Anyone know how much it would be for a dog that helps with seizures? My old dog could detect them without training and she passed away a year ago. Iv been having a hard time with my seizure since then
Why would anyone pay? If you truly have a disability and have the medical history to prove it you can get a trained dog for free.
Because the waiting list is about 2 years or more
If a person has seizures or panic attacks, can they have their poodle be a service dog? Their doctor gave them that their dog be considered service dog. The dog is 2 years old, house trained, very affectionate… The person I know doesn,t go out without their dog for walks….do they need to register and have their dog trained?

Training is what makes their dog become a service dog. That includes task-based training for where the dog would master specific tasks (like alert the person of an upcoming seizure attack, or fetch medication) and a public access test where they must learn to stay focused on the handler’s need absolute any public setting. Once the dog has completed the training, it becomes a service dog. Registration is not required by law but gives some service dog owners additional comfort when confronted by others.

Does anyone know if it’s okay if I myself can train my own dog? I know what I want to train him but will he still be considered a service dog if he doesn’t get professional training?
I myself don’t have the money to get him trained by a professional and it’s stressful because I have severe Anxiety and depression along with other things and he already knows what to do to help me.
He’s a 9 month old black lab mix and for his age he’s very smart and catches on to things very fast. He’s very good around people and he loves children and the elderly. He’s got an amazing personality to him and I just feel like he’d be an amazing dog to train to become a service dog. Unfortunately, like I said, I don’t have the money to get him trained by a professional and I was wondering if he could still be a service dog if I trained him.
Absolutely, your dog can be trained by you, rather than be professionally trained. But keep in mind that a service dog has to be on best behavior, or the restaurant/store/etc. can legally ask you and your dog to leave. A very good starting point would be for you to get yours his/her Canine Good Citizen certification…learn more about that online. Also, google the Americans With Disabilities Act, as it applies to service dogs. There is a tremendous amount of WRONG info out there, being familiar with it will help answer a lot of questions for you. Best luck, Gail
Any help on paying for the training
You can train him yourself. There are no government regulations regarding service dogs. Any dog that is used by an individual with a disability can be called a service dog. The only requirement is that you actually have a disability and the dog is trained to do one task that assists you with your disability. No one is allowed to ask you what your disability is and no one is allowed to ask you to have the dog perform the task they are trained to do for you. There is no test required for the dog to pass and they do not need to have a tag, vest or anything else that shows they are a “service” dog. A lot of people take advantage of this lack of regulations and go around with their dogs to public places and claim that they are necessary for some type of hidden disability which is sad for people who really get benefit from an actual service dog because it makes everyone doubt that any dog is a real service dog. But anyway long story short, you can train your own dog, they do not need to be registered by any agency, facility, program, etc, they can be any breed of dog, and no one is allowed to question if it is an actual service dog or not.
You can owner Tran him just as long you know what the laws are
