Service dog training and certification prepare dogs to assist individuals with specific disabilities by performing tasks that enhance their independence and quality of life. Service dogs are trained to assist with various needs, such as guiding the visually impaired, alerting individuals with hearing loss, or helping those with mobility challenges by retrieving items or opening doors. The training focuses on teaching the dog to perform tasks related to their handler's disability while maintaining impeccable behavior in public settings. Certification ensures that the dog meets strict standards of reliability, calmness, and obedience.
