This one brings us all the way to Lincoln, Nebraska, just an hour away from the childhood home of my true love and the eternal queen of my heart, Amanda “Skinwalker” Winig. Here's Myranda and Jessabelle is her bluetick coonhound service dog in training. #mobilitydog #psychdog. I’m already angry.
I am trying my very very best not to be too MATI right now but I am an enormous coonhound fan. I love them for the very qualities that make them hellishly unsuitable for service dog work so even as desensitized as I am to this shit after years of writing about it, watching someone trying to abuse coonhounds into behaving like golden retrievers instead of just getting a fucking golden in the first place is particularly infuriating to me. She has seriously started a whole SD breeding and training program with coonhounds because she needed to justify her own incredibly poor decision to turn a backyard breeder discount coonhound puppy into a “service dog” for attention. Like Mel with her schnauzer, she will readily admit they are a poor choice for the job and barely make good pets but tries to frame it as a challenge she’s brave enough to overcome and sneers at people who choose an appropriate breed because they just don’t want to work as hard as she does.
I tried to keep it light and entertaining and also base my writing on my own fairly extensive experience with this breed (as pets, not working or hunting dogs, including one who was punished extensively by a previous owner for normal hound behavior) but as always feel free to correct me if I’m being an ass and/or showing mine.
Back story: she didn’t want to wait until she got a pesky diagnosis before getting a service dog. Having decided she wasn’t spending more than $200 on a puppy and apparently never having had a scenthound before in her life, she went to a shady backyard breeder who was churning out litters of bluetick coonhounds and bought one. The puppy licked her face and made the sads go away which means she’s a true and honest service dog. And her therapist agrees because she’s so smol it’s impossible to medicate her. She is very very small though, she has a growth hormone deficiency and maxed out at 4’6” and approx 80 lb at the start of her account.
#PTSDdog.
Even back this early she's training dogs and doing video training sessions for other people who want to pretend their pets with minimal obedience training are service dogs. Remember the video part, it’s important.
Tagging the service dog gear brand Skooby and Skrappy's, who have now rebranded as Bing's Pets and focus more on flat collars, martingales, and leashes now but still do commissions for service dog harnesses/capes. For a while they were one of the must-have Etsy gear shops for the instaspoonie set along with Patience and Love and Mutt Butt Gear.
The dog is distracted but let's be fair. She's a puppy and she's learning.
We already know from her first few posts that this is a person who can’t ever accept advice and always thinks she knows best. A goat halter is totally appropriate for her dog! It's not that the other ones were tightened incorrectly and she was pulling on them too much! It's that her dog alone is unique.
Taking photos on the shitter already and someone in the comments tells her to check out Jaquie's account. At this point she claims Jessa knows 20 different tasks, way too many to show on instagram. She also is afraid of skateboards but it's not her fault. Someone else ran over her tail with one.
She's training the dog to open doors to get to her.
She's giving away another dog saying she'd be great for an ESA or therapy dog.
She literally screams the dog's name at the top of her lungs when she wants her to open the door, to replicate her screaming during a panic attack. Poor animal. #abusesurvivor #domesticviolencesurvivor
"I don't actually know how this works but I'm gonna do it anyway because I know I'm always right." This becomes one of Jessa’s major tasks.
Despite looking damn near 50, Myranda is only 24. This dog hasn't wanted to "work" from day one.
I love this. “I train service dogs so she’s pro-trained!” You bought a puppy from a shitty backyard breeder and taught it a few party tricks and how to almost behave on a lead.
Her dog barks at zoo animals and shits in a walkway but it's fine! It's totally okay! She knows what she's doing! I'm sure I've said this before but Disney World installed service dog paths through their zoo-themed park Animal Kingdom that bypass most of the enclosures to prevent stressing the animals out. The park has been open for 25 years and it's only recently that they've had to do this. I wonder why that is.
Crossover with Rose/pood.dude. Already! Rose and Willow are fucking everywhere in this road trip man. I wish Willow wasn’t private but alas, she’s one of the few smart ones. Oliver's Customs was Rose's brief foray into the service dog gear world selling paracord collars, leashes, traffic tabs, and pull straps for pets and service dogs. It was only active for about a year before she moved from Alabama to Florida.
She has not taken the well-meaning advice about the goat halters and will now be selling them, made from hemp rope. Why does this seem like a really bad materials choice for dogs. A deleted comment tries to tell her this is a bad idea but she is undeterred.
She has a panic attack on the shitter because she thought she saw her abuser outside the bathroom window. Jessabelle responds to her screaming by laying on her lap. On the shitter. "Grab the camera! This is one for the insta!"
