Service Dogs and Time Commitments
In Six Feet to Independence, I cover the time commitment in having a service dog in training. Even simple actions like going to buy milk last longer. You’re agreeing to use time in your day for things like training, playing, feeding, grooming, and cleaning up accidents. As an adult, though, you’ve already got several things […]
