Jerrod- Welcome to i-dog...and congrats on your new pup!! Very exciting indeed! [

If you don't get a lot of responce in this thread, try posting under the training section. There are lots of good suggestions that are sure to come your way. We have a lot of wonderful trainers on this forum.[

Also, it is good that you noted you have some paralysis because this will help others guide you on how to adapt the training. I am sorry to hear of your injury [&o], but I know this will make you no less of a fantastic dog owner. [

I am assuming that since you mentioned you are paralyzed that you have an SCI then?? (or maybe a traumatic brain injury?) If this is so, then if you feel comfortable doing so you may want to let others know what deficits you have (like a quad or a para...hand function....). I work with people with Spinal cord injuries and traumatic brain injuries so I understand the challanges, but others may not. The folks I work with are truly individuals who can do anything that they set their mind to, so training a dog will be a peice of cake! [

good luck to you with your new pup!
