Title: Getting a service dog soon.
Post by: Leto729 on September 15, 2008, 09:13:29 PM
Looking at traveling to Las Vegas NV or putting the dog on a airplane. It might cheaper to put the dog on airplane cargo hold. Not yet sure which is the best way to get dog here to Rapid City SD.

To help with your Autsim? (if your autistic cause most people are at this joint)
I heard their are dogs specially for that. They can be trained to sense outbursts.

Bite you to give you something to really have a meltdown about? :zoinks:

I'd prefer it if there were biting the people who where stressing me out, that'd be cool to watch.  :green:

I wish my big dog would qualify but he's a little jumpy around people.  My dogs are one of the few things I want around when I am freaking out they have a very calming affect

It for My depression and seasonal affective disorder I have during the winter.

This should help depression and SAD quite a bit, Kevv!

I hope it works out well for you.

I don't understand how a service dog works for someone with depression and SAD, especially for someone with high functioning autism or AS. But I can understand how it works for an elderly, a blind person, a deaf person and someone who is in a wheel chair.

Any dog would be a beneficial companion to a depressed person.

A dog which has been trained to respect certain boundaries could be a very good friend for an autistic with depression.

Still, a human companion can be better. Or is Kevv using extended metaphor here? :P

I think a good dog would be more loyal and more importantly, more consistent than a human companion.

And I'm not even a dog person. Maybe I just haven't met the right dog for a person like me. I don't like dogs that lick, jump on you or put their paws on you in any fashion.

I believe the preferred nomenclature is woman, not dog!  :laugh:

The dog will help Me focus on the dogs needs as well as My needs.

It well help Me deal the the shorter days which makes depression worse than any other time of the year.

The companionship of the dog should help Me get through the SAD during the winter months.

It is a hope I will get out during the shorter day so that the SAD will not affect Me, as bad  as it has over the last few years that it has gotten worse over the last few years.

It should also help Me not want to drink (alcohol) as much here and there as much.

I think about it much more during the winter months as well.

How does getting a service dog work?

Do you just apply for one and you come and get it, do you get to pick a breed?

I heard they are free to get but then I heard they cost money to get. Which one is it?

My dog is free but for transportation.

I did not pick the breed.

They can come press their body into you just before you melt down, so you can pet them instead and calm yourself down.

If you have an autistic child who runs into traffic, you can leash the child's waist to an autism dog and the dog will block them from running into traffic with his body.

Sucks if the dog's not well trained though.

I have this image of it chasing a cat, with
the kid dragging behind.  :zoinks:


Kinda made my day.
