I will NEVER understand why adults reach out to pet dogs they do not know! Didn’t their parents teach them manners? My children (All 4) were taught to ask and if told they could how to approach the dog and allow the dog to be comfortable to come to them. I have my own SD, but even when I am out without him, other people’s SD’s will approach me when my medical issues are going off and alert to them. They always tell me the same thing… “I have never seen my dog alert to someone else before! That was amazing!”
My husband and I were shopping with a service dog and a random guy walked by and tried to pet her. My husband instinctually let out a sharp “AH ah” just like how we correct his dog if she’s being naughty. Then my husband said “you don’t touch dogs!!!!!” We didn’t stop talking about it for like the next 30 minutes at least
not only did he know Cider is a service dog, even if he didn't't you don't ever just try to touch a dog (and I know a halt isn't bad but it kind of looks 'scary' and he didn't even take that as a hint either, what if you had it cuz he did bite, yknow?)
There were markings on the dogs halter saying, "Service dog do not pet." That stupid man could have lost a hand. By asking a person who has a disability or disorder, obvious or not, you are violating their civil rights. Have some restraints, people.
Why is it not obvious to everyone that you don't just touch a dog you don't know ? You don't know if they bite, if that'll stress them. Just ask ffs you've got words use them
Wow the fact that he ignored a paw command, when that’s a pretty common thing to do for labs when you told him to is amazing! I’m so glad he was understanding. Sending vertical hugs nd pets to cider and your other doggies!
Proud he respected that no and backed off But dude How old are you?
Like that’s not an insult I’m genuinely wondering how people get to adulthood and still try to just pet or touch random dogs
Did you parents never teach you to always approach animals with caution You never know if they’ll bite
Like I can get how a four year old might run up to a dog to pet it without asking Kids do stuff they’re told not to all the time That’s why you have to do it again and again every time they try to misbehave so they’ll eventually understand stuff like “don’t pet dogs without asking cuz they could be dangerous”
I had the sweetest little pup in the world But after a “friend” of my brothers abused her and snapped the bone in her tail She’s nip at ANYONE who pet her without a nice long inspection first Never a big bite Just a scared nip
But we’d tell people who asked that no She’s not friendly And she doesn’t want pets But our other dog would be happy to get some scritches
Don’t just pet strange dogs And please teach your kids that lesson too so they don’t need to learn it as an adult Or god forbid learn from experience and get some poor scared dog in trouble
But again Props to him for backing off and listening
You guys should not be proud for this guy doing the bare minimum. Less than that. This isn't something to be proud of. Raise your standards in men. Not just romantically, but in all aspects, HIM NOT BEING AN OBVUOUS DICK IS NOT WORTHY OF PRAISE.
This is why whenever I see a dog nearby with its owner I will just smile and keep going about my day unless the dog and the owner come to me I love dogs But after having so many in my life I know that it’s best to let them come to you when you don’t know them And of course I always leave Service dogs alone to do their work
I was really overstimulated when I was out with my SD (always a fun time in walmart on a saturday), and a woman started to coo and tut at him, I full body turned and glared at her. I immediately caught myself and wanted to apologize, but she said, "Oh am I not supposed to talk to her?" I just gave a flustered grin, shoved my fingers in his aussie fur (while he was nudging my leg with his nose), and said, "You really shouldn't distract service dogs!" She looked so sorry, which just made me feel bad for overreacting.
She was not the first person that day to talk to him, and I was over it.
I do think people need to realize "he's a service dog" isn't enough for most people. When someone does not know that a service dog isn't supposed to be pet, that info tells them nothing. "He's a service dog, so he isn't supposed to be pet by strangers" is way clearer
I like the way you handled this, every time I see a video like this, the person with the service dog always starts screaming and harassing the people who didn’t know the severity of petting a service dog. I once saw a video of a woman literally slapping a toddler for petting a service dog that came up to them. She then started harassing and screaming at the child and parent and trying to hit the parent. Thank you for not overreacting and remaining polite.
good dude, clearly just didn't know and apologized, good for your pupper to be exposed to situations like that so they know not to, even if it's not a good situation, it's relatively common, especially with kids
I appreciate u not antagonizing the man and kindly explaining to him what he was doing wrong!!! As someone with autism sometimes unspoken rules like that completely fly over my head and i dont find out until i accidentally break the rule That dude may have also been a foreigner from a place where service dogs arent common
My cousin had a service dog growing up and my parents trained the shit out of me to "act like the dog is invisible" and it has worked phenomenally. Now I work security at a facility and work around service dogs quite regularly. May God bless every service dog, trainer, user, and advocate!
This makes me realise i need more boundaries. If i had a service dog id feel bad & want to let everyone pet him.. i saw some great dane service dogs recently and went up and asked if i could pat & she said yes bcoz they weren't working. They were so beautiful.. I think i keep seeing these bcoz i may need one to support me but not sure i could afford it.
I have neighbors that will come onto my property and grab my dogs leash. I dont have a fence so they have long long leashes. These people are full adults. Thankfully, both my boys are very friendly. However, my pit bull that passed away 5 years ago… he was a little less predictable. Miss him very much.
People just lack respect and boundaries. Im glad this man was so quick to listen.
I recently got bit by my own dog (he drew a little blood) because I took him to a store. The people there know me and my dog and I called ahead to make sure I can bring him. I use the opportunity to train him and while neither of my dogs are service dogs they always both look at me funny before I pass out. He lays next to me or sits next to me while I get what I need. Some guy walked up and grabbed my dog from behind without warning while I was rewarding my dog and he got spooked and chomped down on my fingers instead of the treat. The man acted like he did nothing wrong and then another man came by as I was scolding the first one and he started bending over and trying to grab my dog’s face. My dog is only a people person if I encourage him to greet people and I told both the men I was training him and to please not distract him, they both just acted like they didn’t even notice he was there. I guess all dogs just need a giant “DO NOT PET” sticker in bright letters on them