For once I agree with a munchie. Bite sports and service dogs are incompatible. I don't care how much control you feel you have over your animal. You are teaching it that in some contexts it is not only okay but desirable to bite someone who is approaching you. They all say "but it only attacks the target!" and Myranda correctly points out that these look similar to a puffy coat and dogs are dumb. It's not worth the risk that a kid in a puffy coat runs up on your dog and it thinks it's go time.
"This is why coonhounds suck." It begins. Anyone who has ever been around a coonhound will tell you that they have all majored in LOUDNESS STUDIES. They are extremely vocal and hoot, whistle, whine, and groan their way through life. The true song of their people is an excruciatingly loud blast of noise directed at anything that catches their interest which is really fun when they are right next to your head when they see this thing (bonus points if you’re asleep). When bored or anxious or just generally wanting your attention they make this high pitched obnoxious whistle which is what our friend here is describing.
She's simply too smart to do her tasks in practice because she knows it's not a real emergency. Teaching her dog to turn on a touch lamp for her PTSD nightmares, because touching a lamp next to her bed is just too much effort.
Jessabelle is in a fear period as Myranda turns 25.
My dog wasn’t reactive, it was a vocal alert! Then she admit this was undesirable behavior that had to be trained out with the help of someone else, but it wasn’t trained out as we will see. So when Myranda says "alerting to triggers" what she means is she claims she taught Jessabelle to "alert" her to people nearby who look a certain way because they remind her of the mysterious abuser, or to "alert" to people who are approaching. So when you read "vocally alerting to non-triggers" read "barking and lunging at people". Myranda tried to treat it like reactivity but it didn't work which means it's a true alert and the dog knew it was more important to bark at a toddler than to listen to commands. She gets put on a service dog blacklist which, as far as I can tell as an outsider, is other local SD handlers saying "avoid this chick because her dog might attack yours."
"Pretty sure we'll never get item retrieval down." You won't! Perhaps if you needed this task you should have gone with a retriever, because coonhounds couldn’t care less. That's not their job.
Got stood up by an internet date, need service dog.
Here is your first clue that Myranda only cares about her dogs as long as they are providing her with something. This is Angel, the dog she was trying to get rid of a few weeks ago. The placement she found fell through and Myranda says if you don't take her she's going to the shelter.
Some dude teases her on the bus after she screams at him so she calls the police. Myranda is the problem in every interaction she has and she never, ever realizes it. I do not believe her abusive relationship stories because every time she posts about an interaction she has the other person is always outrageously over-the-top aggressive and wrong in her retelling. Myranda is absolutely the type to relentlessly bait you into a fight then cry that you’re verbally abusive when you ask her what her problem is.
She's #lonely and #depressed now that the ESA is gone. Won't someone please think of Myranda?
"She doesn't care about traffic!" posts a shot of an empty road.
Training tasks she doesn’t need now but might need if she ever develops diabetes or a massive spinal cord injury. God I love these chicks scrambling to justify why they need a dog. Just say you wanted to train this for your fun or for their mental stimulation or whatever lmao.
The dog is very reactive to other dogs, almost lost her cool on a seeing eye dog who, per the photo. Myranda is doing positive reinforcement training. Oh good, we have nothing to discuss
“Do not talk to handler. Triggers stress.” I just kind of want this on my office door. Also the round white one says "service hound: may bark as alert." LMAO.
“vocal alerting to my anxiety” during therapy. Chances are good dog was vocally alerting to her own boredom. Or she was just making noise because noise can be made, because that’s what coonhounds do. Why be silent when you can make a noise that decalcifies someone’s spine? That is way more fun.
‘Willful disobedience’ = my dog isn't misbehaving, she's tasking!
Haha yeah the “vocal alert” to her rising anxiety is definitely just the dog whining because she’s anxious/bored. So she feeds it to shut it up which reinforces that “I whine, I get snax and comfort.” The bus driver is reporting her for abusing her dog because Jessa got hurt on the bus previously and very obviously is not enjoying her job. She retaliates and tries to get him fired over it.
can’t take selfies because of her abuse, also has a pedo van.
Finds a stray dog that doesn’t know any obedience. Already has plans to train him and sell him as a SD. The next day she finds his owner plans to do this with Craigslist dogs.
She realizes Jessa is way behind her friends' year old dogs' training but she'll get there!
She picked a fight over Susan Grill, the crazy poodle lady who sued Disney. Everything is fine with them except the entire basis of their training model! She deletes the post because she can't stand that the commenters are disagreeing with her and she sees notifications of this.
She started a new page for her burgeoning service dog training business called Claws 2 Kisses Canine Academy.
Thinks she’s qualified to train allergy detection. Good thing none of the girls who she’ll be training them for actually have real allergies.
