Service dogs can be trained by their owners, or really anyone. There are services that offer service dogs, not so much training, you just get the whole dog, because it may be more difficult for a person with certain disabilities to train their own dog.
In most cases it is better for the owner to train their own dog, so that way the dog knows exactly what the owner needs from it. Service dog training can start at anytime in the dogs life, even an elderly dog can be a useful service animal. Most people wait until after their dog passes the “K9 Good Citizen Test”. None of these things are required with a service dog, just a good practice.
There is no certification tests, but there are some guidelines your dog must follow, such as not eating from the floors in public, sniffing or taking things off of shelves, you can be asked to leave a store, if your dog creates a disruption.
I think your post on people offering me ginger advice is hilarious! Mostly it was just a bunch of people putting words into my mouth…. “she wants to breed and train a whole litter of service dogs!!!” That doesn’t even sound like advice, just a judgment…
OK wait just a minute...go back to the FIRST 19 posts when you were "still here"...before you threatened to leave, because (from your post #20)
This is probably the worst forum I have ever joined, your not helpful, your just here to force your ideas on to others...
Nobody was hostile to you about anything. People were trying to help by giving advice (not force ideas), which you'd either totally ignore, or get snippy about because they weren't saying what you wanted to hear.
And then we got hit with this. Instead of trying to understand what people were trying to explain to you - you toss out a monetary figure, which really doesn't matter a whit to a quality breeder (another line from post #20):
When I'm paying 3000 dollars for a dog, I am allowed to be picky
And here is the SECOND time you insult all of the members who posted (also in post #20):
I have lists of breeders that would love to sell me a dog, FULL registration, but their dog just wasent what I wad looking for..
I think the clique around here is really quite high school at best, and now I am sorry I even joined this website!
And then, things calmed down again...with MORE people trying their darnedest to figure out what, exactly you want, and why there's such a problem finding it.
People tried to explain a breeder's rationale, gave suggestions about how to possibly work it out with a reputable breeder, etc. But that wasn't what you wanted either.
Then in YOUR post #45, Page 5...you got extremely hostile and insulting all over again. Waved bye and all...and even made sure to insult every member who posted here a THIRD time:
I am going to buy a FULL registration dog, and I am going to breed my dog, IF it passes all health temperment and service tests!! Of that you can be sure. I am also going to quit this crappy clique of a website!
So all you Peole that care so much about dogs, will have zero involvement with the future if my pup, way to go!!! You could have at least had some input... You can all keep your crappy little high school group. I will defer questions to more mature people that don't try to force what they believe onto others, only offer truly helpful advice!
Way to go! You ran off 3 new members in less then 24 hours (my husband and daughter were to join as well) maybe net time you can do it faster.
If anyone wants to contact me with useful information, my email address is
dollyboons@yahoo.com and I can be reached on Facebook with the same email address.
Wave!!
It took until post #48 for the membership to figure you were gone (since you said you were leaving), and started trying to figure out what the heck was going on and throwing out information, theories, etc. You weren't here anymore, remember? You started the thread, we just kept on with what we got out of it.
And then you came back. And said, along with a lot of other things, that the post about breeding service dogs wasn't advice, just judgment. Well...that was mine, and perhaps I misunderstood your posts, but you're right...it wasn't advice. You weren't here TO advise or get clarification from.
You had told us all off - twice - and said you hated the board and were leaving. You even asked how to delete your account.
People here were trying to explain why you weren't getting the results you wanted. Granted, the process isn't as easy as you thought it would be, but it's the way it is to protect the dogs, and the lines. It wasn't set up that way to personally frustrate or infuriate you.
We've all had to learn that yep, to get that special Newf that we always wanted, we have to pay our dues and build good relationships with quality breeders and members of the "Newf world". It takes most of us years...and to become a good and well respected breeder...decades.
