    I have been training dogs for 20 years. I train everything from basic to service. I have a service…read moredog of my own (6 years old) for my own medical condition. For my own service dogs, I like utilizing other trainers as I believe it's in the dogs best interest to train around others (dogs as well as people). I took my old man to a trainer in Des Moines and wanted one closer to home for my newest trainee. She was rescued from an abusive breeder but has an amazing ability to forgive and drive to learn. She was about 3 months old when I brought her to the trainer. She already knew basics, but this trainer didn't want her trained the way I had been. That was fine. I'm not opposed to learning new training methods! However, there are things I COMPLETELY disagreed with when it comes to training service dogs. First, it was told to the group that it's better to allow people to pet your service dog rather than require they respect the space and roles of the service dog because "you will get sued". Another "training method" was having someone else's service dog come to you when called. This is a terrible method as the dog should be trained to only respond to the handler, not anyone in an environment who may call for it. None of the other dogs were kennel trained. Every single dog would bark or otherwise freak out in a kennel. Meanwhile, my 3 month old was calm and well behaved in her kennel. Not to mention, we were encouraged to take our not trained service dogs places only service dogs are allowed. This is against federal law as only trained service dogs are allowed in service dog only locations. To top everything off, prior to me attending, the owner/trainer had told others of my medical diagnosis which is not only against my privacy but also a huge violation when it comes to service trainer confidentiality. And final straw for me was when the owner/trainer asked to hold my puppy. Service dogs , even puppies training to be service dogs, should never be held as they are medical devices.
