This book covers everything you will need to know from selecting a dog for the type of
assistance you need, to training advanced obedience for public access, and life-changing
assistance tasks to help you with day-to-day life. Service Dog training varies greatly from
pet dog training with differences in potty training, controlled loading and unloading out of
vehicles and public transportation, training to stay under restaurant tables and under
chairs to stay out of aisle ways in public, and how to behave around people and other
dogs while working as a service dog in the public setting. Specialized tasks include
teaching your dog public access skills, assistance with crowd control, deep pressure
therapy, medical alert for panick/anxiety attacks or flashbacks, searching for lost items, going around corners in advance of you, bracing, checking your house for intruders, as well as advanced
service dog obedience. Service dog etiquette, management, and laws are discussed.
