The guy overheard us (we were really close to him) and explained that his dog was working right now, and his dog knew since their vest was on. He proceeded to take off the vest, and second he did, the dog did an adorable dog smile and rolled over for belly rubs! The dog was so stoic a second before, and my sister was super happy and excited to get to pet the cute dog.

    • If you ask nicely, you'd be surprised how much you might get to pet a service dog - as long as the handler is not having an extraordinary really bad day. If they politely decline, politely walk away. When it comes to very little kids and my wife's service dog, my favorite way to explain it to them is that he has a superpower: he can tell when Mama is going to feel bad before she even knows that she's going to feel bad, and he can tell her to take her medicine before she even knows she needs it. He's a magic dog! But if you pet him or play with him, it disturbs his magic, and Mama might get hurt if you interfere with his magic. And that's why you always leave a dog alone is wearing a vest. Little ones may not grasp the concept of a service animal, and they certainly don't grasp the concept of personal space, but they all understand magic immediately.

  • My English teacher my junior year of high school had a service dog named Zoey, her job detecting low blood sugars and anxiety assist. The anxiety part was more for students, and my teacher would let Zoey walk around and sit by whoever needed her. That was usually me, the kid with severe anxiety 😂 Edit: I didn't expect to get so many likes and possitive comments, so I wanted to tell about Zoey more. She was a little Yorkie with long hair and my teacher used to put a bow or a flower clip on her head. She was initially trained for anxiety and was a therapy dog for students, but later on my teacher was diagnosed with diabetes, and saw how smart Zoey was and got her trained to alert to her changing blood sugar levels. She had just started teaching at my school the year before and didn't bring Zoey at the time while she was in training, but once she did she became a member of the school staff. Even got her own picture in the Yearbook!

If it wasn't for him, I would not be writing this in English today. I wish I could have done more, but I was just a small kid. I hope your anxiety is better. All the best.

Not to mention the dogs have to be caged while they wait and hear and see all the stress of the other dogs being groomed while they wait. It's a horrible environment for a dog (and a person).

  • Honestly, service dog handlers actually educating children on why they can’t pet a service dog is very very useful. When I was little I ran up to a lady and wanted to pet her service dog not knowing you can’t and she stopped and taught me why I can’t. Since then i was always really respectful around service animals. And dogs in general because she also taught me how to properly approach a dog when I am given permission to pet them (letting them sniff your hand first, look for any aggressive behavior)

The only "perk" is that living spaces must make reasonable accommodations for ESAs. An ESA cannot go into a pet free public space though. A lot of businesses don't know they can kick out any animals that are unruly/dangerous or not potty trained. We learned that from a police officer that helped us remove a "service" dog that was being aggressive at our restaurant. You just can't ask people for proof or tell them their service dog is fake.

