There are three general "types" in which an assistance dog may be classified. Most assistance dogs will be trained for only one of these, though "combination" dogs do exist.
Assistance dogs come from a specific training program or are trained by their handler (ideally with the help of a professional trainer). In many areas of the world, assistance dogs are not required to have any sort of "certification" or proof of their training; however, most programs voluntarily certify their dogs, and many wear a Harness or Cape to identify them. In the United States, the Americans With Disabilities Act Of 1990 protects the rights of disabled individuals to be accompanied by their assistance dogs in public places. Many state laws also offer protection to individuals using assistance dogs. EXTERNAL LINKS
