Most service dog agencies require you to spend two weeks at their facility to be trained with your new partner. There are independent dog trainers that will train a dog in your home. You would just have to check your area for a dog trainer and ask them if they do service training. Sterling Service Dogs in Sterling Heights Michigan offers individual training and do not require a two week stay away from your home.

One site which attempts to keep up-to-date on Service Dog laws is here:http://www.psychdog.org/lifestyle_statelaws.htmlI would suggest that you read the laws for yourself--to see what the state law really says. There are sites (and booklets), which purport to cover each states law--but sometimes, those sites and booklets, leave out important information which is stated in the law.Also, know that a Service Dog is a Service Dog is a Service Dog--it does NOT matter what your disability is--according to the ADA--A Service Animal is any animal individually trained to do work OR perform tasks for a person with a disability...
