  • The Role of a Puppy Walker
    The role of a puppy walker Registered charity in England and Wales (209617) and in Scotland (SC038979) The role of a puppy walker Thank you for thinking about becoming a puppy walker for Guide Dogs. The information in this leaflet should give you a better understanding of what the job involves and help you with your decision. We are very happy to answer any questions you may have and can arrange for one of our Puppy Walking Supervisors to call you if you wish to discuss things further. Puppy walking is a crucial part of Guide Dogs’ work. Although done on a voluntary basis, it will take a lot of time, commitment and love from both you and your family. The end result, however, is a very special animal indeed. Developing the puppy As a prospective puppy walker, who will care for and develop one of our puppies, it is essential that you consider the following criteria and questions: Essential criteria for puppy walking A puppy needs to be welcomed into your home and understood by all the family. The puppy should be reared with the blend of affection, control and supervision normally given to a young child. As a prospective puppy walker, who will care for and walk one of our puppies, the following criteria are essential: • You must be at least 18 years of age to be responsible for the puppy. Whilst any children at home can enjoy lending a hand, it is important that any puppy training, e.g. lead work, is only carried out by a responsible person.

  • My Animal, My Support, and My New Home in a Retirement Village: Disability Discrimination, Assistance Animals and Old Age
    My Animal, my support, and my new home in a retirement village: disability discrimination, assistance animals and old age Paul Harpur and Nancy A. Pachana1 * Dr Paul Harpur, Senior Lecturer, TC Beirne School of Law, the University of Queensland, Australia and International Distinguished Fellow, the Burton Blatt Institute, Syracuse University, New York. Professor Nancy A Pachana, School of Psychology, the University of Queensland; Co-Director, UQ Ageing Mind Initiative. We thank Ms Caitlin Hunter, Michael Hughes, Joseph Lelliott and Ellen Wood for their excellent research assistance, and editorial work. Introduction The inequalities confronting older Australians have attracted considerable public attention,2 and significant attention in this journal.3 One issue that has not been addressed is how a decision by an older person not to be identified as a person with a disability has important implications for the options they then have to begin or continue to use animals to manage their medical conditions. In this paper we argue that emerging disability anti-discrimination laws and international human rights norms provide new ways of approaching older persons who seek to use animals in managing their quality of life. Where older persons live in their own home, they generally have the choice whether or not to keep a pet, or to obtain or to continue to use an assistance animal. The situation is much different when older persons live in aged care facilities, retirement villages, and in other dwellings with a body corporate. Residents of retirement villages are highly active, yet many also experience health conditions where use of an assistance animal may be warranted, making this group ideal for an analysis of disability identity and assistance animals.

The work or task a doG has been trained to provide must be direCtly related to the person’s disability.” Note: Specially trained miniature horses can also qualify as Service Animals, but have some additional restrictions regarding reasonable accommodations including whether or not they are housebroken, their size, safety issues, etc. Otherwise, Service Miniature Horses have the same rights as Service Dogs. SERVICE DOG TASK EXAMPLES: • GuidinG a handler that is vision impaired. • AlertinG a handler that is hearing impaired to sounds. • ProteCtinG a handler that is having a seizure or going for help. • AlertinG a handler that is about to have a seizure. • RetrievinG dropped items for or pulling a handler in a wheelChair. • ProvidinG room safety checks for a handler with severe Post TraumatiC Stress Disorder (PTSD). • RemindinG a handler who is coGnitively or developmentally disabled to take their medications. • AlertinG a handler with autism to distracting repetitive movements so that they can stop the movement.

  • Hero Dogs White Paper Working Dogs: Building Humane Communities with Man’S Best Friend
    Hero Dogs White Paper Working Dogs: Building Humane Communities with Man’s Best Friend INTRODUCTION Humankind has always had a special relationship with canines. For thousands of years, dogs have comforted us, protected us, and given us their unconditional love. Time and time again through the ages they have proven why they are considered our best friends. Yet, not only do dogs serve as our beloved companions, they are also a vital part of keeping our communities healthy, safe and humane. American Humane Association has recognized the significant contributions of working dogs over the past five years with our annual Hero Dog Awards® national campaign. Dogs are nominated in multiple categories from communities across the country, with winners representing many of the working dog categories. The American Humane Association Hero Dog Awards are an opportunity to educate many about the contributions of working dogs in our daily lives. This paper provides further background into their contributions to building humane communities. Dogs have served as extensions of human senses and abilities throughout history and, despite advancements in technology, they remain the most effective way to perform myriad tasks as working dogs. According to Helton (2009a, p. 5), “the role of working dogs in society is far greater than most people know and is likely to increase, not diminish, in the future.” Whether it’s a guide dog leading her sight-impaired handler, a scent detection dog patrolling our airports, or a military dog in a war zone searching for those who wish to do us harm, working dogs protect and enrich human lives.

  • Emotional Support Animal (ESA)
    International Association of Canine Professionals Service Dog Committee HUD Assistance Animal and Emotional Support Animal definitions vs DOJ Service Dog (SD) Definition At this time, the IACP acknowledges the only country that we are aware of recognizing ESAs is the United States and therefore, the rules and regulations contained in this document are those of the United States. Service animals are defined as dogs (and sometimes miniature horses) individually trained to do work or perform tasks for people with physical, sensory, psychiatric, intellectual or other mental disability. The tasks may include pulling a wheelchair, retrieving dropped items, alerting a person to a sound, guiding a person who is visually impaired, warning and/or aiding the person prior to an imminent seizure, as well as calming or interrupting a behavior of a person who suffers from Post-Traumatic Stress. The tasks a service dog can perform are not limited to this list. However, the work or task a service dog does must be directly related to the person's disability and must be trained and not inherent. Service dogs may accompany persons with disabilities into places that the public normally goes, even if they have a “No Pets” policy. These areas include state and local government buildings, businesses open to the public, public transportation, and non-profit organizations open to the public. The law allowing public access for a person with a disability accompanied by a Service Dog is the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) under the Department of Justice. Examples of Types of Service Dogs: · Guide Dog or Seeing Eye® Dog is a carefully trained dog that serves as a travel tool for persons who have severe visual impairments or are blind.
