Guide Dog Air Travel 2021
zhlédnutí 387Před 3 lety
In April 2021, I flew across the US with my Guide Dog. We learned first hand how the recent changes in the rules for service animals on air travel are implemented. In this video I explain rights of service animal handlers, the ADA, and new steps to be aware of with the new rules. I share how I navigate air travel as a blind person and how it's different now with the regulations and with COVID. ...

How fun I love your costume so cute
OMG you are so funny thank you for making me laugh. Love your videos.
It seems like you’re very happy. Keep up the good work.👩🦯🤍💜
I know when you get a guy down they become your best friend like a kid every day all day but how many days out of the week should you be working your guide dog Siri is so funny
Love all these episodes and love your personality you make me laugh thank you
As a visually impaired man it’s a blessing folks like myself talk about things like this. I don’t know what it’s like too be blind I certainly do not know what it is like to drive myself places either due to low vision
Glad you enjoyed! Some of these conversations, even though they’re older, can still apply. It’s important for us to have support from multiple individuals. Losing your vision is like nothing else.
I am kindly on a waiting list to get a dog. I am still interested in this series. I love it, but I am watching it seven years later and it’s still very informative. Thank you.👩🦯💜🌻
🖤🧑🏻🦯🦮
You are a good mama to your guide dog 😍💜👩🦯
Thank you! It’s nice to hear that sometimes as I often feel inadequate, especially since the pandemic and losing more vision… Thank you!
Yes, I love this video. Seeing how adorable the dog is and her Zumiez and thank you to your friend that was there to help it’s just much easier when you have a team👩🦯💜🌻
Thank you for sharing your experience. I had fun watching you are such a character. Love your personality.😁👩🦯💜😂
You’re so sweet! Made my day :-)
How many from Infosys?
First time watching your videos. I think that you are doing great with these videos & centering yourself. I have my name down for a CNIB (Canadian National Institute for the blind guide dogs. Many years to wait but still so excited for the future guiding dog to help me & make my life easier. I am legally blind & I find winter horrendous. I love your vlogs! ❤
Thank you for making this video I’m so happy to hear someone else saying the same things I have been thinking, you made me feel less crazy
Great to have you back and good luck getting Joplin content with the harness again
@@BlindIC I can relate, honestly after the pandemic I’m pretty bored in my neighborhood as well lol. I am doing well thanks, super excited because I got a call that they think they have a match for me and I’m going to Guide Dog training in the beginning of June
@@asecretcourtofcrowsandcloc4084 that is so exciting! You’ll have to tell me who it is❤️😁🦮
I am working on captions. Cheryl normally makes sure the autocaptions are correct, but this time they didn't process so we have to write them out. Coming soon.
I really love your videos and I use a cane
I love your videos and I’m visually impaired
Thank you so much!!! Support and love to you!❤️🦮😎
Where could someone get a Jeremy of their own? I've burned myself many times pouring hot liquid.
Two good places to look are independent living aids website. Or MAXI aids website. Some of them come in different colors and some of them can be very loud, sound double check the reviews sometimes. Hope this is helpful! Great to hear from you
@@BlindIC thank you I'll check for the louder ones as I now have hearing aids on top of my vision loss.
Thank you! Such important info!
The Seeing Eye is such a fabulous organization!
Agreed! It’s my favorite one!❤️🦮😁
Fellow seeing eye grad here! Hello from me and my guide Iris!
Virtual hugs and tail wags from me and Joplin
I’m legally blind and I love all of my assistive technology. I loved seeing your Seeing Eye dog!❤️
Being blind myself, I love these little tools although I probably don’t use them as much as I should. My partners name is Jeremy also, good name!
Yes! Excellent name choice. Also, I am very guilty of the same thing. Thank you for watching and commenting!❤️🦮
It was a pleasure listening to you, colleen :) Inspiring and funny
Thank you! I am planning an updated version of the soon, which I know is a long time coming. Hope you are well! Thanks for commenting :-)
Can you do some videos of Joplin working
A little later on in the series I have a few, including some click and target videos. Still trying to get more content going, but will definitely try and feature more work :-)
@@BlindIC cool thanks
In Canada we have certification
Where is the park time door
Screw Ray Charles man, refer to him as Tittie Boy!
This is so relevant. I got a comment from another bus passenger yesterday about how I was so amazing for getting out and going somewhere on my own with my dog.
That was hilarious. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! I have so many other stories let me know if you have any requests. :-)
Thank you all so much for your comments they mean a lot! Hard to keep her training up during the pandemic, but I’m trying! So grateful to have her
Thank you!!! Great explanation of the gentle leader.
