When I was in public school there was a girl in a wheelchair who had a 'guide/help' dog. At the time, I didn't think anything of it, but now as an adult and being aware of everything, I recognize that my grade 8 teacher would do the baby voice and would pet him, and unfortunately for the girl, the dog ended up growling and I believe snapping at the teacher because of this, and the school denied the girl to bring the dog to school after that. I remember the girl and the girls family being really upset and angry over this and the school saying that the dog was aggressive and stuff, but in reality, it was entirely the teachers fault for not being aware of the etiquette of guide dogs and talking and touching them. Sad.

I'm just months away now from my first guide dog. Can't wait! So excited. Thanks for all the killer videos and inspiration Molly!

My dad suggested I follow you... He was suddenly being recommended YouTube videos about Service Dogs, probably because he's been secretly learning about what my dog(s) do! Anyway, when you mentioned the custom guide handle sign, I knew immediately it was a Patience and Love. Love her gear so much! I've wanted to start a channel focused on my Service Dogs--one retired, one in training--and mental health awareness, and you're definitely inspiring me to follow through 👍

I don't get why people feel they have the right to touch and talk to any dog or sometimes even small children without asking permission first. If someone did it to them, they would consider it harassment.

My dog Oreo is going through training to be an anxiety service dog. Mostly cuz I have crippling anxiety which he is a huge help

Thank you for your video. I am legally blind and have other health issues which require more customization in training for mobility and psychiatric problems (PTSD and panic attacks). My first service dog Lucy (small statur) ed German shrpherd) was trained as a guide dog and learned other tasks as I worked her. (Only thing she didn't "learn" was pulling my chair, I haven't used my chair in 2.5 yrs but know that I will most likely be using one again in my future) Lucy was retired in 2013 when her hearing and sight became problematic. (She's 15 years old)

In 2011 I began training my chihuahua Sammy for PTSD and panic problems. (I wasn't in my chair until early 2013 around the time Lucy retired).Obviously Sammy's too small for mobility, brace or pulling...and my degenerative disc disease on my cervical and lumbar spine is worsening, this means that I will be back in my chair in the coming months (I'm hoping for years but I know that's not realistic).

So, due to my special needs I purchased a chocolate lab pup mid-June (she's 7 weeks at the time of this post) and I will be having her and I train for my specific needs; bracing, assisting if I fall (cervical spine is compressing my spinal cord which causes me to stumble as if I'm drunk as well as get severe vertigo), pulling in a wheelchair, as well as offer grounding during a panic attack or PTSD episode. She will also learn some guide work but that will not be her key focus.

I'm going to document her training on her channel: TrainingSDBailey and her facebook page of the same name.

Again, thank you for your videos. I hope to see more on your adventures with Gallop!

she looks so different in each video. i love her outfit here w her binnie.

[zieronwolf]

you videos are nice to listen to for me, im only legally blind (Due to RP) but its nice to hear another perspective, i actually was hesitant about accepting my Blindness so i didnt opt for a Guide dog, but i still keep a cane. but somehow hearing another person who is vision impaired comforts me a bit

Hey just so u know a large part of the autistic community actually denounces the puzzle piece as a symbol as it is associated with autism speaks who are a notoriously sketchy group and prefer the rainbow infinity symbol that represents neurodiversity

[jallo]

I literally love you! I found your channel about a week ago and I’ve honestly learned so much from you! As someone who isn’t blind I had limited knowledge of someone who is blind. Thank you for sharing with us! ❤️

[buzzik]

I really enjoyed this video! I don't have a visual impairment but find it very interesting to learn about working dogs. You are also great to listen to! Just one thing - I'd prefer not to have the music on repeat in the background as it can be distracting from what you're saying - but that's just a personal preference other people may like it :) xx

[constantchaos]

If you were just to see her in public you wouldn't be able to tell she's blind. Shes so comfortable with herself. ❤❤💛💛💚💚💙💙💜💜

I honestly never realized that not everyone knows about Mira... In Québec, everyone knows what it is (obviously you'll say) Because we see them around a lot with foster families. Fun fact, before watching your videos, I never knew that their unique dog breed was named ''st-pierre'' .. here, we literally call them ''chien Mira'' and everyone knows what type of dog we're talking about lol

[msjkramey]

The harness is so cute! It looks more like an accessory than a medical device, which must be nice when your dog is that much of a part of your life

[itsriversnow]

Before you said the company was called Mira I was honestly waiting for you to introduce your dog, Mira lol

[rosalocalinda]

In my family we have a half bernese mountain dog, half golden retriever and she's the sweetest girl but she outweighs Gallop! She's 130 lbs!! 🖤

I was listening to you and thinking "why do you need to protect their feet from salt?" and then I remembered that they put salt on the roads for snow #Texasgirlproblems

[coelacanthe]

Which brand of balm do you use? My family's dog struggles with his paws in the winter and we haven't been able to find a good fix for him.

[Kempster_K]

Thanks for sharing this! Off-topic, I love your hair this length!

People doing competitive dog obedience often use those leads so asking at your nearest obedience club they usually sell some different leads and collars and other dog accessories
