Types of WORKING DOGS // Service Animal vs Emotional Support Animal (Updated for 2021)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 11 ก.ย. 2024
- In this video, I discussed the different types of working dogs and what makes a dog a service animal vs therapy animal vs emotional support animal. There are many service dog types, and the terminology can get confusing! What about the definition of a search and rescue dog? What about the definition of a psychiatric service dog? SO MANY DOGS!
I also shared the definition of an emotional support dog, the definition of a working dog, what types of service dog are there, and the different types of service dog. I briefly touched on the training requirements and flight requirements for service dogs, emotional support dogs, and therapy dogs. Because the rules changed this year, I also explained the changes to esa access rights in 2021.
At the end, I shared examples to test your knowledge. Can an emotional support animal fly on airplanes? Can a service dog fly on airplanes? What is the training required for a service dog, the training required for an esa, and the training required for a therapy dog? What are the rules for service dogs? What are access rights for esa and what are access rights for service dogs?

Obviously meant aircraft cabin, not aircraft carrier. Keyboard warriors, get out of here!
I love buddy
Go back to Europe, you're on stolen lands, colonial woman.
As someone with an ESA thank you for spreading information. I get so upset with people who try to abuse the esa system and act like it’s a ‘work around’ or equal to a service animal.
Yes! Thank you too! They're essential to their humans, just totally different.
I really appreciate how you covered ESAs in this. So many videos I've seen about ESAs all seem to focus on how people are just taking advantage of the system and making it hard for everyone else. However, they exist for a reason and they're not ALL bad! I have an ESA letter from my therapist allowing me to keep my cat in my apartment to help ease my depression and anxiety. And while it would be nice to be able to snuggle my kittycat on airplanes, I know she would not handle this well- so I would follow the rules and treat her as a pet for the duration of the flight. It's sad that so many people try to get around this without proper public access training. So I guess... from a person with an ESA to a Service Dog Handler, thanks for not throwing ESAs under the bus!
I'm so happy to hear that! So glad you think I did it justice. I do feel like they are suuuuuuper important, there are just 2 (or more!) sides to every story. Wouldn't it be cool if we could have a good citizens test for ANY animal to go on a plane?! SDs included!
As a handler myself, I've had my fair share of "service animals" lunging, barking, etc at me and my dog. I don't want to put a negative light on people who actually need ESA, I'm talking about pet owners. I work in retail so this, unfortunately, happens often. I'm just glad she never reacts and stays focused on me. I have the same point of view about planes and emotional support animals. I've had bad experiences with untrained dogs on planes so I haven't flown anywhere in years. But I also have a lot of kids, even adults, trying to pet my dog in public. The general public knowledge about service animals is lacking proper social standards and information. Love this video and thank you for put this type of information out there. I hope people learn from this and stop bringing their pets into the public.
I can't imagine working in retail with a SD. You must run into so many pups! Thanks for sharing this side of the story 💜
My dogs are ESAs and they help me with different things such as keeping me on task like when I go shopping. I have a tendency to wander or get so overwhelmed with everything in the store and the crowded place that I will literally go in with a list and stay waaaay longer and do not realize it because I become anxious and I buy it carry things around and the more anxious I become the more I end up buying. With having them in the car safely regardless of weather. I know they’re there and I have something to focus on not the overwhelming shopping experience they keep me grounded and I get out of the store sooner knowing they’re there. I would not try to bring them into the store unless it’s a place like Petco or something here dogs are welcome.
Former therapy dog handler... therapy dogs should be registered trained tested and have insurance. They have to pass the canine good citizenship test plus a few other tests in regards to medical equipment and leaving treats or food or medication on the floor when dropped. And it is harder but possible to get a cat certified as a therapy animal.
THANK YOU 💜 Is this for the USA?
@@MommingwithMigraine yes!
This is what I came to say! Yes, yes, and yes 😁
My old science teacher, in my last year at that school, was training a service dog for her mom. Her mom's old service dog was retiring and so she got a puppy and brought him to school (with the principal's consent ofc). She said that the loud, noisy environments from middle school kids would help desensitize him in environments. We were informed of his presence but honestly it was like he was never there at the same time. incredibly cool, I think. I got to see what it was like for service dogs in training (sort of) before I even realized my infatuation with service animals. It's crazy. The first service dog in training I meet, at my own middleschool. And then, since I moved states I saw my first ever service dog. Was hyped for that. The other day, i even saw a fake service dog. Really upset and triggered me, i wasn't able to recover for the first 15 minutes of our shopping trip.
I just thought I'd share. thank you!
How did you know it was fake, and why were you so triggered. Not fussing, just trying to get a better understanding and how to determine when they are fake.
