Children should be aware of the physical or emotional difficulty that may be imposed on the dogrsquo;s handler when the dog is distracted. Discuss with the child the importance of the work these dogs perform as a team with their human companions. Emphasise that the relationship between dog and handler is a two way one, and that the dog is not just doing a job but is a highly valued, much loved and well cared for family member.nbsp;/p>