  • Dad has a service dog. She’s the only one we know of in the community. For the most part, people don’t bother her or disrupt her while working. Those who do are very very young children (we are talking like, 3, barely able to comprehend dogs also having jobs like humans). Dad likes to be educational about the whole thing. Mostly it’s children who approach her and they all have learned not to pet her. Dad will always answer their questions regarding her if it isn’t rude. Since she is the only service dog in the town we know of dad thinks of this as a public service. The parents of the children are pretty supportive and often thank dad for helping their child learn how to be around service dogs and being patient with practicing with them. Dad has different ways he approaches teaching. For those who are school age he approaches the question of why they can’t pet her while working by comparing it to concentrating while doing difficult homework that you want to do well on. This usually has the children telling the dog to work hard and good job and good luck before going back to their own family. For the oldest he slowly levels it up from there. Dad is pretty good with kids. Honestly? We don’t let it offend us unless it’s adults or older teenagers who should definitely know better. If I had to say, of the two, we have far more issues when it comes to adults than the teens. I can think of maybe three teens total since my dad’s dog started working that were an issues and more than a dozen adults in the last year that where an issue. I think it’s the sense of entitlement that comes from being an adult? Maybe? Or maybe teens being so plugged in keeps them just more aware of the social appropriateness of being around a service dog? I don’t know. But, honestly, we live in a very good community so rarely is there an issue of people being inappropriate in their behavior around service pups. As for what my dad’s service dog does, and dad is fine with me sharing this, she monitors dad’s blood sugar and warns him as to it being high or low. That’s her official job but she has also taught herself on how to deal with him emotionally, if his blood pressure has gotten wonky, if he is dizzy, if he is having a stroke, has even fetched his inhaler during bad asthma. Even the time my dad fell on a walk of theirs (thin layer of silt on the sidewalk after it rained) she ran off to get someone to help dad stand again. She has come to get me other times dad has fallen too. Considering dad’s health we are considering introducing the paramedics in the nearby firehouse to her formally so she and they can get to know each other in case they ever need to be called for dad. Dad is….not the best health wise. And he is prone to accidents too. Just so they have more control of her in situations we think it’s important for her to be introduced to paramedics and know how to work around them without being in the way. Dad, by the way, completely trained his service dog himself. She is still a legitimate service dog despite what most people might think on hearing that. Dad is an amazing trainer. Has even trained some of his previous dogs for acting in commercials and such. He only does these jobs for the ones who would thrive and derive joy in working. His current service dog was actually adopted from the pound with the intent for us to simply have a pet. When we realized she was waking dad at night only when his blood sugar was low, we realized she needed training if she wanted to continue to do that job. She was a skill she already had and dad was in sore need of it at the time. Her hard work had made great gains for dad in his overall health. It’s amazing. She’s also a great emotional support to him. He always misses her when he doesn’t feel he can safely take her somewhere (like when she was forced into medical leave by the vet after she had a small surgery. We actually had more trouble preventing her from working and trying to rest instead). She’s a gorgeous and well trained dog and we all enjoy her company. Other than dad her favorite things are my uncle’s puppy (who is starstruck by her and tries to imitate everything she does), her own dog (yes we adopted a dog for her that she selected), my nephew, children in general, dog friendly bacon bubbles, and fish skin treats. Oh and bug hunting. She loves bug hunting. Spring and summer is always hilarious as the big bugs start coming out. We can see her chasing down grasshoppers off all the fences and in the grass. Oh!!!! And she likes people watching (we will take her to the top floor of the mall, as a treat, so she can watch the people below pass by), and watching fish (we have taken her to the aquarium as a treat before, she adores it and will watch for hours if allowed). It’s honestly cute to watch. She is a serious dog about her work but quirky as heck and hyper outside of it. She’s a bit of a workaholic though and she has been known to stop mid play if something comes up with dad health wise just to warn him. She’s good like that.

  • Going through TSA (and Korean security) with an animal is so easy compared to going through security in China with an animal. I brought three disabled cats home with me when I moved from China - I had to fly three different times to get them out. Each time I had to argue with them that I was not going to put my animal through the x-ray machine that all the bags/laptops go through, I would carry them through. It got harder every time. Getting them out - not just the flight but everything leading up to it - was one of the most stressful things of my life. Police, apartment complex security guards, students, really anyone, would regularly beat dogs and cats to death or feed them poisoned meat. I once was called to pick up a cat someone found in their apartment complex and had convinced the guards to leave in a cage till I could come pick it up, but literally within 5 minutes of agreeing, the guard slit the cat's throat. People had to be super careful to always take their dog's papers with them on every walk or risk having the dog confiscated or beaten to death on the spot by police for "not being registered." Every time I think I miss China and want to go back, I immediately think of my cats and say no. (And yes, I know this video was about service dogs but I'm just commenting on the ease of going through TSA with an animal, which I have done.)

