my brother is teaching his cat how to high five by giving her a treat every time she successfully taps her hand to his hand, which is all well and good, but now she thinks that she is entitled to food every time she high fives someone.  i can’t eat in the same room as her anymore because she’ll just bap my hand rapid fire and then go nyoom straight in for my pizza like no Kelly that’s illegal go finish ur own dinner

“No Kelly, that’s illegal.”

So, a while back, I was using clicker-training to teach my cat Taz tricks. She learned very quickly and it was a good experience all around, but we had to hide the clicker.

Taz had learned that the clicker meant she got treats. So she would find it, carry it up to people, step on it to make it click, and then SCREAM AT THEM to give her the treats she was clearly owed because the clicker had made a sound.

Hey guys guess what!?!!?! If you fake a service dog and/or bring your pet into non pet friendly places THAT MAKES YOU AN ABSOLUTE SHITTY PERSON😊😊😊😊😊

[sd-annie-marie]

Sorry guys. I don't really get on tumblr anymore because 99% of the asks I get in are about Annie is fake and honestly I'm never in the mood to deal with that shit.

I don't have to prove anything.

People with fake service dogs make me immediately want to punch them in the face Like your dog is being disruptive you obviously got that vest online because you just wanted to bring them with you into target you fucking asshole

Hanging out at the pool with Faith today. We can’t go anywhere without people commenting on how well behaved she is… even for a SD. I’m so proud. It’s great to know that all the hard work we’ve put into training is really paying off.

SERVICE DOG POOL SAFETY – Even public pools are private places because they require membership. Always check with the pool manager to make sure your service dog is allowed. Sometimes they will also have rules about where exactly a SD can be on pool grounds for safety reasons. Most have been pretty accommodating though, and allow Faith to accompany me everywhere BUT the water (she is placed in a down-stay several feet from the water’s edge). The pool manager has also kindly asked me to keep her vested while on deck.

– Use the 5 second rule to make sure the pavement is not too hot for your dog. Use the back of your hand to check pavement heat. If you can’t leave your hand there for more than 5 seconds, it is TOO HOT for your dog. Time to abort mission or put on some doggie boots.

– Notice the travel water bowl behind her. We never go anywhere during the summer without a collapsible bowl and a bottle of ice water. A pool is no exception. Even in the shade it can be very hot and humid. Not only do I encourage her to drink frequently, I’ll also dip her paws in the ice water to cool them off (dogs sweat though their paw pads, so it’s important they stay cool).

– Make sure your dog has a SOLID leave it before going to a pool. Kids drop candy and food everywhere (and many of these food items are not good for dogs). People have also tried to feed Faith, and a leave it cue is needed.

– Know the signs of overheating in dogs and be ready to leave THE MOMENT you notice them in your dog. I took Faith off deck today because she was getting too hot (panting rapidly, gums/tongue turning dark pink, wide eyes). We went to the car, blasted the AC for a few min, and went back on deck once she was comfortable again.

– Never do anything that your dog is not ready for, or would otherwise make him uncomfortable!! Be prepared to leave the moment you see any signs of stress in your dog. Pools are busy, distracting, and often overwhelming environments. Be a responsible service dog handler :)

Reblogging this again. Summer is in full swing and temperatures here have been in the 90′s lately. Make sure your SD stays safe at the pool!

Bye!!

Thats disgusting, guns kill people and you support that?!

Actually, guns don't kill people. They're inanimate objects and this isn't Boomerang. People kill people. And don't give me the "but without guns" bullshit because people use knives, axes, cars, ropes, all sorts of shit.

[sd-annie-marie]

So youre pro gun?

Yes! Guns have many different uses from hunting to defending. In fact, one would've been nice when two people tresspassed on my property and harrassed my sister. One even jumped the fence. Wouldn't leave until the cops were called.

[sd-annie-marie]

What safety precautions do you take in case a dog attacks you i know some sd handlers have guns as protection

I have Pepperspray. And my shoe. I have kicked at a rottie for lunging at us. I'm actually in the process of applying for a gun liscense.

I know this isn’t service dog related but @yuuugis and I found this kitten on the side of the road. She needs urgent care and I would be very grateful if you guys could help out.

Honestly anything helps. Thank you, guys.

[spacebikergang]

The images are a little graphic she has a bad infection and her eye is messed up. Anything helps, even just a reblog. We’re looking at at least $700 for just the surgery she needs.

Help???

My next prospect will have to be able to do mobility work; bracing, pulling, me being able to lean on them, etc. My hips and knees are starting to give out and Annie (38lbs) is way too small for mobility work. I need help figuring out a good breed for this. I know they'll have to be checked out by a vet first but I have to start somewhere. I know there's weight and height requirements but I don't remember what they are. Thanks.

[sd-annie-marie]

I hate going to work without Annie. But I work in aa kitchen; she can't come. It's difficult and unnerving.

Hey guys! Question! This summer I'm planning a trip to San Antonio. In my group, there will be seven people total, Annie, and at LEAST one other service dog in training. We are planning on sight seeing, going to six flags for a day, going to the water park, and to the zoo. My question is, what parts of the zoo are we NOT allowed at? I know service dogs are allowed in but not everywhere because of prey (?). We already have a plan for the waterpark (one person of our group doesnt like public water parks so they'll be at the hotel with the dogs). But I'm not sure about the zoo?
