Who this course is for
This course is for those with a diagnosed psychiatric disability who feel that a psychiatric service dog would be a good treatment option for them. Under the Americans with Disabilities Act, a service animal is defined as a dog that has been individually trained to do work or perform tasks for an individual with a diagnosed disability. The task(s) performed by the dog must be directly related to the person's disability. Whether you’re an experienced dog handler with previous training experience, or you’re new to having a canine companion, this course will help you train your dog to perform tasks that minimize your symptoms and help you live a more independent life.
