They carry out various tasks depending on their owner\u2019s (or handler\u2019s) needs. For example, if their handler is blind, they act like their eyes and guide them. If their handler is deaf, a service dog might alert them when they hear certain sounds.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You can tell a dog is a service dog because it usually wears a harness instead of a leash. Service dogs do not need to wear a vest or an ID tag to identify them, but many do to avoid confusion.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dogs get special training to work as service dogs. Their job is very important. That\u2019s why you have to practice proper service dog etiquette around them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>The Super Important Job of Service Dogs<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Different types of service dogs help out their handlers in different ways. Here are some examples.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Guide Dogs:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Guide dogs help handlers who are blind or have trouble seeing. They guide them around so they don\u2019t get injured and know where they are going.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Hearing Dogs:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Hearing dogs are used for people who are deaf or hard of hearing. They alert their handlers when they hear certain sounds, such as alarms, or when someone is approaching.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Psychiatric Dogs:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Sometimes, people have mental health issues that make it difficult for them to adjust to society. Service dogs calm these handlers down and can guide them away from things that make them anxious.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Mobility Assistance Dogs:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> People with injuries or conditions that affect their mobility may use a service dog to help them get around. Handlers will use the dog\u2019s harness to support them. Dogs can also help these people sit down and stand up.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Diabetic Alert Dogs: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Some dogs are so alert they can tell when their handler\u2019s blood sugar is too high or too low. That\u2019s a common problem for diabetics. When dogs detect something wrong, they can get their handlers to take a shot or eat something so their blood sugar returns to normal.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Seizure Alert Dogs: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">People with epilepsy sometimes have seizures that can lead to injuries. Service dogs can call for help when their handler has a seizure. They can also keep them safe during a seizure or stop it early.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A service dog has a big job, and it needs to focus. If you pet it, it may lose its concentration, and the handler can get hurt.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Why Petting Seems Fun (But Isn&#8217;t Okay)<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You may wonder if it&#8217;s illegal to pet a service dog. It\u2019s not, but it\u2019s not advisable either.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Like most dogs, service dogs are very cute. You may want to pet them, but you should know this isn\u2019t okay.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It\u2019s not that the dog or handler doesn\u2019t like you. The dog may like you too much, and it can become distracted if you pet it and stop paying attention to its handler.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">So what happens if they don\u2019t pay attention to their handler? Their handler could get hurt. They could fall, become anxious, have a seizure, or have to be treated for low blood sugar.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>How to Be a Service Dog Superhero<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Knowing how to act around a service animal isn\u2019t easy. But if you follow the rules, you\u2019ll be a service dog superhero. You will ensure handlers stay safe; the dog will be thankful for that.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">So, what should you do if you see a service dog? Here are some rules to follow:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Don\u2019t Pet the Dog: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you really want to pet the dog, ask the handler first. But don\u2019t be offended if they say no.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Don\u2019t Distract the Dog: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Don\u2019t make noises or gestures that cause a dog to lose focus on its job, and don\u2019t try to feed the dog, either.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Give Dogs and Handlers the Right of Way: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you see a service dog and their handler coming, make way for them to pass. Allow them to move without obstacles.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Treat Everyone with Respect: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Never ask a handler about their disabilities. A handler may not look disabled, but if they are with a service dog, there\u2019s probably a reason for it.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Don\u2019t Stare or Point:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Staring and pointing are considered rude.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If a service dog approaches you without their owner, it may need help. Stop what you\u2019re doing, follow the dog, find out what\u2019s happening, and call 911 if necessary.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Once you know how to be a service dog superhero, you can teach your friends about service dogs. Tell them how to act around service dogs. Let them know about service dog etiquette.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Fun Ways to Help Without Petting<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you love service dogs, there are plenty of fun ways to help them without petting. For example, you can:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Educate Others About Service Dogs: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Teach your friends and family about service dog etiquette. You can even post about treating service dogs and handlers respectfully using social media.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Fundraise for Service Dog Organizations:<\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vamicreations.com\/maker-life\/service-dog-for-maker-community\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Several organizations<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> support service dogs and their handlers. They may connect handlers with service dogs or raise awareness of service dog rights. Consider fundraising for them by offering a DIY carwash, selling lemonade, or asking friends and neighbors to donate.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Volunteer Opportunities for Kids and Families: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Organizations that help service dogs and handlers may even let you volunteer. Find out how you and your friends and family can lend a hand.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>Conclusion<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Working service dogs should not be pet or distracted. It\u2019s important not to make them lose focus. Let them do their jobs and keep their handlers safe.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Now that you know service dog etiquette, spread the word. Teach others how to behave around service dogs. If you want to volunteer, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/justice-speaks.org\/contact-us\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Justice Speaks<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> is always looking for help.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">With the right information, you can be a service dog ally. How will you get started?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Service dogs help people with disabilities participate in daily life.
