service doodle!

[juju]

hi everyone,
i'm 22 and i was in an accident two years ago that's left me paralyzed from the neck down. i live in the san Francisco bay area. i've been looking into service dogs but they are either extremely expensive or have a 2year+ waiting list. does anyone know of any facilities or anyone with a doodle who's reasonably trained for a reasonable price? i'm going back to school for first time after i got hurt and having a companion by my side would be so encouraging especially if he/she could pick things up for me.. please let me know if you have any ideas
thanks so much for your time!

Toby as well as another, Bogart are service dogs turn d therapy animals..

Some dogs just have a temperment more suitable for this kinda work..can t speak for Bogart..But, Toby is pretty easy going..

in general they re pretty easy going and easy to train..as for learning to pick up objects, it should nt prove to be very difficult..

the extent of your disability may keep you from participating in your dogs training..being diabled many services that do offer service animals require the individual go thru the training with as well..and to qualify for an animal you ll need to prove your capable of caring for them..ie, feeding, exercise,
and healthcare..though some agency s do offer medical care for their animals..

i do wish you luck in finding the doodle best suited for your needs..
