Stay

 You will need:
-clicker
-treats
-patience 



This dog is an ADA compliant service dog. It is only off leash because its handlers disability requires it. I do not support breaking state or county leash laws. Please ensure you are following your local leash laws.




    First, get your dog to sit. (or lay. whichever you prefer.) Then put your hand out flat facing them. Tell them to stay and take a few steps back. wait 3-5 seconds then click the clicker and toss them a treat. Gradually add more time and distance. After they have it down with sit, do it with them laying down. If they do not stay at first and try to come tell them "ah-ah", and place them in the same position in the same spot.

Crate Training

  Feed them in the crate every day WITHOUT closing the door. This teaches them that the crate is a good place to be, as good things happen in it. He will eventually start going in on his own in hopes to get food.  Crate them while you are home. This teaches him that the crate does not always mean you are leaving him.  Leave the door open and reward him/her with a treat any time s/he decides on their own to enter the crate. This teaches them that the crate is a safe space, not a trap. S/he may come and go as he pleases “most of the time”. Leave an interactive toy in the crate when you leave. This gives them something to do. If the crate is boring but outside the crate is fun, naturally they will resist the boring place. You need to make the crate more interesting than the outside.  DO NOT leave water or food in the crate. This can lead to them drinking too much and having an accident. Holding their bladder for too long too often can cause urinary tract issues amongst other health proble

What laws apply to me and my service dog?

Service VS Therapy VS Emotional Support Animals

 I have been getting an influx of messages asking what is a service dog, and how do they differ from other types of assistance animals? In this article I will be going over the differences between the 3 along with the laws pertaining to them.  Service Dogs: A Service dog is any dog that has been trained to perform a task to aid their disabled handler. some of these tasks (but not all) are described below: Deep Pressure Therapy: this is when a dog is trained to use its body weight to target specific pressure points. This can help lower heart rate, bring someone with PTSD out of a flashback or panic attack, lessen the time someone has a seizure, reduce pain, and so much more! This can be compared to someone who has sleep insomnia using a weighted blanket to help them sleep. It may look like the handler is cuddling with their dog, but the dog is actually working when you see it laying on its handlers lap or chest.  Medical Alert: This task is one of the most common. Dogs have an amazing s
