Although German Shepherds were first used, the Secret Service now uses only Belgian Malinois dogs from Holland. Known for their adaptability to new climates and environments and their work drive, these dogs are exceptional members of the Secret Service.

A psychiatric service dog is a dog that helps someone with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorders, or other mental health conditions. All service dogs complete specialized training that complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). These dogs can go anywhere with their owner, from restaurants to airplanes.

Places of residence, employment, and commercial facilities cannot discriminate against disabled individuals with service animals. If you are wondering how to get a service dog, you can either purchase a fully trained dog or purchase a service puppy and train it.