@@ladilondon1213 It's been 2 years (thanks for commenting because I am absolutely cringing at the comment I made lol) but I remember seeing a lot of fake service dogs back when I lived in that state.
the first giveaway is if the dog is in a cart. Even though service dogs are allowed in the store, service dog owners know not to put them in carts because it's not allowed (the sign on the front door says that). You can also tell if the dog has an I.D. on it's vest -- like a "this dog is a service dog, here's their information". This always means the person got their dog's vest from an online scam website that illegally pretends to make your dog a service dog if you pay them 80 dollars. You can also immediately tell if the dog is badly behaved (not walking next to their owner, sniffing products, using the bathroom in the store, not paying attention to the owner, etc). Sometimes it can be hard to tell and if it is then I just give the person the benefit of the doubt and ignore it.
I was triggered because service dogs are a special interest of mine and I have an insane sense of justice (the "I have to have everything right in my moral standard and if it's not I get really mad" kind of sense) so it's taken a long time for me to get to a point where I can just move on and not be angry that another abled person is pretending to have a service dog. Faking a service dog is a crime and it leads to the misconceptions of service dogs. It also causes a lot of harm to disabled people who need service dogs, directly and indirectly (because fake service dogs aren't trained for public access, they act badly. that means that a service dog could be in danger of being attacked or distracted, and the general public isn't educated at all on service animals so it gives everyone the impression that a service dog is meant to act badly and disrupt everyone else's time, which leads to access issues because store owners don't want to have rowdy dogs in their stores.)
I'd love to see a video where you talk about how you trained Buddy! And I mean that both in terms of the public access training and the specific task training. How long did it take you to train him to a place where you felt like you could trust him with your safety? Also, Molly Burke mentioned in one of her videos that she's been denied access in situations where she shouldn't have been. Have you had similar experiences and what was that like? My final question is about the therapy dog one. Since service dogs have the same public access training, would being a therapy dog be an option for retired service dogs who've grown too old for their tasks and/or have become untrained, but are still otherwise healthy and happy and social?
I just looked it up they can I do know that retirement does kill some service dogs so I bet that would be great for them becouse they loss there sense of purpose after retirement becouse they don't want to be a pet
She has A video on how she trained buddy look through her videos, she did A great job training buddy!!!
This is completely irrelevant to the video topic, but: I really like your outfit!
Aw! Sweet! Thanks!
Do I know all of this? Yes. Am I gonna watch it all and watch the ads so I can support you? Also yes.
😭 You're an incredible human. Hope it's not torture even though it's review 🤞😬
From my experience, therapy dogs have to complete classes with specific obedience training in a therapy dog class. My grandma has been doing it for years with her dogs so she can take them to hospitals and nursing homes.
Thank you for this very clear explanation. I wish more people would see the importance of training their animals if they expect to take them in public. Bad behavior in some can ruin it for everyone. There is a woman in my town who claims her dog is a service animal, yet you can tell from it's lack of training that it is not. She is giving service dog handlers a bad name and that is not fair. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be anything we can do about it.
Bad behavior really can ruin it for everyone. SDs have bad days sometimes, but if it's always a bad day, time for some retraining. That's such a bummer 😞
depending on your state laws about misrepresenting your dog as a service dog, and you can report her.
Theory reconfirmed: Buddy is a lap dog and all around good boy. Also freaking adorable!
He really does not understand his size 🤣
I completely get where you are coming from about being happy regarding ESA no longer being allowed in the cabin on airplanes by default.
But that's going to be a huge problem for my friend.
She lost a dog because of a pressure loss in the cargo hold and has been avoiding to ever have to go through something like that again, by getting her other dog in the cabin, thanks to a doctors note saying she needs him as an ESA (which is true, she's suffering from mental illness).
It breaks my heart that she probably won't be able to do that anymore. 😢
That's horrible 😞 The rule just depends on the airline now, so some may still allow ESAs and some allow pets with a pet fee.
Does your friend dog has training? If they do that a service dog.
Buddy: Im being annoying? I just wanna take a nap, I've alerted you several times already ;P
Haha, he's like "can we get this over with so I can go nap on the colder floor please?"
My mom has a therapy dog here in germany and she had to take a year long course and a test for handler and the dog. She works with the dog in a kindergarten, teaching them proper manners around a dog, teaching kids that had bad experiences with dogs and supporting disabled kids or those who just need more support in certain areas.
That's awesome, so cool of your mom! Thank you for sharing.
Most hospitals/schools etc. want therapy dogs to come from organisations that provide certification and insurance for legal reasons. I know that the AKC has a list of therapy dog organizations that they recognize on their website.
Among the best videos I’ve seen as I’m looking for information on how to train my puppy to alert me on my specific needs.
I'm training my 4 month old puppy named, Garrett, to be my ESA and this video actually helped me understand that I've been going about it the wrong way. Thank you!
this is the stuff i like to see.
p.s; I love well-trained ESAs. well trained dogs in general! I'm going to train my dog to be very well-behaved just because it gives me less anxiety about going out in public [on walks and to pet-friendly stores, of course.]
And! this doesn't mean you can't train an ESA to do tasks like a service dog does! This just means that it's an extremely helpful ESA, but doesn't have public access rights because you don't have a disability, and therefore not a service dog.
