A service dog is more than just a pet; it's a dedicated helper and companion to someone with a disability. The main purpose of a service dog is to perform tasks that its owner might find challenging due to their disability. This could be anything from helping someone who is blind navigate through the streets, to alerting someone with diabetes when their blood sugar levels are dangerously low, or even providing physical support to someone with mobility issues.

While there is no specific requirement for the number of hours a service dog must work, they should be capable of performing their trained tasks reliably and consistently when needed by their handler. The focus is on the quality of the training and the dog's ability to assist the person with a disability in their daily life. The primary criteria for a dog to be legally recognized as a service dog pertain to their training, behavior, and the tasks they are trained to perform, rather than the number of hours they work.
What will be learned
Key Foundations
- Task Training: A service dog must be trained to perform specific tasks that mitigate the effects of a disability for their handler. These tasks can vary widely depending on the handler's needs. The dog's ability to perform these tasks effectively is a critical factor.
- Behavior: A service dog must exhibit excellent behavior in public places. This includes being well-behaved, non-aggressive, and under the control of their handler. They should not pose a threat to others.
- Public Access: Service dogs are legally allowed to accompany their handlers in public places, such as restaurants, stores, public transportation, and other locations where pets are typically not permitted. They must remain well-behaved and focused on their tasks during these outings.
- Handler's Disability: The person with the disability must have a legitimate need for a service dog. The dog's tasks should be directly related to mitigating the effects of the handler's disability.
- Training Quality: The dog's training should be of a high standard and may be conducted by a professional trainer or through a recognized service dog organization.
