Hello, I am an active 30-year-old woman with pain disease (Musculoskeletal/nerve disabilities) living here in Sebastopol and I am hoping to connect with some folks who have experience training their own assistance dogs. I have been interested for quite some time in adopting a rescue and training it (And my landlords are on board!), But I would like to develop my experience more first.
At present I am volunteering with the Humane Society in their kennels. I would love to hear from you if you have assistance dog training experience, especially with a rescue dog. I am also interested in the possibility of being a "auntie" to a dog – – perhaps you have a dog that you have trained, or currently training, that could use someone to take him/her for occasional walks and to interact and play with so that I am able to get the hang of some of the training methods a bit more, And enjoy the company of, of course! . (I am open to dogs that are not formally assistance dogs) and if you hear of anyone looking to rehome A dog, please keep me in mind (under 20 pounds, possibly a much smaller).
Thank you, Maayan 707-479-0408 call or text [email protected]
