"Do"s and "Don't"s of Encountering a Service Dog Team

Having worn my vest in various places for the last week or so, I have encountered many people and their strange behaviours.  People never fail to surprise me with how they interact with a SD team, for better or for worse.  To help my readers understand the etiquette of interacting with a SD team, I’ve compiled my observations of people’s interactions with Mom and me, as well as with other SD teams, and I’ve included a list of Dos and Don’ts below.  Enjoy!

DO

·      Focus on a SD’s handler, not the SD him or herself.  You should be talking to the handler, not the dog.  Please respect the handler—if it helps, pretend that the SD is a wheelchair or a blood sugar monitor, because a SD does a similar job but just has four legs and a tail.

·      Try to refrain from asking to pet a SD.  Everyone wants to pet a four-legged friend, which is understandable, but can you imagine how many times a SD handler receives that question on a daily basis?  An SD handler is just like a normal person and wants to go about his or her day, even if he or she appreciates that you are taking the time to ask to pet.

·      Ignore the SD.   While it may seem harmless to you to look at, touch, or talk to the dog, it is vitally (and I mean vitally, in that it is crucial to the handler’s life) important for the SD to remain focused on its job.  For example, a Seizure Alert Dog needs to remain focused on its handler in order to warn the handler of an impending seizure and handle the aftermath.  Ignoring the SD means keeping the handler safe.

·      Keep your pets and your children at a distance.  Both children can be a well-intentioned but dangerous distraction to a SD team.  Again, a SD needs to remain focused on his or her handler, because that focus is crucial to the handler’s safety.  SDs are well trained, but they aren’t completely bombproof—sometimes even the best SD can find a pet or child distracting.

·      Let the SD do his or her job.  Usually, a SD has been trained rather rigorously—it knows how to do its job.  It is not your job to “help” a SD with its job, because your help could really be a hindrance.  For example, a Guide Dog has been trained to recognize the signs of safe street to cross, so yelling out your car window or honking your horn to let the handler know that it’s “safe” just serves to interfere with the SD and could actually place the team in a dangerous situation.

·      Trust the SD to do his or her job.  This is similar to the point above.  SDs are usually highly trained and know their tasks like the back of their four paws (I’m already learning Pressure really well).  You may feel like the SD handler needs help, but sometimes a SD is actually trained to get help if the handler needs it.

·      Read the patches on the SD’s vest.  Let me repeat that: READ the patches on the SD’s vest!  The patches are there for a reason—they aren’t just decoration.  They have important information for the public to know, especially before interacting with the SD team.  Mom and I have already encountered this dozens of times, and I really wish people would read the “Do Not Pet Me” patches on my ESA vest because it’s so distracting when they pet me!  Just to reiterate: read the patches on the SD’s vest.

·      Take care not to step on the SD.  This sounds obvious, but I have seen a SD get stepped on by a careless individual before (luckily it has yet to happen to me—it almost happened once though!).  Please be aware of where the SD is, so you can avoid injuring him or her.  Make sure to watch out for tails, too!

DON’T

·      Pet or touch the SD in any way.  Please do not assume you can pet or touch the SD just because it is well-mannered and cute.  When the SD is with its handler, it is on duty and must remained focused on the handler at all times in order to ensure the handler’s safety.  Petting and touching serves as a distraction and can even lead to dangerous situations for the handler.  Please always ask before you pet an SD—but please refrain from asking or petting if a patch on the SD’s vest asks you to.  Note: this also refers to kicking a SD—please never kick any dog, whether a SD or not!

·      Make noise at the SD.  This includes, but is not limited to: yelling, kissing, saying the dogs name, barking.  Again, the dog must remain focused on his or her handler for the handler’s safety.  Your noises, even if you think they are innocent or well intentioned, are not appreciated and can actually harm the SD team.

·      Feed the SD.  Again, this relates to the dog’s focus and the handler’s safety.  No matter how well-trained a SD is, it can still become distracted by food.  However, this point also related to the health and safety of the SD: some dogs are actually allergic to certain foods, and so your feeding the SD could actually have very serious health consequences for the dog him or herself.

