FAQ


	Question. What happens if the pet dog cannot fulfill the owner’s request for assistance? Answer. If the dog cannot achieve the training goal, we can introduce another dog that has a higher possibility of meeting the owner’s expectation.


	Question. What can be done if the project participant is severely disabled? Answer. Even if the participant is severely disabled, we encourage his/her involvement as much as possible. We expect the dog trainer to develop different approaches to bring out the best possibilities from both the dog and the participant.


	Question. Why does the training mainly focus on “bonding” between the participant and the dog? Shouldn’t it concentrate more on “bringing out the best ability of the dog”? Answer. This project is not aiming to create a perfect support dog. It is, first and foremost,an animal-assisted therapy to guide the project participants to train their dogs to fulfill the desired assistance.


	We are currently accepting volunteers to help with our project. In the Pure partner dog project, professionals and volunteers, such as a dog trainer, a doctor, a physical therapist, an occupational therapist, a speech therapist, a veterinarian, a psychological counselor and a coordinator, form a team and support the project participant in each area of specialty. How would you like to build a new relationship with your pet dog as a member of our project team? We are waiting for your registration.
