Service dogs.
Probably one of the most unpopular topics for any pet dog trainer.
And with the recent rise of scammy online courses offering to train your dog to get "service dog level obedience in 2 days" 👀 this has gotten even worse.
I cannot begin to count the amount of service dog training requests I receive.
“Can your online courses train my dog to be a service dog?”
“I need to make my dog a service dog so he can ride on the bus with me” (Yes, someone seriously asked me this)
“Do you certify service dogs?”
No - no - no - and more no.
Service dog training is completely different from pet dog training.
If your dog is trained to walk nicely on a leash and sit and stay, they are a pet dog.
If your dog comes up to you and nuzzles you when you are sad - they are still a pet dog.
If you want your dog to accompany you into stores or fly in-cabin on planes … they’re still only a pet dog and these privileges are not for them.
Service dogs are task-trained.
They are specifically taught to work for people with disabilities.
A dog that solely provides comfort is not a service dog.
I see a lot of people acquiring dogs, labeling them as “my service dog” and *then* going about training them.
This is not how that works.
You cannot just select a dog, put a service dog harness on them and figure the rest out as you go.
We regularly receive requests from dog owners who tell us that their “service dog” pulled them over on leash or nips at visitors.
That their service dog relentlessly chases wildlife on walks or has intense anxiety in social settings.
One time I got a request from a lady who told me that she got a dog from the shelter to be her son’s service dog, but that “service dog” was now biting the son and could I please fix it.
I’m sorry - none of those dogs are not service dogs then. And they likely won’t be service dogs in the future either.
Please be honest about the dog you own.
Unless you worked diligently to train them as a service animal with specific tasks, they are a pet.
A beloved, (hopefully) well-behaved, wonderful pet.
But not a working dog, and you should not demand the privileges that are reserved for true service dogs and their disabled handlers.
Staying clear with this distinction protects the actual service dogs and their owners 🙂

Navigating apartment building hallways with a reactive or scared dog is hard. This sweet boy’s family had already been working with him on his reactivity when he was jumped by another resident’s off leash dog, harming the progress he had made. We’ll be working hard to make sure he and his peeps feel safe in walks. #getrealdogtraining #leashyourdog #gooddogshaveissuestoo #reactivitytraining #dogsofmn

Another Puppy Tip of the Day! Car rides are an essential part of having a healthy pet. The ability to safely transport them to the vet and to fun outings is something that should be practiced right away. Here’s one method for puppy transport. #puppytraining #boxerpuppy #getrealdogtraining

Puppy management tip of the day…always have 👀 on the puppy or use a crate! A lot of chewing and potty accidents happen when people need to do people things…like shower. Don’t step out of the shower into a warm puddle and a half eaten slipper when you have better alternatives. #getrealdogtraining #puppytraining #puppytrainingtips #boxerpuppy #dogsofmn

Letting dogs be dogs when it can’t hurt them or anything else around them is a GOOD thing! This cicada was missing a wing and going to die a slower death or get eaten by a bird anyhow, so I let Luna have her fun. But…due to their exuberant exoskeleton you don’t want your dog to down these like Skittles. It could cause a tummy ache. #getrealdogtraining #dogsofmn #letdogsbedogs #Hastings

This is pretty last minute but we had a total of 4 dog spots open in our Patio Pups workshop as of this morning. If you’re interested in one or more of those spots, text me at (612) 440-5773. We ride at noon and I have extra supplies so don’t fret about being “unprepared”. #patiopups #dogsofmn #dogsofwisconsin #hastingsmn #dogsofhastingsmn #getrealdogtraining

LOVE seeing hard training work pay off!!! Thanks for sharing Kiwi being beautifully calm in her front porch, even with dogs walking by. Great work @jbubs180 #getrealdogtraining #bullybreedadvocate #dogsogstpaul #reactivitytraining

Charlie has the prettiest pretty boy strut. Pace matching (randomly switching up the pace on a walk) is a great way to work on your dog’s engagement. Sometimes a simple jog can get your dog interested in you as much as their favorite treat. #getrealdogtraining #belgiantervuren #floofy #dogsofstpaul #trainyourdog

Office tour. Yup I’m like most small business owners…trying to figure out the balance between business and personal. Actually that’s just adulting, but I feel like solo and small entrepreneurs sometimes adult a little harder. Although I’d absolutely not have it any other way. So this is your reminder that online lives are edited, that you can’t have it all, and if you say you are you are lying or trying to sell some b.s. #getrealdogtraining #soloentrepreneur #womanowned #shoplocal #hastingsmn #busylife #thereappearstohavebeenastruggle
