WhenJuan was ten years old, his mother came to America to provide her family abetter life and Juan was placed in a military school in Colombia. In Juneof 1999, he came to America and in 2001 enlisted in the U.S. Army. Afterserving his first tour in Iraq in 2003-2004, where he suffered minorinjuries, he fulfilled his lifelong dream of becoming an American citizen.A dream only realized after he fought so bravely for this country.After tours of Ft.
Bragg, and in Alaska,Juan returned a second time to Iraq where he served another year at F.O.B.Courage. In 2006, Juan was only one month away from being deployed back tothe U.S. when an event occurred that would forever change his life. Thebase was closing and because they were short of personnel, Iraqis were giventhe job of transporting heavy eighteen wheel trucks carrying T-barriers tothe next base.
The Iraqis were known for stealing fuel. Juan saw the mengathered around one of the trucks and walked back to investigate. Just ashe reached the truck, the Iraqis began to run and the truck exploded into aball of fire. Juan was on fire too. With his shirt burned to him, he ranto the nearest grassy area and tried to roll the fire out. The flames weretoo strong for him as again he ran, this time to fellow soldiers screamingfor help.
The flames extinguished, he lay there for 20 to 30 minuteswaiting for a medical helicopter to take him to a hospital. Fullyconscious, he lay in pain the entire time until the medics administered theshot that brought welcome sleep.After four daysJuan awoke in BrookeArmy Medical Center in San Antonio, Texas.
He had no idea at the time howbadly he was injured. The doctors soon told him that he had sustained thirddegree burns over seventy three percent of his body. One hand had to beamputated, and he has since lost the other. His chest and neck were sobadly burned that he could not bend his neck.Flash forward to 2010, Juan stillresides at Brooke Army Medical Center. His ongoing therapy and rehab havebeen painful and difficult.
He has learned to use two prosthetic hands formany things, others cannot be managed. Juan’s greatest wish now is for adog that can assist him with dressing, picking up objects from the floor andrestoring some degree of independence when he is able to go home." Thereis nothing stronger than the heart of a volunteer" - Lt.
Col. James H.DoolittleThis is the quote I service dogs for sale in texas thought of when I had the opportunity to sit downwith Sergeant Major Brent Jurgerson. The heart of a volunteer…. Heis an imposing figure of a man, built as one would expect a soldier to be,but his physical presence pales in comparison to the character within.He was no stranger to war for he had been injured before while serving inBalad, Iraq. A bullet penetrated his mouth and lodged in his throat and formany, that would have been the end of their service.
Some people would havereturned home, recuperated, and gone on to lead normal civilian lives. Andthat would have been expected. But Sergeant Major Jurgerson had made apromise to the families of the men and women he led in Iraq that he wouldtake care of their loved ones.
Knowing he couldn't stay out of the actionand fulfill that promise, he volunteered to go back. And it wasduring his second tour, on January 26, 2005, while working Recon patrol inIraq, his world forever changed with an explosion and darkness.That attack left him an amputee, a disabled American veteran.
He will tellyou there are thousands upon thousands of men and women just like him andthat each and every one of them has a story to tell. He doesn't want to bethe focus of any article, no matter the reason, because he feels there arefar too many veterans from far too many wars that have never been heard.And he's right.
But his story, while service dogs for sale in texas may not be unique, is a direct linkto Houston. No, not Houston the city, but Houston the service dog given toBrent by Patriot PAWS Service Dogs in Rockwall, Texas.Sergeant Major Jurgerson had the opportunity to visit Gatesville, Texas totour the Lai• Our Services• Process• Cost• Funding Guidance• Service Dog Guidelines• Types of Assistance Dogs• Breeds For Those With Allergies• About Us• Background• CEO and Founder• Trainers• Our Locations• The Dogs• Available Assessed Dogs• How The Dogs Are Assessed• Blog• FAQ• Contact Us• New Client Request• Send Us Your Questions• Members• Log In• Register• Request Assistance FANTASTIC ASSESSED DOGS!Please if you wish more info on the below available assessed dogsThese amazing dogs are being fostered by OUTSTANDING rescue groups and individuals within the San Antonio Metro area unless otherwise noted(Updated: 15 SEP 2016)All the listed dogs below have been assessed for temperament and trainability.