Also thinks that she can train adult dogs with no training or socialization for public access. The rest of this account is boring, let’s not waste our time. Point is Myranda’s the Dunning-Kruger of service dogs.
Puppy makes the suicides go away.
Oh good, she's realized coonhounds are not the appropriate breed for this and will be trying over with... a Weimaraner. All I know about Weims is intense prey drive, super high energy, and separation anxiety out the wing-wang. So a
neurotic coonhound.
Jessabelle does not want to be here.
picking fights with the bite sport SD set again.
Jessa has been attacked several times. When someone says this I
always think their dog is the problem. Or rather, they are because they want to prove their dog has gotten better with their reactivity and your dog will be the proof.
“People are not buying my line that my barking dog is a super serious alert”. Jessa is banned from going into the courthouse for barking at the guards but it’s just because Myranda didn’t get a chance to explain this was a super real alert.
Myranda's abuser’s mother also abused her and now she's dead and Myranda rejoices. I want to just put it out there that every interaction this woman has with anyone gives away that she is the bad guy. The guy on the bus who "thumped her head?" She both started and escalated that fight. The bus driver? Dog was miserable and crying on the bus after a previous injury and Myranda admit she got off a mile from her home just to avoid more narc injury from her dog not behaving. The constant dog attacks? Her dog is the reactive one who can't even be around a program trained guide dog without losing her marbles. There will be many more examples.
Not doxing the kid, but this woman has reproduced. She has a daughter (4 years old when this was posted) who blessedly does not live with her and is only mentioned once or twice. She never says who has the daughter, whether it's her "abuser" or her family (who are also "abusive" according to her), but she does not have custody. FTR, Myranda has a private personal page but every time she mentions it she says don't even request unless she knows you IRL and you have to send proof of identity. I'm sure she lets it all hang out on there but alas, we must make do.
I just. . . why? Also everything in her house has a patina of grime on it if it's not outright falling apart. You can be poor as hell and still make things look nice. I promise.
yeah lol coonhounds love coffee. And anything else that smells of food.
Jessa has a lump on her foot. It's just a lipoma (benign fatty tumor).
Despite only claiming psychiatric problems she now needs a rigid bracing and counterbalance harness and yes, she will be training these things herself. Gib, because she's unemployed and her roommate will only pay for x-rays to check the dog's joints but not the custom harness and she'll literally die if she can't have her dog with her to bear her weight. Spoonies gabe the funds so she can cripple her dog.
Thanks for the address.
A new guide dog appears. She'll mention this dog a bunch of times and always claims it's pulling, lunging, growling, and trying to get to hers. We'll examine this again at a later time.
She legitimately says this is "the worst breed for the job" (I agree!) but tries to claim that this is just a greater challenge she stepped up to and other SD people need to lay off her because they have no idea how much harder she needs to work to get Jessa to almost behave in public. At least she tells this other asshat that training a hound with aversive techniques is a really bad idea. You might make them compliant in the short term but longterm they're going to be total basketcases. "No aversives will ever be used." Watch this space! One last note: from my notes acatwithamission was a "task trained service cat" but the account is now gone. Missed opportunity.
No, this isn't someone else's fault for feeding her on a plate. This is normal scenthound behavior. They smell your food and it smells tasty.
This woman just loves a GFM. Dead link.
All of her listed diagnoses remain psychiatric. She did mention the growth hormone deficiency a few times.
How is this any easier than microwaving a mug full of water or putting a pot on the stove?
1) she sold her “beloved” ESA ferret to fund the dog. 2) here’s her phone number. The fuck is wrong with this woman? Look I really can’t take someone who claims they have serious abuse trauma and are terrified for their life all the time because their abuser might find them, but gives away their personal contact information all over the internet on a public account.
(I also have trouble taking someone serious if they claim profound stress and anxiety from any attention and this is why they need a service dog for their constant public outings as a dog in a non-dog place is one of the biggest attention magnets I can think of.)
migraines
Lmao another example of her dog being a dog in public and her claiming it’s a task and not the dog doin dog stuff.
And the dog's own anxiety and comfort seeking being mistaken for an alert to the handler's anxiety.
using the breast feeding privacy room as her own personal panic room.
The dog was abused by her ex and now she gets aggressive sometimes but that doesn't mean she can't be a service dog.
Outstanding. Any force makes jessa shut down but she's such a great trainer and she alone is up to this task. If your genetically stubborn service dog won't do what you say, that's a you problem! Myranda, I will judge whoever the fuck I want.
She runs into another service dog. That dog behaves while Jessa acts like she’s had no training.
A few days later she reports her dog is not at all distracted by other dogs even with a puppy jumping all over her at the dog park.
