When somebody asks me what services my dog can do I just smile and say "she can go to the bathroom on command, do you want to see? Usually they just walk away and laugh but I love to see the look on their faces... is that wrong??

He was wearing a red vest with patches saying “Service Dog in Training”. The manager asked me what kind of services my dog can do. My dog is a little Papillon. He said he got a complaint from a woman about me having a dog with me. A cashier who often sees us in the store and loves to pet my dog as we go through saw the manager talking to me and asked what he said. I told her and she told me he was legally not supposed to ask those questions. I just ordered a DVD on how to train dogs for disabled people. I want to teach him to pick up my typing pencil/cuff when I drop it. Anyone else try teaching a little dog? I don’t know the steps. He can jump onto my lap, but always drops it before he climbs up. How do I teach him? Do we just lift him up, then reward him? Or try and hold it to his mouth? Any tips welcomed… Greg ____________________________________ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!
