Service Dog training

A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭
Houston, TX

My question is, is there a place where I can get my dog trained for my son? We live in N. Houston, and my current employer provided me with a German shepherded/ husky mix that was born in July 10 of last year. I had basic training for my dog through petsmart and he did great! learned really fast, and I am currently looking for where I can have him trained for my son needs, but I have no idea where to start. If there is any help that can be provided it would be appreciated.

I believe there is a place in North Carolina that is willing to train family pets for people with Autism...sorry can't remember the name but you can google autism service dogs and family pet...Or contact local dog training/boarding places, some places offer intensive training that can be tailored to needs and will take your dog for a month or so, and then you attend classes to see how to up keep the behaviors...
