One can find new ways to enjoy together with the dog. A partnership, but one which must be balanced. This is worked out together. An assistance dog who has tasks to accomplish and whose needs are fulfilled is a satisfied dog.
Studies have shown that, for example, the presence of a dog for people with dementia may encourage behaviour like smile, gazing eyes, caress and speaking.
