People identified with post traumatic stress disorder, panic disorder, depression and any brain

related disorders are vulnerable to attacks and may not be able to carry out normal functions,

even to the extent of taking medications that will help relieve symptoms. In such cases

doctors usually advise a trained service dog as an attendant to help mitigate disorders and

provide timely help.

Getting a trained dog specifically for the required task is not easy. You have to register and

await your turn while the dog is being trained in the specific tasks. Handlers can get to meet

the dog in training and start bonding as well as train themselves to issue commands that are

recognized and acted upon by dogs who will eventually become their companions. It takes

anything from six months to a year to train dogs properly to carry out specific tasks followed

by a period of bonding with the handlers so that both can orient themselves with each other

even as the training proceeds. Training is essential required the complex tasks a service

animal may have to carry out.

Dogs have proved wonderful, obedient, adaptive and constantly watchful of their handler’s

needs once they have completed training. Training may be carried out by the owner to be if

he is capable or left to an authorized training centre specializing in imparting training to

service dogs.

You can admire the sagacity and quick responsiveness of service animals when you consider

the tasks they are required to perform and for which they receive training such as:

Training to retrieve bags or pouches of medication from a desk or table, open a

cupboard door and retrieve medicine packs or locate medicine packs in the home and

then deliver it to the handler.

Training to carry a phone to their handler in the event they notice signs of stress

Training to open refrigerator door and extract water bottles and carry it to their master

to help them swallow tablets

Training to recognize symptoms and react by pulling their master to safety or alerting

the nearest person to take action or escort people to their owner and render help

Training to open doors

Training to push a button on a telephone that will dial any pre-programmed number.

Training to recognize hand signals and respond suitably

Training to help owners climb stairs, navigate streets and to brace themselves against

their owners to provide support

In case of people with impaired locomotion facilities large service dogs are trained to

prevent falls or help them walk.

Alert owners when smoke alarm sounds or dial an emergency number

Persistently push handlers at specified intervals to take prescribed dosage of

medication

Deliver a card to someone when a speech impaired owner makes the appropriate

gestures

Turn on lights, fetch TV remote or mobile phone or initiate a game to divert owners

who may exhibit signs of distress and thus provide a calming effect

Put a dog in training and then he becomes a lifelong partner providing better assistance than

any human can ever deliver and he will never complain.