@@semiautomatic.companion Completely understandable. I'm not trying to say that he is going to be one yet I'm trying to say is that I would like him to be one. I have to wait and see what his true temperament is and that'll be around when he's a year and or two years old and until then I can train him the basic commands and that hands are not chew toys and other stuff like that because he's still a puppy and he likes to chew on everything. Also some people say that depression and panic attacks aren't necessarily reasons to have an ESA or Therapy Dog but I have to say that having my puppy actually helps with stuff like that because I used to not go outside for weeks because of depression and plus I had surgery so add that on top of everything else I was just getting worse but since I had Garrett I'm starting to feel a lot better. Also now he lays on top of me and licks my face when I'm having an 'episode' of what I can only describe as like a wave of every emotional feeling and after it passes I take gim outside to play and give him teats.
Edit I misspelled some words lol sorry
@@snowdrop1752 depression and panic attacks are a good reason to have an ESA I have a dog that is a service dog in training (but in my country you do need all kinds of tests and passes for your dog to actually be a service dog) and I am dealing with depression and lots of panic attacks which my dog helps me with since my dog is really young still and doesn't have rights to lots public places she just wears a patch saying she's and ESA and tbh I have gotten so many hate from people about it and I have some other stuff playing in my life where I need a service dog for but that doesn't matter if you need an ESA or a service dog because it helps you best then it doesn't matter what people say depression and panic attacks are a good reason remember that good luck with training your dog because they sound like an emotional dog so they can feel emotions good👍🏻
@@terrified.little.lamb. absolutely! I agreed. When I wrote and posted the original comment, it was 2 years ago and Garrett is an absolutely amazing ESA/therapy dog! He has great temperament and he's great around other dogs and children. He has been doing more alerts than usual and he wants to stay beside me at all times, which isn't that unusual. Garrett saved my life more than a few times since I got him because once I had an asthma attack and he brought me my bag with my inhaler in it and another time was when I got dizzy and lightheaded behind the wheel and he alerted me so I pulled over and called my dad. Therapy animals are a very important and great.
@@snowdrop1752 o fully understand your issues. If it weren’t for this new pup that keeps me taking it out to potty keep feeding schedules ect like a child I would lay in bed for days and if I go to the store, I would sit there asking myself if I really wanted to go in. It has helped me when it bounces around like a bunny and I here the lil bell I have on it to keep up with it so tiny… it bring me joy… I have been struggling lately and this really helps get my mind off being so sad…
I am so happy I found you. I just watched you're diagnosis video and need to say thank you. I have almost given up on doctors and a real diagnosis. A few months ago I noticed a HUGE change in my symptoms and pretty much get told I'm crazy and lying. My symptoms are crazy debilitating and I'm scared I'm not not going to be able to fulfill my dreams because of migraines. I've tried everything including botox and nothing worked but gave me crazy unwanted side effects.
Very excited to know this information! I'm task training my current doggo as he's aging in hopes that my next doggo will be well planned to be my service dog. For now I have my dog that was brought into the family before sick Maggie came to be. Thank you for this information!
You're welcome! Best of luck with your training!
@@MommingwithMigraine thank you! He's my favourite super stubborn practice buddy for sure.
Thank you for such a useful clip on service animal type clarification, rights and duties in the USA.
Thank you for clarifying these! I've seen so many people mix these categories up, and I've never known how to correct them about it! Again, thank you!
Aw great! You're welcome! ☺
I work at Costco and came across a woman with two young kids that were kinda acting up. She stopped, sighed, and mentioned to me that she has to be careful because she gets dangerous migraines that make her paralyzed! I told her that she can get a service dog for that but likely she would have to do that herself. She looked at her kids and then looked at me and stressfully said "I have no time for that. I just wish my kids would behave for my health! I felt for her! I know there's a lady on YT that has one from her debilitating migraines!
Unfortunately, as an employee of Costco, I have seen some VERY poorly behaved dogs! Some people have them in pet carriages and try to hide them! They become VERY defensive when I simply ask the two questions I can ask "is that a service animal" and "what task does that animal provide for you". The second question can rule out or gain access for an animal. I understand the letter for Psych dogs. Many people don't! I have seen elderly Golden Retrievers that have shaking legs, I've seen dogs poop and pee in the store, I've even heard barking dogs! When I hear a barking dog I rush over for immediate assistance to block off an area and call for help if needed. I will tell you... every time I go to see.. it ends up being a PET! The dog is wagging a tail, looking at me, licking my hand.
Once a man came in with a German Shepherd on a choke chain. I have no clue how he was shopping!
I've seen little dogs on Flexi leads.. some in shopping carts ( of which I say to remove them for sanitary reasons ). I would say 9.9 out of 10 people are HIGHLY defensive when I approach them about it! Our and all Costco stores have an ADA placard outside the entrance of the store. Unfortunately many people cause a fuss and get allowed in.
