Service dog training involves teaching dogs specific tasks to assist individuals with disabilities. This training focuses on commands that help with daily activities, such as retrieving items, guiding visually impaired individuals, or alerting to medical conditions like seizures. The process typically includes basic obedience training followed by specialized skills tailored to the handler's needs. Professional trainers often use positive reinforcement techniques to encourage desired behaviors. Service dogs must also learn to remain calm in various environments, ensuring they can support their handlers effectively in public settings.
