Service Dogs - Dogs Training to Help the
Disabled

What is Service Dog?
  • Service Dog is a type of assistance dog
    specifically trained to help people who have
    disabilities including visual difficulties,
    hearing impairments, mental illness, seizures,
    diabetes, autism, and more.
  • 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.

what does it take to become a Service Dog?
Any dog can train to become a service dog, as
long as the dog has the desirable character
traits for one. These dogs need to have good
temperament (good manners sociable), be of good
health, have good physical structure, and they
need to be intelligent and easily
trainable. Most of the dogs selected begin their
training as puppies. For the first year, the dog
is raised by a dedicated volunteer foster family
who trains the dog in basic dog obedience and
socialization, using the guidelines provided by
the Service Dog Organization.

How Can help a Service Dogs to perform tasks of
Disabled Person

  • Retrieve things that drop or are hard to reach
  • Open close doors (including the one to the
    refrigerator)
  • Push elevator buttons
  • Turn light switches on off
  • Carry items in their mouths or backpacks

    from a wheelchair
