In this video I show you the top psychiatric service dog tasks that I am frequently asked to help owner-trainers train their service dogs to do to mitigate their disability and increase their independence. The tasks are grouped into categories, including Crowd Control/Managing Space, Grounding/Deep Pressure Therapy, Item Retrieve, Behavior Interruption, and Episode Response.
The goal of this video is to show you the scope of tasks that a psychiatric service dog can be trained for. While many people start by training one or two tasks to their PSD, there is so much that a psychiatric service dog can be helpful with, and you may find that you want to add one or two of these tasks to your training list.
