I mean damn. I’m a believer in judging a situation and reacting accordingly. That couple was just trying to be nice. Their dog wasn’t aggressive. It was being friendly. My daughter has cancer and we are around a hospital slap full of service dogs on a regular basis....and some DO come up, tail wagging. Not all. Some. U could have just said hello. Don’t always be so ready for an argument. Everyone has a struggle. U have yours, those elderly people have theirs. They may totally feel their dog is a service dog....and don’t realize it needs better training. U could have taken a minute to help. Offer advice. Just remember u get back what u put out into the universe. Have a great week. ❤️
I don't like to argue but I hope you know that that isn't considered a service dog. It was probably an ESA or Therapy dog which are completely different than a service dog. Service dogs are only to helping their handler and focusing on their handler's health. The reason Lexie was so annoyed and cautious about it is that she deals with aggressive fake sds and when a dog is lunging the same way aggressive dogs do shes going to think that the dogs aggressive. Lexie is very experienced with SDs so the way she handled that was actually correct! As I said, she deals with this stuff a lot and did what she thought was right. If you didn't like that than thats okay! I just wanted to inform you so you knew. I am also very sorry about your daughter having cancer, I hope she is well. Thank you for reading this, I hope I wasn't rude.
KoffeeBeann I wasn’t attacking her. I just thought she could have handled this a lot better. Ur not being rude. We all have an opinion and it’s good to express it and have discourse. I do know the difference in an emotional support animal and a service dog. We currently have two GSD. One is emotional support, one is service. We encounter dogs which aren’t service dogs all the time. We are always cautious but we just choose to handle an encounter based on the situation. If there’s a little old couple who’s emotional support dog wanders over to us wagging its tail? I’m going to say hello. If it’s badly behaved, I will share our trainers number and wish them well. It won’t ruin our day, our animals would still be safe, our trainer might gain a new client and the elderly couple may find help for their dogs behavior. See how many people would win if u handle it differently? Choose ur battles. This wasn’t one. If we encounter a dog who is aggressive, we go in the opposite direction. If I even feel for a second that a dog will be out of their handlers control, we don’t seek to interact. We don’t record or draw attention to ourselves...we just change direction. If we HAVE to pass a questionable animal, we do so confidently and quickly without pausing in the other dogs space. The world is a big place that we share and it takes way too much energy to try and police everyone around us. Just handle your space, your animal, your bubble and when the time comes that we have to share it, do so with grace and kindness. It comes back to us. Promise. Y’all have a great week!
@@Mtkrvi06 I just want to make it clear that also, Lexie's form of PTSD makes her kind of edgy and basically everything triggers her. My mom and CPTSD and you have to be really careful around her or you might trigger her. Something like a fake service dog, friendly or not, would make her so angry. Everyone has there ways of handling service dogs. The best way is to avoid any interaction. I just wanted to let you know that she can't really control it because she does what she thinks she has to in that moment. No time to think.
Ptsd ≠ no self control. I understand its difficult dealing with these types of people but no disability is an excuse for being blatantly rude. You have control over what you say, stop using your disability to justify your actions unless they're directly related to your disability.
This comment actually makes me mad. She has a disability that you may not understand. Sometimes she cant control what she says. She may not mean to say it but she is in a state of mind where she just says it without meaning to. My friend has the same problem and I understand how it works. She isn't using her disability as an excuse. She actually legitimately cannot control it sometimes. But when you started your opinion the way you did, it came off as rude and disrespectful. You could have at least worded it differently and not have been so rude. To me it comes off as you hating on her. And I'm not trying to be rude or disrespectful either.
Roxy Reacts having a disability does not excuse being rude and having poor character. Everyone makes mistakes and everyone says things they never meant to say. But that’s when you decide to grow and learn. Not continue to have the same poor attitude
Lexi, you gotta pick your battles. I get it may not be a real service dog and I know you can’t have dogs running up to you I get it. I just think you should’ve left her alone/been nicer :(
Shiloh I’m literally not hating but she could of just said something and walked or just have walked away and not of said anything but her standing that close to them is making the dog get in her dog’s face when she was trying to tell them to get there dog outta her dog’s face it confuses me but oh well
Yeah when they follow me any nice talk I might have been able to manage flies out the window... But you better believe if I can out walk them well enough, they can follow behind me straight to the stores manager. ^-^
For someone with PTSD, she has a lot of extra energy to do things like get confrontational with people. Hey are you done with the wheelchair phase or was that just for the airport and just after to make your point?
I think you could have been nicer you keep using your service dog as an excuse to rude and mean their dog was not even in your dogs face you could have just said "sorry but he is still in training and is still learning so if you would not mind to back up just a little” instead of saying that they were in your dogs face when they here not even close to your dog you they were pretty far from you actually to be honest is is really annoying always fighting someone for no reason
pawses While I agree with you, the dog wasn’t completely “ill behaved”, this dog could very well be in training, the dog didn’t bark, or growl, and they were able to have it under control, and remove it from the situation. In no way was this heated, the woman even apologized just a few seconds in, and no dogs were harmed, and they were barely distracted
@@Qunpowder Volunteer at a shelter, THAT will really show you some poorly behaved dogs... Not their fault, but that's been where I found my top 10 in that catagory.... I work with "unadoptable" dogs to train them to be pets (even have one that is an SD for a local gal).... This dog did need some manners on how to behave in a non pet area... But they did keep decent control, he just needs more socialization and taught the manners and rules a service dog must follow. I'm very lax with the pets I train(compared to my SD), I don't hold them to the same standard I do my SD... Just like I expect better of my older SD than I do my sdit. In stores I limit situations me and my sdit are in, like tight squeezes if I can help it since we r still learning how to walk with each other... Or even avoiding people I know have been too touchy with my SD in the past or stuff like that... My current SD can handle it all, tho he has a weakness for begging me to let kids pet him when he KNOWS they r asking.... Just... there is a scale of how trained a dog is, and this one is pretty decent even if he's not ready for non pet places... I made sure my sdit had leave it and with me commands down pat before even hitting pet stores. Good thing too since we had to dodge an ill behaved dog who's owner couldn't keep hold of the leash right. She sat and stayed behind me as I got ready to pin the dog if he got away from his human ^-^" Wasn't as quiet as I'd wanted, but it got the petco employee to come back and escort the lady and her dog out. Petstores... soooo much FUN right? XD
@@trippin9899 A service animal can only be called that when the owner has a qualified disability. A disability must be medically diagnosed and interfere substantially with one or more major life activities. Does this girl seem like she can't hold down a job? Or leave her house? Does she seem unable or inactive to *any* extent? No. No she doesn't because she's a faker. As someone who is legitimately disabled and has always worked with the disabled, I have the right to call out people who make it harder for people like myself.
Man, the clickbait is real with this one. 1. That was by no means a “heated argument” 2. The dog wasn’t really “ill behaved” quite honestly you over reacted. 3. That lady seemed very apologetic, and embarrassed 4. That dog could have very well been in training, no it shouldn’t have been out in public like that but come on man. 5. Having PTSD does NOT by any means make you special, you are still a person, and should be treated as such. I don’t get your obsession with telling off other service dog owners, real or fake what service dogs should act like. If the dog isn’t hurting you or your dog in any way, or being aggressive, just move. Seriously, the world isn’t made for you.
Molly Evans she is being rude by the way she speaks to them. I too have a service dog and when things like this happen where you feel your service dog is being distracted you remove yourself and your service dog out of that situation. She didn’t have to use that tone of voice with them.
Can you stop with the clickbait? its annoying I was fine before but "heated agrument" and i got mad at a confused elderly woman for a minute and a half are two different things
No offense or anything, but you can't really just assume every "service" dog that you see is fake. I get that there are people who fake having a service dog, but just because it might be "aggressive" you just can't assume. If a "service dog" is aggressive it might not be trained or is just fake. There are other possibilities other than it being fake. Don't get me wrong I love your channel, but just please don't assume every time you see a dog with a service dog vest that its fake. Thank you. :) Edit: Honestly I agree with the woman. You weren't really being nice to them. And i also agree with "Brendon! The Android Sent By Cyberlife!" just because you have a disability, doesn't mean you can be rude to others with service dogs you think are fake. All service dogs are trained differently and behave differently due to their personalities and training. And that argument was not a heated argument. The way you handled the situation was immature. You acted very immature when she said you aren't a very nice person by acting as if it was a joke, same with her dog dying.
