I trained my own service, but?I recommend getting one that is professionally trained at least for your first dog. Training a dog is not easy esspecially for a mid-high quad.? You need to be able to care for all of the dogs needs (i.e. feed, walk, put on and take off harness and gear, and groom and bathe or take somewhere to get done).? To me, if you can't be independent with the dog, then there's really no point in getting one.? The only thing I get tired of doing sometimes is going to bed late and waking up early for walks.? In Texas you can get a dog free of charge http://www.servicedogs.org/ Luke c-5/6 incomplete, 7 1/2 yrs post PS? I'm living completely independent in the college dorms because of the help I get from my pup. -----Original Message----- From: Stacy Harim <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Sent: Fri, 21 Mar 2008 3:23 am Subject: [QUAD-L] getting a service dog. How did you all get your dogs?? I found one program but it takes 4 or 5 years and have to go stay in a hotel in Baltimor for a week for the training.? That is not possible for me but could really use a dog. ? Stacy Never miss a thing. Make Yahoo your homepage.
