Owner Trained Service Dogs is a group that can help you (a person with a disability), train a dog to help you in every day life. There are many tasks that dogs can be trained to perform that qualify the dogs as service dogs under federal law. Many programs that provide service dogs have long waiting lists, are out of state, or charge too much money. There are more owner trained service dogs in the United States than the service dogs from all of the programs combined. This group not only helps people with selecting dogs to train and the care and training of service dogs, we also help you to understand your legal rights and how to enforce those rights. By being a part of this group you can learn from others like you and you can share your knowledge with others. This group is not as new as the founding date shows. We split off of a different service dog group but the group owner has been running service dog groups since 1998.
