That was really nice of you. I can assure you it's already difficult having a disability & flying but when you are constantly worried about every1 else around you it really elevates your stress levels when travelling.

did you treat her sooo special for being blind?

@@hydrpx4484 no one even mentioned the word blind lol

@@fish5465 uh-mazing

AWWWWW!!!! That would probably make ME go to sleep if I had the dog napping on my foot.

American Airlines seats us in a window bulkhead and leaves seat next to us empty. I have a Bernese Mountain SD so hes kinda big.

most airlines do have a special row for passengers with medical equipment or big strollers

So does my SD! She’s used to flying with me,but every time she gives me the most hilarious look like “you expect me do do my business on *this*?”

@@corvinbrady3603 - We were at Phoenix airport last month early in the morning and I guess they had cleaned the pet area the night before because it was SO clean and there was NO smell ... that *I* could detect - Mavis still got the shudders when I asked her to potty on it!! 🤣

@@mavisme4645 😹😹

That's so exciting!! Good luck :)

HOW DID IT GO?!?

how did it go?

Did it work out for you? ❤

Sure I can try! Until then, this video can help you out: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mct0fKV6trO5f5s.html . I would also recommend going to a local place that requires security. I went to to the local courthouse with my dog to practice going through security just to make sure we knew what we were doing before being in the busier and more stressful environment of the airport.

I waited 3 years.

I’m in the uk too. Applied once years ago but they said no, I’ll be trying again at some point though and as I never que if I succeed think I’ll try and get skipped ahead to get my dog. Otherwise my hidden disabilities will play up and I’ll be on their back saying you said I qualified where is my dog etc. Me and waiting don’t do well, I never que at theme parks or the airport. I just get so distressed and upset and start saying things like they’ve forgot me.

@@jessicawatson7360 i have my guide dog spencer now. In the end waited just 13 months so was pretty lucky

You can give them something to chew on for take off and landing to help.

My dog had one when we flew, take puppy pads and absorb granules Incase of a clean up. Restrict food before your flight. Give them ice cubes so they’re not taking on too much water and treats with low salt so they don’t get to thirsty. Also, thunder shirts really help to reduce anxiety and pressure.

I’ve seen some advice w desensitizing service dogs (not necessary to planes) by playing the noises really loud on a pc and reward them for staying calm during it, this was about training your sd to not be nervous of aggressive dogs but maybe it’ll work for airplanes too?

Yep, they are super helpful in a pinch, I always take them when I travel.

Those pads cause confusion.

He does DPT now, and I plan to teach him syncope response and item retrieval when I have the time. Hopefully over the summer! I have POTS and some other chronic illnesses, so it would be helpful. But he is first and foremost a guide dog.

From Kay to Zee I have a sd for pots and a few other things as well. She does low bp alerts, dpt, grounding, blocks, and some anxiety alerts. She is learning item retrieval and other non weight bearing mobility things and fmp rn.

From Kay to Zee are you fullly blind

@@fromkaytozee8132 omigosh. I have POTS, too! My doc says I should look into a service dog because I pass out everywhere. I can't because of finances. How'd you go about getting yours.

@@danicleckley5404 you are allowed to owner train but it’s a lot of work so you can get a trainer to help :) I have a service dog in training for POTS and other issues I have 😊

I'm not exactly sure what you mean, but I did bring his own little suitcase with his food, a few toys, and the gear he would need on our trip. Good luck with your dog!

M M in the US, no. He doesn’t even have to wear a vest or harness. In the US, it is actually illegal for a business to ask for proof of training, need, or registration. The websites online are actually scams!!! It’s good to carry vaccine records just in case, but that’s all really. Hope this helps!!!

She has albinism and its a seeing eye dog. Shes legally blind.

Wow! What a opening question.

Its Zee An extra little bit of trivia: only dogs that come from the school called “the Seeing Eye” are referred to as “seeing eye dogs”. It’s actually a bit of a brand misnomer, such as referring to all facial tissue as Kleenex. There are many different schools that train dogs for the blind, the Seeing Eye is one of them, and has the most well known name, but dogs that come from other schools are known as guide dogs.

Soling106 He came for the seeing eye. :)

@@HeyItsZee_ He’s a guide dog actually.

He's from the Seeing Eye :)

He's 3, but he'll be 4 this month!

hello! only ESA's and Psychiatric service dogs need doctors notes. the ACAA (Air Carriers Access Act) states that psychiatric service animals and emotional support animals must provide a doctors note 48 hours before the flight!

@@Ian-jx7mm what would the note say exactly???