I have seen people with PTSD dogs that are legitimate! Some people abuse the name PTSD. Just saying.
Haven't even watched the rest of the video yet, but wanted to stop and say thank you for mentioning that the rules are different in different countries. A lot of people learn all about ADA service dog laws which is great...except for when you live in Canada. (It can come in handy when traveling, but who does much of that these days?)
I can’t put into words how valuable your videos have been to me. I’ve learned so much about the migraines I get that I never knew before and as sad as this is, I worked as a veterinary tech/receptionist for 15 years at about 6 different clinics (pains me to say I no longer do for the last 2 years) and I knew next to nothing about service/therapy/emotional support animals. Of course I knew they exist but it was just not something that ever came up as far as the differences and knew absolutely nothing in regard to ID cards/certifications not really being a thing. That being said I was not a registered tech, for all I know some of this information is commonplace knowledge for the RVTs & vets.
Anyway, I love your videos and look forward to them every week! One request? Give Buddy snuggles for me!!
Aww thank you so much for your support, I love to hear that my content helps! Hope you're able to get back to it, sounds like you really liked it 💜
@@MommingwithMigraineI just feel SO guilty that I was potentially part of the problem with the ID/certification issue - I can distinctly recall multiple clients saying they were going online to get the paperwork and I didn’t know anything about it to try and educate them as to why they absolutely should not do that and how severe of a problem they were adding to by ordering those certificates since I obviously knew their pets weren’t service dogs. In fact I don’t recall any reasonings other than to be shady and get around the system so to speak.
Also random question (IM JUST ASKING, NOBODY YELL AT ME PLEASE!) Do you think it would make it better or worse if the ADA did start issuing ID cards for service dogs? if anything could it alleviate all the BS handlers have to deal with when going places? I’ve seen way too many videos of handlers being harassed by employees. Maybe I’m just naive in thinking it would help?
This was very helpful! I'm about to get a migraine alert dog and my doctor gave me their prewritten note for emotional support animal because they already have it written and use it more often than service dog notes, but now I know that there is a legal difference at least for airlines so I should get that note specifying service dog. Thanks!
Starting with the little lick on the knee Buddy was alerting for some time more and more urgently of a faint. I'm so glad you have a service dog that is tasked the way he is. Before that would've snuck up on you. He really wants you to lay down. I spent a good portion of the video going hes really getting persistent perhaps you should lay down. Also I could hear the air hunger starting.
He's great 🥰 is certainly interesting to watch back. I didn't notice it in the moment until he was pretty persistent!
I have 2 livestock guardian dogs out protecting my goats. Only certain breeds can be an LGD. A lot of it is innate in their genetics, but a lot of training is also required so the dogs know what behavior is acceptable. My dogs don't get reactive when goat kids jump all over them or a chicken walks by. That required training.
That is so cool! I never would have guessed there was actual training to guard livestock. It always seemed like it was just innate “dog shepherding.” Totally my words to describe what I’ve seen in the movies! 🤦🏻♀️Thanks for the education!
One of my teachers has a puppy who is super friendly and a few of us were trying to convince her to get him certified as a therapy dog so he could come to class she said mabye but I think it was just so she could get back to teaching and is going to continue to send him to doggy day care
Yeah, I have to agree with your teacher here. I don't know what you're trying to pull or whatever, but therapy dogs don't exist just to be brought to school. It's quite literally like training your dog, getting a certificate and then volunteering to bring your dog to places that ask for you. besides, therapy dogs have to be trained in obedience and it takes a while. maybe half a year. being a therapy dog is a big job, you can't just use it as an excuse to have him come to school. The school has to allow it, first.
Therapy Dogs are used to go into Hospitals and Rehab Centers to visit patients, cheer them up, and sometimes lie on the bed with them. They also go into schools and public Libraries.
There's an organization called Bark Dogs that go to school s and have the low readers practice reading to them .(they tell the kids the dog is in training and reading to the dog helps it learn to be still. They don't know they were chosen because they are reading below their grade level.
Always appreciate your videos! This is so helpful!
I'm so happy you made this video I'm a service dog handler and I get asked these questions all the time. I'm just going to share your video to them as you explained this info so well.
Huge compliment! Thanks 😊🙏
Very well said and explaind!!
Hiiiii can you please please please share with me some of your fav videos you used to train buddy!?
Your videos are my favs but I need moreeeee examples of how to train them! Lol!
Loved the meerkat command! 😍
☺💜
I've been looking for a good video about this exact subject all week ! Thank you !
I love when that happens! You're welcome 💜
My doctor wrote me a note for my dog to be an esa and she said that she has to be with me in public.. but she’s very well behaved
I am not sure if it was for the location that the therapy dog worked but it required a bathe every time it went in to help keep the health of the clients safe because their hair could carry something that might spread illnesses. And I would think you would now you would be asked to wash your hands before and after petting them.
