everybody and welcome back to relax my dog and I hope you've all had the most
amazing starts to April today's video is actually very really exciting is when
we're talking about a really really interesting topic which is emotional
support dogs now if you guys haven't heard of emotional support dogs before
they are absolutely incredible everybody to get started definitely do Campbell it
to the comments and let me know any questions you guys might have with
regards to either me and Milo or you have any questions that me you need help
with your dog or anything like that leave us a question down below of a
topic you want us to discuss and we'll have a look at the comments so an
emotional support animal or an e-s-a an assistant animal or a support animal is
a companion animal that provides a benefit to somebody with a mental health
condition or an emotional disorder now I didn't know is actually that emotional
support and loss can be in the form of dogs that they can also be in the form
of cats and any other animal it is crazy now obviously dogs aren't the typical
one because they are easy to train but I think it's crazy that you could have
like a different sort of animal that helps you with that sort of thing now an
emotional support animal helps a person if they have anxiety if they have panic
attacks or if they just need some sort of emotional support they help in a
number of different ways a lot of the time it's sort of a dog that you can
talk to or it's a dog that could sort of sense if you're about to have an anxiety
attack or a panic attack and they will help to calm you down which i think is
really really good now what a lot of people get confused about is whether
they are similar to a service dog just like a guide dog but it they are
completely different because a guide dog has been trained specific services now
if you have ever wondered how you can get yourself an emotional support animal
you actually need to get a letter from a mental health professional like a
psychiatrist etc and they will then say that you can have an emotional support
animal now I think is very recall is that emotional support animals are
allowed on travel and they're also allowed in housing as well and in terms
of the best breed for emotional support animals are as follows a golden
retriever and Labrador a Brussels Griffon a king Chow spaniel and a collie
are amongst the ones that are the best type to have an
motional spot animal now I could say emotional sports animals are there sort
of a sense when you're gonna have a panic attack or if you are just anxious
in general I'm sure that if anybody here suffers with anxiety whether it is on a
minor level or if you are housed with extreme anxiety you do know that once
you are with somebody it does sort of helpful it's a bit other least a lot of
people do find that and so obviously have a dog with you it can actually make
you a little bit better a lot of dogs I know that my other does whenever were
upset he will come over and he will just give us loads and loads of love no a lot
of you guys are might not actually know this about me but I'm actually a
qualified a primary school teacher and during one of my school placements there
was actually a emotional support dog for the children they absolutely love to
this dog it was a spaniel and they used to take it around for walks if somebody
was having a bit of like an upset day they could easily go and ask if they
could take the dog for a walk and they take it around the playground or around
the field and it would really really calm and down you see the kids go out in
a bit of a mess and then they'd come back and they'd be so so chilled out so
it really does show that an emotional support animal does work and it is an
amazing thing that dogs are able to do well that is it for this week's video I
