@@greyo3574 I've got an asthma alert working line GSD. They are a tool whose effectiveness is based on the effort that you've put in; so be ready for that type of partnership. A huge part of their mannerisms are genetic as well, so be aware of that. YMMV for a non-specialized purebred, mixed or rescue. Make sure to work with the breeder and/or trainer.
@@MrSandman12345 I find that odd. With an FEV1 of 51% I have never 'passed out' from an acute asthma attack. Stopped breathing in my sleep? Sure. Never lost consciousness while awake. Furthermore my asthma is VERY severe. Like 10% worst cases evaluated by Johns Hopkins. There is even a NEJM article on me. Additionally during the 'good' period of my life where I was able to work for 14 years as a medic, not a single patient 'passed out' from an asthma attack I responded to. This does not mean I'm calling you a liar. I'm simply finding it odd, and wondering if the issue does not lay elsewhere. Syncope due to blood pressure issues perhaps? You should speak to your doctor about that, because it's really, really odd. Also keep in mind that the service dog, being a tool, is only capable of so much. Bringing your medicine. Alerting others. Calming your anxiety. Those are examples of jobs the dog can do. It cannot breathe for you. It cannot make your lungs stronger. It cannot teach you how to overcome paradoxical breathing. It cannot teach you how to control your breaths. The animal has limitations, despite how wonderful it is.
I'd like to add that a less expensive option (these dogs are in the thousands of dollars untrained and tens of thousands trained) will absolutely improve your daily life is to invest in an activity which promotes lung volume and breath control: --Swimming. --Musical instrument such as a woodwind or brass. --Martial arts. Especially martial arts. Meditative breathing has helped me control so many asthma attacks. --Laying a few books on your stomach (so you know they're there, not so there is a heavy weight) and practicing breathing stomach first...as asthmatics tend to breathe chest first.
I have 2 dogs who are EMS-PTSD tasking trained at home and 4 cats one of which has been able to task train because of cats breed. Both dogs are old. And I need an Service Dog to help me outside of the home and during night terrors for PTSD also my Asthma Attacks. However as soon as I say I have 2 dogs and 4 cats, regardless if there are 3 who after 3+ years are trained enough to help me at home none can outside of the house and are not going to disrupt the Service Dog. Regardless of my Psychologist and Doctors saying they pose no problem to have a Service Dog, many facilities use my having 2 elderly dogs at home as an excuse to refuse me as a candidate. Or tell me get rid of our rescues adopted senior dogs if I want their service dog. What unethical dehumanizing and destructive assumptions that a dog at home they know nothing about. Yet my EMDR and Pschologists evaluated them and deemed they wouldn't be an issue if I got a Service Dog. Still 5 facilities said no because I have other pets. I'm not only hurt, but disgusted and appalled they'd play me for $$$$ to get my application and medical review along with online chat just to interrogate and say no because I had 2 senior pets. Not only that they didn't care about observation proof that my dogs would be okay if I had a Service Dog. So why this discrimination if you have proof and a good size home with backyard so plenty of space. I'm about to give up despite the support from everyone around me. Sure the 1st part was raised through fundraising, but what's the point if no facility will take me over my having pets at my house, and we refuse to give up or surrender our beloved pets like that.
There's places that you can look up on Google or Safari to see where they sell them or there's nonprofit organizations that will help you get a service dog for free

Yes you can
@@MariahDedeauxwhere?