She starts using a martingale collar. These are actually made to keep sighthounds (greyhounds, borzois, whippets, etc) from backing out of collars which is important because their heads are smaller in circumference than their necks. If you use a standard flat collar and they back up, the collar slips right off. The martingale prevents this by tightening to the width of their neck if engaged. There's a limited amount of slip unlike a choke that can tighten until the dog is dead. If properly fitted a closed martingale will be flush to the width of their neck but not constrictive. You should still be able to slide your fingers under it when fully closed. They are not really intended for dogs who pull or lunge forward on the lead, just for dogs who back out, but they've been adopted as a control method for pulling dogs anyway. From what I can see she's got it fitting already pretty tight to keep it in the "prong" position and if Jessa pulls it's going to tighten way beyond what is safe.
Jessa jumps on someone that is, to her, a stranger. It's Myranda's ex-stepfather who she hasn't seen since before she got the dog. This is fine though. The dog is just psychic and knows this one person is okay to jump on.
She has the kind of migraines where she can update her social media several times to let us know she has one.
Don’t you dare come for her for training weight bearing when she has no idea what she’s doing.
Chronic pain. Everyone tells her it’s sciatica except one dumbfuck who tells her it’s CRPS. She also has a club foot from birth that was surgically corrected but never healed entirely.
...she needs the mobility harness for sciatica. paracord causes "texture issues" for her and she discards the idea that her dog is too young for this by saying by the time she gets the harness she'll be old enough. Problem solved hayders.
Welcome to coonhound, enjoy your stay.
The selfie phobia is back.
trying to destroy a small business because they told her her barely trained dog couldn't sit inside the restaurant but was fine on the patio. Remember that she's said Jessa is a whiny vocal dog who barks at "triggers" and also constantly begs for people food.
Lol the amount of personification these people do to their dogs. No your four month old puppy was not doing a Lassie moment. She got spooked and ran back to her safe place.
WOW YOUR SCENTHOUND IS SNIFFING A LOT??? YOU DON'T FUCKING SAY. It's almost like that's what scenthounds are bred for, wild.
Her service dog journey: She was just training pets to behave as a hobby/side-hustle when some other attention-seeker asked her to turn their pet into a service dog for muh mentuls. Myranda, having no idea what this entailed, agreed to give it a shot. After realizing how lax service dog laws are in the US, she decided she wanted one too. She intends to train Jessa to alert to migraines.
No you won’t lol.
Your dog is anxious.
whogivesaSDIT was Susan Grill of Trained & Maintained.
No, you got her because she was available from a BYB for under $200 when you decided you wanted a service dog. You already told us this. Just confirmation that she'd never even seen a coonhound before Jessa. She was once set on getting a Weimaraner after Jessa but now she's going between an amstaff and another coonhound.
Working the dog "naked" to bait people, as is tradition.
Why are you training the dog in churches if churches are too triggering for you to even enter? Another one who wants to get a lot of sympathy from the jesus people?
She's going to college and hopes Jessa is fully trained before she starts.
The year old dog who doesn’t listen and is anxious and reactive is now fully trained because Myranda’s moved the goalpost. She'll also be a therapy dog and help train other service dogs! What a miracle wonder dog she has.
This dog is anxious and also as a brand new puppy stopped her from committing suicide.
Remember when Jessa was super sensitive to any correction and would shut down or become aggressive so only positive reinforcement with food rewards would work for her? Prong collar, and you will be blocked hayturs. Of course she can’t admit this is because she’s made a mistake and this dog is not okay and she has no idea how to fix it. It’s someone else’s fault for triggering Jessa. Someone tells her to pull the dog from public access at least temporarily but Myranda knows best. She's a dog behaviorist. (LMAO NO THE FUCK YOU ARE NOT)
Remember, she got this for dissociation, sciatica, and an improperly healed club foot she's lived with for as long as she could walk.
She's allergic to "all members of the pepper family" but not nightshades in general because she eats potatoes and tomatoes just fine.
Because Jessa was attacked in her gear, she now behaves worse when wearing it. Or she doesn't want to be working and reacts to the situation. Which is more likely?
Her dog totally pointed at the burger joint's menu to indicate she would like a burger! She's a genius! This dog behaviorist sure doesn't know much about dog behavior, does she? The dog smells meat.
She won't use the prong around her roommate's parents because they'll judge.
The dog is reactive in Canine Good Citizen class. So, opposite of a canine good citizen.
Her highly trained service dog drank reptile water at petsmart and is sick. Just lmao what the fuck, why are you not watching your dog and how do you not notice it’s doing this?
Dog still reactive in CGC class after asshat owner spends all day dragging her around to stores for attention instead of letting her burn her energy up.