I'd like to know how that works, if there is no registry or any other way to prove your dog is actually a service dog. People with ESAs could just lie to anyone and say it's an service animal or dog if it's a dog. And no one could tell them not to go into the store or the like. If I remember correctly it's forbidden to deny a person with a service dog enrty to a place where there would have acsess to.
Are people even allowed to ask what 'working dog' your dog is?
What places are service dogs not allowed to go?
Could bus or cab drivers or owners of a small shop or diner or the like forbid you to enter with Buddy because they are highly allergic to dogs?
Staff may only ask two questions: whether the dog is a service animal required for a disability, and what work/task the dog has been trained to perform. They can't ask anything further. Allergies- dog is still allowed. It's problematic, as you've pointed out. 😕
@@MommingwithMigraine Thanks for taking the time to answer and for sharing your live with us :)
I've got a task trained esa.
My favorite part of this video (aside from all the useful information!) is Buddy constantly getting in the way of the camera in some way.
Love it now, but at the time I was overheating so badly. He was driving me nuts 🤣
This was really interesting, thank you
You're welcome! So glad!
Love this you did forget guide dogs, guide dogs are not service dogs so they have there own classification. Just so you know. But I love this it’s a great training tool!
Working dogs are a big giant category. I think Jen's aim was just to provide clarity between three subsets which are often confused for each other - service dogs, emotional support animals and therapy dogs. Each is different, trained to different standards and for different purposes. Only one of those categories has public access rights protected by US statute.
Earlier today I watched a video about training a dog to track and find lost people. Definitely a work dog. The dog is not a service dog for disabled people, and not an ESA, and not a therapy dog.
Other examples of work dogs who don't fit into those three categories: drug sniffing dogs/police dogs, hunting dogs, search and rescue dogs, disease/cancer sniffing dogs, herding dogs, and guard dogs, for starters. Dogs are remarkably versatile.
Why are guide dogs not considered service dogs? I thought Molly Burke referred to her dog as a SD. ?
When talking about guide dogs and service dogs the difference is, service dog have many task like example: DPT, alert, response, medical retrieval and so on but guide dogs have one big task or job to guide the visually impaired or blind person. They aren’t trained for DPT, medical alert or the other many other tasks SD do. Some guide dogs will help there person mitigate their disability. For example my guide dog dose not only do guide work, he dose seizure alerts, DPT and light mobility tasks that he naturally picked up. He was not trained he did it on his own. Not all guide can do that but most can.
@@harnessupwithgebkingsleyth9375 If I understood this video correctly, the critical difference is not in how many tasks the service dog can do, but rather in the dog's training and obedience while in public spaces. If the dog isn't under control of its handler at all times in public, able to ignore distractions and stay on the job, then it isn't a service dog.
So long as the disability is one recognized under Federal statute, and the dog is under control of the handler in public and able to perform its tasks, however numerous, without becoming distracted, then it's a service dog.
@@cavlizzy They can be, if they meet the statutory requirements for service dogs. Which is to say, they must be trained, under control of the handler in public spaces at all times, and able to perform their tasks without heeding distractions. And their tasks must be addressed to one of the specific disabilities mentioned in the Federal statute.
9:30 Not all working dogs do what the should. Sometimes they make bad judgment calls.
I was working as a lift operator at a ski area and very often the lift operators are the last or second to last people off the mountain at the end of the day.
On this day I was second to last because the kind ski patrolman and his rescue dog who was a good friend (the ski patrol guy, not the dog) was helping me tear down my lift (all the ropes and other stiff at the top of the lift).
So, we get everything torn down and I take my fake leg off, stuff it down my back pack and get ready to ski down.
My personal ski pants are tailored (do you know how hard it is to spell that word like that when your surname is Taylor?) to fit my stump, but I'm wearing my uniform pants, so I just let the empty pantleg flap in the breeze for the run down off the mountain.
The dog didn't ski, but he loved to run, and he could run *FAST.* We had a strict prescribed route to follow coming off the mountain for safety reasons because as lift operators we were often coming down behind the final ski patrol sweep.
"If you don't fancy spending the night on the mountain, follow the route"
It was usually the easiest, most boring route back, but that didn't mean it was a bunny run. This particular run had a long flat part though that required entry with a fair abound of speed.
The dog had not seen many amputee skiers and for some reason he objected to my flapping pantleg. Without warning he grabbed it right at the start of the flat part and made me fall.
He went back to his handler pleased as punch and was shocked at the reaction he got. I was pissed, but not too pissed, he was a very sweet dog, and he was only doing what he thought he should be doing.
I had to have the pants replaced, but at least they didn't make me pay for them. I did make my friend tow me through the flat spot.
Young lady, not only are you very beautiful but a great speaker too. Thanks for a great video. The question I have is how do you go about training a dog to recognize when a medical event is about to take place like seizures.
