A "day‑in‑the‑life" / "follow‑along" or "behind‑the‑scenes" post—usually a short video—best shows viewers what it’s like to work with a service dog.

Quick options by platform
- Instagram/TikTok Reel or short TikTok: 30–90s follow‑along clips showing tasks and routines.
- Instagram Story (saved as a Highlight): bite‑size moments through the day.
- YouTube vlog: longer, more explanatory “a day with my service dog.”
- Carousel post: step‑by‑step photos with explanatory captions.
- Live Q&A: answer viewer questions while showing real‑time interactions.

What to include (brief checklist)
- Morning prep (gear, checks, cues).
- Typical tasks the dog performs (safely and respectfully shown).
- Public behavior and handling (entry, seating, cues).
- Training or rehearsal snippets (if appropriate).
- Brief handler commentary about communication and routine.
- End‑of‑day wind‑down and rewards.

Filming tips
- Use POV shots and closeups of equipment and cues for immersion.
- Keep clips short, varied, and captioned.
- Add subtitles and alt text for accessibility.
- Show consent: if another person appears, get permission.

Respect & safety notes
- Don’t disclose sensitive medical details about the handler.
- Avoid giving step‑by‑step instructions that could enable people to fake service dogs.
- Emphasize respect for working dogs (don’t pet or distract without permission).

A short “day‑in‑the‑life” reel with subtitles, a few key task demos, and a caption explaining boundaries and why the dog’s role matters typically performs very well.
