to get them gone quicker. It really works! I started taking it daily after I got 16 canker sores at once. I also got a scrip for something called Magic Mouthwash which really soothes the symptoms.
I'm going to try the other things you mentioned next time! Thanks!
I have a Cavalier (Tesla) and she is my baby! I got her in 5th grade when I first started having clinical depression (my parents thought I could use a friend that couldn't stab me in the back lol) and the first year of college has been surprisingly hard without her. Tesla has very bad separation anxiety and her sister (another cavi who was 15) died last July. Tesla doesn't play or eat much when I leave. Tesla has training but isn't a certified ESA. My parents and I have been wanting to get her certified for the sake of me and her. This video was a lot of help :)
Herky and milton are so lucky to have an owner like you!😊
Aww thank you! I'm lucky to have them ;)
I kinda hate the way she went about this video. She started it off with a story about how she basically registered her dogs because she wanted to be with them 24/7 and bring them with her places where dogs weren’t allowed, as well as using examples of how people just use ESA as an excuse to have dogs in pet-free housing. I understand that these are benefits of ESA, but that is not what they are intended for. ESA is for people to have an animal to help them with serious mental issues, not because they want to bring their dog on a plane. I don’t know this woman’s backstory or her own mental struggles and this is not me claiming that she’s abusing this program, I am however saying that she is presenting this as if it’s just an easy way to have your dogs wherever and whenever you want.
Kat Rose I agree. I actually struggle with a lot of mental issues and the process i am currently going thro just to get my dog qualified.
But she covered that’
She gets anxiety being without her dogs when traveling. Did you not watch the video?
Es Iscool OG it looked like a douche that would rather record than rescue
excaliber no she told a story about herself this has hardly anything to do with the stated video topic
I have ADHD and am thinking of getting a ESA, when I get a dog. I'm so excited because to get one. Thanks for the video.
THANK YOU SO MUCH
I have a emotional support dog and he helps me with my depression he’s the best
Im getting an ESA in April she is a Toy Poodle i suffer from mental illnesses, Ptsd, major depression, anxiety, bordeline bp can't wait to get her im so excited
You are such a great dog mom☺
Thank you Sarah! They make it easy to be a dog mom ;)
Loved the video my son has autism nonverbal but certain sounds or music makes him cry and having our dog around him and if the girls know of his condition they right away go to him to soppurt him 😢 like if they know how to make him happy and if it's a really melt down they cry with him
Yes, Herky’s breed can suffer seizures. Thank you for sharing.
I’m getting a esa soon for my depression/anxiety.
Cutest little helper dogs.
Thank you for the info! I have another question, when you travel by plane, do you need to put the dog in a crate or carrier? Your lap? Under the seat? Please elaborate.
Ive been suffering alot lately with anxiety and over the recent week its got worse then its been before and my mom mentioned getting a service dog
When she gave examples of conditions that Esas help with she said panic attacks just wanted to say that if it is Severe enough it might qualify for a service dog same with anxiety or some other Psychological disorders
Hey! I love your videos! Thanks to you my parents agreed to take a Cavalier!! Btw if you’re searching for a video idea could you do an IQ Test on Herky and Milton? Kisses.
LOL does that exist?! If so I'd love to try haha
Yes! You can easily find them on google by typing: IQ Test for your dog. It’s a bunch of little things you have to do with your dogs with a timer, and they have points for the choices they make. At the end, you have a scaling system who tells you where your dog is. WARNING: This is a test on the internet BUT you can always see them as the most clever in the world. It’s just fun to see how your dog would react. Kisses
My dog is not trained... But he saved my life... He is my reason to live
Does this work across countries? I live in France but my family lives in the US. I want my cavalier to be recognized in both countries.
I've been thinking I need to do this. I have a Cavalier just like Herky and I hate the thought of leaving her on vacation and it gives me a lot of anxiety. It's like here I thought my dog was the one with separation anxiety but I guess I got it as well.
I got my ESA today!♥️
You got your fake ESA today.
Oldbatwit what makes you think that?
Another excellent presentation..!! I am thinking about traveling with my Havachon....Gloria....who has separation anxiety and me, too.......I may do the ESA because, we are lost without each other..!! ;D THANK YOU...!!
