There are many factors to take into consideration before attempting service dog training. The following article will take a look at several of the main considerations one should ponder before choosing the right dog to meet their needs and service dog training.

1. Temperament of the Dog

It is very important before service dog training to determine the temperament of the dog. Not everyone knows how to successfully read a dog's temperament, so if you are unsure of the dog's temperament, you should seek advice from someone who can determine it with assurance before choosing the dog for service dog training. Depending on what purposes you will need your service dog will to provide will determine what temperament of dog you should select for service dog training. Another factor to take into consideration when deciding which temperament of dog to select for service dog training is the type of environments the dog will be exposed to, and how social the dog will be expected to be.

2. Your Compatibility With the Dog

Millions of dogs a year end up in local dog pounds because they are not compatible with their owners. It is best to do some research and determine what breed of dog will be most compatible with you before selecting one for service dog training. For example, if you are a quiet person, and like things to be quiet, you may not want to choose a breed of dog known to be extremely vocal for service dog training. On the other hand, if you will need for your service dog to be vocal, you may not want to choose a breed of dog, for service dog training, who tend to be a quiet breed.

3. Health of the Dog

When choosing a dog for service dog training, the health of the dog is vital. It is a good practice to have the dog's hips and elbows x-rayed, to ensure their proper formation. The dog's eyes should also be tested before service dog training, to ensure his sight. It is also good to have the dog's thyroid tested, and watch for seizures in the dog. Remember, an unhealthy dog is not likely to work at his highest potential during service dog training. Discomfort in the dog will sometimes lead to abnormal behavior in the dog.

There are many other factors you should take into consideration before choosing a dog for service dog training, but this will be a good start. Researching, and doing your homework is very important in choosing the dog that will be right for you.

How to stop constant barking of the dog of my "Not-so-Friendly" Neighbor
By: Smiley | 06-09-2008
My neighbor's dog barks constantly during the day and night (specially when the owners leave the dog outside the house when they go out). I don't think they are bothered by the noise caused by their dog because there are instances wherein they would have parties at their house and the dog would be barking at every guest and at any movement in and outside the house. Even when they are at home and the dog starts barking, they would not make him stop.  They are not the friendliest neighbors (there were instances they fought with some of my neighbors) and I believe that they don't really care if their dog is a nuisance to the neighbors or not. The sad thing is my parent's room is beside the spot where they keep their dog. My parents are elderly and are just being patient about the whole thing. Like they told me, talking to the neighbors about their dog might just cause problems for us (they are a very "big" family living in one house vs. only 3 of us - two of which are elderly). Since talking to them (or even involving the police) is not an option for us, can you recommend a very good outdoor device that I can use to control my neighbor dog's barking? I am very desperate and am close to confronting them. I am just worried about the harm they may cause towards us. Please help! PS:  I tried calling the local Animal Control Dept. but they were not very responsive.  They even told me that their team "was on its way" then hanged up on me without even getting my address.  The guy who took my call doesn't even seem interested in my complaint.  I don't think they would be of help regarding my situation.
