Dear Merril,
I beg to differ with you. I have a Service Dog. I happen to have CP and I
can take care of her just fine. Granted, it may not be the exact same way
everyone else does but it sure does get the job done. She is the best thing
that has happened to me.
I can let her outside to "HURRY UP" with out a leash and as long as I am with
in her line of site she will not get out of the yard. If she does happen to go
a little to far, that is when you use your voice control.

High quads, high MS, high CP, I have trained with amazing people who
received working dogs. How to hold a leash, to how to toilet and pick up the
poop in public is another. Everyone loves my dog but only a small percentage
can in reality of a usual day care for the dogs needs.
Even the best trained dogs must be on a leash. I see the best of dogs run
after a cat, or worse interfere with my dog. These precious animals are still
dogs and no amount of training can guarantee safety while off leash.

Eric,
Do you have any movement below your neck? I would love to have a dog, but I
really don't have a way to walk it when I am alone. Just curious.

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.
