About Understanding Assistance Dogs by Jennifer Gravrok
ASSISTANCE DOGS are becoming an increasingly desired tool to mitigate the effects of various disabilities. Despite all the incredible benefits that social media touts, they are not the appropriate tool for everyone. People who get an assistance dog without fully understanding the journey ahead will have more serious challenges and potentially a strained relationship for the life of the dog. This book will help you:
• identify which trained skills an assistance dog could provide to mitigate the effects of your disability
• determine whether you can form a mutually beneficial relationship with an assistance dog (I will walk you through the many factors to consider, including considerations for your ability to care for the dog, your lifestyle, your support system, home, work, school, other personal factors, etc.)
• decide—if it turns out that an assistance dog can assist your disability and you can form a mutually beneficial relationship—what method of getting and working with an assistance dog is best for you.
By reading this book you will be able to decide whether an assistance dog is the right tool to assist you to mitigate your disability. Also, what’s next in terms of finding an assistance dog and forming a viable, lasting working relationship if you decide the answer is yes.