So I have a question for an apartment if you signed a contract whatever it is will it be okay ? Even if it’s emotional support dog?
I'm suffering from anxiety ,depression and panic attack and I really think a emotional pet would help me because I live alone
Hi there this is my first time on your site and I found it very informative. I have a question for you. My husband suffers from bipolar 1 disorder, and I was wondering if that would qualify and if so what would the steps be in order to be able to get a dog? Thank you in advance for your answer. Have a great day.
Hi! Will you please talk about how you have 2 esa's at once? Do you need two separate letters?
Recently I been in a really dark place where I literally been braking down often ! feeling hopeless and also having this uncomfortable feeling to even try to talk to people I don't know if wanting to get a esd would help but I dunno I would like to feel some comfort happiness again I need to do more research !
Thank YOUU
Herky reminds me of my 1st Cavalier girl.
5:03 yeah that's basically how it is for me with my health issues. it's the same thing for a person.
For panic attacks (quite severe ones) would a esa or service dog be in need
THEY ARE SO CUTE AND I LOVE YOU SO MUCH FOR THE MOST AMAZING THING YOU ARE DOING
Can you get a esa if you think you have depression and anxiety but you don’t know for sure
Addy Bohms consult your doctor! :)
How come they dont bark and do toileting while on the plane? Where can my dog get training to be in cabin with me? What do you think is the max hours a dog can travel in cabin? I travel to Asia yearly and I want to bring my dog withme
i have social anxiety and persistent depression along with other mental disorders and i've been thinking of getting a esd for a while. though it might be a while until i get one.
But, you are only allowed one dog? How do you get two dogs on the airline? Thanks for your info.
I too have wondered about this...am considering two Cavaliers.
A person can have more than one service dog. Example: One HIGHLY trained for seizure where the other is HIGHLY trained for mobility and retrevals. OR you can have a In-Home Service Dog and a regular Service Dog. And In-Home Service Dog would mainly act as a pet in the sense that it would stay inside but it would still have housing rights like normal SDs. The reason it would be an In-Home only is because it might be aggressive towards certain people, animals, things, but can still task or sense seizures, black outs, low blood pressure etc. :)
she has her husband so they are allowed two
Shay Rego ACTUALLY you seem very misinformed. Someone might have a small dog for seizure alert but s big dog fit mobility
They only allow a dog if they are an esa or a service animal no one really has two service animals or esa
Is there an ESA form that the doctor/psychiatrists fills out or do they just type one up and then sign it? Thanks
You are the best
You are the sweetest, Emma!
I actually don't know if I have depression. I do have SOME symptoms of depression but does that technically make me depressed
Bijoux Searles I would talk to your doctor
I really want a ESA but my mom dosent like dogs... i have ptsd and have terrible panic attacks and get scared a lot in school so me and my dad and my therapist thought that it would be a good idea to get an ESA but I don't know how to convince my mom to any help or ideas? Also thank you for being so open about your emotional support animals!
Tori Brakey idk about an ESA but for ptsd I think you need a service dog?
Omg is so funny you had me my with the dog pop ups
It's a thing we add to all our videos :D
Are ESA’s a thing only in the USA? I live in Europe and I’m just wondering if it would be possible with my puppy
I was wondering that, too. From what I've googled it seems to be an North American thing, sadly. Apparently not all European airlines etc. acknowledge ESAs. I've also got the impression that it's significantly harder to get one here than overseas.
NO!!!
Nadina L in the USA it’s a whole lot easier to get a esa but I’m pretty sure you can get one in Europe but it will be a lot harder
@@keithm1138 Why are u shouting?
Are there any funds available to assist a family in purchasing an ESA? My granddaughter is bi-polar and this seems to the be the most recommended assistance for her, but the cost is so much my family cannot afford the dog. Thank you
Farmhouse 17 ESA is any animal, not just dog :) put I wouldn’t get a pet as an ESA until the family is financially stable. As any pet, something may happen and that leaves to vet visits. Got to think about food, beds, shampoo, shots, ect. :)
Thank cavalier chanel:)
I'm finding it so hard to find a breeder for the Cavalier, any suggestions?