·      Insist on helping the SD team.  While some SD teams will appreciate if you offer your help in a certain situation, insisting upon helping them is not appropriate in most situations.  An SD handler, while disabled, can often determine whether or not he or she can handle a given situation.  While your help is kind and well intentioned, please ask first.

·      Ask personal questions or questions about the handler’s disability.  Did you know that it is not legal for the people in charge of places of public access to ask what a handler’s disability is?  And from anyone (including the general public), these questions are very uncomfortable for the handler to answer, and they are invasive and oftentimes rude, even if they are not intentionally rude.  Please be considerate of the handler’s rights to privacy regarding his or her disability and personal life.

·      Ask to have the dog perform his or her trained tasks.  It is not your place to dictate when and if a SD performs his or her tasks.  The tasks are designed to mitigate the handler’s disability or disabilities, so it can be inappropriate for the SD to perform the tasks when the handler does not need assistance.

·      Draw attention to dog.  Yes, I am a dog; yes, I am cute—I’m pretty adorable and irresistible, or so I’ve been told.  We are all aware of this, yes?  Okay, let’s move on, then.  We don’t have to point out that I’m present; we don’t have to point out the dog by saying “Look, a dog!”  The appearance of a dog in a public place can be a little strange or startling for people, but neither the handler nor the SD needs the distraction or extra attention—the handler is already dealing with a disability, so why emphasize the fact that the handler is “different” from everyone else?

·      Separate the SD from his or her handler, especially in an emergency.  Do not take the leash; do not call the dog to you.  The dog needs to stay with his or her handler—he or she can be as important as medication to the handler.  If the dog needs to find help or be separated from the handler for whatever reason, often it will be trained to do so.

·      Give the SD commands, even when he or she is technically “Off Duty.”  Even an SD “Off Duty” is essentially always “On Duty,” because the handler can’t control when he or she has a seizure, has a drop in blood sugar, has a panic attack, etc.  The dog still needs to respect the handler and be focused on the handler.  Please always ask the handler first before giving commands to the SD, even if it’s something that seems innocent, like “Shake”—it can mean the difference in the handler’s safety.

·      Complain about the presence of a SD.  The SD is allowed to be there with his or her handler—this is the law, not an opinion.  Please don’t discriminate against those with disabilities.  Many people with SDs are already harassed by store owners, hotel managers, etc. who aren’t as aware of the law as they should be, so adding complaints to this trouble can be overwhelming for a handler just trying to buy milk from the grocery store. Exception: under the law, a person with a disability cannot be asked to remove his service animal from the premises unless: (1) the dog is out of control and the handler does not take effective action to control it or (2) the dog is not housebroken.  This can actually be an indication that the SD is not a real SD—it might even be a fake (check out my post on fake SDs and how they harm legitimate SD teams!).  So, if you encounter this behaviour, you can complain.

Sometimes you might know a SD when it is off duty because you are the handler’s friend, family member, partner, etc.  However, this does not necessarily give you special rights to the SD, especially when the SD is on duty—just because you might have more access to the SD when it is off duty does not mean you can ignore my Dos and Don’ts list.  This is still proper etiquette for encountering a SD team, whether you have known them for a moment or an eon.

SD DO: nap under the table at Starbucks!

I know this is more serious than most of my posts, but I felt like it was really important to share!  Thank you for listening, and please educate others on this important topic!  It really makes life easier for SD teams everywhere.

All my appreciation,

SD DON'T: carry a stick larger and pokier than you!

At Dartmouth, We Work Hard, Play Hard

I love doing Down-Stay: it's the perfect time to take a well-needed nap! (and check out my new In Training bandana!)

As you saw in my “A Chai Latte with Skim, Please!” post, Mom started taking me out into public this past Tuesday to start getting me to understand the difference between Work and Play and to get as much exposure as possible to different scenarios I might encounter as a PSD.

