I AM NOT SURE WHAT KIND OF DAY THIS WILL BE... I TRIED TO READ UP ON ADI'S TRAINING OF PTSD DOGS AND ALL I GOT WAS INFO ON UPRIGHT FREEZERS. GOTTA LOVE IT.
I DON'T. -- I HAVE A PERSON WHO EMAILED SHE IS AN RN WANTING TO GO FURTHER SPECIALIZING IN VETTS WITH PTSD.. AND WAS SO IMPRESSED WITH SCOTT AND DASH-- I TRIED TO GIVE HER THE LATEST FROM THAT ADI CONFERENCE ON PTSD--- MIND YOU... I THINK WE ARE DOING VERY WELL WITH OUR DOGS AND PARTNESHIPS.. I WAS FASCINATED BY WHAT ADI THINKS WE SHOULD BE DOING... SHEILA OBRIEN WAS DOING THE TALKING EVEN...-- ANYTHING I SAY FURTHER WILL GET ME IN TROUBLE,..... HOWEVER......
INSISTING WE HAVE A MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL ON THE GROUNDS TO DEAL WITH PTSD WOULD PUT US OUT OF BUSINESS. WE HAE A FEW PEOPLE HERE WHO HAVE DEALT WITH PTSD PERWONLLY AN D I WILL HAVE TO GO WITH THAT... THERE ARE SOME OF THE IDEAS OF ADI THAT TRY AND LEGISLATE COMMON SENSE- NOT GOING TO WORK..
I HAVE HAD A FEW TOO MANY CALLS ABOUT PEOPLE WHO CAN OT GET A SERVICE DOG FROM ADI MEMBERS WIHTOU PAYING MANY THOUSANDS $$$ AND WAITING MANY YEARS...
THERE ARE SOME OF THESE PEOPLE WH SOUND QUITE REASONABLE-- SO I AM MODIFYING MY ANSWERS TO BE ... IF YOU CAN GET YOUR DOG THRU THE ADI PUBLIC ACCESS TEST, THEN I WILL CERTIFY IT. (ADDING THAT I AM STRICT)
PROBLEM THERE IS I CAN'T REMEMBER MY PASSWORD TO GET INTO THE MEMBER SECTION OF ADI TO SEE EXACTLY WHAT THAT TEST IS...-- I REMEMBER TURNING LOOSE IN PUBLIC AND GETTING CONTROL AGAIN... AND HAVING SOMEONE STEP OVER THE DOG WHEN THEY ARE LYING DOWN...-- SEEMS TO ME ADI OUGHT TO MAKE THAT TEST PUBLIC... FOR FOOLS
LIKE ME WHO CAN'T RREMEMBER PASSWORDS...
I AM PRETTY SURE I CAN SIT IN A PUBLIC PLACE AND TELL WHICH DOG IS NOT A SERVICE DOG...... 4 ON THE FLOOR... 24"INCHES FROM OWNER, UNOBTRUSIVE... IT IS ONE OF THOSE CASES WHERE A NO IS ANO... BUT A YES IS A MAYBE... AND DON'T FORGET THOSE LITTLE YAPPY DOGS MAKE GREAT HEARING EAR DOGS....EVEN IF ONE OF OUR DOGS - A BALANCE AND HEARING TRAINED DANE DID MANAGE TO WAKE HER PARTNER AND ENTIRE APPARTMENT BUILDING IN PITTSBURG WHEN SHE DETECTED A FIRE...
IT WAS ONE OF THOSE TIMES WHEN THESE DANES HAVE TO BE ABLE TO THINK,,,,... IF THAT HAD BEEN YAPPY WANDA, THE ENTIRE BUILDING WOULD NEVER HAVE GOT TO SLEEP TO BEGIN WITH.
**
I DO HAVE TO TELL ABOUT THE WOMAN WHO CALLED-- PAM TOOK THE CALL... SHE WANTED A SERVICE DOG TO DETECTAN ONCOMING EPILEPTIC SEIURE---- IN HER CHILD... WHO HAD NOT BEEN BORN YET?????? THAT HAS TO BE A FIRST... LOOKING FOR A DOG TRAINED TO ANTICIPATE IS AN INVITATION TO NOT SO ETHICAL PEOPEL.. HOW DO YOU TRAIN TO ANTICIPATE???? HOW DO YOU PRACTICE? MANY DOGS WILL PICK IT UP IF YOU LEARN TO READ WHAT THEY ARE TELLING YOU--- BUT PAYING SOME ONE TO TRAIN FOR THAT IS IN MY OPINION .. MONEY LOST. MANY DOGS FROM THE DOG POUND WILL DO TI. OR YO CAN TRAIN WHAT TO DO WHEN A SEIZURE OCCURRS-- LIKE GO BITE A BUTTON TO CALL FOR HELP.. . BUT ANTICIPATE? NO...
****
THERE ARE ALOT OF CALLS FROM PEOPLE WHO WANT A DOG FOR ADHD KIDS.. ANOTHER THING WE DO NOT DO... I FEEL BADLY FOR THEM BUT WE HAVE TO STICK WITHIN OUR MISSION STATEMENT.

My sweet Pixie who has changed my life. I made a video though our year together which our anniversary is on 11/26/17. I can't believe that a year ago today I was finishing packing to for my life changing experience. I can never thank SDP enough and all the volunteers for all the hard work they do. I'm so blessed. I'm forever grateful❤️