Pets4homes on google
I have depression and pretty bad ocd. Would I be a good candidate for an esa? How should I go about asking my mother for one?
Should I get a support animal then or a service dog? Cause I have high anxiety, nightmares of me killing and then being scared of myself, and wanting to harm myself. (I did and even have passed out a couple of times and hit my head and have panic attacks )
About 2 months ago I was diagnosed with anxiety. But I've had anxiety attacks all throughout my life. When I get them I feel so many things but manly I just feel alone and like I'm just getting swallowed up by the universe and to get through the lonely feeling I self harm. I've been thinking of asking my therapist if they think an ESA could benefit me because I just live in constant fear and when I get anxiety attacks the hit out of the blue and all at once and I just want someone there but I also don't because I'm so scared people will judge me and so I just want an animal i can hold so I'm not alone anymore and I have so.etching there that cares and loves me and wants to help me and I don't have to feel as though I'm burdening someone. Any advice from anyone?
Noelle Baird I think an ESA would be great! Just make sure you’re financially stable! Think about the money you’ll spend on food, vet visits for shots, bowls, leashes, etc. And to make sure you have the time for the dog :) hope this helps
My mom has Parkinson's as well, will this be good for her
Also, I have a lot of anxiety and stress. But I feel like my dog wouldn't be a good ESA because he's really hyper and barks a lot. Also, he hates cars/planes.
Hi i need an esa and im german. I cant find any Tipps what exactly has to be written in the physician letter. Are two esa allowed for one Person?(just asking because you habe 2 dogs...
What physician can write the letter?just mental or others also?
I have schizoaffective disorder which is schizophrenia and bipolar disorder made into one diagnosis so I have both. I also have PTSD from being sexually assaulted. Would I qualify for a psychiatric service dog or would I need an ESA?
Rachael King I would recommend a psychiatric SD :) ESA may help while you’re at home, but have no public access rights. Service dogs are task trained to your disability and can help alert you when you’re about to have an episode of some sort, Hope this helps!
talk to your doctor, you may be able to
Friendly reminder that ESA’s only have housing access, and you can’t take them into non-pet friendly places. ESA’s are very different from service dogs, and just bring comfort as a pet. They are not specifically task trained. I’ll be happy to answer any questions in the comments!
Hi so I have a huge depression,anxiety and ptsd (post traumatic stress disorder) and I really want and need an ESA because I have most of my anxiety attacks in school but my therapist hasn’t talked to me about one. What should I do?
talk to your doctor
can professional counselors give u the note for them? or is it only therapists? confused please help
I have extremely bad separation anxiety. I can’t go to my school washrooms alone. I am still quite young and I’m a little scared to ask my parents about it. But I would love your opinion on it all! Have a grate day!
I used to have extremely bad depression and anxiety. I never told anyone bc I didn't want to worry anyone (which made me feel super alone) and my dog helped me so much. When she died though, and a few months after my mawmaw passed also, I went into a severe depression. I begged my parents for another animal to help me. I leave for college in 2 years and im hoping i can get my animal registered as an emotional support one so they will allow me to have her in my dorm. Im worried bc I've denied my depression from my doctor so much....Any advice?
So I’m dealing with some stuff (depression) but I haven’t told my parents and such. I starting cutting my arm. My parents are probably the main reason. I just feel worthless and out of place. I don’t know if I should tell anyone but I want help. I know I need it but I don’t know how to get it. With dealing with depression and cutting what would be the best thing to do? If I were to get a service animal of some sort what would it be?
Perfect Pet Paradise you should talk to your parents about your problems and stop cutting yourself, or seek counseling at school , just speak to someone whose willing to listen and help you
I have anxiety and depression plus OCD. Could i get an emotional support dog? My mom said she would talk about it with my dad
I have an emotional pet his name is Maynard and he's a cat he's a bangle I've had him since he was too tiny and I have severe anxiety and sometimes trouble breathing and ever since I got him he'll sit on my chest and you will purr and breathe until my heart rate goes back to where it should and I am breathing the way I should anytime I don't feel well he knows before I do and he is now 8 years old so anybody says a cat cannot be an emotional pet they're crazy actually I find him very soothing and very comforting I also have a dog as well and they get along great so that's also for an emotional companion for both me and the cat and the exercise so emotional cats work too you know
Do the therapists/ psychiatrist help you find an animal or do you have to find one on your own?