@@tropics6221 But still, it wasn't being aggressive like Lexie was saying. It was just being friendly. And like i said in my comment, all dogs behave differently due to their trainers and personality. Dakota is a dog who obeys, while the other dog probably was a friendly dog.
@@kix6065 it doesnt matter the dogs still dont act like that. The training is specifically done to prevent that kind of behavior. And if that's how the dog is then it shouldn't or ISNT a service dog! Service dogs are required to act right or they can get kicked out. That dog wasnt even paying attention to the owner at all! Therefore not a service dog! If the owner was having a problem right that second and the dog wouldn't alert then it could have been bad . And also the dog wasnt even paying attention to the owner at any point! It was just looking around and doing it's own thing. NOT A SERVIVE DOG!
Lexie could’ve been nicer about the situation. Yeah we get it he’s in training and the old couple probably shouldn’t have done that but the tone she used was totally unnecessary:(
100% agree. I understand that she has PTSD, but PTSD doesn't give her the excuse to be rude to people. There are some situations where its better to just act like an adult, and remove yourself from the situation. Dogs, SD or not-- are not robots. They can't always behave perfectly. No matter how well trained. And The woman in the video probably has no idea this is being blasted all over the internet.
Lexi has no class. Swearing at people and acting like she’s gods gift to the service handlers of the world. She’s a CHILD, certainly not mature and she wonders why people are not impressed with the way she speaks. PTSD does not make you a raving bitch, I think that’s just Lexi.
Queen In The Norh you get tired of it. she wasn’t that mean and there’s no excuse bringing an untrained dog in public just because your service dog died. as a handler, it gets scary and fucking tiring to be followed around by fakes. this person was FOLLOWING her. niceness goes out the window.
Queen In The Norh and that dog wasn’t in training. it wasn’t even a bad day, it was an untrained dog. you don’t do that shit. i’m sure she’d rather be on the internet then get a $500-$1000 fine for faking a service dog :’)
Van Deman Ferrets Tasmania. Nikkie PTSD can change your reaction to people in high stress situations. if you don’t have it, don’t act like you know. She doesn’t act like she’s gods gift. it gets tiring. you can’t be nice forever to every single person breaking the law 🤷♀️ talk when you get one and have to deal with it every day while just trying to function.
This is how you know you guys take time into gaining your dogs. You got zues less then a month ago, and he is already so good in public, while thatbold lady who’s dog seemed abt 2-5 was not.
Did they personally train him though to start? Obviously they do train them but zeus will be trained to detect changes in Nolans blood, which I think is different from ptsd?
@@Sqilly it's different. But they are going with the whole natural alert thing which I feel this makes them think they dont have to train anything but that's not how scent detection works at all. If they never do any scent work with that dog I wont ever believe Z. alerts are consistent, can be done under distractions and alerts like paw and nose are distinct between both high and lows. Yep you actually gotta train that shit.
It's crazy how rude and negative you are towards other people and their service dogs. You expect everyone to treat you and your service dog with respect, but you don't do the same to others. You can get PTSD from choking on a chicken nugget and you act like you deserve special treatment. Sounds more like a well-trained emotional support dog and an overly aggressive handler. This is a disappointing channel.
It's harder for the dog to digest because the can food is softer easier and faster to digest, the kibble takes longer so mixing can cause some problems with the digestion
GUYS!! Stop hating on Lexie for stupid shit. Like tbh she gets hated on the most stupid things. If you don't like her then don't watch her. She does not need your bs and negativity in her life. She already has to deal with enough. As far as the fake SD issue, its great to educate the public bc real working teams can get hurt. EDUCATING is part of sd handlers job. Yes, she could have been nicer but I think that's just Lex's personality. 🤷🏼♀️🥰 Anyway I love you family Lexie. @leotheservicedoggo is my insta for anyone who wants to follow EDIT: also that fake sd was WAY to close to the team she did the right thing by asking that couple to back away. SD are our lifelines, we have to make sure that they stay safe.
Some people in the comments state that the other dog which may or may not have been a service dog in training received a “leash correction” which I believe is incorrect. You can see the man grabbing the leash and physically pulling the dog away and to the side. I’m no expert in dog training but through training the bully type dogs that I have trained, pulling on the leash only makes them pull harder, and therefore makes them want to pull against your original pulling sensation, whether or not they are wearing a collar or a leash. When I give my own A.B. A correction it’s often with a firm tone combined with “no” and using the leash to slightly tug on her collar, which is placed right behind her head for more control. I just simply don’t believe it was a proper correction on the man’s part, and yes he is elderly but I feel it wasn’t a proper correction.
So i take my service dog to this same flee market almost every weekend and this same woman always trys to kick us out but every one selling stuff around her stops her because they know me and my dad so well
I’m really proud of you both, Lexie and Nolan! Lexie, thank you so so much for guiding Nolan but still letting him find his way and gain experience himself and not just taking the dog and training it for him. Nolan, you’re doing FANTASTIC! Thank you for allowing Lexie to guide you through training a service dog and be opening to learning how to take on the training yourself. It’s a big change and not an easy one but being able to accept or ask for help is a HUGE thing. Also thank you both for sharing this journey with us. It’s not easy putting yourself out there for public view and criticism. You two are quite cute by the way. 😊
Well, Lexie has her's for PTSD and Nolan has his for type one diabetes. For the others, I'm not too sure, but they might have them to help train them. I hope that kinda clears it up.
They are a couple that both need service dogs and they met Mackenzie at a service dog meet up and became friends. If you paid attention you would know.
I have been watching your channel for a few days now and I want to say thanks for showing what life with PTSD and other problems are all about. I have PTSD, Anxiety and depression and your channel is a great way to help me
Great video. I always enjoy watching you training the dogs. Nolan is doing great with Zeus. My favorite ice cream is vanilla and the other one I cannot think of the name. Is is chocolate with almonds and Marshmallows. As for the elderly couple just ignore them. We are not all like that. Have a great week.
Zeus is doing well! I recently had to retire my husky service dog because of surgery. I can't wait to work with her successor in public! Balue is a 3 month lab/pointer
Hannah Bireley I’m from the greenwood area and I have a legitimate service dog, I’m not surprised you’ve seen this in Indianapolis! There are so many fake SDs in Greenwood Indy area
Ok I used to really enjoy watching this channel but now it’s just so disrespectful. I understand she feels threatened by their dog but it’s literally just an elderly couple who have a dog that’s also in training ( not to mention her old service dog died. tbh simply talking to them the way you did was extremely rude. You could tell just by the looks on their faces that they were truly sorry and probably embarrassed. You could have acted respectfully and recommend them to have a trainer that helps or simply telling them to have their dog trained before going out in public. Not “That’s Not How Service Dogs act” or “He’s In My Dogs Face” they even apologized and also listened to you and moved the dog away from you guys. Sometimes the things you say are unnecessary and will just make the situation escalate. And one more thing this is in no way shape of form a heated argument
I don't know if it's just me, but I don't hear anything wrong with Lexie's tone. She is telling the older couple to not let their dog get that close to her's since it was distracting him and it doesn't seem like the woman was listening, the man pulled the dog away and tried to keep him from going closer again though so I guess that was good... They actually stopped and their dog was pulling on the leash trying to get closer to I think it was Max. I'm sorry, but even pets shouldn't be pulling on the leash. I'm not saying the way Lexie handles some of these situations are good, but this is definitely not a bad way for her to have handled the situation. (If you try to yell at me for this comment don't expect me to respond because I'm not going to waste my energy on people who aren't calm enough to actually talk about this and listen to what I'm trying to say. I am, also, in no way trying to suggest I know how all service dogs are supposed to act, but in my opinion not even my 3lb 5" tall dog should be pulling on the leash because that's not how I think a well behaved dog should act.)
I agree, and you can tell its a fake. It was on a flexi leash, wasnt focused on the handler, and the leash was clipped to the vest which NO service dog handler ever does.
