 How to get service dog certification?
I am interested in starting the process of having Charlie designated as a service dog (for myself) - I have some health issues and from what I can find on the internet Charlie would qualify as long as I can get him trained/certified/get a letter from my doctor - my concern is that since Charlie is 2 1/2 is he too old to be " trained" ? The Internet seems very vague - there doesn't seem to be a test or any designations that Charlie would be required to pass. He is very well behaved, follows my commands, etc.....and most importantly, loves and adores me!! :-) I had a brain tumor removed 3 years ago and now suffer from balance and vertigo issues.....the vertigo issues are relatively new and from what I can find on the Internet there are some dogs that can alert people when the vertigo is about to start - this is where I question if Charlie can be taught to sense this for me....? In any case, I know my doctor will provide me with a medical letter - can anyone advise me on this?
Thanks,
