Hi from Washington. What kind of dogs do you train for service dogs? I would love to learn how to do that. I had a lady buy
4 dobie pups from me for training. She lived way up in Canada.
Keep warm :lol:

There are service dog and guide dog programs all over the country. The program will help you learn what you need to know to train the dogs. Most programs use golden retrievers and labrador retrievers. I have one of each that are retired mothers of service dogs. I'm working with 13 month old Rocco, a tall, lanky yellow lab, and 4 month old Marnie, a chocolate lab. They're so much fun. One of the best things is taking the pup out to socialize. Rocco and I went to the library, the pharmacy, and the grocery store this afternoon. Someday, he'll catch on to the fact that he is not supposed to sniff the dog food (or anything else) because I am the one with the money so I get to decide what we take home. lol

Hi Pat and welcome :D I'm cold, too, but it's normal for me. My nephew just came back from Florida with his wife and 2 kids. They didn't even bother to go to Disneyworld because it was too cold :-(
I have 4 goldens and 1 lab. I love both breeds. You are lucky to be able to work with them.

I am choked up just reading about this! I admire you for your sacrifice of gving the dogs over where they are needed. Wow, I am not there! Anyway, wanted to welcome you to the forum from Missouri. We warmed up to 27 today, and it felt like a heat wave! We have been experienceing zero and single digits. Brrrrr.
