Service Dog Nation

Service Dog Nation highlights Service Dogs as alternative medicine for a happier healthier lifestyle, that breathes new life and another level of freedom for people who have experienced mental or physical adversity in their lives. There is beauty and grace in the unparalleled bond between a person whose life experience would not be the same without the assistance of their dog everyday.

There’s an increase of service dogs in public and discussion about authenticity of working dogs, without fully understanding the variety of jobs dogs hold and the people that need them. Service Dog Nation Host, Nancy Sommers, is here to raise awareness that the gifts a service dog can provide are life-changing. It’s time we raise service dog integrity with perspective from those that use a service, guide or emotional support dog, and those working in the expanding area of canine careers for the people who need them. This includes children with autism, civilians & veterans w/PTSD, hearing and sight impaired, mobility & diabetes just to name a few services dogs provide.

You’ll hear guests with first hand experience and heartfelt stories to issues for businesses a service dogs presence impacts’ including: schools, college campuses and labs, the travel industry, hotels, restaurants, hospital staff & mental health professionals. You (and Nancy) will both discover new findings and ways to gather statistics and expand thought in this industry for the purpose of hopefully, one day, creating a heartfelt Service Dog NATION that understands no matter what the need is, our beloved dogs are the secret weapon to healing.
