Training your dog is the most important part of canine companionship. A happy dog is one who has structure and boundaries. Dogs are pack animals, and as such, they need guidance in the behavior that you expect from them.

Nearly half of all dogs in animal shelters have at least one behavior issue –aggression and destructiveness being the most common. Both of these behaviors can be caused by the anxiety and fear that originates from improper or incomplete socialization.

I am not to familiar with the laws at this time. I only know that the training, if any, is not the same as a service dog for a companion dog.
