Ok, I will admit I did not read the whole post yet, I will, just pressed for time this second (family meeting). But it is Boo with the service dog but I am pretty sure it is for the physical limitations from the attack she endured. A beautiful Dobie. It is in the trauma diary and so is the pic...

That just sounds amazing and I could see if they were "official" so you could take them in a resteraunt or store would be majorly benificial! I think that would be of major service as I am as a result extremely agoraphobic and it is so painful to to function outside my home. I have 4 dogs. 3 Great Pyrenees, 2 for livestock guarding, one retired, and a black and tan mutt that had mange and a staph infection from a free puppy box. I was suckered by the kids as I would not get out of the truck but they brought the poor thing to me and I had to help it. She is my best friend now and very protective home-wise and socialized in parks with kids at the park during her training to behave outside the home.

But the reasons you stated sound amazing! Please share any training tips or link where we could read more about this. I would love to read up on it! Very interesting.