For a person with panic disorder, PTSD and or depression, a psychiatric service dog is trained to make it possible for their person to regain their lives. Studies have shown that service dogs have a healing impact on people diagnosed with PTSD. Adopters have reported improved sleep, decreased startle responses and a decrease in the need for pain medication. In addition to being well-behaved and unobtrusive in public, a service dog must be able to perform three tasks to benefit their person.
Learn more about service dog tasks Characteristics and Skills of a Service Dog • sit• down• come• stay• wait at door• leave it• drop it• leash walking• polite human greetings• settle on a mat or in a crate• house and crate trained• controlled exit and load into a vehicle• controlled entry and exit into buildings In addition, the dogs must be able to work with visual and auditory distractions, as well as in the presence of other dogs.
To prepare for public access, the dogs are trained in a wide variety of buildings, including pet stores, lumber stores, offices, banks, retail stores and restaurants. Once a dog is matched with an adopter, the dog is trained three tasks that will specifically aid the adopter with their disability. The next step is to meet several dogs and to select the one best suited to meet your needs.
Once a dog is selected, the three specific tasks will be selected and the dog will begin learning those tasks. Once a dog has mastered the three tasks and is reliable in public, the dog will be ready to join you in your daily life. As part of the transition, the owner will be given lessons on dog care, dog training and how to transition the dog to the new home.
It is critical that the dog and owner work as a team out in public. A series of training sessions over 3 – 4 days will be required prior to certifying the dog and handler team. For 6 months, the new owner is contacted every month and then at the 12 month point and every year thereafter.
Refresher training will be provided when needed. Re-Certification and proof of veterinarian care is required yearly. The cost to train a service dog is $10,000 - $15,000 each. However, due to the generosity of our supporters, the maximum fee any adopter is asked to contribute is $4,500. For Travis and Williamson County Veterans, the fee is based on a sliding scale and could potentially be reduced to $500.
(We want our Veterans to 'have skin in the game', so our dogs are never free.) Facility and emotional support dogs are typically $2,500. We understand the need for quality Service Dogs and Service Dog Training. Our experience and commitment to training service dogs for those who need them is second to none.We are passionate about training service dogs to assist those in need. We offer professional service and affordable prices on our service dog training.At Highland Canine we offer a wide variety of service dogs for people with disabilities.
Our dogs have the capabilities to assist people with physical impairments to make day by day life more convenient as well to ensure the safety and well-being of children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders. Our service dogs are customized to meet our clients needs and our pricing is affordable.
We currently offer these service dogs for sale or can train your personal dog upon completion of our assistance dog evaluation. Service dogs can be taught to retrieve items, apply deep pressure, tracking and scent discrimination, turn on and off light switches, pull and walk beside wheel chairs, open and close doors, balance unsteady people, etc. These dogs will not only help children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders interact with other children as well as other adults, they can also ensure their daily safety.
Their trailing conditioning makes them an asset if this child is ever to wander off or disappear. Autism assistance dogs often times assist these children with sleeping better at night by reducing their risk of insomnia, interrupting repetitive behaviors, and accompanying them to school, doctor visits, and helping them with their daily interactions with others. The dog is a companion that will not only bring comfort to the child, but the dog gives the child something to bond to.

We encourage new clients looking for a Service Dog to choose dogs from local shelters and rescue groups that have been assessed for temperament and trainability by one of our many trainers.
By choosing shelter/rescue dogs, customers are able to dramatically reduce the cost of services, and save a dog that may have otherwise been euthanized. In addition, Service Dog Express is happy to work with a client’s own dog if it has the right temperament, because there already has been a bond established.Once a client chooses to work with our company, the client along with their dog, go through extensive training, beginning at the client’s home for an initial assessment, and then gradually moving the training into public forums.
All Service Dogs and their handlers will be trained up to Assistance Dogs International (ADI) Public Access standards, and will be taught to perform additional tasks specific to each individual client’s needs.Please visit to read about our associate trainers.
