Hey Folks!

Start at :30 second mark. I can't for some reason upload the version where I edited out me staring at the screen for the first 30 seconds 🤦🏼‍♀️

At the beginning of this video I do a little update on Denver and CoolWhip's relationship with a quick shot of my messy room and setup.

Here are the topics covered on this month's Q&A:

  • Training a dog to handle noisy bathrooms

  • Behavior alerts with silent cues

  • Fading Reinforcement and Reinforcement strategies for trained service dogs

  • Desensitizing a dog to screaming

  • Equipment sensitive dogs and how to help you/them.

    Here's the video on harness loading that is mentioned several times: Harness Loading for Sensitive Dogs

I love being a part of this community because it refills my faith in the dog/handler world. Sometimes i get so hard on my skills as a trainer/handler and hard on my dog’s performance in public because Im afraid of negative perceptions of service dog teams (especially with lots of people claiming they have a service dog now…). All that to say thanks for reminding us its normal to forget equipment (i forgot a leash and when i got to the store i improvised with a phone charger), treats, over reinforce, forget to reinforce, etc. and… its okay! Its always a learning process AND a maintenance process. They arent computers neither are we. Dont ask me to solve an algebra equation people its been 10 years.

I'm so glad it was helpful Emma! I think it's important to normalize the reality of being a disabled person training a dog <3

I have a slightly unrelated question. I've heard that using dog strollers or dog backpacks is bad because dogs can't move away from things that distress them, but I can't drive, and I'm usually getting around with my aide walking and me driving my power wheelchair. So, to get my dog TO parking lots at off-hours and other places where I want to take him for socialization either before he's fully-vaccinated or before his leash manners are ready for that long of a neighborhood walk, I really need a method to get him there without too much frustration on his part (I don't get him until summer, at 10.5 weeks old). I don't really have people who have cars who can help with any kind of consistency, as my weekly autism coach who has a car is helping with doctor's appointments and dog expense fundraisers at least 3 weeks a month. And dogs aren't allowed on public transit here until they're service dogs, plus, the disability transit means your outing is a minimum of around 3 hours if you take it. Thoughts from anyone?

I would use the stroller. Think of it like a traveling crate and get them super used to it. Then, watch your dog's body language and create distance if you see that they are getting stressed or uncomfortable. And then I would just get creative about what's in your local area that you can use. Is there contstruction happening down the street? Go watch! Is there a park within walking distance? Go at different times of day to see different stimuli. Then you get to the harder to get to things as you're able to. You'll also want to focus on a lot of confidence building experiences at home. Hope that helps!