Actually, I wore my ESA vest for the first time on Monday, when I went to the gym briefly with Mom on a quick errand. I want to take a moment here just to note that both my vests are the same style and weight, so they feel the same to me, which is why I consider being “vested” the same, no matter which vest I’m wearing—so, Monday counts as my first public appearance or SDiT training session because I was wearing one of my vests, even if it was only my ESA vest.

The vest was a little intimidating at first.  I had never worn anything on my body before—that’s such a human concept—so it was tricky figuring out how to function with it on.  I didn’t even know how to go down stairs with it at first!  Luckily, I am now used to it and realize that it doesn’t change anything about my ability to move or perform actions (thank goodness!).

On Duty at CVS!

So how does a dog like myself learn the difference between my “vested” personality and my “free” personality, between Work and Play?  It’s an abstract concept, and it should really be in Tier II with the more abstract commands, except that it is so crucial to a working dog’s life that Mom didn’t want to wait until Tier II for me to start learning the difference.  I’m lucky in that I’ve managed to pick up on the difference between Work and Play very quickly—I can even go into Work mode in Mom’s dorm room!  I’ve started ignoring people who want attention and am even learning to stick by Mom’s side when I’m “vested,” even though I don’t know Heel yet (Mom says I’m probably ready to start learning that soon).  Apart from being a sponge of knowledge thanks to my Border Collie lineage, there are a few things that have helped me distinguish between Work and Play.

Some of the commands that Mom uses have really helped me learn the difference between Work and Play.  When Mom first puts on one of my vests, she tells me to Dress, which means that I stand quietly and patiently until she’s finished buckling me in.  To do this is simple: she simply puts a treat on the other side of my harness, and I get it as I slide my nose through.  This is just the first step in switching me to Work mode.  After Mom and I are both ready, she tells me that I am “On Duty,” at which point, I have learned that I need to focus on my work.  When I need to transition back to being “normal” dog, Mom tells me to Undress, and then she lets me know that it’s “Playtime” in a very happy tone, which breaks my focused trance.

Playtime in the woods!

Mom’s actions and attitude also help me distinguish between Work and Play.  When I’m in Play mode, she is much more lively and lets me off leash—she lets me sniff, chase squirrels, and say hi to other people if they’re okay with dogs.  However, when I’m wearing my vest, she insists that I stay close, and she constantly tells me to Leave it or to Watch her.  She becomes very focused, too, which helps me remain focused—her many commands make me keep my attention on her.

I can’t wait to do my next PSDiT training session with my vest!  I really like the challenge of learning the difference between Work and Play—it makes me feel like such a smart, good girl!

PS Isn't this post impressively short for me?!

A Chai Latte with Skim, Please!

Wearing my PSDiT vest (In Training patches + tags not pictured; In Training bandana coming soon)

I have some very exciting news!  Today I made my debut in public while wearing my PSDiT vest!  Mom had an appointment to go to this morning, and since I had been given permission to come along, she strapped on my vest and took me with her.

We stopped for breakfast at Starbucks, which was very busy and very overwhelming for a pup who had never been to a place like that before.  But I’m so proud of myself: instead of crouching on the floor and not creeping along (like I normally do when I’m fearful of a new situation), I trotted in right by Mom’s side.  I had to wait in a long line for Mom to order her food, but the waiting was easier than I expected—I just stood right next to Mom and looked up at her every so often to make sure she was doing okay.  As we maneuvered through the store to find a table, I stayed right by Mom’s side and didn’t even mind walking beside her through narrow passages.  Most of the time, I have some difficulty refraining from greeting everyone I see—I love people!—but this morning, I didn’t even glance at all the people in the store because I could sense that I needed to stay focused on Mom.  I'm already beginning to learn the difference in behavior between "on duty" and "playtime," and it's only the first day!

Waiting patiently in line at Starbucks!

