Considering a Service Dog for My Disabilities

My father has One, For his PTSD. I recommend a Professional trained american Bully? They are great family dogs and Amazing to have around the house, But also can be trained to know where to go, and if they have there vest on they can be very Calm, Very good with Kids Too, So if you want a Friendly but Means Business I recommend a American bully (This is My opinion, you could get something else, get a Chihuahua, There very Ferocious lol)

@MJ17 I feel that’s same way since my parents aren’t very good at fully accepting the current reality. I would talk to your therapist or a friend about your fear of doctors to get just over that wall that’s preventing you from asking about a service dog

I always feel like I don’t deserve help or I’m faking it, even though there is so much evidence that my conditions are real. I also have really bad anxiety around doctors even though I see them all the time. I have a hard time asking or saying stuff to them. My dog is super good with people, but not great with other dogs so idk. I’m super attached to him and terrified to go to college without him next year

@MJ17 why are you scared to ask your doctor? Also there’s a temperament test you can perform with your pet dog to see if they would be a good fit

They take care of you, but you have to take care of them to and that can be extremely difficult. I qualify for a ESA, but I can't tell you how many animals I've had that I had to give back cause I couldn't properly take care of them due to my conditions.

I want one and think I qualify but I’m scared to ask my doctor. Also I have a good pet dog and would want it to be him but don’t know if that’s possuble

I have one! He’s a multi-purpose service dog

I think it is a wonderful thing for the unconditional love we all so desperately seek.

I wish I could take care of one.
