I’ve put together a fairly comprehensive list of tasks, broken usually into beginning, intermediate, and advanced training. It’s a word doc so you can download it for ideas, and add (or subtract) what your disability would require of a puppy.
This said, I am not terribly familiar with every disability need, such as training for PTSD or medical alerts, but hopefully I’ve got the basics at least!
Having become disabled in my 30's, I began a new and unexepected life journey, chronicled on a blog. The need for tenacity, maintaining a stubbornly positive outlook on life, and the determination to focus on what I can do, have been the most important lessons disability has taught me.
I decided that training my own Great Danes to be my assistance dogs was one way I could have a fuller, more independent life. The experience has taught me more about life, love, and respect than any other endeavor of my life. There has been amazing triumphs, and deep sorrows but I wouldn't trade one moment of it!
