    This is my Pit Bull/Lab mix, she's about to be a year old on Sept. 28th.
    I want to train her to be one of those dogs that you can take to the old folks homes and to hospitals to see sick kids. Someone said it's called a service dog? I'm not quit sure. Does anyone know if she's to old to be trained for that? Should I have started as a puppy? Although she is only a Pit Bull mix, I would love to help better the looks and thoughts of Pit Bulls in others eyes. I want to help change peoples minds, and this is the one thing I could think of besides raising her right. Which I am doing. She is a wonderful dog, she adores children as well as adults, shoot, she loves everyone :) Can I get some advice please?
    Thank you for reading. I appreciate it. :D​
