1 Answer

Answer :

It really depends on what you need the dog to do (i.e., what types of disabilities). Dogs have been trained to warn people with seizure disorders that they are going to have a seizure and to move to a safe place. Dogs can pick things up and bring things to people with mobility disorders, etc. Some dogs have been trained to stick like glue to autistic kids so they don’t wander. Not to mentioned guide dogs for the blind. It really depends on the specific tasks the dog will be asked to do.