I would like a service dog in case I fall but not sure how to go about it ❤

Hi
Does Cider has his name from a system or did you give him that name?
Are you blind?What does he need a service?You for

Always ask to pet. Not just because they might be working but also because dogs bite.
God this women seems insufferable
Someone wants attention hmmm
I feel weird but I'm training my cat to help me but I keep getting told it will not work
There were markings on the dogs halter saying, "Service dog do not pet." That stupid man could have lost a hand. By asking a person who has a disability or disorder, obvious or not, you are violating their civil rights. Have some restraints, people.
Respect to him for stopping after you explained, no complaints
hey so the caption is highly misleading. makes the dude in the video seem very disrespectful
I love how your always so kind to everybody even when their disrespectful❤❤
Hes so cute in this color!
Whats that around his nose?
Cider was amazing.
Why is it not obvious to everyone that you don't just touch a dog you don't know ? You don't know if they bite, if that'll stress them. Just ask ffs you've got words use them
Cider looked down like "that's MY paw, sir.."
Wow the fact that he ignored a paw command, when that’s a pretty common thing to do for labs when you told him to is amazing! I’m so glad he was understanding. Sending vertical hugs nd pets to cider and your other doggies!

Ugh. Service dogs and infants.
People just can't keep their paws off!
What's the kinky stuff on his nose
good thing he didn't insist after you & cider placed your boundary, but he still should've asked in the first place.
good dude, clearly just didn't know and apologized, good for your pupper to be exposed to situations like that so they know not to, even if it's not a good situation, it's relatively common, especially with kids
I appreciate u not antagonizing the man and kindly explaining to him what he was doing wrong!!! As someone with autism sometimes unspoken rules like that completely fly over my head and i dont find out until i accidentally break the rule
That dude may have also been a foreigner from a place where service dogs arent common
Why you bring him out? You’re just looking for attention!
why do you hav a fkn 5 paragraph essay on his vest dumb ass hoe
Cringe
My cousin had a service dog growing up and my parents trained the shit out of me to "act like the dog is invisible" and it has worked phenomenally. Now I work security at a facility and work around service dogs quite regularly. May God bless every service dog, trainer, user, and advocate!
Thank you for posting this, a lot of people Don’t know that service dogs got to keep concentrating on there, person.
This makes me realise i need more boundaries. If i had a service dog id feel bad & want to let everyone pet him.. i saw some great dane service dogs recently and went up and asked if i could pat & she said yes bcoz they weren't working. They were so beautiful..
I think i keep seeing these bcoz i may need one to support me but not sure i could afford it.
u seemed kinda rude
I have neighbors that will come onto my property and grab my dogs leash. I dont have a fence so they have long long leashes.
These people are full adults. Thankfully, both my boys are very friendly. However, my pit bull that passed away 5 years ago… he was a little less predictable. Miss him very much.

HALT DO NOT PET MY ANIMAL 😂

Nice that the guy allowed himself to be educated.
I've seen loads of people name their dogs after alcohol mine is called budwiser and I've seen dogs called whiskey and cider
All this praise from others is pathetic
