Helper Dogs - Companions as Well as Servants

Although dogs have been helping people for thousands of years, the concept of the 'service dog' was really born after World War I. There were many former soldiers in Germany who had been blinded in action, and dogs were trained to help these unfortunate men lead as normal a life as possible. By 1929, guide dogs for the blind and visually impaired had made their appearance in the United States with training provided by "The Seeing Eye".

For years after the founding of "The Seeing Eye", the only service dogs available were those for the blind, but during the 1960s, it was realized that people with other physical problems could benefit from these well-trained animals. Helper dogs are now divided into three categories: guide dogs for those with vision problems; hearing dogs for the deaf: and service dogs for those with physical disabilities or potentially dangerous medical conditions such as epilepsy.

One of the foremost organizations for providing these types of service animals is "Canine Companions for Independence". The dogs who graduate from their training programs are able to help people who are in wheelchairs, diabetics, and those who are suffering from PTSD. Larger breeds are capable of pulling a person in a wheelchair, and they can help with household chores, such as putting clothes into the washing machine and dryer and taking them out, and also with shopping.

As can be expected, the training is long and intensive. The breed most often used is a Labrador retriever mix; a Lab/Golden mix has been found to be especially successful. However, nearly any breed can be used, and even small breeds are capable of helping out with disabilities such as deafness or mental problems. In the case of someone confined to a wheelchair; however, a larger dog is usually preferable.

Puppies that might become service dogs are fostered with families who provide socialization and rudimentary training. These service-dogs-to-be are taught how to obey basic commands, ride in vehicles, and remain calm in all situations. When the young adult dog is a year to a year and a half in age, it is time to receive more intensive training. At this point, the training facility will make an evaluation of whether the dog is suitable for life as a service dog. Those that are not are put up for adoption (these dogs are adopted quickly because they are very well mannered).

The dogs that are receptive to further training will be taught tasks specific to the disability. Besides learning skills that will help in different situations, the dog also learns that he or she is not to interact with another person or dog while on the job. They learn to ignore distractions so that all their attention can be focused on the person who needs it. Service dogs usually wear a vest when they are 'on duty'. Their free time comes when the vest is removed.

One of the worst aspects of being disabled in any way is the feeling of isolation that often arises. A dog is completely non-judgmental, and does not care whether a person can walk or not or if they are deaf. Dogs have the ability to bond emotionally with those they are helping, and can provide companionship the person might not otherwise know.

Helper dogs are even able to help a disabled person undress and get dressed, as well as fetch items that their human friend may need. It has also been found that they have an ability to detect such medical conditions as an epileptic seizure before it occurs, giving the person a chance to prepare. Service dogs will also remind people when to take their medication and those that help the hearing impaired will let the person know when the telephone is ringing or someone is at the door. In many cases, these dogs have also provided protection when their partner is incapacitated away from home.

In addition to dogs that assist those with disabilities, they are also used in therapy situations. They are not taught a set of skills - their value lies in their calmness and their ability to provide empathy. Therapy dogs are often taken into nursing homes or hospitals, and they are used in hospices to provide comfort to the patients and their families.

Therapy dogs can be any breed - the basic need is for a friendly breed that will respond to people. They have been found to stimulate production of hormones that increase a feeling of well-being, as well as reducing stress. And, once again, the dog has proven that it is indeed man's best friend.