Two years before doing weight bearing is baloney! Ignore the vet, trust the instagram goblin.
Migraine alerting.
Woman who has no idea what she's doing teaches other munchies how to cripple their dogs. In the comments, Susan Grill defends her
Still dog reactive but only to dogs that look like the one that attacked her. Sure whatever. CGC test coming up.
She also feeds off her owner’s anxiety and gets aggressive to cops. Once again, Myranda is the problem. She has a dog that is reactive to other dogs and people off leash at the mall. Then she gets in a physical "struggle" with teenagers because they opened a curtain in the nursing room when she was using it as a panic room. Her dog is NOT reactive! She doesn't bark at people, she barks at triggers who happen to be people! She can't tell you what happened in the fight because she's having flashbacks and needs time to heal! Myranda calls police because it's ILLEGAL!!! for teenagers to exist in a manner that proves her dog is reactive. People tell her to pull the fucking dog from access before someone gets hurt.
"She earned her colors. She graduated today. She earned her gold star today." Oh, so she passed the CGC? Perhaps i am wrong about Jessabelle’s issues! Perhaps Myranda has been focusing on the negative and her definition of "reactivity" is looking in the general direction of another dog!
Hiding on her side account.
Blocking everyone who points out the obvious problems here.
Her relationship with her roommate is weird as fuck.
Everyone knows Jessabelle is a ticking time bomb and Myranda is a nightmare who can't take criticism or accept responsibility. She's been shunned by local service dog groups for doing heavy mobility with no experience or guidance and without getting the proper testing first (she got standard x-rays but not OFA or PennHip) when the dog is too young and not done filling out and for working a dog that is reactive as all hell towards people and animals. Everyone knows if Jessa mauls their dog Myranda will blame them and you can't even sue her for the vet bills because she's unemployed and broke. Also, surprise! Jessa actually failed her CGC but it's only because she was alerting to Myranda's anxiety during the supervised separation! It's not fair that her dog alone wasn't given special treatment! She's going to petco where they'll understand that her dog should be exempt from portions of the test that she cannot successfully complete.
Just because we didn't test to see if she's sound for mobility doesn't mean she isn't! I mean, I don't really think heavy mobility is appropriate for dogs period and a lot of legitimate programs agree, like Canine Companions for Independence who not only will not train it but from what I understand they will revoke your dog if they find out you're doing this to them. Get a walker or a cane or whatever, but she isn't lying. She's only 25 lbs heavier than Jessabelle and well within the safe weight differential for dogs and weight bearing if such a thing exists. By the way, guide handles are meant to transmit motion to the handler's hand so they know where it's safe to walk. They don't put any weight on the handle or pull back on it because that would make it impossible for the dog to guide. So the fact that guide dogs get acclimated to their gear at 6 months is very different from some munchie slamming herself into the dog's spine for attention or yanking backwards on it like Myranda wants to do.
Selling rottweiler puppies as future service dogs now.
Planning to teach her next dog latin so it only listens to her.
Jessa chases a critter. Myranda often remarks on how Jessa is not allowed to sniff on their outings, which is mind-blowing to me. Scenthounds live nose to ground. Mine don't even look at their surroundings half the time on a walk because they're too caught up in the Sniff Experience.
The dog is trained to chase and trip children. Or the dog did this stuff and she pretended it was trained behavior to keep them safe rather than puppy roughhousing. Why are you letting preschoolers in your care run around loose near a street? why are you letting a dog trip them? Why are people leaving preschoolers in your care to begin with? Why don’t you have custody of your own preschool aged child? The mind boggles.
It's that darn guide dog again! This time she claims he bit Jessa when she was just being a perfect angel. So the guide dog is from a program and has been matched with his handler, who is actually blind, since 2012. Myranda knows the guy because they attended the same school. She can’t claim he’s a FAKE SERVICE DOG!!! so she does what any reasonable person would do: finds the dude on social media so she can figure out what program he got the dog from and scream at them about how this terrible monster of a program-trained guide dog is dangerous. She’s considering posting notices everywhere that the team has to be avoided (while also saying she can't possibly avoid them and screaming about how blacklisting teams is bad.)
She switches the prong for a StarMark which is a gentler corrective, but her reason is that it doesn't stand out against Jessa's coat or look like a traditional prong so people judge her less for using it. No concern for the dog's health. It's entirely about what makes her look better.
Her dog is becoming more anxious. A year ago she didn't care about fireworks; now she's very afraid of them.
Myranda hires a dog walker. Good, maybe Jessabelle will get adequate exercise for once. (lol she won't)
LMAOOOO comparing a standardized certification and registration process for SDs to nazi germany, the audacity. Even people who agree with her about the registry tell her the comparison is shit.
