This is an official clan thread for the Service Dogs of Lioden Clan! Welcome to the clan! About UsService Dog Handlers of Lioden was created on January 4th, 2018! The goal of this clan is to act as an on-site support network for current and former handlers, to raise awareness and educate those curious about what service dogs do and how important they are to their handlers! But we don't just welcome service dogs - use a mini pony? Have an ESA? We welcome those too! Basically, we're people who have had our freedom returned to us by some really smart critters! FAQQ: How do I join? A: Just click the link provided at the top! You can also click HERE Q: I don't have a service dog and don't need one! Can I join? A: Yes! Everyone is welcome. As long as you remain respectful and abide by both our rules and the lioden ToS, you're more than welcome to hang out, join the discussion or lend a hand! Q: Is all you guys talk about your service dogs? A: Nope. As long as it abides by ToS/Forum rules, you can chat to your hearts content. Brag about your new stud :P. Q: Service dogs and ESAs are different, but you say you welcome their (ESAs) handlers here? A: Yep! As said before, everyone is welcome. If you recieve animal assistance of any kind, you're included under that umbrella, but understand - Service dogs and ESAs do not have the same public access levels as one another!

I've been independently researching rats for my own curiosity and I definitely believe that efficiency wise it would be that for Diabetes and allergies, even certain psychiatric disabilities, dependent on the person, it would be terrific and far less intrusive and attention grabbing. The issue is definitely more towards their life expectancy and how fast they can be trained for their task, imo, but with the average life expectancy of pets overall increasing I think it would be something worth a shot. 0 players like this post!

Hm that's true they do only live a couple years, so it would have to depend on how much training they would need for their particular job. But I mean yeah they'd be pretty unintrusive in most situations and they don't require much more than a lil chew toy to just hang out in someone's pocket for a few hours. And wow sugar gliders! All of the sugar gliders I've met have been a pain in the butt, but they sure are pretty dang cute <3 0 players like this post! Like? |

Stinky I would also do something like a “puppy time out” when he acts like this. Get a leash, tie it up around something sturdy, like a heavy table leg or a sturdy doorknob, and leave him there until he settles on his own. He will need to learn how to settle. To me it sounds like a puppy who needs to learn to redirect his mouthy-ness and change the tude. Remember when nipping during play/in general to redirect to chewing on something acceptable to chew on. When play gets too rough use the puppy time out. I still agree with Kindred to get a behavioral consult, but these are things you can do in the meantime until you can get the behaviorist involved. 0 players like this post! Like? |

I was diagnosed with PTSD not too long ago. I also have anxiety and depression, and even though my dog, Wade failed his assessment, he still helps me out a lot. I am in the process of starting training for my Doberman Pinscher puppy, Logan. He is only about 13 weeks old though. He still needs quite a bit of work with house training, but he is just a puppy after all. 0 players like this post! Like? |

He’s already a bit moody. He’s a sweet little guy but now he attacks whenever we step into the house after a walk. 0 players like this post! Like? |
