I guess it wouldn't hurt for me to do some more research on service dogs. I don't plan on working with them,but do like to be educated. I didn't think that playing with other dogs in their 'down time' was a problem. I guess it can be though.

Jenene, do your dogs try to play with each other or is it not that important to them?Would it not be practical to teach the service animal to focus on a task you need them to do even if other dogs were in the home or does it have to do more with the maintanence of the other animals?