I have been wanting a dog to just have a dog to help me with my stuff I have depression anxiety and have really bad panic attacking and I have asked my mom and she said idk because I heard that they really help and I could really use that help because one time i had such a bad panic attacking that I passed out and I was shaking really bad and I felt like I had fell into a void that I could never get out of it was so scary I started to not eat and it got really bad but I am past that now and I have not had one so bad since but I have had pretty bad ones and sometimes I’ll just have a big melt down and I feel like maybe a esa would help me out a lot but I’m not sure what do you think ?
I have depression and anxiety and think that this would help me but what is my mom or therapist or psychiatrist say that it is not fit for me or something like that. it's just a concern I have.
Cool
Hey I did have a quick question. So i have a 7 month Rottweiler and I have been training him to be a service dog but I did want him to be my ESA, I'm in the Marines and wanted to know how would I be able to take him on the plane with me seeing how hes pretty big. Thanks again for the info.
If you need an ESA, why the fuck are you in the marines?
Thank you for clearing up some misconceptions I had about where you took your girls! Also I heard that any type of online registration is fake?
If your Dr. tells you to go online to get a form, what do you do?
Mike Rogers Your physicist has to write a letter for you.
Mike Rogers get a new doctor who knows what they are doing....
@@mikerogers331 Tell them that that isn't legal and there is no form/registrations for service animal and that your doctor must write a letter for you.
You are correct. They are fake.
I’m having a severe anxiety attack right now. I’m incredibly afraid of the ocean. I can’t look at or hear about the ocean or large bodies of water. My anxiety right now is through the roof. I’m crying and I’m incredibly scared and I can’t deal with it. I’m crying so much. I can’t look at pictures of the ocean or hear about the ocean. I don’t know if this means I should get an emotional support animal or not but I really need advice. Please anything will help.
How can I get one for both me and son? Both us have seizures and always alone
Do you qualify for an emotional support animal if you have sensory processing disorder because I have been having a lot of sensory overloads lately. I also have a lot of symptoms for bipolar disorder and adhd, I have not yet seen a doctor. I also have mild anxiety.
ADHD and bipolar, Are mental disorders so yes you can get one.
I have anxiety, and I’m taking antidepressants for depression.
But I was wondering- sometimes I have panic attacks were I end up doing the following: Scratching my legs and arms, pulling my hair- sometimes pulling hair out, and hitting myself (often my head).
I’m afraid to bring it up to my mother since I’m only 15, and I don’t want her to think that it’s an attention thing or because I just want a dog (because I asked for a dog awhile ago).
Does anyone think I should bring it up, or think I should qualify for one and have a talk with my doctor?
FreckledWitch same well I’m not taking antidepressants but when I do get an attack I do the same thing.
so i've already been professionally diagnosed with general/social anxiety and depression, and though i'm only 14, can i get an emotional support animal?
Whelp I'll talk to my theripest any thing u particularly need to say (btw my animals make me calmer)
My dog is a 2 year old Bernese Mountain Dog Border Collie Mix and she's 35 pounds. She helps me with my anxiety/panic attacks, my autism, and depression at home though I'd like her to be my ESA. She's very sweet, loving, and calm and doesn't mind people or other dogs, do you think she would be a good ESA for me? She is also a bit protective of me as well.
She also helps with my seizures
I wish i could get an Emotional support dog, ive had depression, anxiety, and a bit of schizophrenia my whole life and I'd love to have a dog that can comfort me
talk to your doctor there are psychiatric service animals and you may be worthy of one
@@julieeverett7442 how should I go about it. This past year has been difficult and Ive been in a very low place recently
@@Mmmsandwich speak to your doctor, he or she will assess you and if needed you have the option of getting a dog from those who train them or you can train them your self for a specific chore. But first talk to your doctor
My apartment is not pet friendly, however. My downstairs neighbor has a cat. My psychiatrist highly recommends that I have an emotional support dog due to my anxiety. She wrote a letter to my LL expressing her opinion on the importance of me being allowed to have an EMSA . My question is how do I approach my LL and express the importance of each getting one.