Seemed like Buddy was seriously alerting to a "faint"?? Did all that licking not count? Confused & curious. Great video Jen! 👍🏻 (and we are still cold in Texas 🥶 - Lol - & suppose to get another freeze tonight!!) Our water pipes burst during the 7 degrees below Zero... so no showers yet! I am dying to wash my hair!!😳
Licking can be heart rate or blood pressure, & sometimes I faint, but with HR (I could feel that this one was a high HR), most of the time I'm just breathy. So I finished my thought, took a break from recording, came back. A lot can happen between cuts 😉 Buddy usually gets more nudgy for fainting. It's a bit nuanced. Stay safe in the cold!
You are such a wonder and so inspiring!
(I hope interaction helps with views)
6:30 this actually is a huge loss thanks to selfish people who want to keep there untrained pets with them. Now people who need emotional support may not have that when they need it most.
Thank you for the information. I'm looking into having my dog trained as a psychiatric service dog.
In a couple of months I hope to have my own buddy :) (also a golden retriever)
I think it's really weird that in the USA you can train your own service dog and then they have all service dog rights. In that way everyone can say that their dog is a service dog and is allowed in shops etc. Or doesn't it work like that? Here in the Netherlands you have to officially train them with special instructors. I think that's logical. But the downside is that it is very expensive... I have to buy €20.000 before I can start training. So, my (foster) parents started a crowdfunding. We're almost at 25%! :)
I have an ESA bunny and while I agree with airlines being more strict do to untrained animals it also annoys me being that my ESA is not a typical animal that can be brought on any plane. It is not like I am trying to work the system so she doesn’t have to go as cargo I actually have a need for her I have anxiety depression and autism and she helps so much and she is very well trained.
My dogs are ESAs but I wouldn’t subject them to the stress of flying free in the cabin. I would prefer to keep them in the carrier under my seat because should they act up I would be more stressed. It would be a matter of their presence
Buddy is saying mommy I’m trying to task. And wondering where his treats are.
So when you service dog passes it’s training is there nothing to say that it has been trained? How would the public or who’s airlines ect know that your dog is infact a service dog and you aren’t lying or misnaming your dog that is infact just an ESA?
Just really curious coz you said there no registration for them.
I'm also wondering about this
So you can spend up to 30 thousand dollars on two years of service dog training and not have a single document or registration to show for it. How can you expect people to take you at your word? as much as I hate to say it but people can be deceitful, selfish, opportunists and have no problem with lying. There should be some kind of official registration given to handler's right after their service dog is fully trained, I mean its idiotic not to right?
Do you think a handler should carry around a MEDICAL ALERT CARD that gives specific reasons for the ESA? I know they aren’t really allowed to ask or make them demonstrate. I also travel a lot and having this pup with me would really help.
Alot of people get an esa letter because they think its "lucky" that service dog handlers get to take there dogs into public. Or they think "well if you (service dog handler) get to take your pet out into public than I should be allowed as well."
Which is unfortunate, because legally those pets don't get public access rights anyway.
@@MommingwithMigraine I know. I was just saying that that's one or two reasons people get them other than no pets housing.
I live in Ireland and emotional support animals aren’t recognised and your can’t get a service dog for mental disabilities. It’s really sad because they could really help me and a lot of people
I am so confused on where my dog stands on this list.. I had a dog who could sense my pain levels and would go get help if I was stuck in bed due to chronic pain (as I type this I'm going through a neurostimulator trial) but he was cool to just chill all day in bed with me or if I was doing ok He'd go outside for a little bit. So my doctors really pushed the idea of getting a 2nd dog to keep me moving (I was stuck in bed for 4 years from serious pain). So he technically has, and does, his task as well as he carries things like groceries for me. Where I live I would have to take him and go through a test to see how he would act in public but he'd fail because his love or food is so strong he'd sit there begging for scraps. I love him so much but he would have definitely been a service dog "reject" because of his love of food and also he puts your hand in his mouth to show you what he would like.
In Germany ESA Dogs go to the same Training like service dogs do. The meet the same standards. But still they don’t have public access. Service dogs need to be able to perform 3 tasks, while ESA only perform one or two tasks. In Germany all service dogs accept for guidedogs had the same problems till a new law allowed them to enter. Same with ESA now. I take my ESA everywhere because she is trained like a service dog. I simply tell the people she is a dog for disabled people. I have paperwork, because in Germany we have to have paperwork.
Thank you
Thank you!!!
You're WELCOMMEEEE!!!! 💜💜💜
sometimes i wish my dog was still a puppy so i could train him to be a psych service dog and help with my dissociative episodes, i'd feel a lot safer in public having someone there to lead me somewhere safe and make sure i don't fall into a ditch or walk into traffic and things like that
How much is a service dog? I wanted to get a companion for my depression and social anxiety cause it gets so bad where I’ll lock up and not respond or I start shaking. I feel like it’ll really help me
I’ve been finding many different prices and I can’t find one exact price that is the actual price
I have esa because I can’t afford training I have autism and ptsd
If you are wanting information on therapy dogs check out therapy dogs internal
Thank you so much for this! would anyone have any advice who I can reach out to regarding ESA denial? My 17 year old son is renting an apartment in orlando florida, a dorm style apartment. The landlord is threatening to evict my son because he will not accept the ESA letter from Brodys psychologist and the certification. ITs a little cat. He stay in dorm apartment called homestay anywhere, lexington . The landlord has bullied him, stating he is going to sentd the sheriff there and ruin his ability to every rent again, causing him not to be able to attend college.
