I would suggest asking people here like you are and look into dog training places online and get referrals from them and recommendations and see what they say about it and go from there about it, good luck with your outcome and finding it, my opinion

You would have to hire a professional service dog trainer or search for a service dog training camp that does training. Also I'm not sure how it works with a service dog training camp or a professional. I know at a service dog camp they give dogs to disabled they begin training of the dog extremely young it takes them about 2 yrs for full training. For you should be shorter if you have it done personally because they don't need to know all service dog skills just a certain number of the skills being rated by points. Some of those skills are higher in points than others. Such as the command "go pay" is higher in the points then the command stay they need to be licensed and much more. Those skills they can be trained are amazing!!! Such as you say "Do Your Business" the dog will go to the bathroom. Wish you luck ,Take Care! πŸ•β€πŸ¦ΊπŸ†πŸ₯³

I hear you. I’ve had seizures for over 30 years and had open heart surgery when I was 10 years old.
