How to Train a Service Dog "Every
dog-lover knows the internal struggle of seeing a service dog with a
“DO NOT PET” vest on. As hard as it is, it’s super important to know
that service dogs aren’t defined as pets, but as workers. And for some
people, they’re absolutely essential to everyday life. According
to the American with Disabilities Act (ADA), “service animals are
defined as dogs that are individually trained to do work or perform
tasks for people with disabilities.” They’re considered workers
protected under federal law." | https://yourdogadvisor.com/how-to-train-a-service-dog/ |
