I am Writing a book. I am going to be using a Service Dog, for a disabled person with no legs and possible hearing loss in my book but I am unsure how to portray the Dog, Do I make it sound like my own dog or does it need to know special commands?
I have never had a working dog so advice would be helpful.
Also equipment for working dogs or gadgets you use to help you.
 
A person in a wheelchair will train a service dog to pick up things off the floor, dropped items I know one guy who trained his dog for wheelchair mushing. Obviously the dog will have to alert person to door bell, fire, stuff he cannot hear. Yes to special commands. You need to talk to someone who trains service dogs. Casual internet advice will not be adequate.
 
'i have never had a working dog' should read 'I have never had a service dog' I just wanted to use it for a book I started. But I realized I do not know enough to be able to make a good story. I did some research and I am way out of my league. So I am still waiting for advice.
