Re: [QUAD-L] A few questions

[Liz]

I have a lab/cross mix from Canine Companions for Independence.  It cost 100$ for these extremely well trained dogs for the participant.  You do two weeks of training with the dog.  They have follow-ups etc as well. My dog picks things up, opens doors.  I work with kids and he's the best motivator!! ----- Original Message ----- From: Silas Shelburne To: Aaron Mann ; Liz ; Gail Steen ; quad-list@eskimo.com Sent: Friday, September 09, 2005 5:18 PM Subject: Re: [QUAD-L] A few questions 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 ----- Original Message ----- From: Aaron Mann To: Liz ; Gail Steen ; quad-list@eskimo.com Sent: Friday, September 09, 2005 10:43 AM Subject: RE: [QUAD-L] A few questions 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.   Cat Can Do Training Cat Mann 940.206.0016   Also, if you need help working with whomever you're trying to get your dog through.

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 __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
