Dog training thread

I think to be legally considered a service dog the handler needs to have a disability that is a major challenge to their life and the dog has to have a task that helps and be well behaved. Technically that’s it.

Well sometimes I can get a little...over enthusiastic and come off as a know it all or rude so I just want to make sure.

Maybe to those that don’t know you

Blue thus is sorta random/completely unrelated but would you be concerned that willow has never had a heat cycle at 2 years 3 months old. She's 87.4 pounds btw and seemingly very healthy.

That does seem a little odd. What breed?

Great pyrenees

I check her often for signs Like swelling, discharge etc but nothing...

Well, she's a giant breed. Here's what I found (AI):

Many times a female dog will not have a proper heat cycle until they are about two years of age. This is especially true in many large or giant breeds; they do not reach sexual maturity until they are two years old.

So she might be coming of age any time now, probably about the time she reaches her adult weight. Keep an eye on her, she could surprise you any time!
