    Do you think that normal training sessions can be difficult? Teaching the dog to sit, stay, down, come, and heel all require weeks of dedicated effort on the part of you and your dog. In contrast to this, it can take many months and sometimes years to train service dogs such as police, search and rescue, and guide dogs. 
Here, you’ll find out the easiest way to train your own service dog alongside the duration of the training and what the minimum requirements are. 
Service dogs are becoming more and more accepted as a way for disabled people to regain some of their independence and abilities. And even recently it has been shown that children with autism can also benefit from having a service dog. These types of dogs are so valuable, and so much time has gone into training them 
Effective service dogs training cannot be implemented without a clear strategy and well developed plan. While just about anyone can train dogs and get their household dog to respond reasonably in most everyday situations, training a dog for service is very different.
