Challenges and Triumphs in the Service Dog World with Veronica Sanchez

The Bitey End of the Dog

Ever wondered what sets a service dog apart from therapy dogs and emotional support animals? Get ready for a deep dive into the legal frameworks, specifically the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Air Carrier Access Act, and how they impact the lives of individuals with disabilities.
Veronica Sanchez, the distinguished founder of Cooperative Paws Service Dog Coach shares her wealth of experience and anecdotal wisdom, shedding light on the profound responsibilities and challenges faced by service dogs and their handlers.
We also dive into the topic of encountering off-leash dogs, which can be a daunting experience for service dog handlers, especially in bustling urban settings, and explore effective strategies for maintaining service dog focus and composure amidst such distractions. Veronica also discusses the psychological impacts on service dogs and the necessity of downtime for their well-being in this enlightening episode.
