Bloopers! I had no idea Chance was behind me trying to participate in my training videos. Best old man 🥹

🚫 Nope — The ADA does not require any kind of certification, registration, or IDs for service dogs.

‼️All the websites you see selling these? They’re scams. ‼️

And when people fall for it, it actually makes things harder for real teams. 💔

Here’s why ⤵️
When a business sees fake paperwork once, they start expecting it from everyone. So the next service dog team that walks in? They face more questions and more barriers.

➡️ But let’s be honest — the ADA part is only half the challenge.

The other half? Dealing with the general public. 😬

Being a service dog handler in public can be awkward, stressful, and sometimes frustrating - but it doesn’t have to be!

Knowing your rights is step one. But it takes practice to confidently and calmly navigate these situations and protect yourself.

🫣 That’s where most teams get stuck.

🦮 That’s exactly why I created my FREE ADA, Public Access, and Dealing with the General Public module. 👇

Inside, you’ll get:
✅ Real-life scenarios I’ve personally experienced (and how to respond)
✅ How to practice so you can build confidence before you’re in the moment
✅ How to advocate without escalating
✅ What “knowing your rights” actually looks like in real-world situations

🦮Teaching your dog to go somewhere is easy when you BUILD VALUE for being there.

👉How do you do that??

👏 Give your dog a reason to WANT to go there and you won’t ever have to fight him on it - he’ll start offering to go there all on his own.

This works when:

✅ You’re sitting down for dinner (keep your dog out of the kitchen and away from your plate!)
✅ Someone comes to the door (prevent jumping before it happens)
✅ Teaching “stay”
✅ Teaching “place”
✅ Settling at an outdoor patio
✅ Tucking under a table at a restaurant
✅ Friends come over and your dog needs to be calm

➡️ What other situations could building value for a specific spot be helpful?