After Starbucks, we went to Mom’s appointment, where I was a really good girl but in a slightly different way.  Because Mom was going to be sitting for an hour, I needed to lie at her feet, which might have been difficult since I had only had a fifteen minute walk beforehand—as a Border Collie mix, I usually need a little more exercise than that in the morning to settle down!  However, it was such a soothing environment and I was so “in the zone” from Starbucks that I settled down right by her feet and didn’t move (except to shift positions slightly) for the entire hour.  I even made sure to keep part of myself touching Mom to help with her anxiety—she didn’t even have to train me to do that.

After today, I really feel like I can handle being a Service Dog.  I know I will probably make some mistakes along the way—especially because of my past as a rescue—but I think I’ve shown over the past few days that I am capable of being trained and of handling the situations that will come up in my work as a Service Dog.  I still have a long road ahead of me—two tests, 120+ hours/6 months of training, and deepening my connexion with Mom—but I feel like I can do this, one step and one command at a time. 

Thanks to everyone who shared in my success today!  It’s amazing to have so many people rooting for me to succeed in this.

All my love and puppy kisses,

Kelsie Iris

A Kelsie by Any Other Name (How To: Name)

Before my name was called: destroying Hokey Pokey

After my name was called: "Yes, Mom?"

Yesterday, I arrived in my new home at Dartmouth and met Mom for the first time!  I don’t want to make a hasty assumption since we’ve only known each other for a day, but I think we’ve hit it off pretty well.

Apart from settling into my new home/dorm room, my first official task was to learn my new name (if you remember, Name is on Tier I).  Mom changed my foster name, Molly, to Kelsie Iris, although she just calls me “Kelsie” to make it easier on her and me—this is actually my third name because my name in the shelter was Cali, which actually isn’t too different from Kelsie.  Sometimes it can take a while for a dog to learn her new name, especially after so many changes, but a dog of any age can learn a new name.  By yesterday evening, I already knew my new name was Kelsie.  There are a few training tricks that really helped me out:

1)    When I first arrived, Mom would say my new name (“Kelsie”) and would immediately give me a small treat (she recommends Mini Zuke’s broken in half: ~1.5 calories). This helped me associate this new word, which I didn’t realize was my name yet, with something good.

2)    Similarly, Mom would say my name while petting me, to associate the word with good things—I love being petted and rubbed and snuggled, so this was perfect for me!

3)    Mom, and Auntie-Mommy K (my other mommy, because it’s the 21^st century) used my name frequently to get my attention.  She would often use it before she told me to do something, like “Sit.”  This works because a dog’s name can work much like “Watch Me,” in that it grabs her attention and lets her know that you are talking to her and not the tree over there.

4)    Mom also used my name when asking me to retrieve a ball that she had thrown.  I have a natural tendency to bring a ball back (because I know that as soon as I bring it back, it will be thrown again), so hearing my name as I trotted to Mom helped me associate my name with coming to her.  Since a dog’s name can also function as an alternate to “Here,” this helped me better understand this other dimension of my name.

As a side note, it also helps that I’m very smart (or so says Mom), and so a natural ability to understand new things has also helped me learn my name really quickly.  However, being smart isn’t a prerequisite for learning a new name—like I said before, any dog of any age can learn her new name, but sometimes it will take some dogs longer to do so.  Learning a new name in half a day is quite speedy, so like with all training, it can take some patience on the handler’s part throughout the process.  Luckily for me, Mom has been so patient!

I have decided to try to keep my blog posts a little shorter, if possible, so if I have multiple commands that I have been learning in one day or period, then I will split them into multiple posts.  This will also help organize the commands a little better for anyone trying to use them as guides or pointers (no dog puns intended there!).  So stay tuned for everything else I’ve been learning over the past day or so!

Love you all,

Kelsie Iris

The D-Plan

As Mom prepares to submit her D-Plan today, I thought I'd post my own "D-Plan" (Dog Plan, that is!).

