I think it is wonderful you are self training your dog. ;D I also love how you and your dog have such a strong bond, that just by looking at him you know when he wants to socialize. The story about the boy and your dog at the fair is beautiful. Those little moments are special and makes a difference with those we reach out to. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, compliments and your amazing story! I wish you luck too! activedogs.com rock! Thank you for your kind words and compliment!

I think you should be so proud of what you are doing!! I am on my second service dog, and self training with the help of professional trainers, since he is still a pup and my other dogs were not. He has so much potential, and loves to work. I agree, for the children Labs and Retrievers are usually best, for me, German Shepherds are best. (I am old, and have mobility problems). My dog also will indicate to me if he wants to interact with anyone while we are in public, I then either allow it or not. Last Sept, when he was 15 months old, he was with me at a county Fair, and he noticed a child in a chair/stroller? that was waving his arms and head wildly. He "asked" me, and I caught the mom's eye. She nodded yes, and we approached from about 25 feet away. As we did, the boy stopped moving, head down, hands in his lap. My dog gently placed his head within reach, and the mom took her son's hand and stroked his head. She said isn't he soft Adam? and when the boy nodded yes, she cried! I was so glad I let my dog have his way!! Good luck with your sons, and their dogs, and I know you are doing a wonderful job.

We cannot know when a disabled person is showing signs their service dog is having to monitor and interrupting that moment could become problematic for the individual quickly. Thank you for reminding us. I agree.

I love my dogs and would hate to see them get sick or suffer because I did not wash their feet properly! Good common sense that we can easily forget while living our busy lives.

She shivers and looks miserable in the cold. So, Peppermint Patty wears an insulated dog coat and her service vest over the coat. Then, Patty is all snuggly and happy. Can anyone guess what I really use the "insulated dog mittens" for? I'll let you think about this. The insulated dog mittens/ boots are invaluable for another dog use rather than winter wear. Love your dog as much as you can. They deserve your love and respect! Suzy I have a short-coat service dog. She shivers and looks miserable in the cold.