I get kids love dogs, but my rule as a PreK teacher (cuz dogs not on leashes would come to the park, I think with owners) was never pet a dog unless you ask the owner first, so if you can't find the owner, don't pet. I saw a service dog when with my kid in the grocery store, so when we got home we read books about service dogs and therapy dogs and emotional support dogs. Rule was the dogs are working, they can't play, we don't pet them or distract them. My kid was 2 and he understood this. Course he was scared of dogs cuz the neighbor's came over towering over him, so he's been cautious ever since, which is fine with me.

For example my family had a dog which could predict seizures and would always warn us. However she was also possessive/protective of my mom who suffered grand mal seizures, so could Bite or bark towards others. Right gift, wrong temperament. It just shows how much they actually have to pass to graduate as a Service Animal. (Lady has since passed away at 17yrs old. She was a wonderful dachshund with a wonderful gift, just was too fiercely protective of Mom.)

  • I just got certified by my psych and school for an esa, so this vid was super helpful for me doing research. I have severe ptsd as well as emotional regulation issues, and having a dog was deemed as a necessity for me. I truly can’t wait until my girl comes into my life

  • Considering it's varying levels of breaking the law to mess with a service dog, you'd think security would be more aware. Not sure if the law is the same state to state, but I'd be willing to bet every state at least has some laws regarding service animals.

  • It took me a really long time to sympathize with service dog owners getting extremely mad with People Who don't know how to behave around them. When I was really little and in a large mall far away from home for the first time a service dog bumped into me from behind in a very crowded stall, and the owner (older woman) immediately started shrieking at the top of her lungs, screaming for help that I was assaulting her and her dog. A customer grabbed me by the shoulder and yanked me so hard I fell to the ground. Being 7-8 years old, autistic, and very averse to touch and loud noises, I literally couldn't speak or do anything as another man came yelling where the f*ck my f*cking parents were. Meanwhile the woman was still yelling for help even as a crowd started gathering. Hearing the commotion, my dad came running. Now, growing up around very bitey guard dogs my parents were very strict about not touching unknown animals, especially dogs, so my dad refused to discipline me for "touching the dog", which the woman demanded even after we apologized. She then screamed for people to call security. In the end, the woman turned out to be legally blind, and the dog had gotten anxious in the extremely crowded store. Both cctv footage and the store owner confirmed no one in the store had in fact touched the dog on purpose. That was a bigger trauma than any snapping or growling German Shepherd or rottweiler every was though. I hated service dogs for at least a decade after that, and prayed for them to be abolished in public area's like that. Only after a blind classmate finally got his seeing eye dog in our last year of high school, after walking to and from school alone and completely blind (which I thought was incredible but also insane), did I get back my appreciation for service dogs and how neccessary they are. I also quickly became aware of the trouble uneducated people can cause to dog and owner, and that helped me sympathize a little with that woman all those years ago. But darn, it's been 20 years and I still get shivers remembering that.

    • Damn. Makes me angry and I’m so sorry that happened to you. Instead of protecting or listening to you, a child, those “adults” decided to attack you. People need to chill tf out. Some people aren’t trying to be rude when asking about your dog, they just need to be educated. And there are accidents too… I hope you continue to have great experiences and hopefully, be free of your terrifying memories.

    • It’s good your appreciation for service dogs are back but honestly, in that story, I think the woman may have overreacted. Yes she is blind and yes, her dog did show signs of stress but she should have known they were in a crowd despite not being able to see. What happened was not your’s or the dog’s fault so if you feel like you are guilty or the blame for what happened, you can look back here. :)

