Service dog for cerebral palsy story

Elite Family Companion, Service Dog Program

I am a single parent to my young daughter, and I have cerebral palsy. I am mobile, but I have extreme difficulty with balance. At the time of first purchasing Sandy I did not need a service dog. However, I needed a very well-trained dog. I had searched every possible website involving trained dogs. The moment I found Rolling Meadows, I knew it was different from the rest. I knew I had found something special.

Barbara spent a remarkable amount of time on the phone with me so that she could have a very clear picture of my situation. Matching the right dog to the right family is the key ingredient to this process. If you are willing to wait for the right dog, you will not be disappointed!

I have been extremely pleased with Sandy. She waits at every doorway for me to safely walk through first. She remains on her place bed, never getting off of it while I am cooking so that I will not trip over her. She NEVER jumps up or compromises my balance in any way. She does not bother any of my daughter’s toys. She does not chew or destroy anything on the floor. She has never had an accident in the house. I was surprised by how well the commands transferred to me. The dogs are not trained to only respond to one person. Sandy even responds to my seven-year-old daughter commanding her.

A year and a half after initially purchasing Sandy, I sent her back to their facility for more training as a mobility service dog. Two months later, Sandy was re-delivered to me as a service dog to help me with my mobility issues. Now, I have an excellent companion in our home and an invaluable service dog outside of our home to help my balance and general mobility.

Seven months ago, I purchased my second dog from Rolling Meadows. This time, I was looking for a small dog that would be a companion for my young daughter. Once again, Barbara was able to find the perfect dog for us. Not only do the two dogs get along perfectly, but she has also proven to be an invaluable part of our family. I am so pleased with the services provided by this company.

You may say to yourself, this sounds too good to be true. My experience really has been as pleasant and enjoyable as promised. I would not hesitate to recommend Rolling Meadows to anyone searching for a fully-trained dog.
