A lot to take in.
A dog to get to know.
Bringing home a service dog brings a lot to learn. Public outings, training setbacks, and planning for times you need help add to the pressure.
If these feel familiar, Kaitlyn talks through each one in the free video.
Another opinion.
One hard outing.
More doubt.
You question the progress you’ve made.
Public questions.
More than you want to share.
You need a calm way to speak up.
Kaitlyn started
with questions too.
A service dog starts a partnership. Building trust and learning to work together takes time.
Kaitlyn worked as a trainer for four years and has been a service dog handler since 2022. Her dogs are Sebastian and Nalu. She remembers searching for advice when she first started.
“I spent so much time on YouTube, watching videos and scrolling social media to find the things that I felt I needed to know.”

What you’ll learn
in the free video.
Five things Kaitlyn wants new handlers to know.
Build the bond before you rush the work.
Play. Spend time together. Give trust and communication room to grow before asking more of your dog.
One rough outing doesn’t undo your progress.
Kaitlyn talks about days which felt like a step backwards, and why slowing down helped. Leave room for those days in your own training.
Your people need a plan too.
When Kaitlyn’s partner receives a button alert, he knows to check the camera. Make sure everyone knows who will respond and what to do next.
Speak up without sharing your whole history.
Public questions don’t need a long explanation. Hear Kaitlyn’s approach to calm boundaries and asking for the support you need.
Plan for the days your dog needs rest.
Illness and rest days happen. Think through the other support available to you, so your plans account for your dog’s needs as well as your own.
A hard day adds
enough pressure.
You’ve put time into training. Then an outing goes badly and you start questioning everything.
In point two of the free video, Kaitlyn shares how she handles setbacks and why she gives herself room to slow down. Watch for a reminder of how to approach your next difficult day.

The button Kaitlyn mentions
in point three.
In the free video, Kaitlyn explains how her partner checks the camera after an iPupPee alert. Here’s how the button fits into their agreed support plan.
- 1
Your dog presses.
A trained button press starts the alert.
- 2
A contact gets the alert.
The connected contact needs to be available.
- 3
Check in. Follow the plan.
Camera and two-way audio help the contact check in.
Power A working connection Someone available to respond
iPupPee does not contact emergency services directly. Make sure your designated contacts know how to respond to an alert. No device needed to watch the free video.

Send me the free videoWho is the video for?
New service dog handlers, including people training their own dog. Kaitlyn shares five starting points from personal experience. This is an introduction, rather than a full training programme.
Will my dog learn a task from this video?
The video covers your partnership, setbacks, planning and public outings. Teaching a task takes practice and support suited to you and your dog. The separate paid course covers iPupPee setup and button training.
Does this replace a trainer or an emergency plan?
No. Kaitlyn shares personal experience. Your training and emergency arrangements still need support suited to your needs. The button example involves a contact who has agreed how to respond.
Do I need an iPupPee to watch?
No device or payment card needed. Enter your first name and email address. Watch on a phone, tablet or computer with internet access.
What happens after I sign up?
Receive an email with your free video link. Training tips and offers are a separate opt-in, with an unsubscribe link in each email. No paid subscription starts from signup.
Is there a cost or a commitment?
The 3-minute, 32-second video is free. Any paid training is a separate choice. Watch, take what feels useful and decide whether you want to go further.
