  Roseann N. asked:

  What is the best way to find a service dog in a specific area? This is a veteran whose psychiatrist wants him to get a dog? We are in Southern CA - where do I start?

  

  ECAD, D. replied:

  Hi Roseann! I would suggest looking on Assistance Dogs International's website. You will be able to narrow down SD organizations by geographic areas. http://www.assistancedogsinternational.org/

  Michael S. asked:

  I was wondering if you guys could possibly send me any information on the type of training I need to give my dog to make her a registered service animal? I have been trying to get help through the VA(joke), and there isn't anyone around me that trains animals for PTSD. I really need some help

  

  K9s W. replied:

  Hi Michael, have you contacted Assistance Dogs International? They are a great resource for all types of assistance dogs and may help you locate a trainer. Their website is www.assistancedogsinternational.org

  Patricia R. asked:

  I am looking for a therapy animal for my daughter who has crohns and Gastroparesis [stomach paralizes] and also she is bi-polar. Im not for sure what type of animal would be best for her. Any help would be appriceated. Thank you and God Bless!!

  

  Pet P. replied:

  Hi Patricia, thanks for reaching out. Pet Partners registers handlers and their pets to visit facilities to preform animal assisted therapy. It sounds like what your daughter needs is a service animal. If this is the case, our best resource is ADI; www.assistancedogsinternational.org. Another good resource would be reaching out to dog trainers in your community who may know someone who is service animal certified to train dogs for your daughters specific needs. Please let us know if you have further questions!

  Dogtec asked:

  Help! Does anybody train Diabetic Alert Dogs (DADs)? A 4-year-old girl in my daughter's preschool was just diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes and I'd like to give the family some resources for finding a DAD. They know it may be a few years before their daughter is ready for a dog, but I'd like to connect them with an R+ service dog trainer or organization so they the info. when they're ready. It's a sweet family and there's a bonus - her dad is a veterinarian. I've done some internet research but would like to give a more personal recommendation if possible. If you've got a recommendation or a resource, please share.

  

  Beth F. replied:

  Not all diabetic alert dog programs are created equal. Some are charging huge amounts of money for "scent imprinted" puppies that are no where near ready to be service dogs. I would recommend starting at the Assistance Dogs International website ( http://www.assistancedogsinternational.org/ ) They only deal with accredited organizations and have a data base that is searchable by what kind of serviced dog you are looking for and the geographical area.

  Alicia G. asked:

  Do you know of a service like yours closer to Indiana? The local one does not work with rescues, typically they just have lab/golden mixes.

  

  Freedom D. replied:

  Alicia, Thanks for getting in touch. Indeed, an overwhelming number of assistance dog organizations select goldens and/or labs for their programs. I recommend the website www.assistancedogsinternational.org to look for programs closer to you. With all that said, it is important to note that there is only a very small handful of organizations (>5 or so) that utilize rescue dogs for service work. Organizations can also be picky about who they serve (e.g. veterans-only organization, etc.). With all that in mind, I wish you the best of luck in your search!

  Stephanie O. asked:

  I'm in need of some advice and / or help. I'm trying to get a therapy companion for my 2 yr old daughter. I'm hopefully getting a doctors note for it. I'm looking for a mellow younger dog. Do you have any advice or places I should look? Or could you all help with training the dog?

  

  Therapy I. replied:

  Hi Stephanie, Therapy Dogs Inc. provides registration, support, and insurance for members who are involved in volunteer animal assisted activities. We are not Assistance dogs nor do we train dogs in this manner. Depending on the needs of your daughter, you might check with Assistance Dogs International http://www.assistancedogsinternational.org/. Check with local vets, breeders, rescues and local shelters for programs in your area.
