Some dogs know. They know how to help you in the ways you need. Knowing when you're about to faint. Alerting if you've fallen. Supporting mobility by body placement. Interrupting patterns of behaviour.
Other dogs are taught.
In order to be accredited in Victoria and given public access, regardless of if your dog "just knows" or if they've been taught; all assistance dogs need:
1) To be assigned to a person with a diagnosed condition.
2) To have a medical professional endorse the need for a dog for the person.
3) To be signed off by an accredited dog trainer of a Cert IV, showing that they are obedient, not a public nuisance, and are task trained.
4) To gain final approval from the minister of agriculture that your dog meets the above requirements.
Reach out if you'd like to know more.
