im getting a poodle as a service dog , and would a standerd poodle be the same size as labrador retriever? whats the size difference?

[francoroni]

@tara6692 They might be similar in weight, but a standard poodle has longer legs compared to a lab, so the poodle would likely be taller than the lab. If the poodle and the lab were the same height, it would be a lighter weight than the lab. For example, my Ollie is 28 inches at the shoulder and only 67 lbs.

where did you get your pack vest? i like how it has a pouch on top. i'd like to get one for my PSD

[francoroni]

@blackshepherdmom The vest in this particular video does not have a pouch on top-- it is a standard service vest from pupparel. If you look at my newer videos, you'll see a vest that has a pouch on top and a handle on the side. That one I got from Freedom Design USA. the pricing on their website is wrong, and you must call to place the order. Petjoyonline also sells a pouch you can put on the top of some of their vests, but it is quite a bit bigger.

@2KARGARAGE if you were smart, you would have noticed that ollie was still just a puppy. In your little fantasy world, a 10 month old puppy must be perfect, but in reality, this is just the beginning of training. Educate yourself before you make yourself look any more ignorant and rude.

@francoroni Sorry, just looked at the video and saw that in this one I am actually using the activedogs reflective one. I hadn't gotten the onlead one yet. You can see that one in my later videos.

@therapydogchick Mine was a gift from friends who got it from onlead (dog) biz. Many places make them, though. I have a reflective one from activedogs as well- it is rough on the hands, though. Bridgeportequipment has leather and colored nylon ones. Servicedogdesigns makes some nice leather ones, too- including ones with an integrated limited-slip collar.

Where did you get your over the shoulder leash, I would like to get one for my SD but am trying to find the best kind.

@MyMinPinDoesTricks I think Spoos are a great choice-- not that I am biased or anything!

I've been trying and trying to get my Dobe to be my PSD, she is very well trained, she is just so shy. I decided not to stress her with that job, I'm going to start with a puppy. I love standard poodles! I've been researching them for years. I may be getting one to train to be my PSD. I'm working with a proffesional trainer so I don't mess up this time LOL. Very nice heeling on ollie's part!