Hi! Landlord is most likely in violation of the ADA requirements as well as the HUD requirements for pets in apartments. I would contact your local congressman or woman immediately!
About E.S.A’s. What if you have the dog to help with stress and you need said animal in public places for that reason? How would you proceed for the right training for it or the right permissions if it’s possible to fo that?
I didn’t do a great job at explaining that because I don’t really understand that yet but my cat usually comforts me with it but I can’t bring her places because she wont accept a collar or harness for a leash and she’s not friendly at all to other people
I don't know if I have PTSD but I have a lot of the symptoms, can earthquakes make you have PTSD? Because its really the only traumatic thing I have ever experienced.
Go to a psychiatrist for that question, they can ask the questions and based on what you experience they can give you the answer.
Is it true that ESA documents or certificate has to be renewed every year?
Therapy dogs get an ID card, certification paper and vest from the organization but that’s it
You may have said this and I missed it but I heard there is a new rule when it comes to Service Animals on Airlines. The Airlines will ONLY accept Dogs as a Service Animal (as their definition). DOGS ONLY!!!
Yes!
Buddy
I have a question
I'm turning 16 next week and I was recently approved for an ESA because my anxiety is so bad I can't enter a store by myself without crying, but an ESA won't be able to follow me into the store and I'm nervous to bring up the possibility of having a psych dog to my therapist
How should I bring it up?
Have you talked with your mental health provider? Most businesses will allow your animal if it's behavior is respectful.
My Dr has recommended a service animal. I will be owner training mine. How do I simulate air travel? I’ve seen videos of plenty well trained service dogs freaking out on planes, during take off. Is there a specific way to train for this, ahead of time?
My 5 month old needs a service animal and I feel my head spinning trying to figure out how to start the process.
Canine companions for independence might be a place to start
Seems like therapy dogs need to have flight/housing rights...trained and calm but no rights kinda seems shady to me....if we just add a line or two about ESA training (or not being a problem + potty trained) I feel they should have flight rights too...
Did you task train Buddy yourself? I'm curious about this process!
Yes!
Woooo new vid
Woooohoo!!! 🙌
I’m confused as to why ESA ADS KEEP SHOWING UP DURING YOUR VIDEO’s but you video is against what service they provide.
I don't choose what ads get shown. They're being shown because it's related to the content.
@@MommingwithMigraine I just fine it odd YT would do that
I have a autism service dog 🙂
How long do you have after buddy alerts for a faint?
1-15 min
@@MommingwithMigraine oh so that's amazing!!!
Nice info
Thanks!
Are your migraines worse when the weather is changing?
Yes. I use weatherX ear plugs (there's a video on my channel about it).
I will have to find that. Thanks!
I currently have an ESA dog. If I were to train her to lay on me (etc) before or during a panic attack due to mental health conditions, would she be considered a service dog?
Yes and no. The task the dog preforms (laying on you /dpt) is a task which counts as a task making them legally (in the US) a service animal. But the task isn't enough the dog must have amazing behaviour in public. Such as zero reactivity to people, transports, children, animals etc and must almost blend in. But before committing to making your dog a service animal please do research on the ada laws, service animals, fake service dogs and access issues before making the call becoming a service dog handler. ❤️❤️
All dogs should behave well in public my cardiac alert dog may have to wash due to someone pet lunging at her and grabbing her by her vest.. People who don't want to train their dogs shouldn't have them
That's horrible, I'm so sorry that happened. Completely unfair.
@@MommingwithMigraine I'm trying to out train it but because she is a small breed it is a difficult task though oddly enough she doesn't react to other service dogs just pets so it's kinda funny in a way... It don't matter the size of the service animal she seems to sence its another working dog other big dogs she can sometimes be a bit of a jerk
Not to be rude but there are a few more.
Diabetic Alert Dogs, Asthma Alert Dogs, Cardiac Alert Dogs, TBI Service Dogs, Narcolepsy Alert Dogs, Mobility Assistance Dogs, FASD Service Dogs, Seizure Alert/Response Dogs. :)
"This is not an exhaustive list."
Have you seen TH-cam channel Service Dog Paws? Pls check out her channel everyone. She just went through a horrible experience at 36wks pregnant being denied treatment at a hospital because of her perfectly behaved SD. It was so wrong, trying to spread awareness everywhere I can about this.
you're... trying to get us to pay attention to someone's traumatic event?... that's ... kind of mean.
