I started my career with dogs as a Los Angeles Police Officer, decoying several of their dogs, and being used for Search purposes. They used me because for some reason their dogs loved to bite, and find me.
After I retired from LAPD, I was hired by the City of Long Beach, as an Animal Control, where I was given my own shift, and worked with Emergency calls, Cruelty Complaints, and Injured Dogs.

contact him, and corroborate my dog training, using his Psychology.
•I entered the “CAREER FOR DOG TRAINERS” WITH Steve Cobb, (a self-proclaimed national AKC Obedience Champion, from Miami Florida, and out of some 5000 students finished in first place.

Caregivers with Paws - Bob Taylor
PhD.
Introduction
Caregiving for those individuals with Dementia related behaviors has become a major social consideration around the world. I have researched Dementia through University Courses of Instruction, and studied information as reported by the world’s leading research facilities. I have become overwhelmingly convinced that, based on the actual physiology of those with Dementia, a properly trained and Certified Dementia Service Dog is:
• Able to greatly enhance the present caregiver’s ability to care for the affected person more responsibly and comprehensively
• Able to preserve the dignity of those affected with Dementia, increasing their ability to function at home and socially, safely, and more comfortably.
• Able to understand and respond to the needs of those affected by Dementia beyond that of a human caretaker.
As will be illustrated and shown to the reader throughout this writing, there are several different areas, as well as specific issues and situations where the services and performance of a trained Service Dog are now only capable of enhancing the ability to provide for the caregiving, dignity, and functionality of a person affected by Dementia, but have been proven to be essential to those abilities as well. There are several reasons that will be presented to the reader, showing the validity of such an investment.
Just because of their superior ability to help in many areas with someone that has Dementia, it doesn’t mean that an intelligent and supervising effort from a human counterpart isn’t necessary, because it is. There are some areas where our abilities are indispensable. However, there are different areas of caregiving where a trained Dementia Service Dog can be far superior to even a human. Due to the exact physiological cause and expression of this disease in the mind of the affected person, a trained Dementia Service Dog has a much stronger capacity to understand, respond, and in many ways provide the care that person needs, than a human being does.
LONG TERM CARE AND SERVICE DOGS
There are important considerations that many individuals are now facing earlier, and earlier. Based on recent statistics, ten million Americans suffer from the progressive disorders caused by Dementia. One in four adults is now involved in caregiving for someone with a Dementia related disease. In looking for answers for your caregiving needs, what you need to look for and consider are reasonable answers that will protect you. You need to consider all the costs, and programs they represent, and how they will affect the quality of your life:
• Financially
• Mentally and emotionally
• And physically.
CAN INSURANCE TAKE CARE OF YOU?
After 20 years of care taking for her mother, my wife decided to get involved in pre-planning for her future. At 39 years-of-age my wife decided to start a Long term Care Insurance program, and paid $125.00 for three months for