Just proof she really does have a club foot and she claims it causes joint misalignment and pain. But she has an orthotic for it, she's lived her whole life with this problem, and dogs are not canes.
The obvious bait of bringing an unvested, unmarked dog into a store. Calls the police on some poor schmuck just trying to get through her shitty retail job.
So close, down to admitting they’re not even really good pets for inexperienced owners and if not properly socialized will kill a cat. She's too arrogant to admit that she, personally, has made a mistake so she has to make them sound like they're a terrible choice for everyone else, even as pets, and it's only through her amazing training skills that this dog is not currently ripping your face off. Other hound people tell her this is not a good look and makes her dog seem aggressive.
She films a video in the public bathroom where you can see her pants are down, also her dog licks the floor the whole time because god hounds are so gross lmao, god bless. Here’s as good a time as any to inform you, dear readers, of yet another reason coonhounds should not be service dogs: they absolutely
reek. They have very very oily coats and exposed to body heat and sunlight that skin oil goes rancid and turns into doggy odor straight from the bowels of hell. Add to that the pendulous floppy ears keeping all that good ear stench brewing all the time. Even fresh out of the bath your coonhound will smell like it’s decomposing and there’s just nothing you can do about it. They’re also unusually prone to flatulence. There is a good reason we lovingly call them “stinkhounds."
Anyway she's registering for school and now Jessa is great and wonderful and even helps a stranger with a meltdown.
Why not just make sure she's in her vest?
Wah, why don't the local service dog groups like meeeee?
I just have to laugh at the other service dog person almost getting their SDIT taken away by EMTs after an accident, as if being in the care of emergency responders is not enough and she will die without the untrained puppy.
Another migraine but also how many times is this girl going to give out her phone number and beg people to talk to her? Like she’s just constantly giving out her location on public social media then complaining about PTSD flashbacks and abusive exes, it just comes off so fake. Also she claimed because of her abusive ex she had a phobia of having her photo taken but that’s out the window now too I guess.
They hate her for no reason except that she’s trying to force a coonhound to be a service dog, the dog is reactive to people and other dogs, she didn't get its joints fully checked before she decided to use it as a literal crutch, she tried to get a blind guy's seeing eye dog revoked because hers can't behave well enough to pass CGC, she baits businesses into "access issues" so she can screech on social media and gets in physical fights with teenagers for disturbing her while she's using a nursing room as her own private panic space, etc etc. But she'll be meeting a new service animal soon! Hint, it's not a dog.
her coonhound barks at the vet. SHE'S NOT REACTIVE!!!!
She gets a new dog named Kipper, later Copper, but don't worry. He's not a SD prospect. He's way too skittish for that.
And the e-collar has arrived because Jessa selfishly won’t stop being a coonhound. It's not an e-collar! It's a
remote training device. Instead of just admitting this was a terrible idea, she’s going to punish the dog for doing what it’s been bred to do. She knows how to use it so don't you dare try to tell her she's wrong. All the other owner-trainers talk about what a wonderful tool this is (some advising her to only use it on vibrate mode) while one lone hound person in the comments is pointing out that Myranda swore she'd NEVER use one of these and she shouldn't be doing so.
She cuts her hand open and has to pay out of pocket because for some reason she doesn’t have insurance in a post-ACA America even though she has no job. This one's not going to give us and ports n' tubes my friends.
Her dog is pulling on a walk while she’s trying to use her for “counterbalance” she isn’t trained to do properly in the first place (and it’s arguably not ethical to do this period). She loses her temper and screams at the dog. A bystander says Myranda needs to stop being a piece of shit, which makes poor Myranda start to panic at the thought that people can see through her bullshit because the dog simply isn’t doing what it should do. Then the dog “momentum pulls away” so now pulling on the walkies is desired behavior she’s not corrected but rewarded for, immediately after being screamed at for doing it. And poor Myranda, the forever victim, must sit on the ground with her dog on her lap because she has ouchies.
She’s going to community college. #spoonie
This is separation anxiety. It's not a good thing.
I can’t electrocute my dog for doing dog things anymore
She doesn’t listen very well because she’s a coonhound. Do you get how this works?
She’s decided she wants to get another coonhound SD despite Jessa’s many shortcomings, and she’ll be breeding it!
No, she’s begging. That’s what they do. Super strong sniffer and your food is tastier than theirs.
Phone number. Again.
Hanging out with Flirty the Service Horse lmao.
Aww cute, chimping out because of little instamunchie groups being meanie doodoo heads. Poor baby. Welcome to hell. Once again gets super defensive about how her dog is NOT REACTIVE.
Fear of cameras, PTSD. Interviewing for news pieces. Discuss amongst yourselves.
