I want to train our next dog to help when I am having migraines but had no clue how to go about it. This was a great help. Good recommendations that make sense. Everything broken down in steps. Now I just have to have the patience to remember slow is fast.

This is the "Bible" for disabled people training their own Service Dog; can't be without a copy for long. I've given away 3 of these; mostly I try to loan them.