Do you ever think that what you say to people (especially with service dogs) could possibly trigger them and make the person upset? You literally stood there. Instead of causing an argument by telling them to go away maybe you should try moving yourself from the situation. If you walked away, your dog would follow. Simple as that
That “wood thing” is used for draining water from the side of a pot with pasta in it instead of using a strainer. I didn’t mean for this to come off rude I just wanted to let people know what it is.
22:26 That wooden paddle is for if you are boiling potatoes, noodles, or stuff of that sort. You put the paddle against the pot you used, and then you use the paddle to strain out the water, leaving whatever was boiled in the pot.
I have a few questions. So i have severe panic attacks and anxiety attacks going in public and my fiancé has also thrown out the idea of having a servic dog to me and make me feel secure. How do yall deal with people staring at yall all the time? I dont like being the center of attention. Do yall train the dogs yourself?
After the first three minutes I couldn’t take it. Besides points MANY others have made here, you started up about the dog “getting away” as if you owned the entire area, then escalated it to the dog being “in my dog’s face” while still at a safe distance!! And did you ever think that it was YOUR nasty tone and attitude that spooked the other dog in the first place...? Other news...based on state laws, SERVICE DOGS IN TRAINING MAY HAVE EQUAL PUBLIC ACCESS RIGHTS, depending on the state. EQUAL. As in, you don’t get to yell at elderly people because you own that corner of the mall because “you were there first.” As well, even with full on SDs, under the ADA, an SD “has to be under the control of their owner.” That other dog WAS under control, until YOU became aggressive! And even then, the dog had a small hop, and was NEVER OUT OF THE OWNER/HANDLER’S CONTROL.
It's called a heel. And they use devices to help their dog understand what they want. (i use an ecollar for example, the yellow circle on her neck in some of lexies videos)
I would like to Invest in a Service dog to help me with Anxiety and depression and to do task to stop self-harm but my Mum is Against it.....soooooooo ummmm what do I do ? All so I’m 17...still in school?
Sophia Baker service angel percie has a good video on her channel on how to explain to your parents why you need a SD, and if you have a therapist/psychiatrist/doctor that recommends or agrees that you need one, ask them to right a email or to explain why you should have a service animal.
So since your 17 and if you have a job, legally you can talk to a doctor alone and if they give you a letter you have every right to buy a service dog and train it as long as your paying for it and your doctor/physiatrist says you need one to do daily functions then yes you can legally get one. BUT if your anxiety and depression does not limit your essential activities such as eating, drinking, etc. Then you are not allowed a service dog, at that point it would be illegal cause you arent actually disabled. But if you are then I say take this advice and talk to a lawyer
I’m totally with you on SOME stuff, you said your dog is in my dogs face when he wasn’t and when she said your not a very nice person you you put it as a joke like if her service dog dying was a joke
Well she said when the girl said my service dog died she said I'm sorry but then after words she said your not a very nice person she put that as a joke but a service dog should not have another dog at least pulling at it
Vivien and pets yes I do. I’m a working dog trainer and handler. and I know that sometimes service dogs have bad days or are still going through training. I also know Lexi has a reputation for starting senseless fights and drama with people. I know this elderly lady did NOT deserve to be bitched at like this. I know that Lexi should’ve instead asked in the handler could correct and control her dog and she should’ve left and moved away knowing that it was a distraction for her own dog. Instead she continued to stand there provoking the situation further.
The shavey thing is called an Undercut. (Licensed Advanced managing Cosmologist) it's the technical term but they aren't just edgy and cute they help with allot. Overheating, migraines ect. I loved mine. I always got lotus flowers in mine
Please stop calling all other service dogs "fake service dogs" you are not by sny means the judge of service dogs! Just stop! It has gotten to the point that almost everyone of your videos you make a claim someone has a "fake service dog" . Stop!
Emma Jones half of the services dogs now days are fake Fyi and some schools like mine won’t even allow them to be in the school I had a friend who got kicked out due to her service dog and a service dog wouldn’t run up to other services dogs so that’s one reason why Lexie believes they are fake
THANK YOU! Finally. Someone said it. It's people like Lexie who make me panic about going into public with my SDiT, because I dunno what I'd do if she came at me as aggressively as she does other people. I doubt she'd believe me, even after I explained that maybe, just maybe, my SDiT was having an off day, and apologize. If Lexie was more polite, I'd give her more leeway. but the woman was right. Lexie is a rude person. (Even if she doesn't mean to be.) The way she goes about talking to people is intimidating, and hostile. I know she's young, but there are better, more mature ways to handle situations like those.
Queen In The Norh i agree like come on the lady said her other sd died if she wanted to be left alone she could just literally move away its not like the other dog was lunging at hers it was just curious
Wow you were so disrespectful to that elderly couple :/ I feel so bad for them. I have mental (and physical) issues too, but I don't use that as an excuse to be a jerk. I also have a SDiT.
honestly you’re just blatantly rude to people at this point. maybe it’s for content but it’s rude and awful. i get you have a condition but that’s not a safety net for you being rude to everyone you see that doesn’t act exactly how you want them too. you need to focus on your actions and words. i’m honestly really disappointed of your actions on your channel regarding things like this
@First Last in this situation you're basically saying the dog is trained to drag it owner around, which was what it was exactly doing. You can't use a flexi leash because it confuses the dog and makes the dog harder to train to heel.
@First Last Flexi leashes confuse the dog of where they should be. You as well as I should know this. Its not practical to use a flexi leash because of that. Flexi leashes are horrible to use, maybe great for a pet dog but not for a working dog. I'm a handler myself and know this cause I train dogs. But whatever you wanna think. 🙄 I'm not gonna argue with you on FACTS. Have a nice day, goodbye.
Breeauna Ryan because it’s takes years to train a service dog completely and Dakota is getting older so when max is 100% trained Dakota will be about ready to retire. Also so that they do not need to be worked 24/7 so let’s say she has a panic attack at night one of her pups will help her and the next day she will take out which ever one got to sleep so they are not tired
Breeauna Ryan I have had nights where my dog has had to do DPT all night and stay awake to alert me to my blood pressure. And the next day I would have to skip school because my dog is to tired to do anything really
Another reason aside form the ones you got in the other comments, she had said in a past video that a bigger dog would suit her more. Max is already slightly bigger than Dakota and not full grown. I hope this was helpful.👍
had an old lady here in CT bring her little yappy aggressive dog into the barns&noble Right passed the sign that says Service dogs only(This is in the Buckland hills mall which has signs EVERY WERE Stating SERVICE DOGS ONLY NO PETS) this demon dog was a little shite and bark/screaming at the two legic service dogs that were in the store(they ignord it like the good working doggos they were) employs insted of telling this lady to LEAVE came over to the baby carryer she had her demon in and petted it and talked to her about how cute it was ECT and she said it was a service dog,when i went over to try and educate the difference between ESA and Service Dog she was incredibly rude and insisted they were the same thing,and the employes also instist it was the same and if i was going to harras her and her barking deamon i was going to have to leave the store!i reported their behaior to corprate as they CLEARLY need education in that location,so sick of frigon ESAs being pased off as SDs!
This whole relationship is hella yikes. Lexie literally dragged Nolan to the ground and laughed at him while he told her he was in pain. Can’t wait for the next incredibly messy and incredibly public Instagram breakup.
zerocharisma15 I mean I do the same exact this to my boyfriend. We play fight and beat each other’s ass wrestling all the time, just like they were doing. And we’ve been together for almost 3 years. Okay fighting with your best friend/ boyfriend is completely normal. Me and my boyfriend dead ass laugh at each other 24/7. It’s like a best friend/boyfriend/girlfriend thing. No reason to get up right. Their relationship is perfectly fine
Avras Creations oh god here you are again. Surprising that you got your head out of Lexie’s ass long enough to write a reply. Nolan and Lexie have always had an extremely tense relationship in videos. From Lexie yelling at him for not working with Max right during training, to this video where she laughed at him while he told her that she hurt his knee and yelled “why the fuck would you do that”, if you think that’s a healthy relationship, then sweetheart I don’t know what to tell you. Then again, Lexie publicly humiliated you and triggered you but you came crawling back as soon as she let you back in to her good graces. So I’m not sure if you’re really the poster girl for healthy relationships.
