I need to get Daisy a “Service Dog in Training” harness. Where did you all get them and/or what brands do you prefer? Links to products/websites for bonus points!!! Thanks!

Ranger loads differently into my car and his dad’s car. (Dads in the trunk since we don’t have a cover for his backseat yet and mine into my backseat with his seatbelt) Since he loads differently into each car, I thought it would be good to post to show multiple ways of loading a fur baby into a car. Although we always take my car since Ranger prefers it and it’s safer. Plus for some reason he loves sitting like a person and looking out the window 💕

We’re still doing training throughout the day, but taking a break and headed to the beach for a little walk. Daisy likes to find crab holes and dig for crabs 🦀. Unsuccessfully, of course :) We always fill the holes in so no one trips, but it’s one of her favorite past-times! 🏖️ 🌊 🐶

So after chatting with Amanda about Daisy‘s loose walking with me. I’m gonna change the phrasing from heel (because it’s not a true heel), to “with me.” I’m not going to use the word heel until we’ve gotten through the spot training and she’s doing a true heel. I think she’ll be fine with the phrasing change since she’s pretty attentive and often figures out what I want even without the verbal cue (by my body language). At the end of the video, I have her jump up on my shoulders and that’s how we take selfies :-)

What does a trained service dog actually look like while navigating public? 🐕‍🦺 This video demonstrates some of the most commonly used service dog behaviors used during public access training and everyday outings: 🐾 Heel — walking calmly next to the handler 🐾 Wait — patiently waiting until there is room to move forward 🐾 Sit 🐾 Stand 🐾 Down 🐾 Back Up 🐾 Leave It 🐾 Rear-end awareness — make tighter turns in crowded spaces 🐾 Free Dog! — released from working/training time and free to relax and just be a dog
