Service Training my puppy?
I have been diagnosed with hypothyroidism and sometimes the symptoms (especially the chronic pain) keep me from doing everyday things. I have a mini Aussie that is 8 months and he is already great in basic training. He loves working, but long walks can’t always happen now due to my ailment. I am wondering if there is anyway he could be trained to be some kind of service dog to me. I don’t want to send him away, but I think if he could help me get things and help me around then he would still feel like he is working while actually being a great help to me. I think it would make us both happy. I am not knowledgeable enough to train him on my own so does anyone know who I could get to help with this? I am willing to hire someone to help with this training. Also I would like to know your opinions on whether you think this is a good idea or not. I just want to provide my working dog with a job and make sure he is happy also!
Yea everyone says hypothyroid is easy to treat, but when the doctor can’t find the right levels of meds for you the saga can go on forever. I’m currently working with a specialist to help me get back on track. As for telling someone that they shouldn’t be restricted by a condition is unnerving because everyone is different with different symptoms. Some days I am unable to move my shoulders, legs or be able to bend over. Also my feet and hands go numb making it hard to pick stuff up or even stand up. Sorry to rant but I’m tired of hearing how easy it is to deal with this when its not…
