Four Legged Friends Offer the Best Support

Every dog adds value and comfort to its owner's life, but service dogs take it a step (or many!) further by offering life-changing support for both physical and cognitive disabilities. Service dogs are highly specialized in their training and learn techniques that empower owners to move about the world with greater ease and confidence.

The ten lessons in this course cover:

  • Misconceptions around service dogs and how they differ from therapy dogs and ESAs
  • The legal rights you have as an owner and related ethical considerations 
  • How mobility assistance dogs, guide dogs, hearing dogs, and psychiatric service dogs help owners maneuver the world with greater ease and confidence 
  • How medical alert dogs, diabetes alert dogs, and autism alert dogs save lives and prevent dangerous health emergencies. 
  • How owners can best handle and care for their dog, including nutrition, wellness, grooming, and routine, in order to receive the best support in return
