Does Anyone Have A Service Dog? If So How Much Does The Training Cost?
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

I'm wanting to get a service dog because Monday through Friday and sometimes weekends I'm home alone with my 10 month old nephew. Just wanting one just in case I have anymore while watching him that way I'm more comforted when I'm about to have one. That way I don't freak out which in turns freaks the baby out.

I do we trained him ourselves and registered him through the United States Service Dog Registry.
