When we’re at a doctor’s appointment, therapy session, long meeting, or waiting room… what do we do?
We scroll.
We check email.
We zone out for a minute.
Meanwhile, our service dogs are lying quietly beside us, possibly napping 😴 — doing exactly what we’ve trained them to do.
But they’re still dogs.
Bringing an appropriate chew to a long appointment is not “spoiling” your dog — it’s thoughtful handling.
A quiet, long-lasting chew can:
• Help with duration work
• Prevent restlessness
• Lower stress
• Make public access smoother for everyone
Your dog works hard for you. Packing their go-bag with something appropriate for long waits is just fair!
Structured enrichment is part of responsible handling.
Small detail. Big difference 🙌
Ps. Thank you Saffy and for this great example!
