Disabled citizens have been using service dogs for years to aid them with their daily tasks. The different types of service dogs are numerous, and they can perform essential tasks that the person may not be able to carry out on their own. Guide dogs are usually noted by their in training dog vest, although it is not required for them to be allowed in businesses.

Guide dogs for the blind date back to the sixteenth century, and they have come a long way since then. Guide dogs can help the visually impaired reach a destination safely by assisting the person in navigating busy city streets or unfamiliar buildings. Their training is impeccable and, unless they are guiding their owner to a new location, could easily not be noticed at all. Hearing impaired citizens use service dogs to alert them to noises in the home and in public. The service dog can recognize sounds such as smoke alarms, ringing phones, and doorbells at home. They can also be used to guide their owner away from sounds that signal danger such as smoke alarms.

Extensive training goes into a service dog to make them able to assist their owners with such important aspects of daily life. The dogs are first tested to make sure their personality is compatible with the job they will need to do. Not every dog has what it takes to be a guide dog. Temperament, responsiveness, willingness to work and an eagerness to please is all necessary traits for a successful guide dog. Most guide dogs for the visually impaired start their training when they are just over a year old. Once training has started they wear an in training dog vest, letting others know they are being trained as a guide dog. Dogs that assist the hearing impaired are also put through extensive training. Professional training can last anywhere from four months to one year.

Although there are multiple companies that train service dogs, some are natural born assistants and can easily be trained at home. Owners can still purchase an in training dog vest to let people know that the dog is being officially taught to assist in their daily lives.