Filming some rando because the guide dog is back. I don't even really get it. She's saying the dog's socialization wasn't kept up on but the handler is out with him all the time, obviously, since she runs into him seemingly every other week. Presumably they run into rambunctious puppies, reactive scared dogs, and aggressive shitheads that the blind handler is unaware of and the dog must keep the handler safe from. I don't suppose this animal is rushing up on every dog it sees to attack it and I have to assume Jessa is the aggressor.
SHE’S NOT AGGRESSIVE OR REACTIVE!!!! People tell her this is sending the wrong message and if the dog isn't aggressive she needs to stop making it seem like it is.
Why do you need this task? Your problems are psychiatric and ouchy foot.
Sniffing up susan's skirt again. Zoezasd in the comments is Cian, the chick who ran the SD gear brand with Hayden.
How to cripple your dog, with Myranda!
Copper, last seen doing fine with just a harness, is now getting the starmark too.
Now the problem is she was spayed too young. Mean vets took advantage of poor Myranda who simply did not know better.
She gets mad at a puppy raiser and she's heading to Florida.
Attacked again by another FAKE SERVICE DOG!!!!! How? My dogs never get attacked despite running into other strange dogs all the time in dog friendly places, because I'm aware of what mine are doing and cautious about what yours are. How do these people end up getting in so many dog fights all the time?
This dog ain’t alerting to shit except her own desire to not be doing this.
And she's still barking and whining in public. Remember: when her dog barks it’s a super life saving task but when any other dog barks it’s a FAKE SERVICE DOG!!! and/or trying to attack hers.
These girls ostensibly understand exposure and desensitization when it comes to their dogs but holy moly when it comes to themselves, you need to cater your life around their specific and numerous triggers and exposure absolutely does not work.
Oh hey! This is what coonhounds are actually bred to do: track and chase animals up trees then bay loud as hell to keep it there until the hunter arrives. This is also what makes them a phenomenally poor choice as a service dog. Huge prey drive and total stubbornness means the critter is their single-minded obsession and you will not call them off. They live nose-to-ground and if they catch a scent trail they’re going for it regardless of your own feelings and with a symphony of assorted hound noises. And one more reason a coonhound should never even be considered as a service dog: they want to walk a lot. That doesn’t sound like a bad thing, you want your service dog to be able to go where ever you go, right? Except by a lot I mean if you’re not hunting with them 90 solid minutes per day is the bare minimum they want to walk. On a nice night, mine want to go 2-3 hours. Now remember these girls claim they can’t get out of bed most days. They have a reputation for being lazy couch potatoes but that’s because surprise! They’re also pretty heat intolerant because they’re bred to hunt at night in the fall and winter, so if you live in a hot climate [laughs in Florida Woman] that means you’re committing to waking them at like 2 am when the temperature is tolerable to them or they will drive you up a fucking wall all day.
Jessa does not want to be doing this.
She gets a new cape for jessa with her insta handle on it.
She’s going to Florida to train with the poodle lady who assures her the coonhound can learn a migraine alert.
Can livestream on insta for hours, can’t zoom for school because muh camera phobia. Lol.
Jessa’s back on the prong now that Myranda figured out how to hide it under a bandana so she doesn’t get any mean faces from people who think a service dog should be able to work without corrective devices.
Now copper’s on the prong because she can’t train a dog to heel to save her life.
C-barq is a behavioral questionnaire designed by PennVet and Myranda filled it out herself, meaning she inflated Jessa’s good qualities and minimized her bad ones. Because she’s so committed to the “vocal alert” and SHE’S NOT REACTIVE lies that she won’t honestly answer.
First of all, it’s been really throwing me off how
old she looks. I keep thinking she’s super immature, and she is, but it’s not as jarring when you realize she’s only in her mid-20s not her late 40s. But also she’s claiming multiple mental breakdowns. “All I can do is pretend I’m someone else through a screen.” Lol.
Jessa’s suspicious of a stranger that walks by. Myranda says this is her trained alert to a PTSD trigger rather than Jessa being anxious about her surroundings.
No. It’s not the public's job to manage your mental illness for you.
She starts a Sarahah and I just learned that this platform was called Sarahah. I’ve been calling it Sahara all these years. Remember when she couldn’t be on camera for class? Now offering Skype calls.
Almost immediately she regrets getting on this platform. The dog is NOT AGGRESSIVE! That’s just a lie made up by the scum of the service dog community. She’s been attacked 6+ times so it’s understandable that she growls and barks at other dogs. They’re just mad that she started training Jessa for heavy mobility at 16 months without getting her OFA. People trying to warn others to keep their animals away from Jessa before she snaps are just vicious rumor-spreaders bashing Myranda for no reason. Also holy shit have any of these girls heard that dogs are living creatures, not crutches?
