I will also consider this with my ADHD child.
My school friend had a family of 5 border collies when we were in school and I used to go to agility classes with her and she let me do the course with 1 of her dogs and I loved that and I completed the course first try with her dog.
Thanks for the advice and I will consider doing this.
He hasn't ever grown up with dogs or any animals so he cam do without one. I will also can his feelings into account
We are getting 6 foot fence panels anyway. I live on a quiet street but I do have a road right outside with a field directly opposite.
I also am a stay at home mum so I'm at home all the time so the dog will only be at home for 10 minutes while I pick up the kids from school.
My ADHD child...
Yeah I considered this. I have a 12 year old who's diabetic, a 9 year old who's ADHD and a 5 year old.
I was researching service dogs aswell just to see the requirements of those.
Oh of course. I'm always researching and seeing the requirements and how much training it needs before I get one.
I don't think I would buy one personally. I would likely adopt one from a rescue. Too many dogs need to find good homes so I would most likely get one from there.
Well I keep mentioning that I would like a dog every Christmas and birthday so hopefully something may happen.
Just moved into a new house last year so a dog would make a great addition to this family of five
