Bernie – SD and ESA
March 20, 2024
This is Bernie. He is in training but is performing well at his trained assistance response which is the “Help” command. When I feel an anxiety attack coming, I say this word, and he is trained to come and sit still with his head in my lap, applying pressure with his chin. His stillness allows me to stroke him, and the pressure helps me feel that I am supported. Once trained, he will also be taught to create a perimeter around me if I instead need space during my anxiety, and he is learning to stabilize me when I get lightheaded or off balance from my anxiety or blood sugar issues.
