Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Did you know service dogs do more than just help people who are visually impaired? In fact, service dogs can be trained to assist people with a wide range of medical needs, from PTSD to hearing problems to mobility issues. But how can they help and where exactly are they allowed to go? In an effort to answer these and many other questions, as well as clear away the misinformation regarding assistance animals, Handbook for Service Dogs tells you everything you need to know about what a service dog is, how to find one that suits your needs, what your dog is legally allowed to do, and how to care for your service dog so you can build a strong, lasting relationship. Grounded in research, this inspiring guide shares the personal experiences of the authors, Anne and Wayne Wicklund, and their hearing-assist dogs, Snow Prince and Snow Shadow, both of whom Wayne trained himself. Learn the importance of listening to your dog, discover crucial tips for traveling, and so much more-the more you know, the better prepared you will be to embark on the extraordinary adventure of partnering with a service dog.
