Austin delivery day three, started the day off with some touch! The touch task for an autism assistance dog is a trained behavior where the dog uses physical contact to help an autistic individual in specific situations. The task leverages the calming and grounding effects of touch to provide emotional regulation, sensory support, or guidance.

Audrey and Austin have been hard at work practicing his tethering task! Tethering is a task performed by an autism assistance dog to help ensure the safety and independence of an autistic individual, often a child. The dog is trained to serve as a stable and reliable anchor when the person attempts to wander or run, behaviors that can be common in individuals with autism.

Here is a link to learn more about tethering and the benefits it can have!

One of the last outings our students took with service dog puppies before they graduate was to the playground and the mall! It is incredibly important for service dogs to remain neutral and composed in every environment. This outing allowed these puppies to walk around on different floor textures as well as get used to the hustle and bustle of crowds and loud noises. Follow along to see what adventures these puppies go on next!

this allows them to be exposed to many new environments and animals so that when it matters most they are not distracted!
