James & SjirikiWhen your baba climbs a wooden tractor so you have to loudly yell until they help you up too 😂 We’ve been dealing with some major teenage brain lately. It’s been very hard to find the motivation to train as everything feels hard, and just helping him exist in the world is like a full time job right now. Sjiriki is also not feeling great, which doesn’t help either. He’s got some pretty bad growing pains, which are (understandably) making him cranky and easily frustrated, plus he still has the occasional Giardia flare up (though those are thankfully getting less and less intense with each treatment). We’re trying to mostly focus on doing fun low pressure things, and I’m doing training together with my mom to both keep Sjiriki more motivated (he has some major FOMO so if Maya is doing something he wants to also do that thing 😆), and to keep myself from spiraling at the smallest setback. So we’re surviving! But I am already very much ready for this whole teenage phase to be over 😅 . ID 1: a teenage Siberian Husky sits on the seating area of a wooden structure shaped like a tractor standing out in the woods. The dog has his mouth open in a relaxed pant, and he looks content to sit there. ID 2: the same shot taken from further away, showing more of the wooden tractor. . <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/hiking?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hiking</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/hikingdog?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hikingdog</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/hikingdogsofinstagram?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hikingdogsofinstagram</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/hikingwithdogs?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hikingwithdogs</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/husky?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#husky</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/siberianhusky?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#siberianhusky</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/dog?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dog</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/dogs?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dogs</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/huskydog?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#huskydog</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/siberianhuskydog?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#siberianhuskydog</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/forcefree?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#forcefree</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/servicedog?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#servicedog</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/servicedogintraining?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#servicedogintraining</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/psychiatricservicedog?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#psychiatricservicedog</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/autismservicedog?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#autismservicedog</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/hulphond?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hulphond</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/hulphondinopleiding?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hulphondinopleiding</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/autismehulphond?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#autismehulphond</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/psychiatrischehulphond?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#psychiatrischehulphond</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/assistentiehond?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#assistentiehond</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/assistentiehondinopleiding?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#assistentiehondinopleiding</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/autismeassistentiehond?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#autismeassistentiehond</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/forcefreeservicedog?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#forcefreeservicedog</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/adolescence?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#adolescence</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/adolescentdog?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#adolescentdog</a>

James & SjirikiPosting a puppy photo to celebrate him being 6 months old today! Time flies by so fast 🥹 .

VarceptiousI love puppy cuddles after a long day. Long day for both of us! He had to go to the eye doctor today and get his eyes checked. We learned he has a slight defect in his retina in both eyes, very minor, the doctor told me. Nothing yo be concerned about as it may just be in his family lines. So, we're starting a daily supplement to help his eyes from processing and potentially getting into progressive retinal atrophy. <a href="https://veganism.social/tags/ServiceDogInTraining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ServiceDogInTraining</a> <a href="https://veganism.social/tags/MiniDachshund" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MiniDachshund</a> <a href="https://veganism.social/tags/Dachshund" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Dachshund</a> <a href="https://veganism.social/tags/DogsWithAJob" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DogsWithAJob</a>

VarceptiousWent outside and played with a stick which he loved and his plushie hedgehog to celebrate this nice weather we got. So now we're relaxing on the bed with the window open so we can both rest. Always a great day with my little man by my side.

James & SjirikiWe had to go to the dentist today, and Sjiriki came with on his first big(ish) PA trip! He did so good 🥹 Just as we were entering the building a big group of children came running out and some clustered around him which he got very excited by (he loves kids), but he calmed back down super quick and did a great loose leash heel through the building until we got to the dentist. In the waiting room he pretty immediately settled, and did great ignoring other people walking past. When I had to go in to the exam room he initially came along with my mom handling him, but struggled with having to be on the other side of the room from me, so my mom took him back to the waiting room where he got a snuffle mat to help him calm down. He was a little bit fussy there, wanting to wait near the door, but immediately went back to settling when I came back and then stayed chill all through waiting for the rest of my family to be done. Heeling out of the building was no problem either, he was happy to stick by my side and didn’t care for any distractions. I’ve really done very little formal training with him, only focusing on his being comfortable wherever we are and rewarding engagement when he gives it to me. I get insecure sometimes when I see other puppies his age with a whole repertoire of behaviors while he doesn’t even know sit, but today showed me that the foundational stuff we’ve worked on is in fact paying off, and that he has the potential to be a wonderful service dog 🩶 . ID: a nonbinary person sits on a couch in a waiting room. At their feet a lies a teenage Siberian Husky, his head pillowed on one of their feet. He wears a tactical service dog vest, the leash clipped to it held loosely by the person. . <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/husky?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#husky</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/siberianhusky?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#siberianhusky</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/puppy?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#puppy</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/puppies?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#puppies</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/huskypuppy?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#huskypuppy</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/siberianhuskypuppy?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#siberianhuskypuppy</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/forcefree?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#forcefree</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/servicedog?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#servicedog</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/servicedogintraining?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#servicedogintraining</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/psychiatricservicedog?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#psychiatricservicedog</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/autismservicedog?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#autismservicedog</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/hulphond?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hulphond</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/hulphondinopleiding?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hulphondinopleiding</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/autismehulphond?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#autismehulphond</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/psychiatrischehulphond?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#psychiatrischehulphond</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/assistentiehond?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#assistentiehond</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/assistentiehondinopleid?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#assistentiehondinopleid</a>

