A few months ago, I had posted a thread asking about info of self training a service dog.
Thankfully that is no longer the case. My health has greatly improved thanks to dialysis. (Now in the process of being officially put on the kidney transplant list, yay!)
With my health improving, I am more mobile, though sometimes I still have trouble walking (mainly when I have an arthritis flare up or if my back is hurting)
I've been doing a lot of research on trying to figure out which breed (mix or not) would best suite my needs, but could use some help.
My typical week is.. Mon, Wed and Fri from 2pm-6pm I am at dialysis. The rest of the time I am home, I don't work because of my health. (hopefully that will change after I do get a transplant)
Some days I can walk more but typically its a 5-10 mins (I can rest a few then get back to walking again, so taking walks isn't a problem, as long as I rest when my back aches)
We live in a 1 bedroom apt, it's about 700 sqft, we also have a small porch that's fenced. No grass in it though, all concrete.
Across the street from the apt is a nice big park/field. I also live very close to a couple of dog parks.
Does anyone have any suggestions of what type of dog could work for me?
Note, in the apt I live in, size does not matter. Only thing we cannot have is what they consider aggressive breeds -_-