(Not for a service dog) My mom and her fiannce just got a Chihuahua that is 1 year old. We have had her for 2 weeks. We got her got her from a friend who got it away from his adult daughter who was neglecting it to the point where she was malnourished. Any tips on how to help with separation anxiety? She barks and whines a lot when we aren't near her. Does anyone know anyway to redirect this anxious behavior? (She has gone to the vet before she was brought to us. Bella is now a good weight. She lucky loves people and never bites.)
Not sure, honestly you need to see a specialist about it, a doctor can't really do anything but tell you to do something. I would recommend an animal/dog behaviorist to help with the malnutrition and anxiety separation. Good luck, I hope your dog get better, have a nice day/time! 🐶
how much does training usually cost because soon i wanna get my new dog into training for emotional support because i need it even though she wasnt a service dog she still helped me cope😞
Ya someone who doesnt respect their elders....lovely. You can educate and still be respectful. But everything she does well is because of her and every single thing she does bad/ gets her any heat is because of her apparent PTSD. We never hear about PTSD being the reason in her videos. Only after she gets heat for it. Would love to hear how she got diagnosed. It's quite an involved process but of course we never hear about it. She is willing to talk about the act but nothing technical. It's what liars do. Yes yes come at me. Just go read the DSM 5 - PTSD. They (meaning youtubers and commenters) say PTSD can be different for everyone (this just means they can act out the most vague form of PTSD) but in order to be diagnosed you MUST meet specific criteria, criteria that lexie seems not not need to worry about at all. She loves scary things, can confront strange men/ people, do well in crowds, can talk to strangers, is not socially isolated, does not have any risky behavior that we know of, no issues with the law... no hardcore drug use... yall cant come for me. The DSM is very specific on what constitutes PTSD.
The video is supposed to be a vlog not a entire video of her informing elderly about service dogs. (I don't know much about service dogs, if I am saying something incorrect about that service animal community I'm sorry.) Ps. I'm not trying to attack you. 😀
@LoPan please say more! She pisses me off so much! I actually have PTSD it took months and many hours with therapists and councillors and head doctors and such to get diagnosed. It was a WHOLE ordeal! I love how she suddenly has a service dog for her boyfriend and a puppy I. Training so now 3 dogs like wtf!? And all I see her do is attack, argue with and belittle other people because she says their dog is a fake service dog. I hate that the US let’s you self train, because this is bs I wish this would stop showing up in recommended lists!
Lo Pan didn’t really need to sound so aggressive though. That’s all im saying, i get what you’re saying but like i said before it’s only one comment and she’s clearly a kid so it’s not going to be taken offensively. Have a night day/night. :)
I mean she does have PTSD, she isn't okay. (Sorry if that sounded horrible). People can getting heated about everything. Its not their fault. (I'm not apart of that kind of community, so, if I'm saying something false my apologies.)
@@bre1386 I have ptsd and it's pretty upsetting to my mental health I go off on people when they go off on me I hit myself i scream I was raped that's what can cause it I try to share my story about my mental life to educate people on mental illness
There was no reason for you to be so rude to this couple. You don't have an active disability (meaning your not blind, physically disabled, etc,) which means your dog isn't going to lose all it's training the second it's approached by another dog. Not to mention you have Zeus, who is an untrained dog and could distract a service dog. You should be nicer and stop acting like your the god of all dog handlers.
WTF ACTIVE DISABILITY? Who the fuck do you think you are? PTSD is an "active" disability. Major anxiety disorder is an "active" disability. Sometimes just anxiety can be a "active" disability. There's no such thing as an "active" disability. All disabilities have their highs and lows, all disabilities are constant. You can't go one day without it, unless your cured. You have it. And a dog that walks up to a guide dog isn't going to ruin it's training. But you can't take chances. That dog could have attacked her's. This puts our LIVES at risk. You need to understand that. These dogs are medical equipment not pets. And Zeus is in training, he knows basics and at least one task, per law. He's not going to distract a service dog, especially one he is used to.
Just be careful as they got older protien will kill the kidneys once theyre done growing the less protein the better. No hate i promise dogs are like babies to me a fed is best lol but i work in a vets office and we see dogs come in with kidnet failure and disease from to much protein. Love your videos and your doggies
Friday and Saturday i was at a karate tournament! I had an anxiety attack Saturday which has never happened at a karate tournament before so... that happened
The fact that people still stick up for this girl disgusts me imagine if she did this to you and spoke about your dog I know for a fact you’d all go mad
So interesting that all 3 of you need service dogs. Or is it that you just need the attention? I’ve never heard of people switching their service dogs.
@@buttrflynebula It is sometimes done as a training exercise. To make sure the dog is able to listen to others besides the handler in case of an emergency situation.
Just because she has made friends that has service dogs doesn’t mean they all need one any less. Lexie made friends with Kenzie after joining the service dog community, it wasn’t like they all became friends and decided to get service dogs🤦♀️
It’s a strange question, but how did you teach them to lay down? All three of them kinda collapsed when they lay down and it looks like a really good down.
There exhausted from these kids running them all over town. A service dog should help someone to get through their daily activities not run a couple a teenagers running thru a mall acting like idiots.
Tina Taylor I go to the mall with my friends sometimes. We don’t run around like idiots but we shop and have a good time. The dogs are training and service animals love their work. If the dogs were really tiered they wouldn’t want to work and they don’t have a problem with it. They lay down like that because that’s how they were trained.
I need to get a service dog because I am in a wheelchair and I don't have enough money to buy one from a program. My mom told me I can't owner train because she doesn't want to deal with a puppy! I don't know what to do, my moms single and taking care of me and I'm home alone 24/7. I need a service dog really badly and I just don't know what to do. Like my mom knows about service dogs and how they act its just she doesn't want to take care of the puppy while its in its first stages of training. Can anyone help me?

I mean it did hapen sooo yea but i do with it was longer lol
A short argument can still be heated
I mean damn.
I’m a believer in judging a situation and reacting accordingly.
That couple was just trying to be nice. Their dog wasn’t aggressive. It was being friendly. My daughter has cancer and we are around a hospital slap full of service dogs on a regular basis....and some DO come up, tail wagging. Not all. Some.
U could have just said hello. Don’t always be so ready for an argument. Everyone has a struggle. U have yours, those elderly people have theirs. They may totally feel their dog is a service dog....and don’t realize it needs better training. U could have taken a minute to help. Offer advice.
Just remember u get back what u put out into the universe.
Have a great week. ❤️
I agree
Very well said. And nicely said.
I don't like to argue but I hope you know that that isn't considered a service dog. It was probably an ESA or Therapy dog which are completely different than a service dog. Service dogs are only to helping their handler and focusing on their handler's health. The reason Lexie was so annoyed and cautious about it is that she deals with aggressive fake sds and when a dog is lunging the same way aggressive dogs do shes going to think that the dogs aggressive. Lexie is very experienced with SDs so the way she handled that was actually correct! As I said, she deals with this stuff a lot and did what she thought was right. If you didn't like that than thats okay! I just wanted to inform you so you knew. I am also very sorry about your daughter having cancer, I hope she is well. Thank you for reading this, I hope I wasn't rude.
KoffeeBeann I wasn’t attacking her. I just thought she could have handled this a lot better. Ur not being rude. We all have an opinion and it’s good to express it and have discourse. I do know the difference in an emotional support animal and a service dog. We currently have two GSD. One is emotional support, one is service. We encounter dogs which aren’t service dogs all the time. We are always cautious but we just choose to handle an encounter based on the situation. If there’s a little old couple who’s emotional support dog wanders over to us wagging its tail? I’m going to say hello. If it’s badly behaved, I will share our trainers number and wish them well. It won’t ruin our day, our animals would still be safe, our trainer might gain a new client and the elderly couple may find help for their dogs behavior. See how many people would win if u handle it differently? Choose ur battles. This wasn’t one. If we encounter a dog who is aggressive, we go in the opposite direction. If I even feel for a second that a dog will be out of their handlers control, we don’t seek to interact. We don’t record or draw attention to ourselves...we just change direction. If we HAVE to pass a questionable animal, we do so confidently and quickly without pausing in the other dogs space. The world is a big place that we share and it takes way too much energy to try and police everyone around us. Just handle your space, your animal, your bubble and when the time comes that we have to share it, do so with grace and kindness. It comes back to us. Promise. Y’all have a great week!
