Why would you train a service dog to be aggressive? That's legit dangerous.
|
|

Well she’s not a service dog. I just hold her collar to regain balance. Nor is she aggressive. She’s protective. My area is very dangerous and just as I’d protect her, I’d need her to protect me.

If you use her i think she considered a service dog .
Idk its a ehh gray area best to just becareful when talking about it or doing it .
If you need her for balance then she is i suppose in some ways a service animal.
I woild just be careful about this gray area

The area might be Dangerous but if your dog attacks someone they could legit get put down sadly.
I would be careful with how your train her like that it could become a problem
|

Yeah that’s why I don’t call her a SD. Literally if I injure myself or something I just hold onto her so I can go sit down. She doesnt perform any tasks or anything. Same thing as when she would rather be outside playing and I have to lead her inside I guess. I don’t feel right calling her a service animal because of that

Understood with that just be careful with how you appoche the attack dog area though alot of people tend to have them.
An agreesive type dog with its owner not always a good thing. If she gets lose shw could cause real harm to someone because she was tought to attack when scarred .
Idk gray area for sure
Do you need a service animal?

As said, she’s never bitten anyone. She just barks and growls at people who come too close. I was nearly kidnapped as a child and have had many adults hit on me and put hands on my shoulders and such when I was 10-11. She basically only barks if it’s a totally unusual situation where someone gets extremely close, follows, or if I get nervous the way someone talks. That’s why as soon as I relaxed and let her know it was okay, she was friendly and thank playing with the girl and her grandpa, really happily and such. She reads my body language very well as I do hers. I appreciate the concern, I really do, but she listens very well to me and won’t do anything unless someone physically did something to me, and is EXTREMELY easy and quick to calm down and relax

I would get her trained and paper for a service dog though
If you use her after those things she considered a serivce dog if she goes in stores etc.
She does not half to do anything some service dogs legit confort there owner.
Notnall service dogs bring things some just be used for things like balance and protection.

She’s never bitten anyone, other than toys and when training when my helper would physically touch me. She hesitates and doesn’t do anything at first anyway.
I do not need a service animal. I injure myself a lot with old injuries and sprained stuff, so I usually use hold onto her then or, as said, feeling weak due to the very very rare seizure or fainting. I wouldn’t need a service animal, nor would I call her one. Nor would I call her an attack dog.

I don’t bring her with me to any store that isn’t a pet store. I feel like she is an emotional support animal, which is not a service dog, but I haven’t been people evaluated to need one.
|

Ahh your miss understanding haha
Was just woundering as she does as a service dog would !
|
|
|
|
|
My bad! Then nope. I basically just hold onto her as if I needed to bring her back inside or something like that.
|
|
|
|
|
With your seizures you could get one more then likely
Glad she does well for you! I always take my serivce dog jogging with me cause i never know when ill blakc out lol

It’s something I’ve considered actually! I talked to a doctor my mom works with about it and said that since it only happens once or twice a year, if that, I wouldn’t qualify in my area. That’s totally fine. She’s still a wonderful dog for me, and I’m so thankful to have her!

|
|
|

What kind of dog is Karma? Just out of curiosity, no stigma :)
I feel the whole dealing with a not really dog friendly dog. Outside of our family pack, my Husky I had when I was younger was very dog conscious. He was wary of any dogs outside of the 'ones he knew, but was a real sweetheart with the dogs of the pack. His hackles would be fully up and he would show teeth if they got too close, but all it took was some reassurance from his 'human pack' and he would (very begrudgingly) let them be in the same general space as him (like for example if we saw another dog while on a walk).
Also know the dog trained for tasks but not a 'service' dog feel. Our newest pup is really freaking smart and I've been teaching him for fun to assist with random tasks but I don't need a service dog. We take him into pet stores and really anywhere hes allowed in the area for training as well so hes used to other dogs and people and we always get the question if hes being service trained. We have been thinking about trying to get him therapy trained in the future, but for now its just nice to have someone who helps with the groceries xD

She’s a Labrador retriever x German shepherd dog x border collie. She looks like a Lab, size of the BC, but the drive and temperament as a lower energy GSD. She has a wonderfuloff switch!
That’s similar how Karma acts with other dogs! She generally just holds her hackles up though and snaps of jumps if they get too close, hence me having to have held her harness and collar. It’s a journey, but she’s doing better. I can’t blame her though. When you’re nine weeks and 10 pounds, a 10 year old 68 pound Labrador x English springer spaniel x German shorthair pointer slices your muzzle open, it’s not the best experience. Felt horrible for her, but I can understand the nervousness. I’m glad your husky is easy to relax if you let him know!
Yes! She does some things a SD would do. She leads me to a safe spot if I need it when passing out and helps my with my balance when I get injured. I don’t need a SD and she is absolutely positively not trained for it. It’s the equivalent to leading her somewhere using her collar ya know? I do try to do the same thing, taking her to places and stores that allow dogs! If someone asks, I always tell them she’s not a SD but does help with balance. It’s not even mobility, as I can get around fine lol so glad to have someone who understands those things!

Aww sounds like a cute mix!
Yeah he was a real good boy, we never had any issues with him. It was the neighbors dogs that were a problem; my first Shep wanted to play but the neighbors dog (freaking Pomeranian) didn't and she lashed out, got him on the muzzle. More of a warning than anything but it was enough to make us wary about letting them in the same space unsupervised. Then not long after we got my first Golden the neighbors Pitty got loose and attacked her. We really lucked out on that one; she had been in the yard minding her own business and at that point she was trained to not leave the yard so we would just let her out. Thankfully my gram came out just in time since the neighbors dog had my Golden by the throat. We also lucked out because even after that she was still fine with other dogs of all kinds, not even a moment of fear even though she was only about a year old and it could have really done lifelong damage. I guess you really just get lucky some times when it comes to dogs since really anything can happen. It was a real shock when the Pitty attacked; she was a real sweet girl who loved to give kisses and play with little kids. You just never know sometimes. (Not that I have anything against Pitts after that, the ones I have met since have been such sweeties).
Yeah honestly with our pup its more of "What can we do to keep him busy so he doesn't get destructive" because he is a huge chewer and so smart he will figure out a way to get in to things he shouldn't (taught himself how to open the oven (so we no longer hang towels on the oven), taught himself how to open the back door (so now we can't leave the deadbolt unlocked), Likes to open the dryer and take out freshly dried towels to cuddle with (*facepalm*), and his newest trick is nudging open the window in the office that we often leave cracked for airflow. Well we only leave it cracked instead of all the way open because the screen is ripped and haven't gotten a chance to fix it. So the bugger will open the window and basically let the cat out (she will climb through the rip) so we have to take out the screen and climb on to the roof out there to get the cat since shes a dumb cat who is afraid of heights).
Have you thought about getting her classes for the basic Canine Good Citizen test? we have our pup set to take the class (its pretty much a step below therapy dog) mostly because it keeps him busy and learning. Between basic training and agility classes I'm surprised he still finds ways to be a silly little pup but he does.
