Basic Service Dog Info Service Dogs assist people with disabilities other than vision or hearing impairment. With special training these dogs can help mitigate many different types of disabilities. They can be trained to work with people who use power or manual wheelchairs, have balance issues, have various types of autism, need seizure alert or response, need to be alerted to other medical issues like low blood sugar, or have psychiatric disabilities. These specially trained dogs can help by retrieving objects that are out of their person’s reach, opening and closing doors, turning light switches off and on, barking to indicate that help is needed, finding another person and leading the person to the handler, assisting ambulatory persons to walk by providing balance and counterbalance, providing deep pressure, and many other individual tasks as needed by a person with a disability. Service Dogs are either rescued from animal shelters or bred in selective breeding programs and many times raised by volunteers or trainers prior to their formal training. Most Service Dogs are large breeds due to the requirements of the Public Access Test, and the tasks they need to preform for their handler. Service Dogs can be identified by either a jacket, backpack or harness. *IMPORTANT* In order to register a psychiatric service animal you will need a letter from a licensed therapist detailing the severity of your disability.