@@Mtkrvi06 I just want to make it clear that also, Lexie's form of PTSD makes her kind of edgy and basically everything triggers her. My mom and CPTSD and you have to be really careful around her or you might trigger her. Something like a fake service dog, friendly or not, would make her so angry. Everyone has there ways of handling service dogs. The best way is to avoid any interaction. I just wanted to let you know that she can't really control it because she does what she thinks she has to in that moment. No time to think.
Ptsd ≠ no self control. I understand its difficult dealing with these types of people but no disability is an excuse for being blatantly rude. You have control over what you say, stop using your disability to justify your actions unless they're directly related to your disability.
Ky Guitar she uses her disability to be self entitled
@@tahliatalks8902 yep
This comment actually makes me mad. She has a disability that you may not understand. Sometimes she cant control what she says. She may not mean to say it but she is in a state of mind where she just says it without meaning to. My friend has the same problem and I understand how it works. She isn't using her disability as an excuse. She actually legitimately cannot control it sometimes. But when you started your opinion the way you did, it came off as rude and disrespectful. You could have at least worded it differently and not have been so rude. To me it comes off as you hating on her. And I'm not trying to be rude or disrespectful either.
Roxy Reacts having a disability does not excuse being rude and having poor character. Everyone makes mistakes and everyone says things they never meant to say. But that’s when you decide to grow and learn. Not continue to have the same poor attitude
Tahlia Talks and again, i agree with you in some ways. Its just sometimes she cant help it
Lexi, you gotta pick your battles. I get it may not be a real service dog and I know you can’t have dogs running up to you I get it. I just think you should’ve left her alone/been nicer :(
Shiloh I’m literally not hating but she could of just said something and walked or just have walked away and not of said anything but her standing that close to them is making the dog get in her dog’s face when she was trying to tell them to get there dog outta her dog’s face it confuses me but oh well
They were following her and not everyone is just gonna sugar coat everything
Yeah when they follow me any nice talk I might have been able to manage flies out the window...
But you better believe if I can out walk them well enough, they can follow behind me straight to the stores manager. ^-^
Or she could just go up and give out educational cards or something. You catch more bees with honey.
For someone with PTSD, she has a lot of extra energy to do things like get confrontational with people. Hey are you done with the wheelchair phase or was that just for the airport and just after to make your point?
I think you could have been nicer you keep using your service dog as an excuse to rude and mean their dog was not even in your dogs face you could have just said "sorry but he is still in training and is still learning so if you would not mind to back up just a little” instead of saying that they were in your dogs face when they here not even close to your dog you they were pretty far from you actually to be honest is is really annoying always fighting someone for no reason
Those poor people.. they didn't even understand..I think they were just trying to be nice
Mylittle Pawprints I so agree
that’s not an excuse. you shouldn’t bring an ill behaved dog in public. it’s illegal.
pawses While I agree with you, the dog wasn’t completely “ill behaved”, this dog could very well be in training, the dog didn’t bark, or growl, and they were able to have it under control, and remove it from the situation. In no way was this heated, the woman even apologized just a few seconds in, and no dogs were harmed, and they were barely distracted
@@Qunpowder
Volunteer at a shelter, THAT will really show you some poorly behaved dogs...
Not their fault, but that's been where I found my top 10 in that catagory....
I work with "unadoptable" dogs to train them to be pets (even have one that is an SD for a local gal)....
This dog did need some manners on how to behave in a non pet area...
But they did keep decent control, he just needs more socialization and taught the manners and rules a service dog must follow.
I'm very lax with the pets I train(compared to my SD), I don't hold them to the same standard I do my SD...
Just like I expect better of my older SD than I do my sdit.
In stores I limit situations me and my sdit are in, like tight squeezes if I can help it since we r still learning how to walk with each other...
Or even avoiding people I know have been too touchy with my SD in the past or stuff like that...
My current SD can handle it all, tho he has a weakness for begging me to let kids pet him when he KNOWS they r asking....
Just... there is a scale of how trained a dog is, and this one is pretty decent even if he's not ready for non pet places...
I made sure my sdit had leave it and with me commands down pat before even hitting pet stores.
Good thing too since we had to dodge an ill behaved dog who's owner couldn't keep hold of the leash right.
She sat and stayed behind me as I got ready to pin the dog if he got away from his human ^-^"
Wasn't as quiet as I'd wanted, but it got the petco employee to come back and escort the lady and her dog out.

@@motherofdogs7980 what makes you say that?
Heckin Heck I don't know
@@trippin9899 A service animal can only be called that when the owner has a qualified disability. A disability must be medically diagnosed and interfere substantially with one or more major life activities. Does this girl seem like she can't hold down a job? Or leave her house? Does she seem unable or inactive to *any* extent? No. No she doesn't because she's a faker. As someone who is legitimately disabled and has always worked with the disabled, I have the right to call out people who make it harder for people like myself.
Its funny how I always see registry for service dogs as ads for your vids lol. Completely counteracts the meaning of this vid.
Wow, Zeus has come so far already! Such an easygoing little guy! He works very well with Nolan. Keep up the good work! :)
Zeus is doing so well! I remember Muducea's 1st months and days of training.
Omggg I LOVE YOUR VIDEOSSS
Man, the clickbait is real with this one.
1. That was by no means a “heated argument”
2. The dog wasn’t really “ill behaved” quite honestly you over reacted.
3. That lady seemed very apologetic, and embarrassed
4. That dog could have very well been in training, no it shouldn’t have been out in public like that but come on man.
5. Having PTSD does NOT by any means make you special, you are still a person, and should be treated as such.
I don’t get your obsession with telling off other service dog owners, real or fake what service dogs should act like. If the dog isn’t hurting you or your dog in any way, or being aggressive, just move. Seriously, the world isn’t made for you.
Also if she continues to go close to the other people and their "fake" service dog's than she could be putting her or her dog in danger.
Everything is an overreaction on her behalf tbh
She just uses her service dogs tbh. Her "service" dog doesn't act like one. Service dogs are allowed on planes. Hers...somehow wasn't.
@@mollyevans1501 It appears the elderly woman was also training a new service dog as hers had died. So... who's causing drama again? Lexi.
Molly Evans she is being rude by the way she speaks to them. I too have a service dog and when things like this happen where you feel your service dog is being distracted you remove yourself and your service dog out of that situation. She didn’t have to use that tone of voice with them.
Elderly woman: your not a very nice person
Lexie: *drags nolan to the ground*
Can you stop with the clickbait? its annoying
I was fine before but "heated agrument" and i got mad at a confused elderly woman for a minute and a half are two different things
Drama queen
@@frogboy4276 I meant Lexie not you.
No offense or anything, but you can't really just assume every "service" dog that you see is fake. I get that there are people who fake having a service dog, but just because it might be "aggressive" you just can't assume. If a "service dog" is aggressive it might not be trained or is just fake. There are other possibilities other than it being fake. Don't get me wrong I love your channel, but just please don't assume every time you see a dog with a service dog vest that its fake. Thank you. :)
Edit: Honestly I agree with the woman. You weren't really being nice to them. And i also agree with "Brendon! The Android Sent By Cyberlife!" just because you have a disability, doesn't mean you can be rude to others with service dogs you think are fake. All service dogs are trained differently and behave differently due to their personalities and training. And that argument was not a heated argument. The way you handled the situation was immature. You acted very immature when she said you aren't a very nice person by acting as if it was a joke, same with her dog dying.
Ummm they are specifically trained NOT TO BE AGGRESSIVE STUPID.
@@tropics6221 Excuse me, but i'm not stupid? The dog could still be in training.
@@kix6065 ok am sorry not stupid but still all those dogs were older and not in training. If the dog was out in public it already had training.
@@tropics6221 But still, it wasn't being aggressive like Lexie was saying. It was just being friendly. And like i said in my comment, all dogs behave differently due to their trainers and personality. Dakota is a dog who obeys, while the other dog probably was a friendly dog.
@@kix6065 it doesnt matter the dogs still dont act like that. The training is specifically done to prevent that kind of behavior. And if that's how the dog is then it shouldn't or ISNT a service dog! Service dogs are required to act right or they can get kicked out. That dog wasnt even paying attention to the owner at all! Therefore not a service dog! If the owner was having a problem right that second and the dog wouldn't alert then it could have been bad . And also the dog wasnt even paying attention to the owner at any point! It was just looking around and doing it's own thing. NOT A SERVIVE DOG!
