I’m 21 yrs old and have an invisible disability. I have been considering a service dog for some time but am seriously looking around and doing some research to see if it’s the right fit for me. I have ptsd and chronic pain and I am hoping to have a service dog to help ground me and alert. Information I’ve been seeing online seems to be the same few things about starting the process of getting a service dog, but I feel like nothing has shown what life is ACTUALLY like and how much training I can do, if I need an sd trainer, how to make sure a dog can reliably and consistently alert, and generally other tips.

Can anyone tell me their experiences have been like? Any advice, resources, communities etc, would be greatly appreciated!
