Thinking about titles "Service Dog" etc, etc...

On this journey I think about the titles "service dog" , "diabetic alert dog" and "superb dog". Is Frosty at this very moment all three of these? I would say yes and no. Since he is an adult dog and has that big dog inside a little dog... (guard attitude)sometimes, and I have only had him for a couple of months, he is not "service dog" in PUBLIC ready yet. I will take him to as many "dogs allowed" events at this time to get him use to many area's and situations. I do not want to mistakenly and prematurly give him that "service dog" title and give the "service dog" world a bad image or more struggles. There are times that people give people with "service dogs" such a hassle I do not want to add to that. So I plan to have Frosty fully trained before I go out into the public as a "service dog" I could take him out as a "service dog" because he is helping my son and a service to us in catching those BG's but I know for us and our dog personally he is not ready for that title. If your seeking to train your dog to be a service dog be sure to educate yourself, find support from those with experience and get some professional guidance. I do see Frosty as a "Diabetic Alert Dog" in training. He does alert me to high and low blood glucose levels from time to time. This is my greatest need is for him to alert me in my home especially in the middle of the night. Our dog from the shelter is already doing that already accomplishing his greatest purpose. A "superb dog" yep Frosty is that...everything rolled up into one. As he alerts me and looks after my son and learns obedience he IS Simply a Superb Dog :) All is a working progress as we learn and grow together.
