You're not ready for a service dog, yet, my friend.
But that's actually good news!
But that's actually good news!
Why? Because now you know where you're starting - and you know what you need to do to improve. And guess what? Taking this assessment and learning what you have to look deeper into is the first step.
The even better news is that there's a book that can help you with a sizable chunk of that research, saving you time, money, and heartache.
Six Feet to Independence is written as the book the author wishes she'd found when she was starting; the one that could've told her just how her life would change. The one that would tell her what she needed to work on and tweak before she got started. What could save her from pouring time and energy and money down the wrong path.
Six Feet to Independence is full of wisdom and insight from trainers, responsible breeders, handlers, and family members of handlers - all of whom answer the questions she didn't know to ask when starting.
You can find the book through the link below, or through the email that we just sent to your inbox. In that email, you'll also find a link to hop on a call with the author to ask questions and discover next steps. You'll also find a gift!
Nota bene: Be sure to check your spam folder!

Uh-oh!
The definition of a service dog, according to the ADA, is a dog that is individually trained to do work or perform tasks for people with disabilities.
If you don't have a disability, you can't have a service dog.
If you'd like to learn more, check out this book! It covers six areas most people (including first-time handlers) may not know about service dogs and goes into more detail about what they are, as well as what other working dogs are out there.
Check it out through the link, below!

WOW!!
Way to go! You must've studied a lot to know this much. (Do you have a service dog already? ;) )
What are your next steps? We'd suggest you start to build an emergency fund, find a reputable service dog trainer near you (if you haven't already), and connect with other service dog handlers that can encourage and support you on your journey.
We also suggest you get a copy or two of this book (click the link below to go directly to checkout) to help those around you better understand the journey you're about to start on. As the author points out in the book, a supportive rope team is important.
Six Feet to Independence is written as the book the author wishes she'd found when she was starting; the one that could've told her just how her life would change. The one she could hand to her family to show them the same; a book would be more impressive than her broken explanations. The book that could save her - and everyone around her - from pouring time and energy and money down the wrong path.

And! (Because more help is better than less, here,) the email we just sent you contains two links; one is the link to the book, and the other is a link to schedule a zoom call with the author to get any further questions answered. This link is good for the handler, family, or friends. (Limit: 3 calls per email sent out.)
Wishing you all the best with your continued adventure!