Random person: "You not a very nice person"
Me: and I care why??
Wow girl. Max is getting big he’s almost the size of my service doggo.. lol
Lexie could’ve been nicer about the situation. Yeah we get it he’s in training and the old couple probably shouldn’t have done that but the tone she used was totally unnecessary:(
100% agree. I understand that she has PTSD, but PTSD doesn't give her the excuse to be rude to people. There are some situations where its better to just act like an adult, and remove yourself from the situation. Dogs, SD or not-- are not robots. They can't always behave perfectly. No matter how well trained. And The woman in the video probably has no idea this is being blasted all over the internet.
Lexi has no class. Swearing at people and acting like she’s gods gift to the service handlers of the world. She’s a CHILD, certainly not mature and she wonders why people are not impressed with the way she speaks. PTSD does not make you a raving bitch, I think that’s just Lexi.
Queen In The Norh you get tired of it. she wasn’t that mean and there’s no excuse bringing an untrained dog in public just because your service dog died. as a handler, it gets scary and fucking tiring to be followed around by fakes. this person was FOLLOWING her. niceness goes out the window.
Queen In The Norh and that dog wasn’t in training. it wasn’t even a bad day, it was an untrained dog. you don’t do that shit. i’m sure she’d rather be on the internet then get a $500-$1000 fine for faking a service dog :’)
Van Deman Ferrets Tasmania. Nikkie PTSD can change your reaction to people in high stress situations. if you don’t have it, don’t act like you know. She doesn’t act like she’s gods gift. it gets tiring. you can’t be nice forever to every single person breaking the law 🤷♀️ talk when you get one and have to deal with it every day while just trying to function.
This is how you know you guys take time into gaining your dogs. You got zues less then a month ago, and he is already so good in public, while thatbold lady who’s dog seemed abt 2-5 was not.
chevy staffy literally hahhaa
Her dog looked older and a little overweight. Cattle dogs are supposed to be quite thin.
Even if you dog put tons of time into training some dogs just learn faster than others.
Did they personally train him though to start? Obviously they do train them but zeus will be trained to detect changes in Nolans blood, which I think is different from ptsd?
@@Sqilly it's different. But they are going with the whole natural alert thing which I feel this makes them think they dont have to train anything but that's not how scent detection works at all. If they never do any scent work with that dog I wont ever believe Z. alerts are consistent, can be done under distractions and alerts like paw and nose are distinct between both high and lows. Yep you actually gotta train that shit.
It's crazy how rude and negative you are towards other people and their service dogs. You expect everyone to treat you and your service dog with respect, but you don't do the same to others. You can get PTSD from choking on a chicken nugget and you act like you deserve special treatment. Sounds more like a well-trained emotional support dog and an overly aggressive handler. This is a disappointing channel.
👏
why don’t you mix the canned food with the hard food (so they get used to eating both )I’m not hating I’m just saying cause I do that for my dogs
SuperM Gamer omg same I do that for their breakfast
It's harder for the dog to digest because the can food is softer easier and faster to digest, the kibble takes longer so mixing can cause some problems with the digestion
SuperM Gamer I do that with my cat I surround the soft food with hard food she usually eats the hard food first and then the soft
So, just wondering why 3 SDs and how do you decide who goes out with you each day?
1 is for Nolan and 1 is her current SD
And 1 is in training to take her SD's place
GUYS!! Stop hating on Lexie for stupid shit. Like tbh she gets hated on the most stupid things. If you don't like her then don't watch her. She does not need your bs and negativity in her life. She already has to deal with enough.
As far as the fake SD issue, its great to educate the public bc real working teams can get hurt. EDUCATING is part of sd handlers job. Yes, she could have been nicer but I think that's just Lex's personality. 🤷🏼♀️🥰
Anyway I love you family Lexie. @leotheservicedoggo is my insta for anyone who wants to follow
EDIT: also that fake sd was WAY to close to the team she did the right thing by asking that couple to back away. SD are our lifelines, we have to make sure that they stay safe.
Some people in the comments state that the other dog which may or may not have been a service dog in training received a “leash correction” which I believe is incorrect. You can see the man grabbing the leash and physically pulling the dog away and to the side. I’m no expert in dog training but through training the bully type dogs that I have trained, pulling on the leash only makes them pull harder, and therefore makes them want to pull against your original pulling sensation, whether or not they are wearing a collar or a leash. When I give my own A.B. A correction it’s often with a firm tone combined with “no” and using the leash to slightly tug on her collar, which is placed right behind her head for more control. I just simply don’t believe it was a proper correction on the man’s part, and yes he is elderly but I feel it wasn’t a proper correction.
Max is such an angel!! ❤️❤️ he is a really good helper
So i take my service dog to this same flee market almost every weekend and this same woman always trys to kick us out but every one selling stuff around her stops her because they know me and my dad so well

I’m really proud of you both, Lexie and Nolan! Lexie, thank you so so much for guiding Nolan but still letting him find his way and gain experience himself and not just taking the dog and training it for him. Nolan, you’re doing FANTASTIC! Thank you for allowing Lexie to guide you through training a service dog and be opening to learning how to take on the training yourself. It’s a big change and not an easy one but being able to accept or ask for help is a HUGE thing. Also thank you both for sharing this journey with us. It’s not easy putting yourself out there for public view and criticism. You two are quite cute by the way. 😊
So odd to me how every one of them have a "service dog"...
Well, Lexie has her's for PTSD and Nolan has his for type one diabetes. For the others, I'm not too sure, but they might have them to help train them. I hope that kinda clears it up.
They are a couple that both need service dogs and they met Mackenzie at a service dog meet up and became friends. If you paid attention you would know.
Service dog meet-ups are a thing and if you become friends with someone at one obviously you’re both going to have a service dog

Real service dogs can be in bags. It easier and more efficient for some disabilities.
At 35:33 Dakota walking like she’s on the runway and no enthusiasm 😂😂
Ok I used to really enjoy watching this channel but now it’s just so disrespectful. I understand she feels threatened by their dog but it’s literally just an elderly couple who have a dog that’s also in training ( not to mention her old service dog died. tbh simply talking to them the way you did was extremely rude. You could tell just by the looks on their faces that they were truly sorry and probably embarrassed. You could have acted respectfully and recommend them to have a trainer that helps or simply telling them to have their dog trained before going out in public. Not “That’s Not How Service Dogs act” or “He’s In My Dogs Face” they even apologized and also listened to you and moved the dog away from you guys. Sometimes the things you say are unnecessary and will just make the situation escalate. And one more thing this is in no way shape of form a heated argument

If ur looking for help on how to train your own service dog cantact my instagram tato_the_service_dog
I don't know if it's just me, but I don't hear anything wrong with Lexie's tone. She is telling the older couple to not let their dog get that close to her's since it was distracting him and it doesn't seem like the woman was listening, the man pulled the dog away and tried to keep him from going closer again though so I guess that was good...
They actually stopped and their dog was pulling on the leash trying to get closer to I think it was Max. I'm sorry, but even pets shouldn't be pulling on the leash.
I'm not saying the way Lexie handles some of these situations are good, but this is definitely not a bad way for her to have handled the situation.
(If you try to yell at me for this comment don't expect me to respond because I'm not going to waste my energy on people who aren't calm enough to actually talk about this and listen to what I'm trying to say. I am, also, in no way trying to suggest I know how all service dogs are supposed to act, but in my opinion not even my 3lb 5" tall dog should be pulling on the leash because that's not how I think a well behaved dog should act.)
TARDIS Dragon agreed!
I agree
I agree, and you can tell its a fake. It was on a flexi leash, wasnt focused on the handler, and the leash was clipped to the vest which NO service dog handler ever does.
Do you ever think that what you say to people (especially with service dogs) could possibly trigger them and make the person upset? You literally stood there. Instead of causing an argument by telling them to go away maybe you should try moving yourself from the situation. If you walked away, your dog would follow. Simple as that
That “wood thing” is used for draining water from the side of a pot with pasta in it instead of using a strainer.
