Increasing numbers of people with mobility impairment choose to train their own service dogs. Demand is great and waiting lists are long with the Service Dog organizations. If this is your situation, please let me support your efforts.

Teaching a dog to stay with his person and to adjust his pace beside a walker or wheelchair is the beginning. But a service dog is required to be responsive, committed and attentive to his person. This is training for a profound relationship--not just assistance with tasks. I can help you build the mutual understanding, communication and trust you need.