S fun! And so moving! We Seeing Eye Puppy Raisers always dream of what this day might be like for you. I cannot thank you enough for giving us this glimpse into your experience! And I love your sense of humor!
So great to hear from you and thank you for the amazing work you do! I can’t imagine the emotional roller coaster
@@BlindIC It is a little crazy to do sometimes. But we keep thinking of the ultimate goal and we are so excited for them and their forever person!
Thanks so mucho, Colleen! These are so fascinating!
Thank you for sharing ... great foundation for anyone who develops online content.
Great to have another video from you Colleen. I love your story time. Please do more in the future. Also, could you make some about your public transit interactions when you have had Joplin. Your voice impressions were hysterical. I’m sure that man thought he was helping you by taking you to the elevator but it was probably really scary to be grabbed from behind like that, especially by a man, and then forced to walk along with him.
Yes, I should definitely contrast that with some of the stories I’ve had with Joplin. As you can imagine it mostly involves people paying too much attention to her and not enough attention to what I’m saying. Thanks for your patience during quarantine, I hope to have more videos soon :-)
That makes total sense. But they would be so focused on her they ignored you. I mean it doesn’t make sense but it’s whatever expect from speaking with other service dog handler. Can’t wait to hear another story time video from you and hope you’re staying safe
Great stories! I am a fellow Seeing Eye grad, and I enjoy your videos. Ollie sends tail wags to Joplin.
So great to hear from you! Lots of tail wags and hopefully we will be able to properly work the dogs soon. Let me know if you have any requests. Thanks for listening! ❤️🦮
I am glad to see you both back on the channel! I am so glad that you both are safe and can’t imagine how scary both of the situations you described must have been! I am honestly always nervous about getting on escalators with my dog even though she absolutely loves them! Also Covid boredom is definitely a thing! I know my girl is extremely bored and I think she was looking forward to coming back to University except for the fact that we are pretty much still at home except when we go to the one building on campus where all three of our classes are and two are in the same room.
I have been following you since you went to get Joplin. I have enjoyed your videos very much. I went to Leader Dog last year to get my guide dog. Her name is glacier. Keep up the good work
Thanks for sharing!! Love the bone broth idea!!!
Nice video and good advice for service dog handlers in both part 1 and 2. Last week I listened to the audiobook Kika and Me. It is very good I think you would enjoy it.
I have a couple questions about the puzzle toy. First, what is the brand and the name of the exact toy that you got? Second, do the pieces actually come off the puzzle, or do they just slide and lift but not detach? Thank you so much for sharing these great ideas. By the way, fellow seeing eye dog handlers here.
I am so sorry if I didn’t reply to this comment earlier! I think we put a link in the description, but I can also let you know that the puzzles are from the company “outward hound “and in the puzzle shown, some of the pieces come out and some of them slide. Sometimes she will rip the tops off of the slide pieces but they snap back into place. I recently got a more difficult puzzle and that does not have elements that come off of it it is just moving and sliding pieces around, and spinning certain things to get to the holes in the bottom
Thanks so much for your response. Are you able to reply with a link to the more difficult puzzle? I might possibly have it (the puzzle that is), but I’m not sure. Thanks!
Hello! Hopefully this link is to the circular puzzle toy that I was talking about that is more difficult. Again sorry took me so long to get back to you! Hope you are doing wellOutward Hound Nina Ottosson Interactive Puzzle Game Dog Toys www.amazon.com/dp/B0719Q89XH/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_WSM9ECBAN5Y0VEG49DMJ?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
So cute! Joplin is such a good dog.
Great video! I am waiting to get my first guide dog and I’m so excited
I hope you were able to get your dog before the pandemic, or that you have been able to be one of the people who has gotten to go during quarantine.
Joplin is always so cute! I love watching her figuring things out.
I'm so glad that you and Joplin are alright. I live in Canada and was watching you regularly and then was worried about you when you stopped posting. I'm getting a service dog at first they thought that I would get an EA but then they decided that for me to owner train would be the best considering all of my issues that are not just my eyesight. I have had a reduction as well and can sympathize with you. I also have fibromyalgia and have mental health issues.
Welcome back. I don’t upload as much as I used to.
More Seeing Eye dog excitement please!
Looks like your making the best of new things to do while being cooped up! Glad you are back on line. I now will trust Cheryl to do my hairstyle ;-)
Cheryl says she'll do your hair any time although it might be too long :)
