Gone to the Dogs: a Closer Look at Support Animals
1.0 CLE (Including .5 Ethics)
Course Description
With so much publicity lately about emotional support animals, it’s easy to overlook the very valuable work our furry friends can do.

By the end of the session, participants will be able to:
a. Distinguish between the three types of support animals
b. Understand the laws that helped to create our current animal-indulgent culture
c. Learn how dogs are used in courtroom settings
