Service Dogs, Guide Dogs, and Emotional Support Peacocks with Dan O'Brien and Evan Dobbie

Dan O'Brien, a trauma-informed service dog coach with Service Dogs Atlantic, joins our hosts and reachAbility's dog handler, Evan Dobbie, to discuss the differences between service dogs and guide dogs, the legal and cultural realities around different types of working dogs, how puppies are chosen as training candidates, and which breeds make for the best guide dogs. We also discuss the need for more training for humans, the term "emotional support animal" (it's not a thing), and share our disapproval of peacocks on airplanes.
