Service Dogs From Private Dog Training West Allis Wisconsin

By Margaret Hill


Americans with disabilities have a need, and most certainly the right to have a service animal trained just for them. These dogs are not simply pets in the traditional sense, and cannot be treated as such by the public. However, most canines can be trained by a licensed trainer with private dog training West Allis Wisconsin, a service provided by the government.

Trainers know that the needs of an individual owner vary, and they are knowledgeable on techniques for training dogs on a number of disciplines. For some, they need a canine to pick things up for them since they are unable to reach down from their chair. Some may need a pet to guide them safely through city streets or in a restaurant or store.

For people with hearing loss, such pets are a vital part of their daily lives. Veterans often suffer hearing loss due to bombs or severe brain injuries, and the VA will get them a service animal at no cost to them. When one cannot hear emergency sirens from fire trucks, ambulances, or police cars, then they are in danger every time they leave their homes.

Service animals in the public are required to wear a special jacket so they can be easily identified by the public. Many stores and restaurants do not allow pets in their establishment, but a service animal is allowed anywhere their owner needs to go. The jacket they wear identifies them so that their owner is not asked to leave in a moment of misunderstanding.

Not everyone is aware that service animals, including police dogs, are not supposed to be petted. This actually distracts a trained canine from the tasks that he or she is supposed to be providing their owner. While most service animals will not bite, it is important that people employed by retail businesses know the rules and boundaries in place for these dogs.

The Internet provided a place for some unscrupulous people to get a jacket for their pet similar to what is worn by service animals. This reflects a total lack of scruples on the part of the pet owner. They are themselves pretending to have a disability while also committing themselves to a charade as they pretend their pet is a specially trained animal.

So far no actual arrests have been made due to people parading their dogs around town as if they were service pets. However, laws are being passed in many jurisdictions in order to deal with this problem. At the end of the day, it simply shows a total lack of integrity to dress the animal up and pretend to be disabled in some way just to tote their dogs around town.

German Shepherds are often used as service dogs, and one can see them utilized very often by the police. Dobermans are another breed that is often trained to perform specific tasks, and this does not always mean that the doberman is likely to bite. However, there are as many different reasons a person might utilize these dogs, so not all of them are going to be those two breeds.
