Service Dogs that Cat has trained can do the
following:
-
Pick things up
-
Assist opening closing doors
-
Turn lights off/on
-
Push/Pull manual chair
-
General Obedience (E.g. - Sit,
Stay, "Potty on command"... my dogs respond to casual
conversation commands which are comprised of approximately 30-50
commands)
How to get one?
Cat has placed one privately funded and
two organization funded. Depending on the number of commands and
availability of the individual receiving the dog, it can take from 4-8 months
and cost $12,000 - $20,000. (She places at most two a
year)
What breed?
I have two Australian Shepherds and a Akida/German
Shepherd. We have a Yellow Lab and a Rotweiler mix also. She is not
focused on one breed as the ideal service dog. It entirely depends on your
needs.
Hi Aaron,
I was wondering what all a service dog can do, and
how to get one. How much do youall sell them for, what breed are
they?
Thanks Silas

Gail, please call my wife. She is a trainer.
I have 4 service dogs at home that she trained. 2 of which are
"full-time" the other 2 are up for placement. Mine are "off-leash"
trained, meaning they stay with me all the time w/o a leash. I know she
has devised alternate means of leashing for quads w/ minimized
movement.

Also, if you need
help working with whomever you're trying to get your dog
through.
That's the most irrational reason for being
denied a service dog. Who denied it?

Subject: [QUAD-L] A few questions
I've been trying to get a service dog but was denied because I can't
hook the dog to my chair by myself. I was wondering if anyone has any
ideas of how the dog could hook itself to the wheelchair? I live
alone and would really love a dog for a companion.
Another question I have is has anyone gone from having a bowel program
to getting a colostomy done? Did you find it was it better -less time
consuming? Where you glad you did? I'm considering having it done and would
appreciate any input.
Thanks, Gail
