Wilson, the Psychiatric Service Pup in training!
Yeahh, I got a puppy!!
I am going to be training him to be my Psychiatric Service dog for my Anxiety Disorder. (Borderline Personality Disorder for those who don't know.)
He's the sweetest puppy I've ever had and I'm head over heals in love with him!
He's already very well behaved, surprising for a 10 week old!
He doesn't bark, he only whines when I have to put him in his kennel for a amine before bed and when I have to go in town or work. (mind you I have someone always checking on him, letting him out and letting him drink, eat and potty.)
He lays in my lap or on my chest or in my legs during my time at home, (which is heavenly ♡♡♡) he already seems to know what to do when I start getting depressed, surprisingly enough he can just somehow know before I even get to start frowning about what's ever making me sad and starts loving on me, giving kisses and nuzzeling me till I play with him to get my mind off what's making me sad.
already a good service pup hehe XD
I plan on getting him the proper trainning and vest and patches as well as ID's and tags so he'll be official and can join me to some locations I know make me anxious or cause panic attacks.
Sadly I don't have enough money to get him his vest ordered just yet but I hope to use some free time at home in a few days to work on some commissions (if I can get some in) to get him started.
I want him to take training class for simple comas then for when to notice when I need help and what to do to distract me. (I've seen a dog do this, really cool!)
Sadly enough I've already received bashing and hateful words from people about how having a serious anxiety disorder is not considered a 'disability' and I should stop what I'm doing that Wilson is just 'a pet'..
say what you Will but if he's serving me for my problems he's a service dog.
I just need to get him trained right and so on.
Anywho, this is my new baby and distraction, so I may not be getting on as much as I had been to properly train this guy.
More pictures of him will be coming when I've got the day off.

What a beautiful dog! I too have been researching about Psychiatric service dogs lately. I can't stand when peoplr say that those who have them don't need them. I severe anxiety and panic attacks along with dissociation episodes and memory lapses and would feel safer if a PSD can interrupt me before an episode gets out of hand. I wish you luck with his training!
Thank you!I was do happy that I was able to get him before someone else did hehe
And same, it's as I've been told recently. Not all disabilities are visible.
I know I'd feel so much safe for the same thing. I have alot of anxiety and panic attacks myself. Even more so in large crowdes and I go to alot of conventions so it's difficult to enjoy them if I'm panicking the whole time.
but I hope with him by my side now it'll be alot easier to not only go through the episodes/attacks but to just know I have him to help me will make it easier to avoid them.
And again Thank you!! :)

Same, It took me a long time to get myself one. I've had BPD since I was about 9 I believe.
I ended up joining a Facebook group for service dog owners to get advice and ask if it'd be ok for me to have one given my disorder and within the first minute of it being posted i was told that they had BPD as well and have a service dog and if i felt i needed one then i should get one and not let other's have an effect on what i decide.
I home trained my SD, alot of people who are uneducated will tell you you have to get ther dog 'certified' and or you cant train them yourself which is a complete lie.
The ADA stated many times that there is no legal way to prove a dog as a service dog. That there are no papers for it either. If it was an Emotional support dog then thats different and would indeed need paperwork to be legal.
The ADA stated that a Service Dog has to simply behave in public an show no signs of aggression and must preform 3/4 or more tasks that help the owner in order for the dog to be a 'legal' service dog. When I found all that out i wasted no time in getting him. He started as a puppy and he's the best SD i could ask for (not when at home, he's a little shit but in public he's an angel and perfectly behaved).
I wish you luck in finding the right SD for you :) <3
