Guest guest Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 It does not cost a lot of money for a family to train a service dog and there is no reason for a family to pay $1000s (sometimes $20,000) for a service dog. Please check out Canine Companions for Independence which provides fully trained service dogs for special needs children. There is almost no cost for the dog (basically supplies to bring home) and the dog has over a year of training, is health checked and they will help with vet bills if needed. Or if you feel that you can train on your own with assistance, check out North Star Dogs and their book Golden Bridges. Please be very careful where you receive a service dog from and do your research. There are business out there taking advantage of parents with children with autism. They are providing dogs with very little training and unknown temperament. Parents have received dogs that don't like children, can't even heal on a leash, chase animals, bark, are aggressive and have one that I know of has even bit and scratched the children.
