Service Dogs must ignore other dogs while working. It's not easy, especially for dogs who like to interact with other dogs. When they're off-duty, Service Dogs can play and be silly. But when they're on the job, they have to ignore dogs, even cute little beagles like Phoebe. 🩷

Army Veteran Matt is teaching his dog, Tucker, to focus on him, which also teaches Matt to focus on Tucker. This mutual focus helps prevent overstimulation in a busy store where noises, movements, and smells can quickly build up, resulting in a PTSD escalation. As Tucker learns to read Matt, he'll be able to step in when he sees Matt needs more focus on his service dog.🐕🦺

Marine Veteran William and his self-trained service dog, Nola, are in the background providing support and calm distraction.🇺🇸

Army Veteran Matt is teaching his own dog, Tucker, to alert him when he shows signs of a PTSD escalation - in this case, Matt takes off his hat, brushes back his hair, and puts his hat back on. Matt and his wife noticed this is a common action prior to Matt escalating. So Matt is teaching Tucker to alert him to his medical condition, giving Matt a chance to step away and de-escalate with his service dog.
.
This was one of Tucker's first few tries on this skill at our office. Stay tuned to see his progress!
