Anyone Have Recomendations On Where To Look For An Autism Service Dog In The MN Area?
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

I found one but kids have to be between 2-7 to get on a 2yr wait list. Jake is now 10 and doesn't qualify for their program. I am willing to travel some, but it would be difficult for Jake to go too far for too long. Any suggestions????

@A MyAutismTeam Member I have a lot of advice--be prepared to learn an insane amount, be exhausted, and have one of the most life changing experiences of your life. I actually blogged about each day of training if you want to take a look at what each day was like ( [[email: (Email address can only be seen by the question and answer creators)). Take casual clothes and be prepared for the weather. I could tell you a million things but why don't you tell me what questions you have and I'd be thrilled to answer them if I can!

We went to Ohio from MN to get our service dog; it was worth every mile. The agency we worked with (4 Paws for Ability).was and is awesome to work with.

Our wait is 6-9 months and we have no age restrictions. An Autism Service Dog changed my daughters life so dramatically that I founded Pawsitive Service Dog Solutions two years ago. We now train and place them for kids all over the USA to stop wandering, bolting, meltdowns and for gluten detection among other things. It is now my life's work because I know first hand what a life saver it is.
