Hello! I was just curious if anyone here has a service dog for arthritis and how it works? I was diagnosed with JIA at 16 and now at 22 I have RA. Things like bending over, squatting or getting up from a chair can be really hard for me sometimes. I've considered getting my Bernese mountain dog service trained to help me with these difficult tasks. Does anyone have a service dog solely for arthritis?
We all know her mostly one of the first "famous" content cr
creator on yt but whats with people trying sooo hard to copy her cringe confrontation Edit i didn't realize how many followers this person has so I feel like its ok to drop the account its Mal rased by a teen or now it stormed she is 100% faking for clout and not very smart in how she is doing it because she is literally posting proof she is 100% fine lol and pill flexing over the counter medication lol confrontation content. Especially teens. And I have seen this one account blow up (she is very underage so not gona say who but if you know you know) she got a puppy with hip problems and aggression issues and put her in uncomfortable situations for clout. And some how exploded after that one video with the creepy man. Well now she and others alike are all the sudden disabled and needs a service dog so now her suppressed high drive dog is a service dog in a country that only recognizes gide dogs(yet she herself fake spots lol) but it came under fire that she literally isn't disabled like at all. So she gets every test under the sun to find something wrong with her (shocker she is healthy) and her "disability" is a common among her age and something that gets grown out of. She takes footage from the appointments to pretend she is sick although makes the mistake to literally show the results (they are normal) for clout. This comes to my question as to why tf teens want to pretend to be disabled to get a service dog why on earth are service dogs a trend now. This is coming from someone who was a teen handler who had a service dog accompanying me to school. It wasn't a trend back then and I was bullied hard for it. I think this needs addressing Especially on Instagram. Its not a trend not fun and shouldn't be used for content. One day we wont be alowed service dogs if this continues and thats what scares me. They will just do away with them. And it wont be socially exepted to have one
Turns out they’re not an old man with facial blindness…
I didn’t realize “attention-whore” qualified as a disability.
Hi guys, I’m a college freshman and I go to an hbcu so their housing office sucks. They assigned me to a new room the night before move in and the girl told me she was allergic to cats, but my family feels like she was lying because her mom was yelling at me through the phone telling me that cats were disgusting and she told me that cats shouldn’t be in schools, after I told my mom what the other girls mom said she immediately told me to pack up my stuff and we went and got assigned to a new room the same night. However, they didn’t tell me that the new room I was getting assigned to had a kitten in it. It’s a male and he’s not neutered because he’s too young, and I have a female cat I got from the shelter so she’s spayed. However, my roommate is a sophomore which makes this even weirder but the housing situation is just fucked up. I was so tired from the run around all day that I immediately went to sleep, and the next day my roommate told me that they were hissing at each other while we were sleep because she was on the phone with her friend and her friend was trying to wake her up on the other end to get them to stop. My roommate that I have now is way better than the other one but hbcu’s suck at accommodating people with disabilities. Because technically I’m supposed to have a single.The room is a good size for both cats but for now I’m keeping my cat in the bathroom with her litter and everything and the other kitten in the room, and we’re gonna make them switch places each day so they can get used to each others scents. Does anyone have any tips on how to get them to not be aggressive towards each other.?
making everything monumentally more complicated than it needs to be.
Heyyy everyone. I wanna give a little context first. I don’t have an Akita but owning one has been a dream since 5. I’m 18now and I’m going to collage and I want to spend my collage years part time learning to train dogs and wanna be certified. I want to be as ready as I can be to be a qualified Akita mom after I graduate and start working.
Unfortunately in my country service dogs are not legally permitted to own unless you have a severe physical disability. So even though I know I can’t get my dog certified I still want her to to be able to help me with my disorders and get trained. I’ve never seen a Akita as a service dog so I’m curious to know your opinions.
Also because there isn’t any official training here I will be the one doing the training myself with the training I will get before I get my dog.
I worded it a bit weird but I hope it makes sense.
Thanksssss!!!