I thought I’d expand a little bit on my last post.  In it, I mentioned that the Tiers plan is open to changes, especially as Mom gets to know me better and understands what kinds of tasks are easier or harder for me to learn.  She is already considering moving Tier III earlier since I enjoy sitting in laps and fetching objects, both of which can easily be modified to some of the disability-mitigating tasks, especially since the sooner I can help her lead a more normal life despite her daily challenges, the better.  It would make me super happy if Tier III were moved sooner, because then I could be recognized as a Service Dog under the ADA sooner!  Granted, I still would undergo the training for two reasons:

1.     It’s the right thing to do.  A Service Dog should be properly trained.  It’s a privilege to be able to go places with my Mom, and I want to respect that.  There is such a problem with fake Service Dogs that owner-trained teams can be hassled because of “lack of proof”—Service Dogs need no identification or certification, but scam companies will sell such things to the general public so that anyone, for a given price, can make their pet dog look like a “legitimate” Service Dog.  Therefore, good training—and the documentation to prove that training, like a videoed copy of a PAT—can make the difference in ease of accessibility.

2.     I think it will benefit Mom to go through the motions of training.  I have yet to meet her and understand the extent of her challenges, but from what I can gather, I think it would be good for her to have a goal to work towards.  I think it will give her a sense of purpose.

All that being said, I thought I might expand upon the three Tiers, so that anyone planning to train their own Service Dog can have a starting point from which to build their own training program.  I’ll list all the commands that fall under the three Tiers and will sometimes provide a brief explanation if the associated action is not terribly clear.  As I go through the training myself, I’ll mention how the training of some of these commands works.  However, if anyone wants to know how a specific command is taught, don’t hesitate to let me know!

Here are the 42 commands I will learn:

TIER I:

1)    My name—Kelsie Iris!

2)    Get busy (the “potty” command)

3)    Sit

4)    Stay

5)    Down

6)    Wait (before entrances/exits, before crossing the street, before getting in/out of the car, etc.)

7)    Release (can shift positions, but not Free)

8)  Let's (focused walking; loose Heel)

9)    Drop it (directly drop the item in my mouth)

10) Under

11) Here (the recall command)

12) Stand

13) Heel

14) Kennel up

15) Bedtime (similar to Kennel up, but at night and possibly in Mom’s bed instead of in my crate)

16) Watch me (the focus command)

17) Leave it

18) Gentle (take a treat/toy gently)

19) Touch (touch Mom’s hand with my nose)

20) Dress (put my nose through my ESD or PSDiT vest)

21) On duty (“working” mode; vest on)

22) Playtime (“play” mode; vest off)
23) Walk on (usually used after Wait; a signal to continue on)
24) Undress
25) Free (completely free to move and play)

TIER II:

1)    Shake

2)    Car (get in the car and wait for Mom to buckle my harness into the seatbelt)

3)    Side (go to Mom’s side)

4)    Jump (jump with all four paws onto a surface)

5)    Off (not a correction: counteracts “Jump”)

6)    Hush

7)    Speak

8)    Go through (go through a doorway, then turn and face Mom and sit)

9)    Back (walk backwards)

10) Paws up (put only my front paws up onto a surface)

11) Visit (put my head in Mom’s lap)

12) Too far (when off leash, I am outside Mom’s comfortable radius)

13) Give (give an object in my mouth directly to Mom; compare to Drop it)

14) Settle

15) Take it

16) Away (step away from Mom)
17) Stay close (come into a radius closer to Mom)
18) Unload (from a car)
19) Get it
20) Starboard (in loose lead walking, walk on Mom's right)
21) Port (in loose lead walking, walk on Mom's left)
22) Out (exit the room)

TIER III:

1)    Ground me (Deep Pressure Therapy; I put as much of my body as possible on Mom)

2)    Texi (Block, "Covered, Protected" in Latin: become a barrier between people/the outside world and Mom)

3)    Push (nudge Mom’s leg until she stops self-harming)

4)    Get my leash/brush (either when Mom asks or when she’s depressed)
5)  Press (twin sister of Ground me: if Mom is standing, I press against her)
6)   Vade ("Walk, Hurry" in Latin: find an exit)

There might be more commands that Mom will add to the list or she might even shift some commands around, but this is how the Tiers are for now.  Again, incorporated in all this training is preparation for the CGC and PAT—since Mom might be moving the disability-mitigating tasks sooner, the timing of these tests might change, but I still plan on taking both at least twice each.

