Assistance dogs are specially trained dogs that provide support and assistance to individuals with disabilities or special needs. These dogs are trained to perform specific tasks that help their handlers with daily activities, mobility, and emotional support. Assistance dogs can be trained to assist individuals with physical disabilities, visual or hearing impairments, autism, PTSD, and other conditions. They play a crucial role in enhancing the independence, safety, and quality of life of their human companions. The training and support of assistance dogs require specialized knowledge and expertise in animal behavior, training techniques, and the specific needs of individuals with disabilities.
