Autism Service Dog

A little over a year ago we got, Georgia to be a service dog for Douglas. We couldn't afford formal training for service dogs, so we decided to train her on our own. We are finally starting to see things come into place. She has suddenly become very eager to learn and is doing wonderful. She is able to open cabinet doors and we hope that soon she will be able to open much larger doors. Douglas has poor core muscle strength and I feel it will help him in situations where he is unable to open some thing. We also have started to teach her search and rescue. We play hide and seek with her and Douglas. Douglas thinks it is just a game, but Karl and I know that some day it could save one of our children's lives. I am very pro working dogs! They are a wonderful tool for children with Autism.