@@NeverPullOutInMexico if you have a psychiatrist they should know what to put in the note- but if they ask you for whatever reason, or if you’re just seeing a regular doctor and they aren’t sure what to write down, it should just have something along the lines of: “ ‘your name’ has been diagnosed with a psychiatric illness that requires them to bring their service animal/emotional support animal with them on the flight.” basically- keep it simple! you don’t have to tell anyone at all what your have at any point in time. if they ask what the dog does or provides just simply state if their a service animal, that their for psychiatric reasons. if their an emotional support animal, that they’re there to help you stay calm/for psychiatric reasons. if you have any more questions i will answer them !!

Yep!

From Kay to Zee I live near Philadelphia!

He's 4 now, but he was 3 when this video was filmed :)

Oh ok! Goldens faces go so grey so early! Ty💖

Item retrievals can help so you don’t have to bend over when you drop something to pick it up. I believe DPT can lower heart rate. And I would train syncope response if you fait regularly. Be skeptical of any trainer who claims they can train heart rate alert as that is not proven to be possible, and they are likely trying to scam you (SD training scams are so common it’s sad!). Your dog might pick up on heart rate alerts naturally, but as of now it can not be trained. I just use an Apple Watch to track my heart rate, and it works for me. Good luck!!

@@fromkaytozee8132 That sounds really helpful, I have 2 breeds in minds that I can afford and are generally quick learners, but if you dont mind my asking, what breed would you recommend? (I have never actually fainted, but I have come very close just about everytime and I once sprained my wrist really bad because I had fallen on it when I went to stand up at school.)

I also want to train my current GD for anxiety alert.

@@fromkaytozee8132 Heart rate alert can be trained! There is a uk charity called medical alert dogs that does it by sent imprinting.

The Seeing Eye :)

@@fromkaytozee8132 You mean guide dogs.

She / her :)

Nope. My dog is a Seeing Eye dog, and there is such thing as a Seeing Eye dog. My dog is also a guide dog, and in the US, he is a service dog. A Seeing Eye dog is a guide dog that was trained at the Seeing Eye, which is what my dog is. In the US a service dog is a dog that is trained to perform a specific task (comfort does not count) to help mitigate a person's disability, so guide dogs are legally classified as service dogs in the US. A guide dog is a dog that was trained to guide a person who is blind or visually impaired. So my dog is a guide dog, but he is also a Seeing Eye dog because he was trained at the Seeing Eye. In the US neither "guide dog" nor "Seeing Eye dog" are legal terms, so legally, he is a service dog. But all three of those terms accurately describe my dog with "Seeing Eye dog" being the most specific and "service dog" being the most general. Terms differ based on location, laws, and specifics of how the dog was trained, but "Seeing Eye dog" is the correct term to describe my dog, even though it is not the correct term to described the majority of guide dogs in the world.

@@fromkaytozee8132 Odd. Very odd. I’ll have to wright to america about that.

Same

@@danielledewitt1 “The Seeing Eye” was the first guide dog school in the US. Even though, Technically, only dogs that go through this school can be called “seeing eye dogs”, it has somehow come to be a generic term for a guide dogs here, the same way that all brands of tissues end up being called Kleenex.

@@FightingIncorrectStereotypes Well seeing eye dog is wrong.

Some vision

There are different types of guide dogs not everyone has the same severity of being blind

Angel's paws Yes I am aware, I was in belief that she was claiming to be completely blind. My bad, I’ll make sure to tell my friend that too, she told me about this channel.

@@jamestheservicedog8014 Just for future reference, only 10% of blind people are what we think of as "completely" blind, where they see nothing, not even light. I am also a new subscriber, so I am just now gathering what little personal info Kay puts in the videos. I know she wears sunglasses sometimes, which she addresses in this video is because she is sensitive to light. I imagine she has very low vision and/or has light perception, but she cannot see enough to safely navigate. As for how does she correct Zenith, when you use a guide dog harness (on a trained dog) you can feel the movements that the dog makes through the handle, as well as any tension on the leash. I imagine Kay can feel his movements, especially if he is clearly going off track or staring at something and she is able to correct him. I don't know how long Seeing Eye training is to teach the blind handler how to use a guide, but most organizations have 2-4 week classes. I'm certain the organization trained Kay to know when/if Zenith is distracted and how to correct him for it. The visual text comments on the video are likely from a sighted person helping her edit the videos. One last thing: guide dogs are not GPSs. You, as a handler, still must know where you are going, or be able to ask for help, while the dog makes sure you get to your destination safely. I hope this helps!

How when it’s a plane.

@@danielledewitt1 she's a troll

@@HuskitaLover Clearly. Though dog seatbelts do exist but for cars.

@@danielledewitt1 cool?
