These tasks are often needed for service dogs trained to help people with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and people with many other disabilities including Traumatic Brain Injuries and autism.
“This course is excellent, giving clear instructions to build four useful tasks from start to finish. I highly recommend this course to trainers wanting to expand their knowledge in the growing field of serving clients with PTSD.”
