Dog Health Questions: I want to train a service dog! Please help!?

Hi! I really want yo train a service dog, but a few problems...
1) My parents don't want me to
2) They don't like dogs in the house
3) They don't want to take a dog everywhere
4) Worried I won't 'Stick to It'

I've already said it would look good on a college application, teach me responsability, and other reason's like that, but they won't budge! This has be my life long dream, and I want to start ASAP! I've thought of maybe rescuing a dog (Yeah, they are actually considering letting me do that) saying I'm going to adopt it out again (because I would get it from a kill animal shelter), then really train it and contact a service dog training facility. I've thought of doing that, but, wouldn't that be lying? Please help!

Understanding Dog Training Schools

Recommended Answer:
Although legally anybody may train a service dog, it works better for the professional trainers to train specially bred dogs. Many physical problems such as bad hips, bloat, allergies, etc. can be minimized by careful breeding. Yuu could end up with a dog nobody wanted.

Go to www.iaadp.org and look for schools near you. Look at the web pages for schools nearer you. Also see if your parents will read some books, Through Otis' Eyes-Lessons from a Guide Dog Puppy, by Patricia Berlin Kennedy and Robert Christie and TWO Plus Four Equals One, buy Kathy Nimmer.

The Ten Best Dog Training Tips

• Well, it's your parents house, and you need to respect their decisions. They WOULD be paying for it's care, so it seems right to respect what they've said.
  The best I can suggest is to try and convince them, but it may take some time.


• Why don't you contact a service dog program about becoming a puppy raiser for the program? The chances of you being able to completely train a service dog appropriately are about slim to none. The chance of a disabled person going to a teenager for their service dog is even slimmer. It takes a great skills to train a service dog. Most dogs do not have the appropriate temperament, and while there have been shelter dogs that made good service dogs, the vast majority of them do not. Keep in mind that over 90% of all dogs that enter service dog training wash out and do not make it to work as a service dog. You will have a better chance of doing some real good by puppy raising.
  
  Whether or not you would have public access rights training a service dog depends on your state law. Those training service dogs are not protected under federal law. Many states do not grant access to trainers of service dogs.