They are actually, arguably, the only classification that should not count as a service dog.
I found the original podcast so you don't have to. Here are some key points:
-The dog is a nervous rescue that is extremely averse to being touch by strangers
-The dog is (supposedly) a German shepherd x Great dane. The dog is HUGE (they had the dog's instagram account tagged. The dog stands as tall as the owner on hind legs)
-The dog is extremely dog aggressive and potentially reactive/aggressive with children
-The dog was swapped from a prong to a gentle leader because the dog was still pulling and dragging the owner on prong. Gentle leader is used to keep control of the dogs head and now the dog is prone to freezing in fear because it can not pull away
-Owner justifies the poor behaviour as the dog still being in training and that this giant dog will be a puppy until she is 4 years old due to size
-Dog has been training for a minimum of 8 months
-Dog seems to be, based on timeline, around a year and a half to 2 years old, possibly older
-The dog has 2 "tasks", DPT and what the owner calls tactile support (dog randomly offers attention seeking behaviour)
-Dog is "training" to find exit, but really she is just frustrated so she grabs the leash and drags the owner wherever
-Dog is "training" to pull the handler in a safe direction should she fall. There is no relevant information regarding a disability that would make this applicable as a task
-Dog was a puppy prodigy
-Owner has to bring treats everywhere and makes the dog do "tasks" to break it out of frozen fear state
Another person's post just got deleted from the main sub for bringing up fake and poorly trained service dogs. They weren't calling out anyone specifically, just bringing up their concerns.
Well, I've got news for the mods, suppressing discussion does not make the issue go away. As a handler since 1988, I'm watching with sadness and anger as people turn against service dogs in public because of widespread abuse of the lax rules. I'll be getting a puppy to train soon, and I worry about him/her being attacked by a "service dog." I worry about discrimination even though I am very visibly disabled and my dog will be a breed that is regarded as non-aggressive by the public.
I have several family members and friends who work in retail, and they've all said they're afraid to confront people who bring poorly-behaved animals into their stores. Yes, we all know they CAN kick them out, but the law has no teeth, so the risk of a lawsuit or getting in trouble with their boss is higher than allowing the animal to stay unless it's literally biting people.
I went from being against certification of any kind to favoring a public access test and ID system. I support owner training -- I train myself with help from a professional -- but owner-trained dogs need to be held to the same behavior standard as those from a program.
I understand that people face barriers to access testing and certification -- but there are many ways to reduce them, such as allowing testing via Zoom if the handler lives in a rural area or lacks transportation.
I would love to be able to clip an ID with a QR code to my dog's vest, go about my life, and anyone with questions or concerns can scan it and see that we are legit.
Registration/certification can be done, it NEEDS to be done, and if handlers aren't leading the charge, it will be done in a way that causes harm instead of protecting real disabled people with real service dogs.

Hello, just a reminder not to hop onto another sub when you see a crosspost and mess with the OOP. Thank you.
This person has 2 service dogs btw, and they have a service dog just for stop scratching their skin, you know what makes you stop scratching yourself & get hurt? BODY LOTIONS AND PILLS, I do not have eczema but I do have dermatitis, my skin gets red, flaky and looks like burnt, it even bleeds, and the only thing that helps me are prescription pills and lotions, they heal my wounds and make the itch stop, not a dog
Btw that's why I used the flair "health & safety risk" because if this person isn't doing the right thing (go to the doctor) they will get VERY hurt
I don’t think I need to say much about that list, but I’ll give you some info about the “handler”
They currently have a boxer (around a year old) who they’ve washed about eleventy times, now “permanently washed” and they are training their VERY senior boxer to “be a service dog as the ADA allows it”
This person likes to harass people online and start yearlong arguments with other handlers. They also do not know anything about the breed they keep. They keep their boxers out in the heat for as long as they want to because “dogs can handle it” and they do not know what Brachycephalic means. It’s safe to say this person DOES NOT need any more dogs (they have four I think)
