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.
I think you are smart enough to realize there are several different ways to ask the same thing.

A person who can't perform daily tasks and needs help getting up and moving around is going to train a dog?
Does anyone see the blatant contradiction there?

You're right, I should have prefaced the question with "honey".
Honey, does your daughter know the first thing about training a service dog?
That sounds much better

yeah. she undoubtedly doesn't realize how much effort you have to put into it every day. i helped train helper dogs when i was in middle school. i think they let me because i was often on crutches and stuff so it was good for the dogs to be around that kind of thing.

I don't need to try either, it comes so naturally.
It's different with you. You are a joker and we know it.
I'm a very serious person!

lots of people train their own service dogs, because lots of diseases have periods of remission. I didn't think his post needed reply because it was retarded, as usual.

Can you back that up with professional peer reviewed publications? And since you know that, you'd think you'd know what type of breeds are used as service dogs, yet here you are asking on a fading video game website.

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.
Indeed. We have an extremely well-trained golden and he would have failed miserably as a service dog. Just because they're a certain breed doesn't mean every dog in that breed is cut out to be even a passable service dog. Hell he would have failed as a real retriever too because loud noises terrify him. Every fourth of July he's shivering under the bed or behind the couch while fireworks go off.
Perhaps I'm wrong, but I think you are vastly underestimating the time and effort involved in training a service dog, and overestimating your chances of successfully training one as a service dog. If it were that easy, service dogs would be much more plentiful and cost a lot less because it would simply be a matter of training and not have anything to do with the dog itself. Heck just training our golden to not spaz out with joyous abandon when someone came to visit us took more than two years, and I worked with him every day on it, repeatedly and consistently. He was very obedient and very willing, just very excitable and with the attention span of a flea. And I had no outside job to worry about, no health problems to worry about, and plenty of books, research, and dog trainers to help me.
Just...something to think about.
