What is a Service Dog?
A service dog is trained to assist a person with a disability. For a person with panic disorder, PTSD, anxiety and/or depressions, a service dog helps makes it possible for their person to regain their lives. For a person with a mobility challenge (using a cane, walker or wheelchair), the SD provides assistance with day-to-day tasks such as picking up items from the floor, opening and closing doors, drawers and cabinets, tugging off a sock, bringing the laundry basket, providing stability when doing up stairs and more. Medical alert dogs can let their person know a medical event is going to happen, generally long before the person themselves. Dogs are trained for diabetes, cardiac symtoms and other disorders.
In addition to being well-behanved and unobtrusive in public, a DS must be able to perform tasks to benefit their person.
How do I know if I am eligible for a service dog?
As per the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act), you are eligible fo an SD if your disorder limits one or more major daily life activities.
Why a professionally-trained Service Dog?
A professionally trained SD is going to be handled and trained by individuals with years of experience in both dog training and knowing the laws. We hold our SD to a higher-standard of training and execution because we know what it's like to struggle and we want a dog you can rely on when you really need them. Not only that, but you have a team behind you - if you have questions, if you run into an access issue or you're having problems with housing, we are here simply a phone call awway.