  • As someone who works, trains and has a medical condition that requires service dogs, I cannot stress how critical it is to educate yourself AND the public for the do’s and don’t of service dogs. And yes - no shade, but there’s a extremely large difference in the training & certification of the so-called “Emotional support” animals (dogs) and “Service” dogs. I understand how closely we can bind with our pets - and even how much we depend on our pets for support & love. But that does not make your pet a service animal. Worse yet, the fact that so many people are now claiming that their often out of control, generally poorly trained pets are “service dogs”, there’s now some places and modes of transportation which refuse to allow actual service dogs to remain with their handlers, which in turn can lead to potentially extremely dangerous - sometimes even lethal - consequences for both members of the team. Because that’s what a service dog and handler are - a team. They’ve workers & trained extremely hard to learn their jobs. These particular dogs are not pets when working - they have critical jobs to do that most have quite literally been custom made to do such as is the case with “Seeing eye” dogs - 90% of the dogs used by people with visual impairment today come from over 50 years of extremely careful, ethical breeding. They are literally bred to be service dogs. Generations of careful genetics and ethical breeding have produced lines of truly amazing, healthy dogs custom made for service - but even so, not all will become one. Not every puppy is meant to be a seeing eye dog, or a police K9, etc etc. The pups who don’t have the right behavioural traits & instincts become very loved pets. Thankfully, there are now specific groups who work with rescued dogs who have the right temperament & train them for service work as well. Those that do check off all the boxes on an extremely long list of criterial have a very specific “shelf life”. Service dogs do not spend their entire lives in service - they get to retire, same as humans. (It used to be that the dog wasn’t allowed to stay with their original handler after retirement, but this has slowly begin to change through the years). These are highly trained animals doing the job they have been carefully selected to do, with partners who’ve been trained how to do their jobs. It is no more ok for them to be kept apart than it would be to separate a police K9 team, or a military K9 bomb squad team. This is NOT a situation where it’s owner can’t stand the thought of poor little fluffy being placed in cargo or just flat out doesn’t want to pay the fee for an extra seat for their pet’s crate, etc, etc. I find it both shocking and demoralizing that the US has only just begun to put conditions & certification in place to protect the rights of both members of these teams. And yes - before I forget to mention it and get yelled at by strangers for it - there indeed *are* actual Emotional support/PTSD service dogs who ARE specially trained to do their jobs as well - and they & their handlers also need support and protection.

  • I have a question for those who know about service dogs. From a very young age I was diagnosed with anxiety and ptsd, it was such a severe case that I would faint often and constantly black out or lose my balance. A service dog never came to mind at the time, but would one have been a good idea? I’m much better now that I’m an adult! I was just curious if this would have been a good idea!

    • A support dog can be highly effective with picking up your distress and can assist with stimming. Which could help during in moments of need to allert you before it overwhelms you. To get a trained dog there are lots of procedures that will asses if a service dog is the right aid and if there are more things (such as coping mechanisms) that need to be in place for the dog to be effective. Service dogs can be highly effective as a support mechanism to help you cope. Then there is the age aspect. Considering it's for psychological needs that might slightly different, symptoms might alter due to age etc.

    • Depends on the age. If you aren't old enough to handle the dog properly all the training will go out the window. We have a saying in the community "A service dog is always training", because your dog may need to learn more tasks to mitigate ur disabilities that could develop and get worse, while also, a handler can inadvertently "detrain" the dog if they aren't educated and mature enough to understand how not to do that and hoe to maintain the training. Plus for the cost in training, cause ur parents most likely wouldn't have been able to train the dog to standard SD behavior, is like $8-15k depending won the breed, trainer, and where u live to get such training from said trainer, and of course, how kuch experience and certifications does that trainer have in service dog training. Of course u are allowed to train ur own dog, but as a child u wouldn't have the ability to do that and parents tend to have work and things..let alone just plainly they don't know how to train an animal. Service dogs are good for high schoolers and older, generally..middle school is pushing it... anything below 4th grade is REALLY pushing it. For children to need a service dog and be worth the cost plus cons of a child handler, the child probably has severe diabetes or seizures, something like that where it is desperately needed for monitoring of vitals, rather than, psychiatric tasks.

Having worked for a major tourist attraction that did NOT allow dogs and still got people trying to smuggle them in, we were full aware of laws and fully complied.
