I have a 7 pound chihuahua service dog and one thing i wish people knew is im going to carry my sd when where in a crowded place. He’s does a perfect heel right against my left leg and still so many times he’s gotten kicked because someone hasn’t noticed him! So he has a sling for crowded places- never allowed in a cart, never allowed on a chair, or on my lap when where out eating. But i get so many looks and ‘oh you cant hold your sd’. Yes you can they just arnt allowed on items that belong to the public place.
I have a 25 pound dog I’m training soon to be my PSD to help with my anxiety disorders and yes they are a thing and they have all the rights a big service dog has, my dog already senses when I’m stressed scared or getting ticked off by loud noises so she comes and paws at me or sits in my lap.

I have a ten lbs chihuahua as an SD.
This video is old training footage and only contains about 1/3 of her tasks (some things like the light switch have been completed and we used a chair but switched to a touch lamp on the floor)
It also does not show her obedience or tricks or how some of her commands are in English, German Spanish and hand signals
Lovely video! I have a 4.5 long haired chihuahua service dog for PTSD and panic attacks, and she has been a huge help in allowing me to live a normal life.
I don’t know why people think small dogs can’t be service dogs like they can do stuff that big dogs can’t but there just not taken as seriously as big dogs and I hate that
I work my service dog in a car seat that I use on a stroller base when we are out and about especially at the store and Drs offices. Her stroller doubles as my walker for mobility assistance. Her weight is also perfect for pressure therapy. I’ve also been able to train her to alert me to chemical changes whether it be my blood sugar highs/lows and pain alerts so that I can sit before a pain wave hits.
Im getting a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel for my Service Dog and this is one of my biggest fear is the comments of them being smaller. Ive literally already lost many friends just at the prospect of me getting a service dog. People are just mean and disgusting
Taught a small Maltese to tell my aunt when her blood sugar is too high and too low for her type 2 diabetes she’s very happy with her even lost weight and her Alzheimer’s seems not be bad anymore as well

My pomeranian is my service dog and she is self trained and going to training for my disabilities i went to walmart and i saw 2 big service dogs freaking out when they saw my dog and she didnt care all service dogs dont have to be big
I was at a Starbucks with my Maltese chihuahua mix, service dog in training, and one of the workers walked up to me and said i cant have a dog inside. I told her he’s a service dogs. and she rudely replied"ya right, its fake". i briefly explained that my disorder does’t need a large dog, and he is for retrieving things i drop, retrieve medication, and helps me through my Axiety and panic attacks. she didn’t really believe it and told me to get out or she would call the cops, i said go ahead. she was but her boss told her to leave me alone, he is a close friend of my sister so he knows all about my disorder and my service dog, keep in mind he (my dog) stayed the entire time call under my chair. and only got up to nudge my led because i got bad anxiety.
WHAT IS THIS MADNESS????
Thats like saying Asian people can’t play basketball because they’re small

I trained my own assistant dog Zeus. He is a Yorkshire terrier so quite small. I love him
I think like a lot of people would like a small service dog but they wouldn’t be able to perform the tasks needed that a bigger service dog can.
reading the title i was about to get mad because i have a small service dog and she’s great but then i realized
My friend has a service dog the dog her name is jada she helps my friend with he mental illnesses

My pomeranian husky mix (is kinda small) is very good at anxiety tasking. He’s just the right size to give dtp and bring my med bag.
