#sd handler

soooo I have a service dog and the following things have happening in just the past week:

I was denied access to 4 different places (which is illegal)

I've been barked at by kids at school (pretty normal atp..)

some kid tried to pick my dog up????

A substitute teacher tried to send me to the office

My bitch ass english teacher refused to let me take my dog outside during freetime to go potty (I took him out anyways because fuck that)

Some kid tried to kick my dog

A full grown adult threw a temper tantrum because I wouldn't let her pet him

A kid grabbed his guide handle

Clicks and gives cues to thin air???

Why do they have so many poo bags?

And treats??

Constantly marveling they dont get stopped in public

Like people dont stare

Its crazy

Anything remotely fuzzy = is that my dog!?

Anything vaguely the color of the dog =is that my dog!?

"I feel naked"

I have hands! Let me carry stuff!

When we were waiting for the doctor to come in, Sky situated himself so he could stare at the door. The doctor knocked softly before coming in and Sky gave her a low “woof” before deciding that I was safe and he didn’t have to go into full out barking! (side note: when we’re at home or a hotel or some equivalent he barks if anyone knocks just to alert me that there’s someone at the door so I don’t get scared.)

The doctor wanted me to sit on the examination table so I tied Sky to one of the chairs that was by the window but as soon as the doctor started to examine me, Sky pulled the chair so he could be right beside me and watch everything!

Then it was time to take some blood to run some tests and I’m terrible with needles (like I pass out almost every time). Sky watched the entire time and when he sensed I was getting nervous or feeling sick, he actually stood up and alerted the techs that I wasn’t feeling so well. One of the techs actually asked me if he would be okay with them slapping my hand to try to see the veins. I of course said yes and he was fine about it, he just had to watch them do it to make sure I didn’t get overly stressed. 

what do you guys (service dog handlers) feed as a reward treat to your SD? (obviously I'm not going to give my SD a treat every single time he does something because he might gain a treat dependency)

I'm thinking bits of freeze dried raw (like Stella & Chewy's or Sojos), but those treats make my other dog (a 13lb westie) throw up all the time, so I'm wary about having raw in the house with her. 

She loves Zuke's mini peanut butter, but I almost feel like those would be too small for my 70lb lab.

Basically what I'm looking for is a low calorie dog treat that is size appropriate for a 70lb lab.

I'm looking into Bocce's Bakery and Buddy Biscuits at the moment, but I wanna know what you all give as treats.
