Monthly Service Dog Information Hour

This foundational program provides a clear overview of service dog requirements and training processes. It covers the legal standards under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), explores diverse tasks such as medical alerts or mobility assistance, and explains the specific responsibilities of a handler. We examine the differences between owner-training and professional programs while highlighting how balanced training ensures reliability in public spaces. This course serves as a guide for anyone attending the Pink Paws monthly info sessions, held every second Saturday of the month, to ensure they understand the basics of service dog work and public access.
