Hello .... I hadn't been by here since May and was only glad your letter hadn't been in my mailbox too long.

Your question is completely answered in my thread about choosing the correct ADULT dogs who would be the best to put into training of whatever kind, whatever kind of service needed. This includes seeing eye dogs, hearing assistance dogs, the strong sturdy ones who help you to stand or even prime psychiatric service dogs.

Here is the link - many posts, one after another, that cover a lot of university research done on this very subject - http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/thread10385.html

I would like to see this thread made a sticky, even tho new visitors have continued to add posts that bump it up to the top again.