@@semiautomatic.companion she is desperately asking followers on all channels to share the video and get the word out everywhere so.... yeah? It’s sad that most places aren’t properly educated on ADA laws, the fact that this happened to her at a hospital is deplorable and I think more attention needs to be brought to this.
Her video briefly discussing it titled “we need your help”

The decrease of ESA protections is devastating. The response should be to increase the training requirements of ESA's not to decrease the rights. My brother is autistic and greatly benefits from his ESA. While we havent had to take his ESA on a plane for a long time, in his youth he would have done much better taking his cat on a plane. He had trouble bonding to dogs and had a strong connection with his cat, and he is not the only autistic child like that. I agree the lack of training is very problematic, but like I said a better answer would be to increase the requirements of training or qualifying factors for an ESA and not make it so vague.
ESA aren’t considered service dogs so they aren’t federally protected. I’m in the United States and ESA don’t have the same rights as ESAs. In The US service animals by law are dogs and in some cases it mini horses.
@@Whitneypyant yea, I understand that. I certainly would never try and pass of an Esa as a service dog.
Moreso I mean that there should SOME sort of legal requirement and protections so that people who NEED esas can have them in situation where they need them. Sorry if I'm not explaining that well.
It's just that emotional support is not enough for an animal to qualify as a service dog. But for sone people their ESA is the difference between making it through the day successfully and failing. I don't think that ESAs are equivalent to service dogs, just that they're also important and I think they deserve to be considered more than just pets.
However I also think that training and certain requirements should be in place for ESAs too.
♥️♥️♥️♥️
Consider that dogs have been bred for well over 10000 years to serve human (perhaps over 20000 years) and you could say that ALL dogs are "working" dogs, even if their work is just to provide companionship, or decoration. Though I think using a live animal as decoration is unethical.
well…. many humans are for decoration only so…. go figure 😅
As long as the ESA is well behaved and ppl don’t sit their NAKED BUTTS in the grocery carts and they don’t relieve themselves in public, I’m ok. Mine is so tiny you won’t know it’s with me unless peeks their head out of it’s pouch or make a noise ppl would hear. I hate some ppl make it bad for there’s. I DO NOT TAKE IT TO RESTAURANTS ESPECIALLY WHERE OPEN FOOD IS. But there are days that are worse than others and I need that security to go in and do what ever business of the day and it’s WAY too Hoy here to leave a flea in the car definitely not a pet… I just hate there isn’t something more to help ESP HANDLERS.
Hi
Hello!
Police dogs are not train that well though because they don’t train them to not attack they train them to sniff and seek that’s it
Except attack police dogs and there aggravated by being on the job that’s the point
Most of the time police dogs are trained to listen to their partner/handler, and they ARE trained to not attack unless given the command to do so. If a police dog just attacks all willy-nilly and is aggressive or aggravated by being on the job then they are retired/ removed from duty. Police dogs also do drug sniffing and search and rescue sometimes. Depends on the area they're serving.
Just to make sure I understand. Bottom line. If u can prove u have a disability then your legal right u can have a service dog. So paper work always with u on disability.
"If u can prove u have a disability then your legal right u can have a service dog."
Yes, and no. You have to be qualified for a disability. For example, PoTS; a disability that Jen has (you can read more about it on her channel). I have PoTS too, but I don't need a service dog for it, nor am I disabled, even though it is most if not always a debilitating condition (and of course, Buddy aids with more than just one condition). Lots of syndromes and disorders like this have varying symptoms and affects on a certain person's life. It's important to remember that even though you may have a condition that someone else has too and has a service dog for: doesn't mean you need a service dog for it. Doesn't mean you can't have a service dog for it, but it's your doctor's/multiple people's decision, really (by 'multiple people' i mean doctors and people with medical degrees, not the general public or family & friends). If you have a disability, a dog might not even be able to help you with it. It depends on your own symptoms and how it affects you. Or, on the contrary, if something else can work better for you. If you have problems with dogs, or you can't handle the fact that a service dog is $25K+, then you might be done better with medication. Or if you have a mobility disability, then a wheelchair or walking aid could help you without you spending thousands of dollars on one. That being said, just because you have a disability or a disabling condition, doesn't mean you qualify for a service dog. About 12% of the population's disabled people (in america) qualify for service dogs. *12%!* Technically speaking, if you have a disability and a dog can be task trained to help with that, then yeah, you can *technically* have a service dog. that doesn't mean it wont have more pros than cons. Service dogs aren't an accessory, it's living, breathing medical equipment. The reason I'm clarifying is that you seem to be under the impression that if you have a disability you automatically can have a service dog. Most disabled people don't have service dogs. Just because you're disabled doesn't mean you need one, and honestly that's your doctor and your own decision to make and come to terms with.
"So paper work always with u on disability."
No. You don't have to provide evidence of your disability to anyone. Stores/restaurants/businesses/etc aren't allowed to ask you to prove you have a disability, it's illegal. You never have to carry evidence of your disability.
