So i'm double majoring in wildlife conservation & management and Animal behavior. I plan on training service/therapy animals with the Animal
Behavior bit. I was just thinking... How many of you have even thought of getting an anxiety dog. You can actually train them yourself because you need less certifications for an emotional support dog than you do a medical alert dog or a service dog for the physically disabled. I've actually considered training my pitbull mix for an anxiety dog. She always knows when Im having an attack, even at night, and she will come climb on top of me and lick my face. It's really cute. But she's mot trained for the public (yet). I know service animals can be a LOT of help to a lot of people. Have any of you thought about trying that out?
