Guest guest Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 We are excited because today Jakob gets his service dog {which is still in training}! She is a sweet 2 1/2 year old full blooded Black Lab named Nestle. She has been trained to do simple commands and the rest of her training will be done by Jakob as she needs to be around him 24/7 in order for her to be trained appropreiately. I was wondering if any of you have thought about this? I have done a lot of research and found that it has help numerous children with Aspergers Syndrome. Jakob will also be teaching her Agility training as well. Just like on CBS news back in 2006 when an 11 year old Aspergers child trained his dog to do so. Its great for Speech Therapy. We will also be doing the Read to Rover Program. I will be blogging about he training and how everyone is doing. Please let me know your comments and thoughts! Hope everyone has a great day! 7 year old son DX Aspergers Syndrome, ADHD, and Anxiety Disorder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
