What NO ONE Tells You About Training Your Own Service Dog

I tried to train my dog to be my psychiatric service dog. This video is my honest story about what happened, what I learned, and how I’ve grown since then. Owner-training a service dog is one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. Between my depression, anxiety, and executive dysfunction, I quickly realized how much pressure and responsibility I had taken on. This isn’t just about training…it’s about mental health, disability, and resilience. In this video, I’ll share: ✨ Why I wanted a service dog in the first place ✨ The struggles I faced training him on my own ✨ What it taught me about mental health and disability ✨ His role today as my “at-home” service dog ✨ And some exciting news! I hope my story helps anyone else out there who might be thinking about owner training, or who just needs to hear they’re not alone. 💬 COMMENT below if you’ve ever thought about owner training or if you have questions! 👍 Please LIKE if you enjoyed this 🔔 SUBSCRIBE to follow my journey — More Videos: Meeting Dexter:    • Meeting My Psychiatric Service Dog Puppy f...   Is A Service Dog Right for You:    • Is a Service Dog Right for You? 5 Signs Yo...   — Chapters: 0:00 Intro 0:14 Why I Wanted a SD 1:22 Struggles I Faced 3:43 Admitting Defeat 5:16 Where's My SD Now? 5:40 Tasks & Demo 6:54 What I Learned 7:45 Big News! 8:30 Want To Train Your Own SD? — Music: Afterglow by Tokyo Music Walker   / user-356546060   License: Creative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported — CC BY 3.0 Free Download / Stream: https://audiolibrary.com.co/tokyo-mus...