VarceptiousThose moments when your little man, Birger, refuses to leave the side of the tub while you shower. Mind you I was sitting, but my heart rate spiked and Birger refused to leave my side and refused to stop watching me. I got out got dressed and everything; his eyes were locked on me. He followed me into my bedroom where I promptly flopped on the bed; he then ran off to do his own thing. He amazes me more and more every day! <a href="https://veganism.social/tags/ServiceDogInTraining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ServiceDogInTraining</a> <a href="https://veganism.social/tags/POTS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#POTS</a> <a href="https://veganism.social/tags/DogsWithAJob" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DogsWithAJob</a> <a href="https://veganism.social/tags/Disabled" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Disabled</a> <a href="https://veganism.social/tags/Disability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Disability</a>

James & SjirikiHe’s just the prettiest dog 😍 We’ve been taking a break from training for a bit as he’s right in the middle of teething, which is making him feel not great and making it hard to turn his brain on. We’ve instead been focusing on lots of decompression, enrichment and rest! . ID: a Siberian Husky puppy sits in a parking lot, seen in profile view.

VarceptiousProud papa moment today! Birger nose booped me four time this morning while I was getting dressed. I then looked at my fitbit and my heart rate was spiking, I then sat down and he got in my lap. This is the first time he's done persistent alerting until I paid attention! Up until now it's always been one boop and if I didn't notice it he would just walk away. So this is very big news! <a href="https://veganism.social/tags/ServiceDogInTraining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ServiceDogInTraining</a> <a href="https://veganism.social/tags/DogsWithAJob" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DogsWithAJob</a> <a href="https://veganism.social/tags/Disabled" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Disabled</a> <a href="https://veganism.social/tags/SmallTeamProud" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SmallTeamProud</a> <a href="https://veganism.social/tags/Dachshund" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Dachshund</a> <a href="https://veganism.social/tags/MiniDachshund" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MiniDachshund</a>

VarceptiousSpent this cold day by cuddling with my little man and doing training sporadically throughout the day. We focused on his recall with a whistle instead of words. He responds better to the whistle than he does the word come. We did some doggy push-ups, a level 3 puzzle, he had a frozen topple, went for a mile walk with my husband, and the good news is, he's not scared of my rollator! He won't go under it right now, but he knows how to stay out of the way, and he tends to follow me every time I walk with it. Also we worked some on his impulse control; he redirects with a few prompts but is getting better with his redirecting reaction time. So small victories, and learning more about my boy. The Fi 3 that I got him is working beautifully! It even has a score to tell you whether or not he's had enough sleep compared to exercise. Really helps me be more aware of what he needs for exercise and rest. <a href="https://veganism.social/tags/ServiceDogInTraining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ServiceDogInTraining</a> <a href="https://veganism.social/tags/MiniDachshund" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MiniDachshund</a> <a href="https://veganism.social/tags/Dachshund" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Dachshund</a>

Total K9 FocusWelcome to Total K9 Focus! My name is Sarah, and I am a professional dog trainer specializing in service dog training. I am based in Southern California and offer training services nationwide. Over my career, I have personally trained 50 reliable service dogs. Each dog takes 1-3 years. Together, with my partner Ralf, we train dogs for many well-known conditions like Mobility, Stability, Seizures, and Diabetic alerts. We also train for complex conditions like Post Traumatic Stress Disorders (PTSD), Cardiac Conditions, various Psychiatric Disorders, and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and for rare conditions like Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) and Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS).

Kaona 🇨🇦My sidekick at the mall with me. She's helping me through this outing, which has been more stressful than usual. I can feel a shut down building up (I tend to shut down a lot more than meltdown), but I would feel so much worse if she wasn't here. <a href="https://disabled.social/tags/ServiceDog" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ServiceDog</a> <a href="https://disabled.social/tags/ServiceDogInTraining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ServiceDogInTraining</a> <a href="https://disabled.social/tags/ActuallyAutistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ActuallyAutistic</a>

VarceptiousOver the moon proud of my Birger boy! He's alerted not once, but twice this morning for low heart rate! The funny thing is, I've been scent training him for high heart rate which is hit or miss. However, low heart rate he alerts every time without fail. I don't know how he learned it, but he's spot on! He's also woken me up after I've passed out by nudging my face and letting out a bark or two. How did I get so lucky to get such a smart boy? <a href="https://veganism.social/tags/MiniDachshund" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MiniDachshund</a> <a href="https://veganism.social/tags/Dachshund" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Dachshund</a> <a href="https://veganism.social/tags/ServiceDogInTraining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ServiceDogInTraining</a> <a href="https://veganism.social/tags/DogsWithAJob" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DogsWithAJob</a> <a href="https://veganism.social/tags/DogsOfMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DogsOfMastodon</a>
