Guest guest Posted September 20, 2006 Report Posted September 20, 2006 , I have never heard of a service dog for wandering children...how does that work? My Destiney also has a hard time keeping any type of jewerly on her as well...I have to continueally tell her " no " when she touches it and tries to remove it. Quote
Guest guest Posted September 20, 2006 Report Posted September 20, 2006 We're currently self-training a golden retriever to be Allie's service dog. One way we are training Lolly is to " herd " and bark at Allie if she gets too far from us. It's been somewhat frustrating for us, Lolly is great but Allie doesn't seem to care for her a lot. Lolly's only 6 mos so it's not a lost cause yet, but bonding seems to be the most difficult aspect. Dogs naturally want to be with the ones who care for and play with them the most. I'm trying to incorporate Allie into the training, but she bores easily with it. I've read that the dog barking can remind the kids, " Oh yeah, I can't leave without asking. " Of course even better, the dog's barking warns the caregivers to the child's trying to leave. Debi Quote
