Thread: Types of Service dogs

Hybrid View

  1. #1
    They have categories for every aspect of dog training. You probably didn't push the general index. They have a great site for service dogs and this is a very professional site.
    I did mention that they discussed almost every aspect of the dog. The breeding part is just for those that are interested.
    But they have a whole spot devoted to guide dogs, PSD dog's etc.
    You probably didn't go down to the bottom.

    I just have no clue what you are looking at. All you have to do is go to the top and punch in general index. I'll go back on to see what the heck you are looking at.

    Maybe try googling the other link, it might bring you more luck...it is entittled
    PSD Psychiatric dogs, so that definitely is part of the list.

    That is a GSD forum. That is not a Service dog website. Yes they have a section on Service Dogs but it is all about the GSD. The Service Dog Section of the forum is only a very small part of it. I have no idea is posting other forums is allowed on here but if you are looking for Service dog forums I am on many and can direct you or any one to the proper ones that are strickedly about Service dogs and not just about one type of breed. And I am a member of the forum Mike has posted.

    Just finished googling the site. I have no idea what you googled. Here are some of the things they do talk about:
    Genetics
    Bloodlines
    Breed Standard
    General Info,
    Schcuthund and should those dogs be used as service dogs
    Guide dogs, Service dogs, therapy dogs PSD dogs (which is why it is called PsychiatricService Dog Information) etc You can learn everthing you want to know about service dog laws, and anything you don't find they will answer .

    I just don't know what you googled, but that site has all the info on all the laws you could want re service dogs. It is a professional site, no fooling around. They are waiting for a decision on the Cave boy's dog right now.
    So you can include hearing aid dogs also.

    You are wrong. That site does not have all the awnsers on Service dogs and the laws. It is a forum about GSD's only and has one small section for service dogs with only a few threads. If you want Service dog forums that are only about Service dogs and the laws I am on many and know of many. I would never ever direct someone wanting to learn about Service dogs to a breed forum. They would not have all the answers because they are about the breed.

    I guess maybe i google things differently than you do? I went to www.google.com, and typed in what you said to search for (Our Community: P.S.D-Psychiatric Service Dog Information) and got 0 hits. I also got 0 hits for (P.S.D-Psychiatric Service Dog Information).

    Googling (P.S.D-Psychiatric Service Dog) got me lots of information to look through, but none of it about shepphards?

    What about dogs that make visits to patients in hospitals and nursing homes? Do those come up under therapy dogs? I've seen first hand what can happen when an elder in a nursing home and a dog get together.

    I have an acquaintance at church that is training a puppy for seeing-eye dog course work (I know that is no longer the correct name but for the life of me I can't think of what the exact title of the program is). This pup needs to go different places because he needs to be comfortable going with the person he is assisting, wherever that might be (home, school, supermarket, church, work, etc). She brings him to church almost every week. The only rule is that you ask before you pet (little kids, of course, are excepted and they are so darling with him!). The pup has only barked once in church and that was because he was frightened by a power wheelchair. Even older people smile when they see him. She brings him with his dog-in-training vest on so there's no question what is happening.
    Praying for peace in the Middle East, Ukraine, and around the world.

    I've been Boo'd ... right off the stage!

    Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!
    Brrrr, I've been Frosted! Thank you, Asiel and Pomtzu!


    "That's the power of kittens (and puppies too, of course): They can reduce us to quivering masses of Jell-O in about two seconds flat and make us like it. Good thing they don't have opposable thumbs or they'd surely have taken over the world by now." -- Paul Lukas

    "We consume our tomorrows fretting about our yesterdays." -- Persius, first century Roman poet

    Yup those are seperate and called Therapy dogs. That is awsome that your friend is doing that. Even better that the church is allowing it. In the law the church is one of the few places that can refuse a Service dog for any reason. It is up to them if they allow it. I am blessed that my church also allows Sheena to attend church with me

    Somebody either doesn't want to find it or is not paying attention. Go back to my first post and punch in the site I gave.
    The page opens to a Ger. Shep. in purple flowers
    IN THE BEIGE BAR ON THE TOP...PUNCH "DISCUSSION FORUMS"
    When the site opens, move down until you come to:
    GUIDE,THERAPY ,& SERVICE DOGS. PUNCH ON THAT TITLE.

    The page will open to PSD PSYCHIATRIC SERVICE DOG INFO
    THERAPY DOG INFO
    SERVICE DOG EMAIL LISTS
    EMOTIONAL SUPPORT ANIMALS ADA AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT
    STATE LAW LINKS FOR DSABILITIES ACT
    STATE LAWS LINKS FOR SERVICE ANIMALS
    IAADP

    If someone tells me they can't find this then you simply choose not to find it.
    Why keep asking to post links to prove something if it's ignored?
    Yes, it is a GSD site, probably because thewre are a lot of GSd's in training for that type of work.
    I went to my first post, punched in the link and there it was , so I can't be the only one who found it. Like I said...maybe you don't want to find it because it might prove real facts.

    Yup it is the last section of the forum. But like I said this forum is all about GSD's not about Service dogs. It has a small section about Service dogs but it is all about GSDs so if anyone wants to learn the full facts about Service dogs I would not send them to a breed forum. It does not have all the answers. It is very limited in it's info since it is only a breed forum.