Can’t be on Zoom for class because “camera phobia” from her “abuse.” Can livestream and make videos of her face for insta.
Welcome to hell! Tagging @servicedogcolt lol “unfounded rumors”. For our new friends to the thread, ServiceDogColt was a classic epilepsy munchie who faked a craniotomy complete with cutting and stapling her own head. Her second greatest hit was going to the ER with what looked like chocolate pudding on her face claiming it was blood from biting her tongue mid-seizure and complaining that they didn’t wash her face for her.
She just can’t stop doxing herself.
LMAO you have to give her a trigger warning if you use or mention using anything by the very popular Skooby and Skrappy brand she was tagging a while back because they’re mean boolies to Myranda. This includes reposting as part of a giveaway or if you have ever talked about them in the past and she might see this while scrolling your grid. From what I can tell their crime was participating in the blacklist communities and pointing out all the ways Jessa is not fit to work.
Gib, so another insane egotistical liar can teach me how to pretend my dog detects migraines.
Her family is so unsupportive of her choices, like being a service dog munchie with shitty ex-boyfriends and a child she doesn’t spend any time with, who now lives with a man twice her age who wants to adopt her. Please, someone explain to me how asexuality is not just unprocessed trauma or fear of intimacy, but now with special queer status? Because “I’m asexual and I found this out from being sexually abused” is super common and like all of them end up finding someone they want to bone eventually. Including this one.
Well iffin it isn’t one reason Jessa keeps getting “attacked for no reason.” The dog is an obnoxious shitstarter at the dog bark and gets got by an old dog. This time she’s just ‘learning manners’ instead of this being a serious setback to her training.
Fascinating backstory.
Lol florida SD munchies don’t want her there. “Retard” is not a slur against mental illness. It’s a factual statement that some people are retards, whether by biological means or choice.
Every minor inconvenience destroys this woman’s life. She’s sobbing because the candy she wants isn’t in stock and it reminds her that her great-grandparents are dead.
Fucking around with the dog, it starts baying loud as hell. This is clearly a trained behavior and not a coonhound thinking she can finally cut loose and be a dog. STOP BOOLYING
Jessa’s body language is not relaxed. She’s leaning away from the other dogs even though her legs are facing the opposite direction (like, if she was just rolling over or adjusting herself, she’d be leaning
towards them because her legs are facing away.)
Don’t worry. She got her candy. Now she doesn’t have to cry anymore.
Good thing she’s not scared of bullies anymore, my fellow bullies
Aww baby beluga with the service horse for plantar fasciitis and anxiety is getting dunked on by mean twatter people.
Skooby and Skrappy are BOOLIES and you need to trigger warning her! She shouldn’t have to give out details (because it would give away that they’re telling the truth)!
YOU DO NOT BODY SHAME MY FAT FRIEND OR QUESTION THE LEGITIMACY OF HER HORSE. SHE HAS A DOCTOR’S LETTER. THE HORSE JUMPS IN TO HELP WITH ABREA’S ANXIETY.
Oh gosh oh jeez, this is bringing back memories. I used to steal SD pics from irrelevant nobodies for my sock accounts to make them seem more legitimate. I’d find an inactive account or one with few followers/little engagement then steal a few pics and build my sock from it. Never got called out and people would invite me into places I had no business being in like private SD groups. I can’t promise that’s what this fella did but pro tip if you’re going to do this? Make sure the lack of engagement isn’t because the person has made themselves a total pariah by stirring shit all over the place.
Jessa’s taking her CGC over soon and Myranda is mad that she can’t use her prong. It’s the only kind that is unable to cause tracheal damage! Veterinarians would beg to differ. The real issue is Jessa is still reactive to other dogs and using the prong is the only way Myranda can even fake it.
Thank you for spelling it out for me so you can see for yourselves how minimal the requirements for CGC are and how any actual service dog should have been able to pass with flying colors on the first attempt. This is really basic shit.
Dog still isn’t alerting to shit. It’s bored. It needs more exercise and appropriate jobs for it to do like tracking. Instead she takes it to school with her where it behaves badly.
Getting involved in gear shop drama again. Why doesn’t anyone like meeee?
OOPS TURNS OUT THE BULLIES WERE RIGHT AND HER DOG IS AGGRESSIVE. I guess she failed her CGC once again because she can’t handle the “politely greet a strange dog” portion. She’s pulled from work over fears she’ll bite another dog even if she gets all the training in the world and this is making Myranda more anxious which is what she claims she needs the dog for in the first place. Don’t worry, she’ll get a new coonhound to fuck up!