I didn’t mean for this to come off rude I just wanted to let people know what it is.
22:26
That wooden paddle is for if you are boiling potatoes, noodles, or stuff of that sort. You put the paddle against the pot you used, and then you use the paddle to strain out the water, leaving whatever was boiled in the pot.

Besides points MANY others have made here, you started up about the dog “getting away” as if you owned the entire area, then escalated it to the dog being “in my dog’s face” while still at a safe distance!! And did you ever think that it was YOUR nasty tone and attitude that spooked the other dog in the first place...?
Other news...based on state laws, SERVICE DOGS IN TRAINING MAY HAVE EQUAL PUBLIC ACCESS RIGHTS, depending on the state. EQUAL. As in, you don’t get to yell at elderly people because you own that corner of the mall because “you were there first.” As well, even with full on SDs, under the ADA, an SD “has to be under the control of their owner.” That other dog WAS under control, until YOU became aggressive! And even then, the dog had a small hop, and was NEVER OUT OF THE OWNER/HANDLER’S CONTROL.
okay but even then, Service dogs in training don't pull, sniff or try to walk towards another dog.

Your tea is the best sis like...no other tea is better than this.PERIODT.
The elderly lady is right. U r rude and not a nice person 👍🏻
How do you get your dog to walk so calmly beside you?
Work and patience
@@service_poodles that's not answering my question...
@@destinationaddictionsamsar7894 they mainly do cause there using prongs but there's videos on leash training on TH-cam
It's called a heel. And they use devices to help their dog understand what they want. (i use an ecollar for example, the yellow circle on her neck in some of lexies videos)
I would like to Invest in a Service dog to help me with Anxiety and depression and to do task to stop self-harm but my Mum is Against it.....soooooooo ummmm what do I do ? All so I’m 17...still in school?
Sophia Baker service angel percie has a good video on her channel on how to explain to your parents why you need a SD, and if you have a therapist/psychiatrist/doctor that recommends or agrees that you need one, ask them to right a email or to explain why you should have a service animal.
So since your 17 and if you have a job, legally you can talk to a doctor alone and if they give you a letter you have every right to buy a service dog and train it as long as your paying for it and your doctor/physiatrist says you need one to do daily functions then yes you can legally get one. BUT if your anxiety and depression does not limit your essential activities such as eating, drinking, etc. Then you are not allowed a service dog, at that point it would be illegal cause you arent actually disabled. But if you are then I say take this advice and talk to a lawyer
i love how everytime you go out you say “we don’t know where we’re going” LMAO
I’m totally with you on SOME stuff, you said your dog is in my dogs face when he wasn’t and when she said your not a very nice person you you put it as a joke like if her service dog dying was a joke
Well she said when the girl said my service dog died she said I'm sorry but then after words she said your not a very nice person she put that as a joke but a service dog should not have another dog at least pulling at it
You’re absolutely right Prisci
Do you even know what a service dog should act like
Vivien and pets yes I do. I’m a working dog trainer and handler. and I know that sometimes service dogs have bad days or are still going through training. I also know Lexi has a reputation for starting senseless fights and drama with people. I know this elderly lady did NOT deserve to be bitched at like this. I know that Lexi should’ve instead asked in the handler could correct and control her dog and she should’ve left and moved away knowing that it was a distraction for her own dog. Instead she continued to stand there provoking the situation further.
@@blackwolf1013 not you
The shavey thing is called an Undercut. (Licensed Advanced managing Cosmologist) it's the technical term but they aren't just edgy and cute they help with allot. Overheating, migraines ect. I loved mine. I always got lotus flowers in mine
Please stop calling all other service dogs "fake service dogs" you are not by sny means the judge of service dogs! Just stop! It has gotten to the point that almost everyone of your videos you make a claim someone has a "fake service dog" . Stop!
Emma Jones half of the services dogs now days are fake Fyi and some schools like mine won’t even allow them to be in the school I had a friend who got kicked out due to her service dog and a service dog wouldn’t run up to other services dogs so that’s one reason why Lexie believes they are fake
She never once said it was fake she said that’s not how service dogs act💀
@@galaxywolfpaws1014 they legally can't do that they can come with to school as long as you have vaccination records and some ask for a list of tasks
THANK YOU! Finally. Someone said it. It's people like Lexie who make me panic about going into public with my SDiT, because I dunno what I'd do if she came at me as aggressively as she does other people. I doubt she'd believe me, even after I explained that maybe, just maybe, my SDiT was having an off day, and apologize. If Lexie was more polite, I'd give her more leeway. but the woman was right. Lexie is a rude person. (Even if she doesn't mean to be.) The way she goes about talking to people is intimidating, and hostile.
I know she's young, but there are better, more mature ways to handle situations like those.
Queen In The Norh i agree like come on the lady said her other sd died if she wanted to be left alone she could just literally move away its not like the other dog was lunging at hers it was just curious
HE IS SUCH A GOOD PUP OMH MY HEART MELTED
all pretty fur babies service protected or causal should be respected ALL OF THEM
Do you get to pick your sd cause you have a paper to sign
What paper?
Wow you were so disrespectful to that elderly couple :/ I feel so bad for them. I have mental (and physical) issues too, but I don't use that as an excuse to be a jerk. I also have a SDiT.
honestly you’re just blatantly rude to people at this point. maybe it’s for content but it’s rude and awful. i get you have a condition but that’s not a safety net for you being rude to everyone you see that doesn’t act exactly how you want them too. you need to focus on your actions and words. i’m honestly really disappointed of your actions on your channel regarding things like this
Hi Lexi I love you videos❤️❤️💛💛❤️💛💛💛🐶
Zeus is getting so good at his training! I love you guys!
I didn't see the dog anything..I don't understand why you said that's not how service dog act
Service dogs DON'T PULL OR WALK UP TO PEOPLE
@First Last they don't pull. They focus on their handler. They don't go up to other people or dogs. Service dogs are also NEVER on a flexi leash.
@First Last in this situation you're basically saying the dog is trained to drag it owner around, which was what it was exactly doing. You can't use a flexi leash because it confuses the dog and makes the dog harder to train to heel.
@First Last So, correct me again.
@First Last Flexi leashes confuse the dog of where they should be. You as well as I should know this. Its not practical to use a flexi leash because of that. Flexi leashes are horrible to use, maybe great for a pet dog but not for a working dog. I'm a handler myself and know this cause I train dogs. But whatever you wanna think. 🙄 I'm not gonna argue with you on FACTS. Have a nice day, goodbye.
wow zeus is doing SO Well so fast!!! look at that good boy in the mall im impressed!
i don’t think we actually realize how small Dakota is Max is already bigger than her 😂🤦🏻♀️
Can I ask, why’d you get Max if you have Dakota?
Breeauna Ryan because it’s takes years to train a service dog completely and Dakota is getting older so when max is 100% trained Dakota will be about ready to retire. Also so that they do not need to be worked 24/7 so let’s say she has a panic attack at night one of her pups will help her and the next day she will take out which ever one got to sleep so they are not tired
Breeauna Ryan I have had nights where my dog has had to do DPT all night and stay awake to alert me to my blood pressure. And the next day I would have to skip school because my dog is to tired to do anything really
Another reason aside form the ones you got in the other comments, she had said in a past video that a bigger dog would suit her more. Max is already slightly bigger than Dakota and not full grown. I hope this was helpful.👍
Hi love your videos and keep up the good work ❤️❤️❤️
had an old lady here in CT bring her little yappy aggressive dog into the barns&noble Right passed the sign that says Service dogs only(This is in the Buckland hills mall which has signs EVERY WERE Stating SERVICE DOGS ONLY NO PETS) this demon dog was a little shite and bark/screaming at the two legic service dogs that were in the store(they ignord it like the good working doggos they were) employs insted of telling this lady to LEAVE came over to the baby carryer she had her demon in and petted it and talked to her about how cute it was ECT and she said it was a service dog,when i went over to try and educate the difference between ESA and Service Dog she was incredibly rude and insisted they were the same thing,and the employes also instist it was the same and if i was going to harras her and her barking deamon i was going to have to leave the store!i reported their behaior to corprate as they CLEARLY need education in that location,so sick of frigon ESAs being pased off as SDs!
