Has anyone ever trained their own service dog?

Dogs and swimming
Posted to: News & Entertainment
OK tell me folks - can a dog drown by overdoing it? How do you work on recall when they have a tendency to take off? What is your comfort zone with regard to how far away they get from you? Can a dog get lost swimming - perhaps going after prey? If your dog has a tendency to 'go for it' would...
