Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. A psychiatric service dog is a specific type of service dog trained to assist their handler with a psychiatric disability, such as post-traumatic stress disorder or schizophrenia.Although assistance dogs classically help with physical disabilities, there are a wide range of psychiatric issues that an assistance dog may be able to help with as well.Like all assistance dogs, a psychiatric service dog is individually trained to do work or perform tasks particular to their handler''s disability.Generally, the majority of the dogs'' work is to provide environmental assessment, in such cases as paranoia or hallucinations, or "alerting" behaviors, such as interrupting repetitive or injurious behaviors or reminding the handler to take medication. The dogs may also be trained in physical tasks, such as retrieving objects, guiding the handler from stressful situations, or acting as a brace if the handler becomes dizzy.
