[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Canine Companions for Independence is a great organization. But the adult remains the trainer/responsible person for the dog.[/quote] So does the adult go with the dog and child too? Otherwise who corrects/retrains the dog when it makes a mistake in handling a situation?[/quote] The adult is the handler. The dog does not go to school with the child. [/quote] Ahhh. This makes much more sense. "Independence" threw me off.[/quote] But then, why the dog? If the dog & child are never alone together, can't the parent do what the dog would be used for? (get the child an object, redirect the child, physically touch the child to distract them, etc?) I can see the case of the diabetic alert dog, as that's something a human physically cannot do, but that's got to be the minority.[/quote]
