I have had a series of seizures twice in less than 1 year. Are there dogs trained to help with seizures?
puppy *sleeps throughout the whole vid*
Wow, Rue sure is gorgeous.
Lovely ainmals service
Hi Zak, I am an animal lover! Would you do some videos that show us how to train our dog to pickup things we drop like keys, paper, our purse, ink pen things of this nature. I’ve tried to get my Yorkie Girl, Bailey to pickup my car keys; but she wants no part of picking up such things. She is very smart but she has a lot of anxiety due to complications after her last set of yearly shots when she was a year old, she is 7 now. I have mobility issues I was born with cp later developing an added muscular disorder. If I can teach her to pick things up for me it would be very helpful. Love all your training videos and your personality is awesome. And that pup is fab, such a sweet, loving little guy…
That floppy puppy is so cute!!!!!
What breed is it?
What breed is Roux?
What if you get exstream anxiety in public places. I tend too worry. Shake. Studder. But having my dog helps me. What do i do in that situation?
I wish you were my brother
see and I was terrified that I was doing something illegal, CHARLEES MOVING TO CALIFORNIA!
What breed is this dog?
My favorite line : 1:45
if i am on my own and go into a big store it would be a good idea for me to have a service animal because i can have anxiety and also i have dissociated before when i was taking care of my sisters dogs and one of them licked me to knock me out of an anxiety attack
having one around in my future might be a decent thing but i am not thinking that far ahead yet because i might not need one at all and they are a lot of work so it might be more negative then positive
thx for this ha bisky vid i got to prove somebody wrong in the comment section thanks to you
you do need the ribbons to show it is a service dog and getting those means you need to jump through hoops at least 3 times and its usually 3 times and you need a therapist and sometimes a psychiatrist to help you
showing a video with how behaved your dog is and the tricks it can do can help out a lot
so glad that you have a vid on this! Im talking to my therapist to see if i should talk to my doctor about a psychiatric service dog, and shes not really informed on the difference between PSDs and ESAs. I am trying to teach her but im so scared she’s gonna tell me i need an ESA rather than a PSD. when i know a PSD will make my life better with the tasks.
I’m looking into maybe getting an ESA… I have a dog already but she’s not trained. I wonder if when you talk to your therapist about getting one, do they point you to a group or shelter that has ESAs? I would guess that you couldn’t just get any dog since they’d need a calm disposition and at least slightly trained to pick up when you are having problems like anxiety or depression lows. My current dog doesn’t care if I’m upset or not which is probably something you don’t want in an ESA.
I don’t know which is best for me or if I should have any at all cause I have extreme anxiety to the point if I don’t have like ear buds for a phone on me I’ll just go straight into a panic attack an I won’t be able to function around people at all An when my anxiety is already bad loud noises or really being around people is really impossible for me cause the only thing I’ll be able to do is go to a conner make myself as small as I can An well sob am barley make a noise but some days i am ok but most of the time
If one thing goes wrong in a day my head kinda quits An won’t be able to do much for the rest of the day An cause of that when this stuff happens. I can’t really get much school work or anything else done cause most of the day I’m focus an busy managing that to focus on really anything else so what should do ??? >< this is probably stupid
OMG what an adorable face!
I have been doing tons of research on this topic and no one seems to have any clear, concise information except for you! This was wonderfully presented, easy to understand and incredibly helpful, thank you so much!
See my mom said I don’t need a emotional companionship dog but my dog ever since I got him made me feel safe and helped me so much with my anxiety and depression and she keeps saying “you just want to bring him everywhere and he doesn’t even have training” but he really does help me and it’s not just because I want to take him everywhere so my mom thinks I’m faking him helping me so I don’t know what to do any advice?
Can a therapy dog be used for you to like keep yourself calm?
My service dog almost washed (dropped out) bc of a fake service dog tried to attack her
How to start emotional therapy dog group?
I have a question. If a non service dog has the proper training, but isnt performing a task, is it still an issue if they go into public, other than, you know, not actually having public access rights?
Why a darling dog love his fact & ears.
oooo the dog is adorwable
WHAT KIND OF DOG IS THAT HE’S CUTE SJSJKDXJXJ
What breed of dog is this?
Not sure if my dog should be an emotional support animal or a service animal she helps with my anxiety
Ok so I’m looking in to getting my anxiety diagnosed I’m not big into taking meds, I have a puppy who I have been training to meet the standards of a service dog , I’m worried that I will get regected if I ask my doctor about getting a service dog , an example of when I believe a SD would have helped I was in a crowded store and there were people yelling at there kids and just it was a lot , I started to have a panic attack I back my self into a corner because of my mental state I became lost and couldn’t find an exit even though it was a small store. I believe having a dog that was trained to find exits when I get like this or a dog that stands in front of me to keep people from coming and trying to help me ( which usually makes it worse) would help in situations like this
Does anybody know if I get diagnosed with something , is there a possibility a SD would get recommended for something like this ?
Good information bringing clarity to the differences. I am interested in service dog training and realized there appears to be a lack of trainers that are in the state of Louisiana. Just found out we are in the same city and learning more about your approach to dog training. We have our differences but overall you do good work. Wish you continued success.
Puppies & matured dogs have been our companions since time unknown to us. They are not simply watch dogs, but much beyond that. They are our best friends and companions when we need the company of someone in loneliness. They provide us mental solace and address our stress. Their company works much more than medicines and conventional therapies. I’ve been keeping a puppy as an ESA for my grand uncle under the recommendations of Pet Support doctors and he is responding fine to the pet therapy.
I’d add to please not distract or pet a service dog. They are, after all, on the job. Also, the ACAA does not force airline to allow in animals. They leave it up to the airline. Thus Delta’s horrid not allowing Pitbull Service Dogs on board. Though they are trained just the same as any other service dog. But airlines aren’t governed by the ADA and should be. If anything, since ESAs don’t require any training, they are likely to act out on an airplane then a properly trained service dog. I would also add in the possibilty of owner training your own service dog. That is legal as long as the dog is properly trained. It is that allowance that allows someone like myself to gain the amazing benefits of a service animal having not one, but 3 mental disabilities and a physical disability.
So I clicked on this to educate myself on the difference between different kinds of working dogs
Great video!
I have anxiety. What should I label dog?
Service dogs are for people who actually need assistance.
can you make some service dog training videos please.
Wtf is going on in the world, CAN PARENTS PLEASE FUCKING STEP IT UP AND MAKE STRONG CONFIDENT KIDS TO GROW UP AND BE STRONG CONFIDENT PEOPLE, wtf
What breed is Roux? He looks so much like our dog whose breed we haven’t been able to identify yet.
Girlish.
Zak: I have three dogs and well I still don’t have a social life…
Me: Wow… RIP Zak
I didn’t know the differences are so far from each other yet all 3 types still serves a similar purpose, help and heal a person.
I’m training my toy poodle to become a therapy dog for my friends who have depression. Can i train my dog properly and call it a therapy dog? Or do i have to register her as one?
as a service dog handler, i love this video. i was ready for a bunch of misinformation but zak did NOT disappoint!
Pro tip: the service animal status under the ADA is specifically limited to dogs and – believe it or not – miniature horses. Emotional support animals can be a wide variety of species (dogs, cats, birds, rodents, etc.).
my service dog is a service dog for phyciatric reasons and my 0arents trained her themselves I have a video on YouTube if u want to whatch it that would be amazing
