Different Jobs for Different Dogs

Written By Victoria Baker Lisowski

There are so many different types of dogs out there, dogs with specific jobs, dogs with specific struggles, and dogs with specific strengths. But how do we tell them all apart? What’s the difference between and emotional support dog and a therapy dog? What about a normal family pet and a behavior dog? I decided to lay it all out nice and easy. Take a look.

Now we’ve got the basic gist, keep scrolling for cute pictures and a slightly deeper dive.

A drawing of a labrador retriever in a service dog vest. Four points illustrating the job and rights of a service dog.
A drawing of a small dog growling as an example of a Behavior dog. Lists the struggles and lack of rights Behavior Dogs experience without proper training.

This is by no means an exhaustive list of the different kinds of dogs out there, but it is a start. Know what kind of job you want for your dog, and get them the training they’ll need.
