Hi Deborah,

If you’re looking for a service dog you might try contacting an organization like Canine Companions for Independence http://www.cci.org. There are many other service dog organizations across the nation that may help you as well. In Southern California a couple other organizations we’ve talked to are Canine Support Teams and Little Angels Service Dogs. Good luck with your search for a service dog!

Take care,
Colby

i am a post-polio survivor and i would like to get a german service dog for me.
my husband trained german shepherd dogs in u.s.a.f. john said the dogs are excellent dogs. and he even trained one for him and called him sarge. he flew sarge back to his home on a cargo plane.

In reply to Irene.

@Irene, I would recommend having a local dog trainer come to your house to evaluate your puppy. Take a look at this article: http://sybilleyates.hubpages.com/hub/How-do-you-deal-with-a-food-agressive-dog_. There are some suggestions that might help you with your 10 month old puppy. I hope that helps. Good luck with you pup!

In reply to Susi Archery. @Susi the best thing to do would be to get a local dog trainer to do an in home evaluation with you and your dog. We've also had some issues with our dogs digging up the garden in the past. What we've come to realize is this generally happens when we do not exercise our dogs enough. One way we've kept our dogs from jumping on people is to stand on their leash, have everyone ignore the dog. Once they calm down and sit we give them attention and praise.

Thank you so much,
