Would you ever be interested in making your dog a service dog? I was just wondering how many members if you were ever to become disabled would be interested in making their dog a service dog? |
yup i'm doing it! |
I guess it depends...On how bad I am in the situation...I know its confusing but I guess it would be a yes and a no. |
Im on SS dissability and after reading your posts regarding services dogs I thought that was an option. I thought Gucci can help me to pick up stuff from the floor because is hard for me to bend down and Im constantly in pain. I just dont know how to go about it. SO i use my service kids. In my household you will hear me calling my kids to help me pick up stuff. My son sometimes plays that he cant hear me. :rolleyes: |
It's actually very easy under the law if you have a disability to train yiur dog to assist you and I am willing to help anyone who needs help and I will do it free of charge and in complete privacy. |
My husband asked me just yesterday to check into that and that would mean I might get to keep more than just two of my puppies :D |
I have always wanted to get Magic and Sailor into one of those programs...but haven't really known where to start...and then I have to find the right timing...is there a certain age limit?? What kind of program is it where you can take your dog into Nursing Homes and Children's Hospitals and stuff like that?? Magic and Sailor are so good with kids and people and have a great personality that I thought this would be a great idea for them and a way to give back to the community...can anyone help with where to look up info on that??? |
In process of working on therapy certification. |
brownie would be great for that he already knows how to closes doors and draws and hw hand me thing very well but he would have to be just for the house cause hes so nasty he wouldnt do good out the house |
I have MS and I am going to train Tucker to be my service dog. I'll admit I'm not so disabled yet that I need him but this way he'll be ready if I do, and as a service dog I can take him with me wherever I go! |

The dogs that visit people in nursng homes and hospitals are "therapy dogs". This work does require very specialized training and I am not as familiar with those requirements as I am with service dogs. It wonderful and rewarding work for both the dog and the owner. They are not entitled to the same public access as service dogs but this not necessary since the owner of the therpy dog is usually not disabled. There are some dogs that are both service dogs and therapy dogs. |
I dont think so I think I might be to harsh on Pebbles |
oh that's right. a therapy dog/dogs is what I was referring too :p |

If we were in a situation that we had a professionally trained service dog in the house... Tino & Bunny would probably expect it to "service" them too! I can just see this poor little newbie coming into this house with these little divas... they'd probably have it fetching their toys and Nylabones for them! |
Just how easy is it to train a dog as a service dog? Can just any Joe Blow do it, or do the need a license and real training experience? Do you have to take special classes? |
