Getting Started
Thinking of adding a Service dog to your treatment plan? Here's what you need to do:
- Talk to your supports. Therapists, doctors, and family.
- Get familiar with your rights. Check out the government website for all your information. https://www.alberta.ca/service-dog-information.aspx
- Reach out to a qualified trainer to help with the search and screening of potential dogs.
- Make a list of pros and cons and needs for your dog to assist you. We arent breed specific but be aware that depending on your tasks needed, you will need a dog to fit those needs.
- Puppies take up to 2 years to be trained and young adults can take up to 1.5 years depending on foundational skills.
