When your heart races, but your medical alert dog has your back 🖤🐾 Onyx alerted me to my rising heart rate before I even noticed! Medical alert dogs are trained to detect changes in your body, giving you time to take action. They’re more than pets they’re lifesavers. You may ask why I kept dancing its always a good training opportunity. Even with me not listening to Onyx he showed how service dogs don't give up on trying to help their handlers.

Answer: Myth. Not all dogs can be service dogs. While any dog could be trained, not every dog has the right qualities to perform service work. Here’s why: 1. Temperament: Service dogs need to be calm, focused, and well-behaved in public. Dogs that are excitable or aggressive are not suitable. 2. Training: Service dogs undergo extensive training to perform specific tasks for their handler. This requires intelligence, patience, and a willingness to learn. 3. Physical Ability: Some tasks, like mobility assistance or alerting, require dogs to be strong and healthy. Smaller or frail dogs may not be up to the job. 4. Breed: While any breed can theoretically be trained, certain breeds like Labrador Retrievers or German Shepherds are more commonly used due to their temperament and physical traits. 5. Socialization: Service dogs must be well-socialized and able to ignore distractions in public. Dogs that are shy or reactive may not be reliable. Legal Definition: Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), service dogs are specifically trained to assist with a disability. They are different from emotional support animals or therapy dogs, which require less training. In short, while many dogs can be trained, not every dog has the right traits or abilities to be a service dog. Photo description: Sage green and white background with dog paws.

Did you know? Service dogs are protected under the ADA and are trained to perform life-saving tasks for people with disabilities. They’re not emotional support animals or pets—they’re working partners. Always ask before approaching, and never distract a service dog while they’re working.

This is honestly the most comfortable hoodie I’ve ever worn. I wear this hoodie almost all the time. It has a heavier weight to it which makes it more comfortable. It’s good for days in the house and going to appointments, etc. I recommend the city and it’s worth looking into.. Faiable Fashion hoodies are amazing! @Faiable Fashion #faiablehoodie #faiablefashion #hoodie #productreview #dogsoftiktok #germanshepherd