The Incredible Journey

My Service Dog vest: I can't wait to try it on!

In just a week from today, I will officially be a Dartmouth under(dog)graduate—I’m so excited!  But I’ll actually be quite the underdog: did you know that owner-trained rescued service dogs in training (for future reference: SDiT) have the highest failure rate?   So Mom and I are undertaking quite an incredible journey together!

Without the help of the tested-to-success methods of an established Service Dog training program, owner-training can be difficult—how do you know what to do, when to do it, or how to teach it?  How do you know how to walk the walk, talk the talk, or bark the bark?  Mom is trying to sort through this quagmire of confusion and has come up with her own training plan that she plans to tweak for my individual nuances.  The training plan consists of three “Tiers,” each with different commands and tasks that I must learn before moving onto the next Tier.  Just like how Mom has to take exams to test her knowledge in her classes, I’ll be studying to take tests, too: I have to take tests before moving onto higher Tiers.  By the end of all my training, I should know over 40 commands!

TIER I – “The Basics”

Example commands: my new name (Kelsie Iris!), touch, sit, stay, down, here, heel, watch me, leave it, dress

These commands are the basics of the dog training world, so they should be the basis of any dog’s education—Mom says it’s possibly the equivalent of getting a high school education for people.  Before I graduate to Tier II, I have to pass the AKC’s Canine Good Citizen (CGC) Test.  It is a test that can serve as a good goal for all pet dogs, because it encourages good training and behaviour—I highly recommend it for all dogs, not just SDiTs.

Mid-May: when I expect to be able to pass the CGC Test

Early/Mid-June: when I will actually be tested (since it will be easier to be tested once I’m in my second home in California)

TIER II – “The Abstract”

Example commands: stay close, paws up (place paws on a surface), settle, back (walk backwards), side (go to handler's side)

These commands are the next step up, and they involve more complex and/or abstract thinking.  Some of these commands have been taken or modified from upper-level obedience requirements, and all have a basis in creating an individual who will be ready for public life and service work.  Mom equates this to a college education for people, since not all dogs will or are expected to receive this level of education in order to live happy, productive lives.  To graduate to Tier III, I must pass the ADI’s Public Access Test, which many service dog agencies use to test their dogs.  While service dogs are not required by law to pass this test, it is highly recommended that they do take the test, especially owner-trained service dogs, should their legitimacy as service dogs ever be tried in court (helpful hint: recording all tests that a dog takes and/or passes can be helpful should a legal situation ever arise).

Mid-/Late July: when I expect to be able to pass the PAT

Late July/Early August: when I will actually be tested

TIER III – “The Specific”

Example commands: ground me (aka Deep Pressure Therapy), push (counteracts self-harm), distract me (for depression)

These commands are the specific disability-mitigating tasks that I will use to help Mom with her various complications in life (Mom calls them “problems,” but I don’t like that word—I don’t think they’re necessarily problems, because they’re part of her and I love her, so how can they possibly be “problems”?).  This is the final step in becoming a full Service Dog, because a Service Dog must know tasks that specifically mitigate her own disability/disabilities.  Once I master all of my tasks (up to 6, currently), she will take off my “In Training” bandana for good, and I will be a fully-fledged Service Dog, able to accompany her anywhere to protect and love her and to make her life easier!

Late August/Late December: when I expect to be a full Service Dog!

This is just a generic plan, and of course, since I’m a unique snowflake, it will be adjusted to fit my needs and personality.  It’s a good system because it’s fluid.  The Tiers might even shift around in importance for me, because I already have some personality traits and habits that will easily translate into the Tier III tasks, so I might be able to learn Tier III before I even master all of Tier II.  However, just as in chemistry, there can be many mechanisms for one reaction, but you want each variation to still produce the same reaction, and so no matter the Tier mechanism, this is the training reaction I want: CGC + SAT + Disability-Mitigating Tasks --> Service Dog.  I’m so excited to start my journey in just a week!

All my love,

Kelsie Iris
