The First thing is easy.

Know more than the dog.

Not sure why she locked the thread, hope it wasn't because of me. I was just making friendly conversation



"Does your daughter know the first thing about training dogs?"


Sure you were.



It was an honest question. Most people don't know the first thing about training service animals.



Sure. And an insinuating question is also a friendly one. next.

Why won't anybody believe me when I say I wasn't trying to be a dick?

Maybe you weren't trying to be a dick. If not, you need to look at how you speak to people. You might find it's a little abrasive.

I don't need to try either, it comes so naturally.

Thanks Tessa, we've been throwing the idea of one of them around, my only real concern is getting a short hair dog. I don't want her service dog to require more effort to care for than what she gets from it. I know how yucky it is to have a medium sized dog blowing it's coat all over, a large dog would be even worse (and I can't even imagine how you deal with Wash's coat!)

It's different with you. You are a joker and we know it.

Goldens are typically what most people use for service dogs. Have to start training them from birth though, and the failure rate is really high.

I don't see how asking if she knows what she is doing is being a dick...

I certainly wouldn't know how to train a dog if I needed to...and I highly doubt most people do and can do it effectively...

labs and german shepherds are the breeds I've seen the most as service dogs...but just because you go buy yourself a puppy lab doesn't mean it's going to turn out as anything other than a well-trained dog.
