Service dogs can increase independence by reducing
reliance
on other people
Is a Service Dog Right for Me?
An important question to ask yourself is
if you are prepared to be a responsible dog owner? These
animals are wonderful companions but they are still
large dogs that need to be let out to toilet; managed
for fleas; brushed to control shedding; and taken to the
veterinarian for routine health maintenance.
Additionally, training reinforcement is an ongoing
responsibility.
A service dog can help a person become
more independent - feeling happier and better about
their life. There is a lot to consider before making the
leap in that direction but, if you decide this path is
right for you, it can be life changing.