This whole relationship is hella yikes. Lexie literally dragged Nolan to the ground and laughed at him while he told her he was in pain. Can’t wait for the next incredibly messy and incredibly public Instagram breakup.
zerocharisma15 I mean I do the same exact this to my boyfriend. We play fight and beat each other’s ass wrestling all the time, just like they were doing. And we’ve been together for almost 3 years. Okay fighting with your best friend/ boyfriend is completely normal. Me and my boyfriend dead ass laugh at each other 24/7. It’s like a best friend/boyfriend/girlfriend thing. No reason to get up right. Their relationship is perfectly fine
Avras Creations oh god here you are again. Surprising that you got your head out of Lexie’s ass long enough to write a reply.
Nolan and Lexie have always had an extremely tense relationship in videos. From Lexie yelling at him for not working with Max right during training, to this video where she laughed at him while he told her that she hurt his knee and yelled “why the fuck would you do that”, if you think that’s a healthy relationship, then sweetheart I don’t know what to tell you. Then again, Lexie publicly humiliated you and triggered you but you came crawling back as soon as she let you back in to her good graces. So I’m not sure if you’re really the poster girl for healthy relationships.
@@zerocharisma15 thanks for the laugh this morning. Love your comment
(Not for a service dog) My mom and her fiannce just got a Chihuahua that is 1 year old. We have had her for 2 weeks. We got her got her from a friend who got it away from his adult daughter who was neglecting it to the point where she was malnourished. Any tips on how to help with separation anxiety? She barks and whines a lot when we aren't near her. Does anyone know anyway to redirect this anxious behavior? (She has gone to the vet before she was brought to us. Bella is now a good weight. She lucky loves people and never bites.)
Not sure, honestly you need to see a specialist about it, a doctor can't really do anything but tell you to do something. I would recommend an animal/dog behaviorist to help with the malnutrition and anxiety separation. Good luck, I hope your dog get better, have a nice day/time! 🐶
Victoria Stillwell has done some great videos on It's Me Or The Dog on separation anxiety!

Could you do a video on how you trained your dogs? I'd love the advice lol
how much does training usually cost because soon i wanna get my new dog into training for emotional support because i need it even though she wasnt a service dog she still helped me cope😞
ESAs don’t require training because they can’t go in public
@@allieka00 oh ok thanks
40 minutes of nothing oh and she yelled at a confused old couple because she thinks she knows every ducking thing.
I wish I could block channels
Pretty much every video lol
Ya someone who doesnt respect their elders....lovely. You can educate and still be respectful. But everything she does well is because of her and every single thing she does bad/ gets her any heat is because of her apparent PTSD. We never hear about PTSD being the reason in her videos. Only after she gets heat for it. Would love to hear how she got diagnosed. It's quite an involved process but of course we never hear about it. She is willing to talk about the act but nothing technical. It's what liars do. Yes yes come at me. Just go read the DSM 5 - PTSD. They (meaning youtubers and commenters) say PTSD can be different for everyone (this just means they can act out the most vague form of PTSD) but in order to be diagnosed you MUST meet specific criteria, criteria that lexie seems not not need to worry about at all. She loves scary things, can confront strange men/ people, do well in crowds, can talk to strangers, is not socially isolated, does not have any risky behavior that we know of, no issues with the law... no hardcore drug use... yall cant come for me. The DSM is very specific on what constitutes PTSD.
@@lopan3437 preach.
The video is supposed to be a vlog not a entire video of her informing elderly about service dogs. (I don't know much about service dogs, if I am saying something incorrect about that service animal community I'm sorry.) Ps. I'm not trying to attack you. 😀
@LoPan please say more! She pisses me off so much! I actually have PTSD it took months and many hours with therapists and councillors and head doctors and such to get diagnosed. It was a WHOLE ordeal! I love how she suddenly has a service dog for her boyfriend and a puppy I. Training so now 3 dogs like wtf!? And all I see her do is attack, argue with and belittle other people because she says their dog is a fake service dog. I hate that the US let’s you self train, because this is bs
I wish this would stop showing up in recommended lists!
Lexi and her boyfriend bolth have a service dog now #couple goals.ps they have such a cute relationship with each other
Service dogs are not couples goals. Service dogs are not a dinner and a movie. Good lord.
Lo Pan it’s a joke lol, no need to get triggered. Plus she’s probably a kid so give her a break😂
@@caitlynd8843 service dogs should be independence goals, not relationship goals. That's all I am saying.
Lo Pan didn’t really need to sound so aggressive though. That’s all im saying, i get what you’re saying but like i said before it’s only one comment and she’s clearly a kid so it’s not going to be taken offensively. Have a night day/night. :)

Can u do training videos ? I love u guys so much I have a one year old service dog German shepherd for anxiety and also some ems work named Julia
I love how Zeus just sits and instantly lay down with head on floor like ok I’ll enjoy the Cold tile for a min while being trained
There was no reason for you to be so rude to this couple. You don't have an active disability (meaning your not blind, physically disabled, etc,) which means your dog isn't going to lose all it's training the second it's approached by another dog. Not to mention you have Zeus, who is an untrained dog and could distract a service dog. You should be nicer and stop acting like your the god of all dog handlers.
WTF ACTIVE DISABILITY? Who the fuck do you think you are? PTSD is an "active" disability. Major anxiety disorder is an "active" disability. Sometimes just anxiety can be a "active" disability. There's no such thing as an "active" disability. All disabilities have their highs and lows, all disabilities are constant. You can't go one day without it, unless your cured. You have it. And a dog that walks up to a guide dog isn't going to ruin it's training. But you can't take chances. That dog could have attacked her's. This puts our LIVES at risk. You need to understand that. These dogs are medical equipment not pets. And Zeus is in training, he knows basics and at least one task, per law. He's not going to distract a service dog, especially one he is used to.
Have you ever considered feeding a raw diet? It’s much easier with the protein thing! Good video!

"You're not a nice person." Ouch, that hurts *sarcastic tone*
Just be careful as they got older protien will kill the kidneys once theyre done growing the less protein the better. No hate i promise dogs are like babies to me a fed is best lol but i work in a vets office and we see dogs come in with kidnet failure and disease from to much protein. Love your videos and your doggies
Friday and Saturday i was at a karate tournament!
I had an anxiety attack Saturday which has never happened at a karate tournament before so... that happened
The fact that people still stick up for this girl disgusts me imagine if she did this to you and spoke about your dog I know for a fact you’d all go mad
Jade Richardson how do you know it wasn’t in training your making out like the other dog attacked
Max and Zeus did so well at the mall!😍
So interesting that all 3 of you need service dogs. Or is it that you just need the attention? I’ve never heard of people switching their service dogs.
I never have either. Is that something you're not supposed to do? Sorry for my ignorance.
@@buttrflynebula It is sometimes done as a training exercise. To make sure the dog is able to listen to others besides the handler in case of an emergency situation.
@@training.for.cringe3683 Oh okay thank you for explaining. Sorry again.
Have a good day/night.
Just because she has made friends that has service dogs doesn’t mean they all need one any less. Lexie made friends with Kenzie after joining the service dog community, it wasn’t like they all became friends and decided to get service dogs🤦♀️
It’s a strange question, but how did you teach them to lay down? All three of them kinda collapsed when they lay down and it looks like a really good down.
There exhausted from these kids running them all over town. A service dog should help someone to get through their daily activities not run a couple a teenagers running thru a mall acting like idiots.
Tina Taylor I go to the mall with my friends sometimes. We don’t run around like idiots but we shop and have a good time. The dogs are training and service animals love their work. If the dogs were really tiered they wouldn’t want to work and they don’t have a problem with it. They lay down like that because that’s how they were trained.
If you wanted to be left alone then why did you even say something then
They walked up to her, dumbass
their dog ilgit walked right up to her did you even fucking watch?????
Streamy Sudz don’t call me that
I’m sorry geez

I need to get a service dog because I am in a wheelchair and I don't have enough money to buy one from a program. My mom told me I can't owner train because she doesn't want to deal with a puppy! I don't know what to do, my moms single and taking care of me and I'm home alone 24/7. I need a service dog really badly and I just don't know what to do. Like my mom knows about service dogs and how they act its just she doesn't want to take care of the puppy while its in its first stages of training. Can anyone help me?
