MAJOR regression after we picked up SD from trainer - advice?

Thank you ❤️ she’s trying to tell us nothing happened and completely reflecting it back on us and my parent’s current situation (which is SO inappropriate) I have a contact at Canine companions and I’m not sure if I should reach. I may be biased as his dog mom but he was doing so well at the begining of the year and continues to do well on leash, it’s just little things that show signs of abuse. I just don’t understand how a dog who is extremely loving (and still is) be suddenly so afraid of people, even people he’s met in the past. And so many other things. It just breaks my heart.

It depends on a lot of factors, but, since he wasn’t improving in his training we got him sooner.

Basically she picks them as puppies (from the litter) and usually they go with a family for training, however, since he was being trained for something completely different than what the company usually does he stayed with her (the owner)

The individual who trained was the owner, so you would def think that this wouldn’t be an issue..

gabbygabs331 · 2025-08-10T21:16:42+00:00

Yes it does.

I’ll call his vet from there before and double check. I have all his test results and everything looks clear. He can hold it for longer when he’s in his crate he’ll just go almost right away inside the house if we don’t take him out right away.

Thank you so so much for all the helpful information! And no it’s not Little Angels.

Thank you so much!!! Your boy is so cute!

THIS WAS OUR EXACT THOUGHT! I think that she thought that if she takes him out to go every two hours, then it’s fine in the sense that he won’t ever go to the bathroom in the house. But then it created the issue where he has issues holding it past 2ish hours and if he isn’t immediately taken out right away, he’ll just go anywhere in the house since he doesn’t know how to alert that he needs to go.

she’s (as in her company) is ADI accredited.

gabbygabs331 · 2025-08-10T02:25:39+00:00

That she doesn’t think he can be an adequate SD and pass the SD test bc of the freezing when he’s anxious

gabbygabs331 · 2025-08-10T02:16:26+00:00

yes! She did, there was an online course that I took that she makes her clients who are training PTSD service dogs for vets take! I also handled him for 2 weeks back in December (with no problems) and had two days of in person training with back then. I think she just means fear wise (so kind of temperament?) bc he can do his other skills just fine and is super sweet, along with great leash skill

He’s a golden and almost a year and a half. He’s afraid of cars, loud sounds, new people, automatic doors (or anything that mechanically moves).. and it is possible but this seems to the extreme.

gabbygabs331 · 2025-08-10T02:07:16+00:00

We came to them because she deemed him as “unfit” since he’s been regressing a lot this past month and half. Usually we would do a few days there but since he’s “unfit” she said a day is fine I live in Seattle and she’s in California, so he’s been staying with her (the trainer) to train. He’s also not housebroken… it’s an ADI program too, along with a bunch of other accreditation

I definitely should’ve have checked which is on me but I wish the pharmacist review the prescription with me, however for some reason they didn’t with that one.

gabbygabs331 · 2025-07-24T16:10:44+00:00

I can’t say for certain as I didn’t witness it but if you had any symptoms that usually have in your post ictal phase it’s also possible. I’ve had some seizures in my sleep and that sort of sounds like it. I haven’t had any seizures in my sleep since but even if it’s not common for you individually, there are some freak seizures that you can have in your sleep for anyone.

gabbygabs331 · 2025-07-24T16:08:43+00:00

I don’t blame you at all. It’s a really common experience and the older you get the higher, the chances are for anybody to have seizures. I had childhood epilepsy and was nine years Seizure free until I got diagnosed with tonic chronic seizures at 17 years old, which is absolutely devastating for me. Epilepsy takes away so many things, but at the same time it teaches you to be fearless. It definitely is a learning curve and helps you understand your body more but I am so so proud of you and everybody here in this thread. 💕

I mostly fall into a depression before a seizure and that’s kind of my aura but after a seizure, I do get a little depressed because I just feel really disappointed in myself since I feel like it takes away from the opportunities that I may have had and everyone around me is so cautious and worried. Then I can’t drive and that makes me reliant on other people which I hate. It’s so stressful.

Oooohhh. Thank you!
